Suggestion:
Personally I prefer the PS3, because of free online play on FPS, but that's not what you are asking for…
Yes, there is internet on the Nintendo Wii, who said there wasn't? :S
The Wii has less quality graphics compared to the Xbox 360 BIG TIME! But graphics isn't the main thing you want, since I think you want a family console.
But the thing I see now, is that if you are a mother and you have sons, they would prefer the Xbox way more than the Nintendo Wii, depending on on who they are. Meaning I wanted to get the Wii to play Zelda, because Zelda is one of my all-time favorite franchise, but still you would ask them.
Daughters would prefer the Wii, but still depending on who they are, it might be vice versa!
Wii, from what I experienced in my family, is much more a family fun console so much more than the Xbox… But now Wii games are getting worse and worse, since the big franchise are in the process of making new games, but still you didn't got the Wii, so there is a lot of good/great older games it collects. the bad thing about the Xbox, is for online play/internnet, you would need Xbox LIVE, which is a *********! & the reason I stopped playing Xbox and sold it. It started off with $20, still a bloody a lot, but now it went from $20 to $50 to $60… So yeah screw $60 a month!
But it is all up to you and you yourself to make the choice of what to buy!
Don't let anyone bully you down into forcing to choose one, by them jesting saying that one console sucks and the other one rules, no! That's not how it works, they're both are great, just you have to make the choice from the facts you know, and the facts up here in my answer or the facts you would do research from.

Well you have to actually buy something for the xbox that allows it to go online- which is stupid. PS3 has it built in. I don't really back either the wii or the xbox,- but unless you're into actual gaming (which I'm guessing you aren't) I would go with the wii– I think the new ones do get online, but I could be mistaken.
those are opposites. the xbox is for hardcore single-player online gaming. the ps3 is for hardcore single-player campaign gaming and sports games, and the wii is for families. Get the Wii, you won't regret it
Both are very good fun. But it's up to you to research and review.
You are the one who holds the answer's key, you see: because
you should get whichever one you think would be better for a…
