<p style="text-align: justify;">The Xbox 360, Wii and Playstation 3 differences may be hard to sort out but they have all their advantages and disadvantages and the technical specs of one console may not appeal to another individual. It all boils down to the needs of the user, what kind of games does he/she want to play, price and a lot more. Sony PS3 is definitely the most expensive among the 3 popular consoles. Though the company is hoping that with the inclusion of Blu-ray DVD drive and processor, consumers will not mind paying the hefty price.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, because of its name, it appealed to a lot of people and I&#8217;m talking about Nintendo Wii. It&#8217;s name may seem like a child&#8217;s kind of game but there is more to it than its name. Its solid games line-up and flawless control system made the Wii gaming experience even more exciting combined with its Wii accessories. This consoles aims to let the player feel like they are playing the game. When it comes to price, this is the cheapest.</p>
<p>Last but definitely not the least, Xbox 360 was the first among the 3 to be released to the public. But even with its age there are still new upgrades and new plans for this baby. New games and features on Xbox Live! are being planned.</p>
