what's best for teenagers wii, xbox or ps3?

[Johnny Canuck3]

I want to buy one but haven't got a clue what's what. How do they compare in price and entertainment value? I've had a look at their specifications, but not being a gamer, it's all a bit confusing.

We have an xbox and a ps3. The thing I don't like about the xbox, is it whirrs like a piece of cheap junk. It's noisy. And I can't see how it's so superior to the ps3.

This might be a bit off topic but I don't see what is wrong with being a girl or playing so callled "girlie" games. Sorry, but I have been reading Kotaku today and a lot of people seem to have very patronizing attitudes to women or those who aren't hawdkore gamers. FFS does it really matter if a group of people doesn't like RPGs or first person shooters?

nothing wrong with being a girl, plenty of things wrong with playing 'girlie' games, namely they are generally shite after thoughts that are as patronising to female gamers as shite like Too Fast Too Furious is young male movie goers.

Wii games involve swinging your arms around like a loon and breaking light fittings, ime. At least the psbox3 means you can sit almost entirely still and get teenage obesity like all the cool kids.

What about things like Katamari and all those Super Mario franchises? Or are they non gender specific? But to be honest I don't like the whole attitude of selling to women is to coat something in pink and glitter.

Speaking of Katamari and off topic a bit, is there anything that anyone can recommend that is like? It's pretty much the only game I have gotten really obsessed with.

As a teenager I have to say the Xbox 360 , superior online gaming , graphics are the same as the PS3 amd it's relatively cheap. The Wii is a bundle of shit for small children and very old people that have been forced to play the damn thing.

it might just be the people i come into contact with but the majority of the (albeit tiny group) of women i've met who are keen on computer games have no time for games targeted at so called girly gamers and are really into FPS/RPG games... they find the cuddly stuff really fucking patronising. i would say it's no problem whether you like/dislike a particular type of game but i find group generalisations lazy and tedious.
