XBox vs Wii vs PS3

[1337Nerd]

Based on personal preference, I prefer the 360. I've never had any technical problems with it, the online is fantastic and all the games I wish to play are on it.

Ok, my breakdown. They are all lousy. The PS3 over-obsesses about graphics and sacrifices gameplay(If I wanted great graphics with no gameplay, I would have watched a movie). Xbox has great sports games, first person shooters, and not much else(Am I the only one that doesn't like sports games or FPS?). The Wii tried to branch out and ignored the target audience (Some of us play video games so they can have fun while being lazy).

Sorry for the tough critique, I just really hate how they all "improved". To be honest, I have a Wii. I pretty much just play the games that require little or no motion. Yes, I know I'm lazy. I'm used to it.

Wii (or N64).

Two words: Mario Kart.

I think it depends on your situation (personally I like my PS1 and regular xbox).

This is my favorite way of determining which console is best

I LOVE wii. I only get to play it at my friend's house, but Mario Kart, OMG, so much fun

I have an Xbox 360. I buy a new game once a month or so and it's served my needs well, even if it breaks all too frequently.

I personally like the family games for the Wii(Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports) and the awesome-looking single player games(Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess). Although some games look totally AWESOME for the XBox 360(Halo 3, Lord of the Rings Conquest and Assassin's Creed). The PS3 also has some really good looking games out there and the graphics are amazing along with the blu-ray capabilities. All of them are really good systems and I am looking forward to get them.

Xbox fanboys UNITE!! I really think that the xbox is overall the best. I barely ever touch my wii (please i'm saying this now don't turn that into something perverted XD) and my PS3 is only ever used for Little Big Planet and MotorStorm

PS3 > Wii > 360
no way anything beats ps3
and i like wii gameplay better
tho 360 and wii is argueable, ps3 bein on top is not.
