Salam all,

Can anyone please explain the difference between Wii, PS and XBox. Which one of them is the best one to buy in terms of fun, ease of use, availability of games and all.

I am totally new to this world of gaming and just want to explore and inshAllah buy something that both hubby and I can enjoy.

Thanks for all your help

Depends what games you enjoy?

For hardocre gaming fans, i would go with the PS3, since it's new, not many games are available atm, slowly coming out though and good titles.
The xbox and ps3 are in the same boat, xbox on the other has more titles.. graphics wise both are equal - can't really tell the difference

the wii is for the fun gamer, you will definitely have more interaction! esp. playing with your husband, it's a system to have. there are many fun games available, and extremely easy to use. i was in your shoes, id go with the wii

Now how does the Wii Fit fit into the Wii world is it completely different from the wii (as I type this I see how ignorant I really am abt this thing) I really like Wii Fit (it would help with the excuses I make) but don't want only fitness activities, hubby wants games like maybe wrestling, soccer, even cricket maybe

Wii Fit fits into the WII world

I have not tried many games on it, just the ones that come with it, soccer, golf..etc these types. Don't know when they will come out with cricket. You can even keep your remote in your pocket and run and it will sense it. Pretty impressive! Great tool to get those exercises done while having fun.

Ok so now I understand (google zindabad), cricketplaya pls correct me if I am wrong

Wii is the game console and Wii Fit is one of the games (with options of aerobics, strength training and all) am I right ?

Wii Fit if you google you will see image,, is a separate component that you attach to your Wii to be able to play those aerobic games...

I got PS3 and Wii.

Wii is really a great fun to play. It just lacks some hardcore games and the online service is compared to XBOX and PS3 messed up.

PS3 and Wii both got free online service, XBOX is pay 2 play.

Wii is a good choice if u r new to gaming cause Nintendo is the father of all gaming. Try Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros and for most Zelda.

I really liked the sports games it came with, any other suggestions for those kind of games only ones I was able to find were the winter games but I want some summer games... the deca sports game was poorly rated so I think I am not going to buy that but pls do let me know if there any nice ones out there. and yes inshAllah we are planning on buy Wii Fit ... inshAllah as soon as it is in stock

I dont have any sports game beside it. Mario and Sonic at the olympic games should be a descent sports game from what i heared.
