Which video game console is right for your home? That can be a tough question. The current consoles are the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Each has compelling features.

Consider the people who will use the console. Hardcore gamers will be interested in speed and powerful graphics. They’ll want a high-end system. More casual players will be less concerned with hardware.

In the end, the games sell the console. Some high-profile titles are exclusive to a single system. Others may play differently on separate consoles. Figure out what you like to play. Then choose the console that's the best fit for you.

Wii

The Wii has been a hot seller since its release. Its innovative controls and focus on casual gaming have attracted millions. It’s even attracted many non-gamers. It’s probably the most family-friendly console.

The Wii's great appeal is in its unique controller. It looks like a remote control, and features a gyroscopic motion sensor.
