Xbox 360 Powers Video Gaming

By Bernard W. Oakford

So let's start at the top by going straight to the bottom - the bottom line, that is, the assumption being that price is the main deciding factor behind any purchase since if price were no object at all then all three systems could be easily purchased and enjoyed. And the first thing to know about gaming console prices is that the Playstation 3 is the most expensive one of all, though it does boast of more features overall than its rivals. However, the Xbox 360 and the Wii do offer unique features all their own.

The second factor to consider is the hardware. Once again, the Playstation 3 stands out, this time for having the fastest processor of all. However, the Xbox 360 and the Wii are no slouches, either, and if the Xbox 360 is beaten in this department, it's not by much.

Besides, sheer computational strength does not necessarily mean better software - which is to say, fun games. In fact, the platform with the weakest processor of the bunch, Nintendo's Wii, is by far the runaway bestseller of them all, with gameplay that has so captured the popular imagination that it wasn't until over two years after its market debut that Wiis could even be found for sale!

Besides, sheer computational strength does not always make for better software - which is to say, fun games. In fact, the system with the slowest processor of the bunch, Nintendo's Wii, is by far the runaway bestseller of them all, with gameplay that has so captured the popular imagination that it wasn't until over two years after its market introduction that Wii consoles could be easily found for sale!

However, Microsoft's Xbox 360 platform also provides much richer online gameplay, with interesting non-gaming services to boot. Nintendo's online offerings are also notable, but it is rightly most famous for the revolutionary user interface utilizing actual human kinetics to direct character actions onscreen.
