In recent years, the so-called console war between Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo was probably at its fiercest level because of the launching of the original Xbox. Of course, it was designed to compete head-on with the Sony Playstation 3 popularity and the emerging consumer awareness for Nintendo's GameCube. With the launching of the Xbox successor - the Xbox 360 - the console war just reached new levels of competitiveness although it must be said that Xbox won the war for about a year after its release.
Of course, Sony and Nintendo will not take this lying down and they both released their seventh generation gaming consoles - the Playstation 3 and Wii, respectively. This time, gamers have a more difficult time choosing between the three models since each console has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. To make things easier here is a comparison between Xbox 360 and its two competitors in terms of titles, graphics and controller.
For the titles available, Xbox 360 wins hands down when it comes to the quantity of games available, with approximately a thousand choices. In fact, Xbox 360 has the most number of exclusive titles although the Playstation 3 offers more exclusive franchises. Plus, the Xbox 360 still has an edge over Playstation 3 in terms of the highest number of titles with positive ratings. Customers and critics alike even point that the adventure fighting games in Playstation 3 are very similar to those in Xbox 360.
The Wii advantage in the title battle is its orientation towards gaming entertainment for the whole family. There is less murder, mayhem and violence with Wii games than one would usually find in Xbox 360. Plus, the Wii often have a few similar gaming titles with the Xbox 360, thus, the battle must be won in another field.
For quality of graphics, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have very close competition that a draw must be declared. Some quarters, however, will insist that the Playstation 3 possesses more intense visual and audio components than Xbox 360 but it will depend on what your definition of good graphics is.
The Wii, unfortunately, cannot compete with either the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 on the graphics front. The Nintendo-manufactured gaming console does not appear to focus on this area for some reason or another. Thus, if you want excellent graphics with outstanding audio, then either the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3 is the ideal choice. Take note, too, that Playstation 4 offers Blu-ray support, an advantage over the Xbox 360.
For the quality of the controls, the Wii has a very good fighting chance with its motion controller that mimics the movement of the user sand buttons to push and bats to swing. However, it can be at a disadvantage with the Xbox 360 because of the greater availability of options with either a wireless or wired controller.
In the end, the Xbox 360 is more versatile, and even now, years after its initial release, it continues to be the leading game console in the industry. However, this doesn't mean the war is over. Far from it. It's beginning all over again with eighth generation consoles already on the way. But, for now, the Xbox 360 rules the field, and will continue to be a strong contender. - 29872
