Nintendo makes me go, "Wii!"

Judging from the recently held E3, an annual game exhibition, the Nintendo Wii suddenly seems to be a more attractive console purchase than Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PS3. With games like Super Mario Galaxy (image to the left), Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Red Steel, Metriod Prime 3:Corruption, Wii Sports and many more, Nintendo has all the right ingredients. These games have the ability to make anyone drool. Do not forget about the Wii's innovative controller, which will most probably change the way games are played. Yes, you can use it as a sword, you can use it as a tennis racket, and even as a operating instrument in a New Trauma Center game, where gamers play as a virtual surgeon. Instead of focusing on the hardware like what Sony did with the PS3, Nintendo betted heavily on the software, which is essentially the games. Even if the hardware is good, but if there is no good software, a console still will not survive. Sony PS3's is just too expensive at US$599 for the better version. How can a teenager like me afford it!?! Sure, the PS3 console has hardware excellence (the best of the 3 nect-gen consoles) but the price? PS3 games also do not seem to turn me on too. However, Nintendo has missed out on one important thing: The Wii cannot play higher-end games like those on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Too Human? Gears of War? Halo 3? Unheard of for the Wii, so to get the best thing, I suggest that you get both the Wii and Xbox 360. PS3? If you have the money, go ahead, but for a teen like me, I will try to get PS4 when I grow up (That's when I start earning money!). No PS3 for now; it's too expensive. Xbox 360 and I will consider the Wii when it arrives.
