Favourite System and Why

[Grey Acumen]

I only own a Wii and a DS, but I've demoed the PS3, either in stores or on friend's consoles.

Controllers:

I found the 360 controls to be kinda okay, but I hated the trigger buttons, if they had made them concave, like an actual trigger, it wouldn't have been so bad, but as it is, it felt like every time I pressed it, I ended up keeping it pressed with the side of my finger instead of the underside of the finger.

PS3 has much the same problem, to a further extent, it does come across as being too light, and the motion controls felt constantly limited to two choices of "steer" or "shake the controller like you're a child abuser"

Wiimote is comfy, not too many buttons, but everything is right under my fingertips, I can use the wiimote to point at the screen, and I can also use the nunchuk and wiimote motion sensors independently, so I don't feel like i'm handcuffed while playing a game.


Graphics:
360 has a lot of mood, but not much personality. Games tend to be darker adn a lot of mood lighting, overly complicated controls, I honestly cannot understand why people feel it's so great for FPS, yet that's what it's focus seems to be in.

PS3 has a bunch of pretty stuff. Where 360 focuses on high end uber realistic graphics, PS3 leans more towards prettier eye candy that is still technically complex, but sacrifices reality for aesthetic appeal

Wii ranges anywhere from uber simplistic to highly stylized. While Wii games tend to lack graphical content, the content that is there is(if done properly) focused on the most important stylistic aspect, which creates simple yet engaging art styles. No More Heroes is a perfect example of this. This compares to how World of Warcraft is often felt to look better than Everquest, even though EQ actually has more complex graphics. It's the art style itself which actually is the point people notice most.

Games:
there aren't any games on the 360 that I'm personally interested in

There aren't any PS3 games I'm really interested in just yet, but I may check out Little Big Planet, and some of the PS3/360 multiplatforms, like Portal, I'd be more likely to get on the PS3.

I've already got some dozen games for Wii, including a few Gamecube games that i still play. either way, this is the largest that my video game collection has ever been after only 2 years being out on the market.

Other stuff:
360 has issues that the hardware reliavility still makes me doubt getting the system for myself. I get a console on the idea that I don't have to worry about it the way I woudl a PC.

PS3 has a LOT of extra features, and a lot of them are really cool, but a lot of them, i'll probably never use and it feels like a waste.

Wi carely has any extra features, but I got it to play games, and so far ir does that quite well.

So Wii wins out
