The Nintendo Wii is a great FAMILY console, with all the family friendly games, and it's a great "by your-self" console, with great one player games. The controller is great, it functions great, and has avatars "Mii" just like the 360. Howevver, the graphics seperate the two. Most of the Wii Games have bad graphics, not even CLOSE to the 360 or ps3. The ps3 "move" controller is similar to the wii controller, and the 360 KINECT has no controller. So if you have a 360, get the kinect, as there are family/single style games for the kinect with awesome graphics. Playing it simple and want a controller? take the wii. Makes a great gift to you or anyone you know.
