A Pros & Cons Quick Guide
For years, three consoles have been fighting for your dollar. There’s Microsoft’s Xbox, Sony’s PlayStation and Nintendo’s Wii.

There’s a lot to like about these systems, and it may come down to personal preference. If you liked the old version of a system, there’s a good chance you’ll like the newest one.
