Which system do you think is most immersive???

Wii:
Wii-mote (Its fun, just swing your arms around and it works!!)

Wii-board (Teh freakin piece of plastic that tells you your overweight (poor Reggie....))

360:
Live (Online...)

Vision Camera (For.....well........online)

DolbyDigital 5.1 (Sound makes immersion)

PS3:

Motion control (Copy of Wii-mote, on a much less extreme basis)

PS Eye (Unlike the vision camera, this is used for games more often than not)

DolbyDigital 7.1 (Better than 5.1, but who actually owns this.....no one i know!!! :P)

I would personally say the Wii, then PS3, and 360 last. Thoughts??

I think no matter what anyone says, you're going to hate on the 360. And I think I'm right.

PC > Wii > 360/PS3.

Anti-Flame Disclaimer - Heavily depends on the PC quality/setup.

I'm puzzled as to why you left out the digital surround sound capabilities of the 360 and PS3? A matrix of sound and effects around you in a game is definitely an immersive experience, especially when you can hear and almost feel bullets wizzing by your head or hear the footsteps of an enemy behind you in a shooter.

What means this?!?!?!?? I am going to be getting a 360.....not a Wii. I will never get a Wii. I like the 360 for many reasons. Do i need to state all of these reasons before i say one bad thing about the 360??? Come on give me a break man, this gen is going to be all about PS360 for me. Besides, i don't think immersion makes or breaks a system. The last gen didn't have as much immersion as the 360, and i liked it just fine. So please, stop saying i hate the 360, because i don't.. :|

Ain't that the truth. I've seen some setups for Microsoft Flight Simulator that is more immersive than the 360, PS3, or Wii could ever hope to be.

A game doesn't need any fancy gimmicks to be immersive, get into a good game and the controller feels like an extension of yourself.

However it depends how you define ''immersion'', like how improved graphics and sound make for a richer experience definitely counts. Though its not always absolutely necessary.

If Killzone 2, the game described the most immersive game BBC had ever seen used the Wiimote, imagine how great the game would be. Anyway, I don't own a Wii or XBOX 360, but I would say the Wii takes first, PlayStation 3 second, XBOX 360 third.

Yeah flight sims are the only exception where you really need another device to make the most of it IMO (a joystick, not that amount of nonsense). Then maybe a mat for DDR.

Don't think anyone really ''needs'' to do such a thing. Its a bit obsessive.

I'd say the PS3 only because it can provide better sound and video quality. The "immersiveness" of a game is much more dependent on the gameplay and story than the control method or AV quality though, so this is like rating a car based on the colours available or the size of the key fob.
