The Wii is made for a more 'family friendly' environment, with many games that a lot of people like to play (golf, bowling, boxing etc.) The PS3 and 360 are more for the serious gamers. A lot of people bought the 360 just because of the Halo series which is fine and I will be the first to say is an awesome game. But the 360 did come out almost a complete year ahead of the PS3 which means it is almost that far behind in its technology. The PS3 has a fast processor and dual video cards which can raise frame resolution by about 2x for 4x better. Really either system is very good, the 360 has a big advantage in one key component, Xbox Live. Multiplayer is where the 360 does the most damage to the PS3 superiority. Im waiting for PS3 to get its cards right before I shell out that kind of money for one.
