which game console is best?

[OhWhatNoooow]

We are looking to buy a game console thingy (I have no clue..)

Whats better and whats the difference between a Wii, playstation, XBox and anything else you can think of?

Xbox is for more serious gaming, better for teens. Also has the new kinnect thingy which looks good.

Wii is good for all the family and younger kids prob up to about age 12. But after 12 I think especially if you have boys they'd probably want an x box.

depends on the age of the child. Mine are 5 and 8 and play the Wii a lot. We also have an xbox (with kinect) but they dont use it as much and dh has a PS3 that he plays on
