The Christmas Console Wars: round one to Xbox?

Re: Re: Wii all the way

Pete why don't you get the Wii back from your girlfriends mum and invest in some other titles?

Zelda, Mario Party, Smooth moves, Tiger Woods have all kept me playing on the Wii but for you I'd like to suggest the Big Brain Academy.

Nintendo's Wiinner

I've recently purchased a Wii after owning both a PS1 and PS2 and playing on my brothers XBOX and XBOX 360 and couldn't be happier with my decision.

I've bought 11 titles for the Wii which means I've spent the same amount of money as I would have buying a PS3 and 1 game.

The Wii has it all as far as I'm concerned! I can battle away on my own on games like Red Steel and Zelda. Have hours of fun with the kids playing Wii Sports or Wii Play. When the lads come round it's time for a round of Tiger Woods or a blast on Mega Strike and as for parties it there is an endless list of titles to get out and enjoy. I seem to get invited to more parties recently and there's always the “Oh and bring your Wii if you want?” at the end of the invitation.

I've never known a console to be so versatile and to actually get so much use out of one. I'd only occasionally had chance to play on the consoles predecessors on limited selection of titles Mario Cart, Mario Brothers and FIFA. These are all now available to download and play on the Wii for next to nothing.

If your going to buy a console this Christmas it has to be the Wii it’s the most fun I’ve had on a console and I’ve heard nothing but good from anyone who’s played on mine.

<Pete's Post>the Xbox is the only contender this Christmas for a serious gamer, the PS3 still has no true killer apps, and Wii will only be offering Metroid and Mario, big names indeed but will they appeal to Nintendo's current market of wiimote waving sports enthusiasts?<Pete's Post>

Some other titles due out in time for Christmas Medal of honour 32 multiplayer, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicals, FIFA08, Mario & Sonic, NBA, Ghost Squad, Tony Hawks and Dave Mirra. I'm sure there must be some I'm missing but these should keep the "serious gamer" occupied but just incase the "serious gamer" has any friends there are all the additional Wii only titles to enjoy.
