Because of Animal Crossing, Brawl, and Virtual Console (and hoping got kiddie game go to it ).

Now I planning to get a PS3 to supplement it.

cause got myr10 games???

REPORT madmoz!!

ironic init? the availability of myr10 games seems to be the main factor to determine a console's popularity on these shores.

also b4 it got cracked, the 360's ori market wasn't doing too badly. it is virtually dead nowadays.

and seeing that the 'pirates' also sell ori ps3 games (which must only mean that there IS a decent demand for them) it would appear that "most malaysians cannot afford ori games" should read "most malaysians prefer not to spend on ori games" instead.

>> don't think it has to do with that. ps3 is the most popular console on these shores actually. it is simply marketing. to malaysians, sony is a household name. nintendo is a kiddy name.

for people who choose not to spend on ori games there is the wii, and to a lesser extend, the 360.

i believe that was b4 online gaming come into play. at least for me, although wii hv that 'cheap' games, it doesn't appeal to me to stay with it for too long mainly coz i want to play online with my friends and wii does not give me more games to sooth that urge (of course there's some game there for online, but the games are really limited), hence i migrated to the PS3. i think the last wii games i played was medal of honor heroes 2 and nowadays, the feature that i looked for in most games that i want to buy is the online capabilities / supplies of dlc.

for parents that just wanna give their kids something to play, with cheap entry price, wii is the perfect choice...yes, most Msian non gamer parents don't care about ori or not. As long as can play, it's a good deal.

I bought for one game only. Super Mario Galaxy. After I've finished it, I sold my Wii as I think the graphic on ps3 is better to display at least 720p on my 32" LCD TV
Unless Wii is going to release at least 720p output, otherwise 480p looks like crap on big screen LCD TVs.
But SMG 2 quite tempting also. LOL

next time keep the wii

I am keeping it and totally collecting dust.... it been a year now... since i last played COD:WAW wii ver on it....

TIme pass fast huh? haha

haha same as mine...i'm only keeping it for my daughter. now also collecting dust beside the PS3.

Any website or source for comparisons among wii, ps3 and xbox?
I thinking of buying wii because my nephew and my parents can play along.
But thinking of the graphic quality, I worry it wont be nice, just like how my ps2 connect to my 37" LCD now.

just google "comparison wii ps3 360" and there will be about a dozen articles. but not many sites will justify your instinct. trust your instinct.

but from your requirements about your parents and nephew want to join in the fun, assuming they are new to gaming, then u can't go wrong with the wii.

the graphics is better then ps2 overall, somewhere between ps2 and ps3/360. for the same game that exist in ps2, the graphics is better. and this is even without component cables. remember u can further improve graphics to about 0.5HD with component cables

3 word :- Zelda , Metroid , Mario

choosing is hard..
thats y i buy both wii n ps3..

now i can concentrate my wii on dancing mat game, FPS, sports, n so on, that cant be done at ps3

Thanks for the reply. Personally, I play game such as football, wrestling, rpg and action based. Currently on my ps2.
Thinking of upgrade to Wii. But it'll be different style of controlling.
Wonder do I still able to enjoy those game with Wii?
Also thought of more interaction with family and friends if I buy Wii, rather than ps3.
Still considering..

hehe, i was in your shoes before i bought my wii. i was a graphic whore too because during my childhood i play fps on the pc, so the choice was really though. but i thought playing fps on analog stick is a step backwards from the mouse. and there is this 'family' factor that is forcing me not to choose ps3, so i chose wii. i don't regret, but i sure do miss HD graphics. but i do enjoy fps on the wii tremendously, even if its not 'in' to play fps on the wii. ps3 is stilll under consideration, just that i can't find a compelling reason other then there are games in ps3 that i can't find in pc. but the damn analog stick i hate......

which do u think is better? fps using joystick or using "wand"?
wii has house of the dead overkill (made it to the guiness book of records for the game with the most amount of f***S being mentioned)

it has deadspace extraction

MONSTER HUNTER TRI (supposedly freetoplay online for US edition- god knows when thats coming out)

Fatal Frame 4 (unofficial english patch coming out)

one factor that made me choose wii over ps3 is what games do i want to play on the consoles. people keep saying, ps3 graphics are waaaaaaaaaay better than wii. i strongly agree. but at the same time PC graphics are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than ps3. i have a gaming pc.

the only ps3 games i would want to play :

streetfighter 4 (got pc version- pc version loading between fights is almost non existant)

resident evil 5 (also got pc version- ps3 can f***off and die)

now the only ps3 game i would want to play is god of war 3.

Great hearing feedbacks.

Thinking of getting a Wii for my 3 boys (10-15 years) who have been playing PS2. Would they like Wii games as they got used to PS2? Or would I be selling them later othewise collecting dust?

What's your opinion?

Not only for children
The Wii can be universal genre of age.
From a child who know what he/she is doing upto grandparents genre
I guess u just need to Teach them how to play by basic.

Wiimotes = Hold it , Tilt it , Swing it , Shake it.
Wii balance board = Stand on it , Move ur body.

Simple Yet Promising.

remember u r hearing this from a wii fan, but not a blind wii fan.

nintendo nail it by making it the best family console ever. ps3/360 can't beat that family appeal. just imagine playing modern warfare 2 with your kids? u kidding right. but playing wii sport resort with your kids is really a great memorable time with them. so if u have a family, u can't go wrong i promise u. in fact i bet the reason u still thinking of a ps3/360 is because of yourself. u want it for yourself. but thinking of the family u know the wii is more appropriate.
