To Wii or not to Wii. Actually, the question is, “To Wii or to Xbox 360.” It’s a predicament many, many consumers have faced, are facing, or will eventually face when their current game console finally kicks the proverbial bucket. In this article, both will be stripped down and examined for what they really are. Controllers will go head to head. Online capability will battle it out. Graphics will get it on (get your mind out of the gutter). Pros will be weighed against cons. Let’s get ready to rumble.

First, let’s talk audience. I’ve heard many a “serious gamer” talk all kinds of smack about the Nintendo Wii, saying it’s for girls, sissies, and any other offensive term for less than manly people. That’s all fine and dandy, but have you heard the masses—meaning unserious gamers—talk about Xbox as a game console for the new generation? Not so much. The thing is, the Xbox is confusing and intimidating to a lot of so-called ordinary people, while the Wii is an adorable, inviting console to gamers of all levels and interests.
Speaking of confusion, let’s take a look at the controllers. Xbox controllers are massive and look a little something like a switchboard, and this is completely necessary for Xbox games, as they permit a player to do tricks, switch guns, change to night vision, or what have you, depending on the game. The Wii remote doesn’t have all of that stuff. In fact, the remote depends on the very movement of the gamer him/herself to play the game. You know how when there’s a sharp turn in a racing game and we all lean into whichever way we’re turning, as if it’s going to help? With the Wii, it actually does. I’m pretty sure that’s the exact game-playing behavior that got the Wii invented in the first place.
Now the graphics. Okay, okay, Xbox game graphics are pretty fantastic. And since many are High Definition-compatible, it’s tough to compete. Unfortunately for the Wii, HD actually magnifies any shortcomings in the graphics, instead of amplifying the good stuff. It looks fine on standard definition television sets though, so people without HD can happily play without a worry. It’s also important to note that oftentimes, the graphics depend on the game and not just the console. In Wii territory, the graphics are purposefully mediocre, the way cartoons South Park or Dr. Katz aren’t visually impressive but still extremely charming.

And finally: price. The bottom line is that the Xbox 360 is far more expensive than the Wii. With a price tag of $250.00 for the necessary hardware to play a game (minus the game, of course), the Wii is much less expensive than the Xbox which ranges from $300.00 to over $500.00, depending on what style and even color you’d prefer.
Are there reasons to splurge on the Xbox 360? Sure. But if you’re just looking for a good time in a game console, the Wii’s the way to go.
