Ok I think I get it. So the Wii is a better system for your household. Fair enough.Okay, I'll clarify. Wii wins because of the types of games that it has, price, and multiplayer capability. The PS3 at my house rarely gets used for anything other than watching movies (we bought it as a Blue Ray Player. At the time, PS3s and blue ray players were the same price, so it made sense), though we have a few of the Disney games. Most of the games on PS3 I'm not wild about. Wii tends to have more games that are family oriented, which is what I'm looking for. I'm not going for all the first-person shooter games. For those of you who have seen Wreck-it Ralph, I tend to be more of a Sugar Rush player than a Hero's Duty player. Plus, the Wii is in the basement. If we use the PS3, we have to take over the TV upstairs, and my dad kicks us off eventually. Wii games tend to be cheaper; the controllers were cheaper (the second one we got with Wii play. Game plus a controller). Though we don't own any previous Nintendo system games, the Wii has the advantage of playing the games from the previous systems, as well as using their controllers for certain games. The PS3 also tends to be a malfunctioning system. It overheats even though we keep it clean. It gives error messages on a regular basis. It needs frequent updates. It logs me out of my playstation account. I also like the versatility of the Wii remote and how certain games force you to move around instead of just sitting on your butt. We got the PS3 before the Wii. My dad bought it mainly because we weren't as happy with the PS3. So for my family, it's the Wii. But for others, it might be PS3, especially if you're more of a hard-core gamer. But just like not every Disney experience is right for everyone, not every gaming system is right for everyone. The PS3 does have better graphics than Wii overall (Epic Mickey and its sequel have decent graphics, though) and the picture quality for Netflix steaming is better on the PS3.
I've never had an X-box, nor do any of my friends, so I can't speak for it, though I've heard it's a very nice system.
I thought we were talking overall where Xbox would come out dominate due to price, game library size, specs and multiplayer experience.
P.S. You should check out the Wii U, It's like everything you love from the Wii but with updated specs and a free iPad!
