Hi Muhammed and all. I definitely agree with what Clemant said on this, the only thing I would add is that yes the wii is a lot of fun, however many of the games that we can play e.g. bowling, baseball, etc. are multiperson games. This is fine if you consistantly have other people to play with but it can really be a drag if you don't. A friend of ours has a wii and my wife and I go over there and the three of us play bowling and really enjoy it, but at home I am mainly the one who plays games so that is what steered me away from the wii and towards the playstations. I currently have a playstation portable a playstation 2 which is on loan to another blind friend who is trying to pick up mainstream gaming and my mainstay my playstation 3.
One thing I will mention about the psp, besides gaming I also use it for music and to play movies. You can buy movies on the little umd's that the system uses or you can put them on your memory stick which any psp owner should have. While of course not accessible the menus on the psp main screen like the ps2 and ps3 main screen are fairly easy to learn and navigate. So, you can use these things for other things besides just gaming.
