Wii is all over the PS3 and Xbox360

Out of focus group loves Nintendo


NINTENDO'S Wii console has come out tops in a focus group review carried out by the Washington Post.

The Post played off the Wii against the PS3 with a totally unbiased group of a hack's mates. When we say focus group it was more of an all weekend party and therefore an out of focus group really.

Only a couple were video game experts and they wanted to get their paws on the PS3. However it turned out, much to everyone's surprise, that the Wii was the hit of the party.

Testers didn’t really like the Wii's graphics and they thought the games looked cheesy, particularly because they were playing on a 50-inch plasma telly.

However everyone was won over by the motion controller and while everyone liked to look at the PS3 games,they had more fun playing the Wii.

The PS3 controller frustrated all who tried to use it. A typical game required players to have memorised the buttons and know what they do. The Wii allowed people just to pick up the controller and play, the Post noted.

The hack who threw the party, and wrote up the results, felt however that the Xbox360 was better at getting online, where as the PS3 was pants to try to connect without a USB-compatible keyboard. Using the game controller to enter user information was as tedious as filling in a mortgage application on a mobile, he said.
