Is Xbox 360 Better Than Nintendo Wii And Ps3?

The question we will attempt to answer in this article is as follows: Is Xbox 360 better than Nintendo Wii and Ps3? While it's true that what is better to one person may not be better to someone else, determining the superiority of one game system to another can often be done with a simple comparison of the various features and benefits of each one. First, let's examine the selling points of the Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 offers three different core processors which operate at a lightning fast 3.2 GHz each. The system also features a graphics processor which boasts 500 MHz. What does this mean in layman's terms? It means that you get to experience incredibly realistic graphics with any game you choose to play. Not only that, but you can play with wireless controllers for ultimate freedom. Playing games isn't the only thing you can do with the Xbox 360. You can play audio CDs, access digital camera images, watch high definition movies and television, and combine different media formats together at once. For example, you can play music at the same time that you're playing a game. The cost for one of these systems? Approximately $299 for a basic system with no bundled games or accessories. There are bundled packages that come with extras like controllers and games that you can purchase for a higher price.

Now let's examine the Nintendo Wii. This system is set to hit stores in North America on November 19th, 2006. The Wii is Nintendo's smallest and most powerful gaming console ever, and is eagerly anticipated by gamers everywhere. For around $249, you can get one of these consoles if you're lucky enough to grab one before they sell out. The Nintendo Wii is backwards compatible with all GameCube games and offers incredible power in a tiny package. This system can connect to the Internet even when it's turned off, making it easy to take your gaming experience online. One of the selling points of this system is its bluetooth technology powered wireless remote which can be controlled with one hand. Another cool feature of the Wii is the use of channels -- you can access your discs, your local weather, a neat avatar creator and even a Web browser.

Then there's the Play Station 3 from Sony, scheduled for North American release on November 17th. This is another game console that offers backwards compatibility, which means you can play your PS1 and 2 games on this system. A Cell Broadband Engine and Blu-Ray Technology, in addition to two different configurations to choose from are just some of the features you'll receive. You can play games on your TV or online, enjoy CDs, and watch DVDs with this game system. The 20GB configuration costs around $499 retail, while the 60GB configuration runs $599. However, pre-orders for this system are running a lot more than that at the current time!

So, back to the question is Xbox 360 Better Than Nintendo Wii And Ps3? It honestly depends on the game enthusiast asking the question. Some gamers simply have particular games that they like better than others that are only offered by a particular company. When it comes to features and benefits, all three systems in question are packed full of cutting-edge technology, incredible graphic capabilities and lots of multimedia options.
