They say in terms of graphics, Wii is as powerful as the original Xbox. So got me thinking which console is better?

soooooo not really because you have to play with motion controllers which is worse than traditional controllers to most people here on the boards.

In terms of hardware, the Wii. Just better overall, I think the Xbox had some awesome games, but the Wii has two Zelda games and Mario Galaxy 2. The Wii can also play Gamecube games, which is awesome. The GCN had some incredible games.

You play GCN games with a GCN pad.

When you play Gamecube games you plug in a Gamecube controller.

No, just better games. I don't need a game to be exclusive to enjoy it.

the original xbox didn't seem like that great of a console to me other than Halo 1, Halo 2, and Fable. The hardware had all kinds of problems and M$ ended the life cycle early.

Wii has had some great 1st part games and has had a lot of fun games to play with friends and family. I would say Wii by a wide margin.

Beats the XBox's original controller.

Most multiplats were shared but the GCN had a superior exclusive lineup.

In terms of hardware the Wii, in terms of the better looking games I'd still say Xbox.

Wii. Better looking games and a lot more worth playing. Only thing I can think of worth playing on Xbox 1 is Conker and NG Black.

Wii, only because most Xbox games were already playable on my PC. Morrowind, Fable, and later on Halo etc.

Biased comparison ftw.

I am not taking sides here but I know the XBOX has better looking games than those.

I played my original Xbox a lot more than my Wii, so I'll go with the Xbox.

I wouldn't say so. I have yet to play a Gamecube game which has given me as much enjoyment and replay value as Phantom Dust, Steel Battalion, Otogi 1 & 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, and (even though it's on PS3 now as Sigma) Ninja Gaiden Black.

That said, no Xbox game has given me the adrenaline rush and sheer enjoyment factor of Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, nor had any games jaw-dropping 2D visuals like Muramasa: The Demon Blade, nor 1:1 swordfighting like Red Steel 2, nor a journey as bizarre and hilarious as No More Heroes, nor anything as awe-inspiring and clever as Lost in Shadow. I could go on, but you catch my drift. Though, Phantom Dust was incredibly fun on versus mode, and definitely has my vote for the best multiplayer game on the original Xbox, for the record. 8)

They shouldn't be though. GameCube was already on-par with the first Xbox while Wii has a lot more processing and shading power.
