There are three basic gaming consoles available in the market which includes the Wii, the PS2 and the Xbox. The Xbox 360 and the PS3 are also available; however, the Wii console is preferred over the previous versions of the PS2 and Xbox. These consoles are relatively cheaper than the newer ones and so many people are still buying these three. Often, it is a tough decision for people in buying one of these three consoles due to the similarity between them. However, the Wii is definitely worth buying if compared to its competitors and there are several reasons for this.

One of the biggest reasons is that the Wii is the pioneer of active gaming. Nintendo is the first company to bring this in the market and it was the sole reason why the console got famous. You can literally play tennis virtually and can play golf while getting the same feeling of playing a real game.

This was the reason why the PS3 and the 360 introduced their active gaming controllers. However, there are only a few games available for these competitors if compared with the Wii system. The reason is that the developers have not been able to focus on them as it is something new introduced by the companies. There is a huge collection of games available for the Wii which requires active gaming including virtual tennis; Wii sports resorts, deadly creatures and several other games. These games where specifically introduced for the Wii which is why the Wii should be selected over the two competitors.

Another reason is that everyone loves the Wii console. The PS2 and Xbox are regarded as ultimate gaming consoles with serious gaming competitions. However, the Wii is regarded as a casual console which is fun for everyone. You can literally see the number of people who have tried Wii in their lives and would like to purchase one. The reason is that it is loved by everyone due to its fun and active game play. It is not one of those consoles where you spend hours and hours every day to end a level. It is a game for multi-players where you can have fun while playing and can play the games virtually. Tennis is one of these games and almost everyone is willing to play a match as compared to the serious gaming scene in PS3 games such as Call of duty.

Other reasons might be that it is a family friendly system and it benefits the entire family. From your dad to your mom, almost everyone is going to enjoy the active game play of Wii.
