I seldom play online games (or should I say never tongue.gif ) due to time constrain. So which console meets my needs? Please name it.
TQ

I'll humour you and answer your question. Which I really shouldn't because its usually not the good way to start by calling the people who owns the 360 and play it on Live as online freaks.

XBOX 360 has good games with great single player playability. If you are more inclined at looking at pretty graphics, the 360 is ideal.

If you like to have a whole lot of family fun, the Wii is more ideal.

It's all about the games. Bare in mind some games are exclusive to each console. As Zio said you don't have to be on Live to enjoy the 360 but hey you don't have to spend long on the console for Live.

Suggest you look at the titles in the market and see which you prefer. In fact go and test it out at Djinn's in Cineleisure.

I'd say if you are a more serious gamer, go for the 360. If you are a more casual one, go for the Wii.

Since those are the games you play, go for the 360.

I envision the Wii to have more party games.

No lah. Serious Gamer play all. biggrin.gif

Tell you what kid... Get Xbox 360. Game Library banyak. Live is one of the factor. But not all play 360 for On-Line experience.
