Which is Better - Xbox Kinect or Wii




Forget about wii already. Hello Xbox Kinect! 
Ultimately, it all depends on who the games are for, and who is going to be using the console more often. Technology wise, there is only one winner in the Xbox 360 Kinect vs Wii shootout and that is the Kinect, thanks to its revolutionary new gameplay. So, if you are someone who is heavily into video games and new technology, you will absolutely love the Kinect. On the other hand, if you are getting the console for your kids, or for your parents/grandparents, the Wii is the way to go since the nature and the diversity of the Wii games on offer is much better. These are great to play at family meetings, and not much physical movement is required. The Kinect requires at least 6 feet of space all around the radius of the console itself for perfect synchronization.

A disadvantage of the Wii is that once the rush of the games wears off, there is not much that can be done with the console. The Kinect is only useful for playing Kinect games so far, but pretty soon newer games and advanced features will also be added. Moreover, you can also surf the web and use the Xbox 360 console as a media library. This is one area that the Wii needs to be upgraded on immediately. When you compare the Xbox 360 Kinect vs Wii, this factor plays a major role. But the Wii is certainly much more economical to set up and maintain.
