Forget the X360 and PS3 caus the Wii is where it's at.
The 360 is crushing the PS3 due to lower price but they both sell at a loss.
It's the case of pure genius Wii can sell at a large profit Why is it because it has an intuitive interface, good framerates in all games and fun and easy to use.
While the HD consoles are still using a controller which is essentially a piece of history which belongs in a meuseum from the 1980's. - At least the X360 controller got a new paint job and bog but you can't avoid the fact it's still the same piece of junk.
The Mouse on my PC is easier faster and more accurate than those old thumbstick controllers for all FPS games - the only thing which can really try to match it is the Wii-mote.
So am actually really happy to see the PS360 getting thrashed by the Wii.
Just cause i own a PS3 does not mean i think it's good - fact is a console is worthless without good software and so far there has been nothing but sub-standard titles which would or DO play and work better on a good PC.

Nothing but substandard titles? First you put "PS3's number 1 fan" in your sig, and then you say the PS3 has only substandard titles?

I'm not even going to bother listing them. You know great games exist on all consoles. 

The controller works better than the keyboard and mouse for every genre except RTS and FPS. Have you tried playing Assassin's Creed on PC? And I'm sure it would be equally bad on Wii. The Wiimote and Keyboard + Mouse are not designed for that sort of game.

Of course the mouse is better for FPS. I think 9/10 people accept that now. But FPS is not the only genre in existence, and I have played several FPS on consoles that work incredibly well, like Halo, CoD4 and BioShock. I could play them on PC, but I happen to prefer sitting on a comfortable chair with a controller in hand to PC gaming.

The Wii can sell at a profit because it appeals to casual gamers. I'm not saying it only appeals to casual gamers, but it has focused on them far more than the other consoles. The hardware is cheap and easy to manufacture. That is why it can sell at a profit.

It's fine if you prefer the Wii. I don't. A lot of people don't. People will not always agree with you. And please, change your sig.
