I don't think xbox and wii can really be compared. The xbox is for more "serious" gamers, whereas the wii is something you get for your kids or to have a laugh with mates on.

The Price – The Wii with a market price of $250 is the least expensive, while the Xbox 360 offers a lower-end model costing around $300 and a more expensive mainstream model at about $400. The difference of roughly $150 between both the Xbox 360 and Wii mainstream models is a large one and can be the catalyst that will determine what you will purchase. This can be the difference maker. Winner: Wii

The Processor – The Xbox 360 sports a powerfully quick 3.2 GHz PowerPC with three processor cores while the Nintendo Wii has a 729 MHz IBM Broadway processor. By simply taking a look at the difference in MHz, you can safely conclude that in terms of overall processor speed, the Microsoft Xbox is the more powerful unit. Winner: Xbox 360

The Video Graphics – The Nintendo Wii comes with an ATI Hollywood processor with a speed of 243 MHz, while the Xbox 360 comes with an ATI-based custom video graphics processor with a speed of 500 MHz. In terms of Video RAM, the Wii can use up to 24MB of system RAM, while the Xbox can use up to 512 megabytes of GDDR3 system RAM. In this case the Xbox is graphically superior. Winner: Xbox 360

Streaming Video – The Xbox 360 supports streaming video, streaming audio, and streaming photo slideshows while the Wii fails to support all three types of streaming. Winner: Xbox 360

The Controllers – Both the Wii and the Xbox 360 can hook up to four wireless controllers. The Xbox can also use wired controllers (via USB) while the Wii can use the wired controllers from its predecessor, the Nintendo GameCube. Winner: Xbox 360

Backward Compatibility – The Xbox 360 only has partial compatibility with games of the original Xbox. While Microsoft is slowly making it so the other Xbox games are compatible, it is a somewhat complicated process. The Wii offers more, since all GameCube games are compatible with the Wii and for a small fee of $5 to $10, it also allows users to download older games from older consoles. Winner: Wii

The Overal Winner Is

These are just some of the more important deciding factors. While the Xbox 360 is superior to the Wii in power and speed, it is also costs around $150 more of your money. The choice is yours. Xbox 360 or Wii
