Conclusion: Well, what do you think?

3. You'd be a fool if you didn't recognize payoffs in this video game journalism industry.

They both only have one good game, both software launches sucked as they always do. That considered, you have to judge the consoles based on hardware, otherwise the argument remains "is Resistance better than Zelda?"

Of course you don't agree with IGN because you all bought Wiis and are enjoying them a great deal, but other than a different control method, the PS3 is superior in terms of hardware specs and capabilities.

If the contest was "which console is more fun?" the results might be different, but that would be entirely subjective, and so a judgement is made based on what both consoles have to offer, and currently the PS3 is technically the more complete package.

I disagree. Wii sports on it's own is amazing and everybody that got to make their Miis and play Wii sports were all very amused. Gamers and non gamers alike.

The Wii is hot stuff right now.

The wii is doing an incredible job captivating the non-gamers. At my dorm we had people who never game all crowding in the lounge to look at the Wii. As far as development goes, the wii might hit a dry spell in a year or two when third parties need to fall back on the PS3 and 360s graphics. Of course, Nintendo always has had strong first party support.

In terms of launch, the Wii had a better launch. But hey, IGN is IGN, a website that has way to much flash and huzzah that I stopped reading years ago.
