Not taking sides on which system is better.
But! Sony did make improvements in gameplay. One being the wireless controller running on bluetooth and secondly the control being much lighter then its predecessor.

Also I heard but havent tried it, that if you move the ps3 controller sideways or forward and backward when you are playing that it is supposed to affect the character or whatever that you are controlling.

Thanks to breakthrough technology and a highly sensitive motion sensing system, the controller becomes a natural extension of the user’s body.
I actually tried it today playing NBA-07 and it did work.

yeah brian and i stayed outside for 14 hours yesterday and the wii is amazing. you can do everything you want to and more. you can go bowling (its just like bowling only there isnt a heavy ball), you can fight samuris, play zelda, and demolish cities as a monster all on one console. you can actually move and jump around as part of the game.

No offense but the wii systems main attraction seems to be a couple games and a controller. Other games can make a controller just like nintendos but a little different if thats what they want to do. I still plan on buying a wii.

Isn't that the case with all systems?

The Wii is great!
I played some wii sports at my house, and it was great!

AWWWWWWWW YEAH!!!!!!!!!

i waited on line since saturday morning 7:00 and got my wii sunday at 9:30, i was #6 on line and had the time of my life while waiting

the best buy i waited at had only 87 wii and 96 people on line... people were pissed but then again, a couple ppl's credit cards didn't work
-i got zelda and redSTEEL

ITS SO AWESOME!!!! I'M CUTTING PEOPLE UP W/ THE SWORD/KATANA AS WE SPEAK.

the only downside to the wii is that you should stay more than 4 feet from the tv... cuz then the pointer will go off teh screen quite often.

this is not the case for the wii. the new controller changes the entire way that you play video games. it gets you way more involved. also if you have wireless internet where your wii is, then you can play against other "mii"s, you get automatic system updates, you can get different wii channels (tv only nintendo), it will download suprises such as new characters or new levels or new challenges for your games even when its off, and even the launch game is fun.

we were #10 in line for the wii, and there were only 28 wiis at the walmart. a fake handicapped kid tried to get in the front of the line but i called him out on not being disabled. i swear a riot was brewing.
