This is a question that is both simple and one that I am interested in hearing the results from, Gameplay vs HD games.
Lets say just for a moment that the Nintendo Wii has much better gameplay that the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360, now before fanboys start going off on one…please just believe it for a second (True or Not).
If that is the case then would you sacrifice the better gameplay on the Nintendo Wii for undoubtedly much better hardware in the 360 and PS3 consoles?
Some gamers could never live without their HDTV and playing games in full 1080i/p, my personal experience is the Nintendo Wii only comes out for parties and when groups of friends come over. My Sony PS3 gets played everyday when it’s just me or me and a friend…also on a nice HDTV.
So tell us, if you had to pick what’s more important to you:
1) Gameplay
2) Better graphics

If you prefer graphics, then try to just sit and watch it like a movie and don’t ask to play the game.
This question is ambiguous.
This is predicated on the fact that Wii=best game play and PS3/Xbox=best graphics. I think it’s more like:
Wii=9 out of 10 for game play
PS3/Xbox 360 = 7 out of 10 for game play
AND
Wii=4 out of 10 for graphics
PS3/Xbox=10 out of 10 for graphics
I just don’t think it’s a straight up trade off. I think the game play is negligible at best but the graphics are FAR superior on PS3/Xbox.
p.s. @Shade. You clearly haven’t ever played the PS3. I’ve played both and to say Super Mario Galaxy is even in the same neighborhood as the worst PS3 you must be on crack.
i really do not understand those people who are letting their wii gather dust(if that even true). afterall the wii is in demand and you could make a tidy sum on a console which you clearly do not care about.
nintendo wii is a pretty borin console and ps3 and xbox 360 are amazin and everybody thinks that nintendo wii is the bestt just because of the adverts but when u actually play on it it gets boring unlike ps3 and xbox 360.
bill is an idiot
LOL, so far I got 7 games for the PS3 and I can tell you from experience that with games like Super Mario Galaxy, PS3 or the 360 has a hard time matching the Wii. I am not the only one that thinks like this, just look at the evidence of REAL video game players and the reviews. Why is Super Mario Galaxy ranked as Game of the Year. I admit, there are some effects that definitely look better on the PS3, like the realness of Water in Unreal Tournament, or the detail of the ceramic flooring on Orange Box, but Nintendo clearly has proven that they are the most experience when it comes to developing games.
@Eric
Come on man, I can tell you are a rookie. You must be about 15 years old. Do you have a high def tv? Do you even have a Wii? Stop looking at the pics on the internet and start playing the games for yourself. I have a PS3 using the High Definition Media Interface Cables and I have the Wii using the HD Component Cables. Even though the resolution is clearly better for the PS3, there are some effects on Galaxy that simply screams wow. Nintendo said, that they dont need a high specification system, they will rely upon their skill in developing and it shows that the Wii is definitely sufficient when it comes to graphics. If Galaxy isn’t enough, then SSBB is going to show us more.
u stupid fools…..all 3 consoles are crap, im making my own at the moment, it’s basically a mix of all three:
so gameplay = 10 out of 10
and graphics well as you guessed= 10 out of 10
just finishin it off
should be done by May 2008! and I am not bullshitin…just wait guys 
it’ll be worth it !
Daniel, you sir are a twat. I’m over 30 with over 20 years gaming experience and gameplay is the essence of ALL great games not the graphics.
ok first of all Bill… shut up ok were comparing systems its an opinion not facts just because sombody likes ps3 doesn’t make them stupid ok i have all three systems because ps3 is just easier to handle for me i mean you dont have to pay any thing for online… (the rest of my “Opinions” are on the 2nd page) yeah the wii does just sit there but when people come over its awesome because we can all have fun and git up and move but solo play sucks cause it gets old and with nitendo graphics it gets pretty gay i mean the best wii has done so far is BRAWL. the 360 is a great system it has good graphics and alot of exclusives which is a plus but it breaks way to easy. the ps3 i havn’t had any problems with and i had it when it first came out infact i have 2 ps3 lol ones an 40 gig the other 80. but all in all it just depends on what your into so don’t critisize what other people think about what they have.
