I'm planning to buy a new console. But stuck in choosing best console for adult and kids to play.
I think that Wii has more games that suitable for kids than PS3.
So, does PS3 also has games for kids play? or only Move games better for kids?
I want buy PS3 coz of GT5. But seems I'm not the only one playing (got small sister and brother, and few anak buah will play too), I have to consider any games that suitable for them too.
I bleed it out, Diggin' deeper just to throw it away!

depends on how deep is your pocket & how old is the kids
If pocket is deep enuf, go for the PS3 + Move package then, damage might be around RM1.8k++ with 2 move controllers & a game. But prepare for 2K to be safe PS3 games for kids also are limited
If budget concise, Wii wins hands down. Basic Wii package + 1 extra Wiimote won't cost you more than 1k. Game library for kids also wins hands down. Extra wiimote also cheaper than move, kids spoilt your controller also won't sakit hati that much
And last option, which I'm sure many will tell you to do is... Buy both PS3 for you to play GT5 & adult oriented games Wii for the kiddos Problem solved

Just like my plan... However, I think I will less using one of them if buy both since I'm more to computer gaming. In planning to buy the Move package, but only a few games for Kids at the moment.
Really a waste if I buy the package and not fully utilize it
I'm facing the same dilemma either ps3 or wii... great selection of games for ps3 but still want to play mario bros and the latest donkey kong I think I go for both...hehe
If you want games that have been around for a long time, the Wii. Considering the Move and Kinect are still in its infancy stage, you may want to hold your horses before getting them. or either of them.

PS3 tbh. There are definitely games out there for kids. Just because the Wiimote is more "family friendly" than the PS3 controller doesn't mean that you'll necessarily have more fun. Imo unless they're asking for the Wii, I'd suggest go get your PS3, then you can get Little Big Planet and Ratchet and Clank while you get Gran Turismo 5.
There will always be kids games on any console you get, don't worry.

But there's a clear winner on quality and quantity for family orientated games. Of course if GT is the game you can't live without then go for PS3

I only like Halo game if want to choose Xbox.
Is there any difference between Wii Motion, PS3 Move and Xbox Kinect style?
From what I see, Move and Kinect use the idea from Wii Motion, am I right?
In terms of reliability and excitement, which one better?
Kinect rocks. No dildos. No worry about controller dead batteries. It's a total technology shift. Nothing like Wii or Move.
I can't get enough of my Kinect Sports...and my wife loves the Dance Central game (no dildo, true dancing, with arms, legs and even head bumping!) and my 5 yrs old son loves all the jumping and running games.
And why buy XBOX for Halo? Halo is overated junk. There are so many better games.

Gotta agree with you dude. Dance Central is really fun (Though waiting for PS3's Counterpart to react faster).
And yes, GEARS OF WAR!!!

Seem like most of u guys suggest PS3
Actually, I choose PS3 not because of GT5 only. There are many PS3 games that I want to try too. And I like the PS3 graphic compare to Wii or Xbox360.
Yes, I agree that Wii more "family friendly". But somehow I hope that Move will come out with more family games.
I more to PS3 now
Or should I buy both?
Buy within your means. If you can afford the PS3 first, go with that. After that, listen to your family and what they want to play.
