    I would want the Wii(My cousin has the Wii)

  3. 360 has Xbox Live so you can download free demos and stuff. Plus u can play all kinds of xbox games on it. God Bless

  4. Xbox 360 has the best graphics and the most games. I would have to go with the 360. But if u dont care if the graphics are just a little bit weird and u have the money then get a PS3.

  5. Personally, I think that the Wii is the best because I like the backward-compatability thing, and the fact that you can actually MOVE and not be a couch potato. I rate the Wii ****
