These are my top 5 comparisons between PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii. Hope they’re useful!

1. Motion Sensoring:
   Obviously the Wii will come out on top here because of its almost perfect controller that follows your moves well. The PS3 has some motion sensoring in its controller, which is quite limited, but it’s still a great feature and enables some extra edge in the interactivity. The Xbox 360 unfortunately has no motion sensoring, which is quite disappointing.
2. Memory Size:
   The Xbox 360 Elite comes out on top here having a massive 120 GB hard drive allowing massive amounts of downloads and demos. The PS3 is second here with its largest available memory being 60 GB; this is still large but not massive. And the Wii, the smallest in memory, has memory cards that are 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB. The Xbox 360 Elite 120 GB hard drive is 2.6 times the cost of the 4 GB Wii memory card, but it has 30 times the memory.
3. Graphics:
   I agree with people who say PS3 is superior in this area, but not by much. The Xbox has good graphics but not as defining as the PS3. The Wii is very low in this category; a lot of its graphics, like with Wii Sports, have very pixelated graphics. But some games, like Mario Galaxy, have very smooth lines making the graphics look good, though not in a real kinda way.
4. Games:
   The quantity of games available to a console is a major factor. Xbox 360 easily has the most amount of games for being out longer than either of the other two consoles, yet compared with each other at the beginning when they all came out Xbox had the most, plus the 360 has a large variety of games from Halo 3 to Viva Pinata to Burnout Paradise. The PS3 also has some good games like Resistance: Fall of Man and Drake’s Fortune, but there is not a great variety with most games being shooters. The Wii has not as many games as either of the other two and having less shooters and more sort of innocent games like Carnival Funfair and Boogie.
5. Online:
   The Xbox 360 has the best online capabilities with relatively cheap options. PS3 hasn’t got the best online features but it’s free, so that makes up for the inferior setup. The Wii has very minor online features that don’t allow for large amounts of gamers to play one game together, but it’s still fun.
