One of the most common questions asked by people nowadays is "which console to buy?" The answer would depend on which games you like, how much are you ready to spend for it, what is more important for you, Graphics and Game-play etc. Now let me explain each console here first and then will explain why Wii is better than Xbox 360 & PS3.

Xbox 360 is a second video game console from Microsoft and it was released in 2005 and has sold close to 22 million units worldwide. Xbox 360 has an integrated service called Xbox Live which allows players to compete online and download games and movies.

PlayStation 3 or PS3 is a third video game console from Sony after massively popular PlayStation 2 which has sold close to 140 million units totally. PS3 has an integrated service called PlayStation Network which is a service similar to Xbox Live. PS3 has good multimedia capabilities, connectivity with PlayStation Portable and it is the first console to have the ability to play Blue-ray discs.

Wii is a seventh generation video game console from Nintendo; it was designed by legendary game-designer Shigeru Miyamoto. The distinguishing feature of Wii is its Wii Remote or Wiimote, which can be used a handheld pointing device and can detect movement in three dimensions. Another unique feature of Wii is its WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the internet while in standby mode.

The one thing which makes Nintendo Wii stand out among both Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 is its Game-play. Wii is all about game-play, there has never been a console this good which is so interactive and appealing to every genre of people. Nintendo's Wii is stuffed with a simple processor, ATI 'Hollywood' GPU and a motion sensitive remote which is the first of its kind in game consoles. The controller with motion-sensitive gameplay options is as easy to use as a TV remote and hence has attracted a huge population of casual gamers who find it easy to play games on Wii rather than on any other consoles.

Nintendo Wii has totally sold around 35 Million units since it was released on November 2006 and has consistently outsold both Xbox 360 and PS3 to the ratio of 2:1 and 6:1 respectively. Wii is much cheaper than other consoles, almost half the price of other consoles. Wii console is backward compatible with almost all the Nintendo GameCube software and controllers. Wii also has some very good games like Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Pokémon and Mario Kart, most of the Wii games can be played with other players online with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Almost all Wii games are stress busting, exciting, funny and addictive to play.

Nintendo's Wii is truly an innovative console which has changed the way games are played for both hardcore gamers as well as casual gamers, and has also attracted many new people to games, who have avoided games for being difficult to learn and play. Wii is truly a marvel and is a must-have for everyone.

Kazuya Mishima, son of Heichachi Mishima is one of the most recognisable characters in Tekken. These two characters have a lot of history, as Heihachi threw Tekken Kazuya off of a cliff when he was only 5 years old, as he wanted to discard him as he believed him to be too weak. Heihachi thought that he would surely die, but if by somehow he could survive and climb back up, he was worthy of being his son. It turns out that Kazuya made a deal with the Devil that would allow the Devil to eventually have his body if he gave him the strength to first have his revenge over Heihachi.

Once the King of Iron Fists tournament was announced, Kazuya saw this as the perfect opportunity for revenge, as the tournament was run by the Mishima Corporation. Upon winning the tournament, Kazuya them takes his revenge by throwing his father off of the same cliff that he had been thrown all those years ago.

Tekken Kazuya was the main character and 'poster boy' of the game until Jin Kazama (Kazuya's son) came along and took the mantle from him. In terms of style, Tekken Kazuya is somewhere between Heihachi and Jin, which is rather fitting considering he is in the middle of the family tree. He shares moves with both characters, but often ranked in official tier lists lower down than both of these characters.

One of Kazuya's most famous moves is the 'Rising Dragon', where he crouches, spins round and moves towards his opponent. As he is spinning, electricity (or something like it) can be seen whirring round his body, before he eventually delivers and uppercut to his foe. This, and variations of this move are generally used to end Jin's combos.

GameYeeeah initially carried Xbox Live Vision Camera (Xbox 360) and priced it at €24.99 for the 2009 year end.

Item Features:

- Maximize your Xbox LIVE Gold subscription with video chat (Gold membership required for video chat).

- Put a face on your gamertag and make yourself known to the people on your friends list.

- Bring gesture-based games to life using your body movements to control the action.

- Supports games designed with "face in game" technology for a personalized gaming experience—add your face to your character in-game.

- Images are a snap with VGA 640H x 480V video at 30 frames per second and still photos at 1.3 mega-pixels.

Now, check out the latest review from the professional review site - CNET

The good: Microsoft's slickly designed Xbox Live Vision for Xbox 360 is a relatively inexpensive, USB Web-cam-style video camera that allows you to video-chat online with other Xbox Live gamers. You can also use the camera to add still images to your text messages and your gamertag picture, not to mention that some upcoming games will allow you to map your face to your in-game player using the camera. We also like the shimmering water effect the camera puts on the background of the Xbox Live menu system, not to mention that when you're in music mode on your Xbox 360, you can play with the visualization with hand gestures. Lastly, the Xbox Live Vision camera can double as a Web cam on your PC or Mac.

The bad: Image quality for still photos is pretty mediocre and only a handful of games are currently Vision-enabled.

The bottom line: Microsoft's answer to Sony's EyeToy camera, the affordable Xbox Live Vision Camera for Xbox 360 may not yet be a must-have Xbox 360 accessory, but we suspect that as Microsoft upgrades Xbox Live to include more Vision features, it will be.

Where to buy:
