Playtesters: Wii to win console wars
MSNBC invited a couple of playtesters to check out all the different next-gen consoles in order to find out which one they liked most and the winner was... Nintendo's Wii
Of course, with only six playtesters this doesn't really give an accurate view :)
But for a sneak peak at how the console wars may unfold, we invited a group of six gamers — hardcore and casual players, adults and children — to spend some time with us, the Wii and the PS3.
After plowing through several hours of gaming and many boxes of pizza, the resounding favorite of our playtest was …drumroll please…the Wii.

Ofcourse the Wii is going to come out on top in a situation like that, how fun is it for anyone to just stand there and watch someone else play a game with a joypad, you got someone waving their arms about your going to find that more entertaining and want a go.
I remember the morning my mate got Samba de Amigo on the Dreamcast and we played it and thought it was ok but when i went round there the next night with another mate and he had a load of friends there we had an absolute blast with it.

You need to get all three consoles doing what they do best for a fair fight.
They should of had 8 X360's hooked up together running GOW mutlipayer.
Wii with a group of people playing Wii sports which seems to look like the most fun with friends.
PS3 with multiplayer Resistance as this seems to be from what ive read a great experience although the game doesnt look all that to me.
Then it would of been a fair comparison.

Show casing their "best game" doesn't really pit the consoles versus each other but the games.

COD3 on PS3 against the X360 version, from what i've read the X360 version would win, all the reviews i've seen of COD3 on PS3 say it has slowdown and its been marked lower on PS3 by every review i've seen.
As it goes every game thats on both PS3 and X360 has scored lower on PS3.
Considering the graphical weakness of Wii, it would'nt be fair to run the same game on Wii thats running on either X360 or PS3 next to it.
Besides Wii plays totaly different and is aimed at different taste's.

also xbox 360 has some titles that are better then many titles, namely halo series and possibly GOW nintendo hasn't had games that compete with the 360 and wii, and the ps3 is really expensive.
