The xbox can connect to your windows computer to access music, photos, msn, videos, avatars and frequent live updates. Best for online gaming. Best controllers around. Is the only console to have a mmo. Halo. Excellent interface. Xbox is cheaper. You can purchase old xbox games on the market place. Gives up to date news on the games industry. You can rent films. Has a much more active and nicer online community. Had to make a slim line and make it cheaper to get more people to buy the ps3. wii has the worst graphics possible in a next gen games console and you grow out of it quickly.
