I've already asked this question in the Wii forum but i wanna ask here aswell. Should i buy a Wii or DS? (Ive got a 360 and still play my 64 at home) Im not sure what will be better. Ive played DS and liked it but i havent played Wii yet. You'd think i'd get the DS coz ive already got 2 consoles at home but im still not sure plz help me out!

If you want a Wii, I suggest waiting for some more games to come out before you get it. So if you need a new system right now, I would have to recommend the DS, since the library for it is huge.

I think you need to ask yourself do you need another console or a new handheld gaming device?

If you posted this question already in the Wii forums what did everyone say? Get a Wii. So if you post this question here what do you think people will say?

Both are great machines but I think the DS is a bit more established. The Wii has potential but it needs a bit more time to show what it's truely able to do.

I'd say the DS, like the previous poster said, it's established. There are lots of good/great games for the DS. Speaking for myself I'd say the Wii got like 2 games I would get... Zelda twilight princess and Zelda Ocarina of time(virtual console), and that's not reason enough to buy a console.

Buy a DS now and buy a wii next year when there are more titles out...

As the previous poster hinted at : they are two completely different consoles, geared at different consumers.  Personally, I'd go for the DS, since it's been out longer and had time to build up a decent amount of games in its humongous library today.

 

The Wii is still an infant : give it time to grow up its repertoire of games before giving it a go.  The XBox360 already has a good lineup of games now (and in the future) to be played at home, the Wii can wait until then.   As for handhelds, the DS wins hands down.  You can never go wrong with purchasing the DS first, whereas the Wii...well...as I've said, you already got a next gen console : can't you wait just a little longer? lol.

I'd recommend getting a DS, if your on the go all the time and you don't have that many hardheld systems. But if you want another console to play games on, then get the Wii.

i'd get the wii. but that's just me. everybody else says "wait until it has more good games on it," but there's already a large amount of good games on it, and there are more coming out in the future. i already own Raving Rabbids, Excite Truck, Zelda, The Godfather, Super Swing Golf and Metal Slug and i like all of them a lot, not to mention Wii sports. there are even more good titles out or coming out soon, like Super Paper Mario, Super Smash, Mario Galaxy, Heatseeker and Manhunt 2. plus i find the Wii's more family-oriented games to be a nice counter to my adult-oriented 360 games.

Definetely get both, but if you can only get one, get the DS for now, it has more good games for it since it has been out longer, and if you are ever on a long road trip, the DS is a great way to entertain yourself while sitting in the vehicle, then later on go get the Wii.

The wii doesn't have much out right now so I'd say the DS first if you plan on getting both eventually.

(I've got both, but...) Save money and buy a PS3 or a good PC (or an Xbox 360), i'm sorry people, i'm an early teenager and all the games seem to childish for me in the nds (except Phoenix Wright, which rocks), and to few for the wii. Even so, if I should choose, get a nds, because why get a wii if the ps3 does the same, and much better?

Id actually suggest the ds since you have a 360, the wii is more like a fun-nonserouis game console right now, the DS has fun little games and serouis sweet games and its very sweet to have something to play for 30min or 12 hours :P and wifi works great and theres endless amount of awesome games, me and my sister have a wii and a ds and we like the ds better ATM, the wii will have some great games coming out but by the time the awesome awesome games come out you will probably have the money, all in all the DS is better for you becuase you have a 360! :D hope that helps
