The latest issue of the tech/culture/politics magazine Wired tests Wii and PS3 and awards Nintendo's console a very favorable eight spots out of ten, compared to six spots for Sony's black beast.

Despite Wired describin🌟g the graphics of Wii's launch title games as "downright janky" and pointing to the machine's lower-tech specs as a definite drawback, Nintendo's console wins out thanks to the potential of the Wii-mote and the ability to download classic Nintendo𝕴 games through Virtual Console.

As for PS3, Wired gives a thumbs up for its sleek interface and its ability to double as a Blu-ray player, but a thumbs down for the absence of rumble in the Sixaxis controller, the amount of heat it generates a✨nd the fact that the launch games "look 🐭no better than the Xbox 360's."
