Wow, good topic. Steam.

But seriously, out of the ones you named:

WiiWare has the best games in the store (WiiWare and VC included).
PSN is the best overall value with online play for free and being almost on par with LIVE...

but LIVE is by far still years ahead. A very good library of games, just behind WiiWare. The service costs money but is better than PSN in almost every way.

Here's the thing, I don't play my console online very often and don't have much interest to. My consoles have 3 purposes, 1. Kill time. 2. kick back 3. Entertain guests.

LIVE is awesome for those who aren't like me and like to play consoles online.

*I own a Wii and a PS3, no 360 currently.

 

Occasionally competitions and prizes are cool to hear about, but I am pretty sure they would be annoying (to me) if they become constant.  Also, it's already being done.

As far as I know, only Sony's done that so far, with the Warhawk Home beta competition.

Did they go through with that in the end? Is there something I'm missing?

I was going to post one for 360, I googled it... there have been so many 360 LIVE tournaments, it surprised me and I couldn't pick one.
