HA! Yeah, I figured it would surprise a few people. I guess I'll explain my ranking.
First off, the HH's sucked this time around. I didn't like the DS at all due to its graphics and bad controls for games like Animal Crossing, or Resident Evil. The controls didn't work for 3D games. I am basically the opposite of a graphics fanboy and graphics are really far down on my list of importance in games. With that said, some of those games were nearly non-playable for me. As for the PSP? It never interested me even a bit so its last by default, it is admittedly the only System I didn't play at all this gen.
The Home System order probably surprised you though, so here is my reasoning. I only owned a Wii personally but my family members owned a PS3 & XB360 so I got a good amount of time with all 3. I only got to play the single player games on Wii though. The XB360 while a decent System never really interested me at all. I ended up only playing COD and some Kinect games on it. Kinect never reached its potential IMO and overall its a distant last on my list this gen. (Out of the Home Consoles)
Next, is the Wii. I basically share the opinion of most other gamers for the Wii. The Wii was extremely exciting and fun for a while and actually was looking to take the top spot for my favorite system ever. It lasted until Late 2009 and after that it got pretty...dead. Nintendo kind of abandoned the System way before the Wii U was even announced. It kind of lost its way and I was left feeling disappointed in the end. It had a lot of wasted potential...
Finally, even though I spent way more $ on and way more time with the Wii because I never really owned a PS3, PS3 still ended up being my favorite System from the Gen. I couldn't really vote for it because I never owned one but it still was the best IMO. If I could rewind, I would have still gotten a Wii in 2007 but then would've gotten a PS3 in 2009 or just waited for PS3 to go down in price. Looking back, it ended up with the best exclusive and overall library. Plus, LittleBigPlanet was better than any Wii game!
I grew up with Nintendo & enjoy many of their games but both the DS & Wii left a disappointed feeling from last gen. (Which is odd considering they were their biggest sellers to date) Now I am old enough to really research and find out the best System for me. I will no longer just automatically go with Nintendo. This E3 will be very interesting because that is when I'll decide my next gen System of choice. (I normally buy only one Home System per Gen)
By the way, these are my Top 10 Systems of all time as of this Gen:
10) GameBoy Advance
9) 3DS (Already)
8) XB360
7) S Genesis
6) GameBoy
5) GameCube
4) Wii
3) PS3
2) PS (1)
1) N64
