X360 - Year after launch

Wii - Six months after launch

PS3 - Not yet owned but will buy when price hits 200 GBP or killer app is released

My usual criteria is based on price and titles available that appeal to me.

The 360 was bought primarily because I wanted to play Dead Rising and Bioshock. 

The Wii had a unique selling point in the Wiimote and a very sweet price.
