If you want one of the big 3 to go the way of Sega, or want your preferred company to monopolize...

i do not wish this upon anybody! if i had to choose it would be hard, sony make's the best hardware microsft has the best online and nintendo has the best innovation each company has there strenghts

sony has
the greatest first party games out of any console's
the greatest hardware
the greatest mulitmedia device
easiest to navigate
best controller [my opinion]

microsft has
the greatest online
the greatest social experience
small quantity games but there all quality
the best marketiting
best controller for fps

Nintendo has
the best platforming games out of any console's
the best innovations
the best ip's
best handhelds

each console's have there strengths and taking anyone off would ruin competition and ruin your choice!
but if i had to choose it would be microsoft seeing as they are the new guy and the first 2 companys should have more rights to stay
