Me and my 8 year old bro want to buy a xbox or a wii, for his age what would be better to buy?
my 8 year old bro has a Wii, and i have a 360. But overall we play the Wii more.
wii, definetly
360 Tbh, Wii is a very novelty item and will get boring after about a week. Xbox will keep you going for a long time.
Definetly a Wii, while the Wii lacks in games, the 360 lacks in games for that age aswell. Actually maybe it might be a good idea to get a PS2, lots of games for a kid that age.
wii defiantly because of the age as they tend to have more suitable games. but in saying that also looking above i saw ps2 suggested, that is also a great choice and my 7 and 10 year old little brothers play it very often and have now made a large collection of games :P
Well, considering that he is 8 years old, I'd reccomend the Wii. The Wii has all kid games. =] But still fun! :D

Super Smash Brothers is also coming out in the near future, which was always so addicting on the Gamecube, and is something really worth considering.
I have all 3 consoles, and I am finding myself always playing the 360, this is simply due to preference over the ease of accessiblity for me (I can never use the TV in the house) and the fact that it has xbox live, hence I can play with all of my friends from the comfort of my own home.
Most 360 games are geared towards older people, whereas the Wii has more 3+ games, which is probably better, because then your brother won't be exposed to too much gore! The Wii is also so cheap could be another factor, but hey it's your call.

x360 if he can handle games for 13 year olds. If not then well... The x360 because there are some kid games on it and there are some for you.
The Wii just lacks any amount of decent content. You got Mario Galaxy and that's it. The other games are just not that good.
NoPeace - out
If it is for you and your brother I'd go for the Wii, because I think multiplayer is where it triumphs. If it was just for one of you I'd say the 360. I have both and I wreckon I use my Wii about 1/20 times compared to my 360, I'm not putting the Wii down at all though, I just prefer the maturity of the 360 games.
my 9 year old brother plays xbox live and he gets abused all the time cause his 9 :P but with the wii you get bored. its your call
360 imo
easier gamertags (or usernames, if you prefer)
better games, im not into those lame bowling games for the wii, etc.
xbox live is incredible, though you have to pay :(
ps3 ftw tho.
I would get an XBOX 360.
they make plenty of games on it I have one myself.
The Graphics are Great!
WII is bit weird and it is a bit fun but I don like it that much.
PS3 is pretty good... but I definetly Prefer 360
hope I helped you decide :)
Look, the PS3 is garbage and should be used as a boat anchor. Sure it has nice features but the games are horrible and cannot compete with the games that 360 has. Wii is nice because it has games that everyone likes. Wii falls back on their original games to much (mario, fox, samus, etc...) and thats why I don't think it is the best. 360 overall rules all and will for a while.

oh and xbox has the orange box?
woopdie do.
i think that you should buy Wii bought a 360 last week and played for 2 hours and my 360 broke got the 3 Red Lights so 360 is a garbage
I love sucking penis.
i got the PS3 because were gonna be using it as a media center as well. i heard that the PS3 will catch up in games this year
Yeah it definetly will, it has some great games lined up, and a bunch that show some real promise, that next to many multiplatform quality games such as Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, The Orange Box and many more.
It may catch up in games, but as a media centre i prefer my 360, tbh i dont want blu ray, although the way things are going blu ray is gunna win. Warner Bros and Disney have both teamed up with Blu Ray, rather than HD DVD.
PS3's game line up for this year is staggering and weak. They're still promoting PS2 games for a reason. Not to mention Sony sold Devil May Cry and GTA to Xbox. PS3 online is garbage compared to Xbox's user friendly Xbox live. Also most of PS3's best games are not just for that system and are also on Xbox. Xbox has Lost Planet, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Too Human (upcoming next-gen), Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears of War, Dead Rising (best zombie killing game in along time). All those games and more are ONLY for xbox, PS3 doesn't have that good of a line up and never will. Sure they have good games coming up but there NOT for PS3 only. Which goes to show that you practically bought a boat anchor if you have PS3
Sony did not sell DMC or GTA, they were never Sony's to begin with, they just made deals, but it was never upto Sony, always the gaming companies.
Maybe so, but it's also free.Quote:

Maybe so, but they're gaining titles, and they got a great line-up this year.Quote:

PS3 version coming out in a few weeks.Quote:
Xbox has Lost Planet
PS3 has Ninja Gaiden Sigma, so that really doesn't matter.Quote:
Ninja Gaiden 2
It does have a good line-up, and many of them are exclusive. You should do some research before making such claims.Quote:
