Which do you prefer the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, or the PlayStation 3? Any reasons?

Playstation 3

Pros: The best graphics, Blu Ray Player, alot of potential to being the best console their is and a Mass Storage Device. HDMI

Cons: No good games, online play is poxy, and to buy stuff online you MUST use a credit card. Absolutely no Modding Capabillities.

Xbox 360

Pros: Great Games, Brilliant Online Play, A HUGE range of Downloadble Content, lots of 3rd Party Support and you can buy from the Market Place with a Prepaid Card, rather than a Credit Card. It's completely customizable, so modding it is a breeze. But here's the catch, if you mod the console, beware, you may be banned from Xbox Live.

Cons: No HDMI. Bad Hardware, in which gives you the Red Ring of Death.

Wii

Pros: Motion Sensors, great 1st Party Games.
Cons: Pathetic Online Play, No HD. Way too many Party games and not enough support for the Single Players.


Over all, the Xbox 360 stands out to be the best.

Oh god, not the console wars x_x.

Well, for me it's definitely the PS3. Like it or not, PS3 and 360 have VERY similar game line-ups, most good games on one console can be found on the other one. However, personally I think the PS3 has a few more good exclusives than the 360, like LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, WipeOut HD, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty, Demon's Souls, Flower, Resistance 1 and 2, Valkyria Chronicles, inFamous, Motorstorm 1 and 2, Yakuza 3, PixelJunk Monsters and PixelJunk Eden, Fat Princess, Disgaea 3, The Last Guy and Folklore. These are all great games that can't be found on Wii, XBox 360, PC, PSP or DS. And, as I said, the rest of the library is very similar to the 360's. Also, I don't care about Bluray or stuff like that, I only care about the games.

Another important factor is that Microsoft here in Portugal barely cares about videogames, while Sony does. The result is going to a store and finding 9 or 10 360 games and finding 30-50 PS3 games, fully translated to Portuguese. So, choosing a console becomes a no-brainer.

The Wii... I use it for GameCube games, Virtual Console games and whatever Metroid/Zelda/Mario comes out. Does its job well, but it's not my favourite console by any means.

But this is just an opinion, of course not everyone has the same opinions.

I got my eyes on you.
See, I always hate these 'best' console threads. 'Favourite' console threads work so much better because it's not as debatable. You can't debate somebody else's opinion, but you can debate about what console is best. So, having said that, let's not turn this topic into a flame wars thread.

I'm going to say Wii simply because that's the only one I have. I've played a couple of XBox 360 games but I haven't played it enough to prefer it over Wii. I've only played PS3 once and that was Street Fighter 4. It was okay, but not fantastic.

I'd go with the 360, because I sorta lost interest in the Wii's library and I'm not a big fan of the PS3's community or their exclusives(Like Flower, Patapon and all that stuff...art's not my thing. XD).

Like I said in my introduction post I am in love with my 360 lol :P so 360 gets my vote :D

But here is just a little info about the three consoles:

PS3 - Good for racing games, futureproof, free online gaming
360 - Good for online shooters/football,modable, free games
Wii - Good family fun or with friends, fun but childish graphics, its is the only system which is different from it's previous consoles. PS3 and 360 are just upgraded versions of their former selves while the wii took advantage of what is called gaming fun.

But overall I still go with the vote for my 360 :)

Wii, but I wish it had more features. Probably 360, even though I don't have one.

xBox 360 but the Wii comes in a close second due to it's active nature.... I love just about everything on the 360 .. and seeing I haven't tried the ps3 due to limitation and price ... I really don't care for it .. however, I may try the new slim they are coming out with for the ps3 :P

For me, it has got to be the Xbox 360. It's got amazing graphics, good online play, great selection of games, download-able content.

I traded my Wii to my cousins for their ps3 and I got to say.

What a disappointment. The PS3 is terrible! Just to play, its got to install the goddamn game! it takes over an hour each game just to install and update!

I miss my Wii. :(

The Wii.

I'm not easily impressed by pretty graphics and the "rest" of the crowd.

The Wiimote has changed gaming, for me. I can't even play games on a regular controller anymore ... they're kinda boring now :D

Sell the PS3 for a Wii, you'll have enough money left over to buy something else.

Lol, wtf? I thought that's what you bought the game disk for. *Rolls eyes*

And I was actually thinking of getting a PS3 now that Slim is a reasonable price...

I had a nice paying job, I just haven't been paid yet. O.o

I also had a job interview the other day and I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

Don't, Not worth it. I can't even play Socom because it takes forever to start up!

MGS4 Took forever enough!
