Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard of the Nintendo Wii.  Released in time for last holiday season, you still have to camp out or pay double on eBay for one of these consoles.  The Wii takes gaming to a whole new level with it’s user friendly, remote controller and nunchucks.  You could golf with grandpa or kill bunnies with your 3-year-old niece.  Dis baby’s da bomb.

PS3

This console has had a bit of a rough ride.  Its beefy price point and a few bugs have made its release (especially next to the Wii) a bumpy one.  Don’t think this has made them easy to find by any means.  The games made for this console can cater to a different audience than Nintendo’s more kid-friendly games, and as bugs gets fixed, the PS3 will give most PC’s a run for their money.

Xbox360

Don’t think this console has disappeared just because of the hype the other two have had...
