There are three major video game consoles in the market today and these are Microsoft’s Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii. There are several points wherein these three game consoles differ. Among the three, Wii is the smallest and the lightest. It also is the cheapest among the three, and is one of the reasons why it outsells the other two platforms worldwide.

In terms of processing power, many believe the PlayStation 3 is the clear winner, since it uses Cell architecture. Xbox 360′s processor uses a 3.2 GHz PowerPC tri-core while Nintendo Wii comes with a Broadway chip which runs at 729 MHz only.

Sony’s console also has the edge in terms of graphics and audio, but many gamers believe that the Xbox 360 makes better use of its resources that PlayStation. Both systems are HDTV-capable and can support Dolby Surround, while Wii can only support EDTV format and stereo surround.

What Wii lacks in processing speed, graphics, and audio, it makes up by offering very interactive and fun games that appeal to hardcore and casual gamers, non-gamers, and lapsed gamers. Wii also became popular because of the new way of interacting with the game provided by the same console. Wii Sports and Mario Kart on Wii are two of the best-selling items on the Nintendo platform. The most sough-after video game franchises are Gran Turismo for PlayStation 3 and Halo 3 for Xbox 360.
