The Wii60 experience: Unbeatable?

Maybe most of you didn’t notice, but we ran a poll on our Xbox 360 blog which poses this question – Will your Xbox 360 be playing with a Wii? The results are somewhat surprising – 55% said yes they go hand in hand, 25% are still undecided and needs to check out the Wii more, and 20% said that the combination is unnatural. To those who belong to the Wii60 believers, you may have found an ally in ITWire’s Mike Bantick.

In his report, he mentions that now Sony is up against two competing consoles wherein one “could boast a year’s head start on high definition gaming…backed up with new value packs and the addition of the HD-DVD drive“; while the other has “a unique play mechanism that is quite simply fun”. Of course, Bantick is talking about the X360 and the Wii, respectively.

If you think that the guy is simply a PS3 basher, well, he doesn’t sound like one. He even went out of his way to name the things he likes about the big black box. But amidst all of the PS3’s technological advancements, here’s his two-cents-worth on it:

I believe the PS3 is a superb piece of technology (not here commercially in Australia until March 2007), yet I find it hard to believe it could replace the smiles I saw on the faces of my family over these recent holidays.

Yeah, well, you can’t blame the guy for being emotional there because heck, the holidays’ still in full swing. He then went on about how charming his daughter is while she was playing Wii Sports and how his Papa who’s afflicted with Parkinson’s played Wii Tennis.

So what do you think? Would you change your answer to our poll or will you stay firm with your choice?
