Question xbox or wii?

I've been saving up some money to buy a new game console; though im not sure what I should do. Should I get an xbox 360 so i can play RE5? Or should I get a wii so i can play umbrella chronicles and the darkside chronicles?

tell me what you think...

X-box 360 has better games in general, but in terms of Resident Evil, the Wii is better: you can play REmake, RE0, RE4, REUC and REDC, while you only have RE5 in 360.

Capcom Brings MT Framework to Wii

Japan's Nikkei Industrial daily reported today that Capcom is bringing to Wii its multiplatform engine normally used for PS3 and Xbox 360 games.
It hasn’t mentioned in this press release if the engine is called MT Framework, but ehi, it can't be enything else!
What does this mean? Not only every future 360/PS3 title using the MT Framework engine will be released for Wii too, but maybe we'll see some of past Capcom's HD titles like Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 ported to Wii.
Resident Evil 5 Wii Edition is possible, the question is now, when? Capcom?!

Depends on if you really want to just play RE games then go with the wii. If you want a system that has quality games with amped up graphics then go with the 360.

I have both the wii and 360 as i was lucky enough to get the wii for free with the new computer my dad bought, so i could buy the 360 without dreading about what to choose.

Overall, i'm happier with the 360, generally because it has better graphics than the wii, more games, and i just prefer a controller over the motion sensor wiimote.

This is a little hard for me to choose, but for the most part if you want to see what happens next in the series, have an online experience, play more mercs, play against people in versus, and you want to find out what happened to Jill or if you already did, but want to play as her then you should get an Xbox 360.

If you want an arcade shooter, with co-op, same but different story, and find out what happened before some of events or wanted to know how something happened then you should get a Wii.

That's a tough one. You should take a look at the other games that are/will be available on the consoles, then make your decision on which has more games that you would play.

Another vote for the 360 from me. You can get an Elite for fairly cheap nowadays and I prefer the 360's games library over the Wii.

Hmmm....

You should get a Wii. As Bruno said you can play alot more RE games on the Wii than on the 360. The Wii has pretty good graphics ( in my opinion) and it's alot more fun to play other games on it besides RE cuz you don't have to just click buttons all day but move the Wii remote.

Im kind of leaning toward the wii. I want it for the RE games; and like discussed, the wii has more RE games. Plus, id really like to check out darkside chronicles.

Well, in my opinion, the 360 is an all-around better system. I guess if all you are going to do is play RE games with it, then a Wii would be fine. However, if you are willing to shell out an extra hundred bucks for an Elite, you would get a lot more out of your system (more games +exclusives, better graphics, better specs, HD compatible, respectable online service.)

Maybe I'm just jaded because the Wii was a huge letdown, and has been nothing more than another console for Nintendo to shoot Mario games at light speed out of it's *** on.
