Win/Win

[I have played all three consoles]

PS3 just a PS2 with better graphics oh and craptastic motion sensing and no rumble...[woo omg yay >_>]Basically only reason to get a PS3 is the blu-ray since a blu-ray drive costs about as much as a ps3...

360 same as original with better graphics and that's about it...

Wii is new. Big N took a risk and I think they planned this out very nicely. Sleek, cost and power efficient, good games, etc...

Oh, and a $200 HD-DVD option is nice too (cheaper really if you consider it comes with a 360 system remote and King Kong on HD; oh and interoperability with a PC). Just wish it had HDMI (please release a new version MS), although the HD-15 cable does (correct me if I'm wrong; I'm not entirely sure) offer better picture quality, albeit without uncompressed audio.]]>Feb 22nd 2007 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/Feb 21st 2007 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/Feb 22nd 2007 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/for the average leisure gamer the wii is perfect. cheap, doesnt need to much energy and looks good (the device) and the graphics are more than just ok.
and the other two? i dont know who should buy them. hardcore gamers use a pc, so yes they are for "compensating" ;)

and escalades are the crapiest cars ever. but maybe you need such a big car to always have your SEM with you, to find your part you are compensating for ...]]>Feb 22nd 2007 4:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/Feb 22nd 2007 5:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/
I traded my car in for a Piaggio Fly150. It gets about 70mpg and I've gotten it up to 68mph on the highway. Comparing it to the Wii. Transportaion Device = Gaming Device. Check. Efficiant way to do it? Check. Stylish as hell? Check.

And sure, you could pay a lot more $ for a lot more of the same ole thing, (Cars or gaming systems) but paying less for something way more fun seems to be a pattern in my life. ]]>Feb 22nd 2007 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/

Course, games at all for the Wii would be a plus, right? Where are they?

Methinks the novelty is wearing off: maybe Nintendo should've made a motion-sensing controller for the Gamecube after all.

The fact that the post suggests, even tongue-in-cheek, that we should buy a Wii to forgo high power consumption is absolutely ludicrous. Maybe you should buy a console based on which one has fun games, or in the Wii's case, games at all!

WTG Nintendo- you've made a green, novelty impulse-buy of a console: how about you release some games for it so that we can actually compare consoles on attributes that matter, mmkay?

Mod me down fanboys- I'll take it in stride. While you come up with 1001 reasons why I'm stupid and your precious Wii rules, I'm gonna go play my 360 and have fun. And always remember: you can play ACTUAL TENNIS and get tennis-elbow, and hey, you don't use ANY electricity AT ALL!]]>Feb 22nd 2007 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/Feb 22nd 2007 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/Feb 22nd 2007 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/nintendo-wii-beats-up-on-the-competition-in-power-savings/
