  1. wii is very cool and you can play over the internet for free just like xbox live which you have to pay for

  2. I don’t know what to buy ???????

  3. 360 is the most popular , but 360 doesn’t last very long. Sooo you have to buy it several times.

  4. wii is fun but has bad graphics on other titles that were centered on other consoles. it also lacks that many games that adults will like… to put it this way it would be hard to switch from xbox to wii i have a wii and i think the best games for it are the ones made just for it and ones made by nintendo (you get hot after playing games like wii sports resort) so both are good a bit but my ds broke so now i want a psp

      wii doesn’t have bad graphics it have built in pixel shaders game developers have to make their pixel shaders and other thingsfor the games. Look at metroid prime 3 and super mario galaxy do they look bad? No but third party developers treat the wii like a ps2 because they are lazy so they port a ps2 over to the wii slap on unresponsive motion controls and call it a day.

        that’s right!
        Wii is more awesomer!
        And it does have good graphics.
        If the graphics are bad, blame the game developer, not the system!
