Let me start out by saying I have owned all three current gen systems. With the recent price drops I think now is a good time to do a simple comparison so I'll do my best. I'm actually on my second wii, i bought one in 2006 at the launch and after 3 years it stopped reading discs. I think my issue was pretty isolated, but honestly I can't complain I got plenty of entertainment value out of it for the price in my honest opinion. The only other hardware issue I have had is the lights on the remotes, they seem to burn out very quickly for me, but it doesn't ruin the function of the remote.

So how does the wii stack up against the ps3 and the xbox? Quite honestly it really only beats the others in two departments and with the recent price drop it's more like one, but it's a biggie! The wii is FUN, it's fun for a group of people, it's fun for people who don't play video games on a regular basis and for ones that do. My wife and I play the wii together quite a bit, we always play it when friends visit and it's a lot of fun. It doesn't have the graphics of the ps3 or the xbox 360, it isn't the media hub that the other two are, for the most part what the games lack in graphics they make up for easily in fun.

The controllers are innovative, the game play is innovative and prior to the price drop of the xbox and ps3 I would have said if you only buy one system the wii is definitely worth considering. With the price drops of all of the systems the choice is not so easy now. My recommendation, i guess would be this: If you plan on playing a lot with friends and family when the visit and not so much by yourself or online then the wii is a solid choice. If you plan on playing online games and playing a lot of solo games then I've got to recommend the PS3 or even the Xbox (you can see my ps3 vs xbox review for my conclusion on the winner there).

Hopefully this review will be helpful to someone doing their xmas shopping this year.

My 7 year old son loves this game and as an adult gamer I find it pretty fun myself!

It's also really fun trying out the entire arsenal of Nerf guns available.
