The Wii is the most highly-rated console of 2007
The Nintendo Wii has been voted the best console of 2007 despite the Japanese company being unable to supply enough units to meet demand.
A poll of console buyers put together by Reevoo found the Wii beat nearest rival Playstation 3 by a narrow margin to claim first place.
The Wii was awarded an average score of 8.78 out of ten, with the Playstation3 getting 8.25 and the Xbox 360 given 7.65.
"Sony's Playstation scored highest on value for money, rating 7.96, versus 7.70 for the Wii and 7.15 for Microsoft's Xbox 360," Reevoo explained.
"Reviewers praised the Sony console for the integration of a Blu-Ray player, contributing to its leading value for money score.
"The Wii was praised for its usability, child friendliness and exercise potential."
Revoo added the Xbox 360 scored well for graphics and design, but fared poorly in other areas, such as weight.
