https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/Can-anyone-help-with-Wii-vs-Xbox-Kinect/m-p/2156#M52 <P>I am fairly 'techie' in some areas - but definitely NOT where gaming is concerned. I am trying to decide between purchasing the Wii versus the Xbox kinect package. It would be nice to say this is for a child at Christmas, but no, it's for me. <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://community.qvc.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /> I've wanted the Wii fitness stuff since last year but never got it. Now xbox has come out with the kinect, so I'm not sure which to buy. From what I can tell, the kinect uses no handheld controllers which I think would be nice for some sports stuff, but not so great for others (like tennis or golf where I think you'd like to have something in your hand to simulate the game IRL.) From what I can tell, the graphics are better/less cartoonish in xbox systems vs. wii, which appeals to me. Also, I think you can use the xbox as a dvd/blueray player and it can go online and the wii cannot. (I think?) I also know that the wii has more sports/fitness games at this point versus the xbox. I'd really only be using this for sports/fitness stuff and not other 'gaming.' </P> <P>Can anyone comment or suggest one over the other that might help me to decide between the two?</P> Sat, 11 Dec 2010 15:52:54 GMT Qmonkey 2010-12-11T15:52:54Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/Can-anyone-help-with-Wii-vs-Xbox-Kinect/m-p/2156#M52 <P>I am fairly 'techie' in some areas - but definitely NOT where gaming is concerned.
