What is your preferred console?

[Runa216]

PS3 for me by a wide margin, but I don't hate any of them.

Wii doesn't have any games, but the few games it does have rank in my all time favorites and easily at the top of my list this generation (Zelda, Smash brothers, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Donkey Kong Country Returns, etc). Virtual console was a big deal for a year or two, but they straight up stopped supporting it, even though I did get Mario RPG, Link to the Past, and the three Donkey Kong Country games, my second, third, and fifth favorite games of all time (DKC trilogy I count as one)

the 360 has got some great games and has an amazing controller, but I hate how it makes you pay to play online (Wii, PS3, and PC all give you online play free of charge, I refuse to give Microsoft money for it.) I also don't care for the fact that I am constantly in limbo waiting for it to red ring (this is my second X-Box.) that said, its got some great exclusives and it shares the best aspects of this generation's library with PS3.

However, the PS3 basically has it all. The hardware is reliable, gives you the ability to trade out hard drives, has an amazing controller, etc. The online is free, with the gold giving you great deals but is not necessary, has much of the best games this gen that it shares with 360 (and even some it shares with the Wii), as well as the second best exclusives next to the Wii (Uncharted, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, inFamous, MGS, etc.) Also has some damn good download games. I also love how it plays blu-ray, and I'm huge into movies and have an extensive Blu Ray collection so this is the center of my entertainment system.

All games have their place in my heart, but the PS3 does it all, even if it doesn't do everything perfectly. Second best in exclusives by a thin margin, second best in online (but free), best and most reliable hardware, second best download system next to Xbox by a slim margin. Get where I'm going?
