xbox or ps3 or wii?

For a game fan, it is not a different problem to choose from XBOX360, PS3 or wii. Actually these three game consoles have different position. Wii has a very different product position with the others, it designed for whole family to have fun. For example, my mother bought a Wii, and placed it in living room, sometimes she plays the "motion games" with my father, in my view, the Wii's game image is so bad, like some 90's game, even PS2 has a better performance. But Wii achieved a perfect sale goal in whole world, the most important key to success, is right product position ---- "for simple fun".

In modern times, people always busy and can not spend whole hours time to play video games. And the games are increasing their performance, actually the difficult levels. I bought a xbox 360 just for play the NBA 2k11, because the 2k11 added the Jordan to the game, and with a new game mode called "JORDAN mode", but if you want to add the Jordan to your favorite team, you must pass the whole 10 challenges, are all about need to score 50+ pts and 8+ asts. I am a old player of 2k series, but it is so hard for me to pass the  challenges. Maybe if I takes 3 whole days to do this I can achieve it, but 3 days mean a lot, I promise if I am crazy, I will do this.

But Wii is different, each games maybe takes you 5 minutes to finish. And without any practice, you can achieve a high score on it. That's why my mum spend 30 minutes playing table tennis with my dad on it. It is really fun. At past, video games been treated a unhealthy action.Wii changed this view, all wii games need you play with the motion pad, you need to act the image action. It is simple, but produce so many fun.

PS3 and Xbox360 didn't thought Wii is their competitor at first, they just developed more interesting games, and want to beat the other, after spend so many labor and money on game development, they find that customers do not need the high level performance, they just need a simple game to relax. So, SONY and MS both introduce their new products that have same function with Wii. In other words, they deny Wii's success.

  1. In my opinion, Wii is much easier to play with, even you did not play any game before, it is fine, if only you focus on the game. But PS3 and XBOX 360 are totally different, you have to practice a lot. For me, for instance, played PES 2011 on the XBOX, and I found that it is hard for me to control the players in the game. Actually, they face to the different type of people compare to Wii. They are more energetic and athletic, and more popular among the young people.

  2. I think that the PS3 adds much more features than the xbox for my age bracket (early 20's). The Playstation 3 adds Blu-Ray capabilities as well which not only allows for higher video quality on their video games, but lets you watch Blu-Ray movies as well. There is also a Wi-Fi capability in the PS3, which Xbox just added into their newest system. I also think that PS3 will drop its price from 300 to 200 dollars by the holiday season.
