Favourite is PS3

Flaws: No cross game chat, too expensive (until the slim), bad ports of games, long ass firmware updates, mandatory game installs (not a big deal anymore though).

Favorite console- PS3 or Wii, I can't decide.

Flaws- Wii: Lack of 3rd Party support, underdeveloped online

             PS3: Long firmware updates, wi-fi sensor sucks

360:

pay to play online, pretty loud, very few exclusives not on pc. If I had bought my gaming pc before my 360 I might not even have gotten it.

Favourite: Wii

Biggest Flaw: Some game developers just release a half finished game to cash in on the Wii Market Leadership.

Favourite: Steam

Biggest flaw: Bugs and other such things in some titles as well as networking/multiplayer needing a bit of work to bring it up to Live standard.

PS3

Biggest Flaw: It released way too late in the U.S. Teenage gamers picked up the 360 and then it spread like wildfire. Afterall, teenage gamers only do what their friends do. Now the PS3 can't catch it in the Americas.

As great as steam is I don't think it qualifies as a "console" platform yes, console no.

Favourite console PS3

biggest flaw: I don't own one

Wii

A functional online system would help, though i don't play too many such games (except for Monster Hunter, which had a perfectly functional system, though that's for another thread and another day)

Favourite console: Wii

Biggest flaws: Online (not a big problem for me since I wouldn't care more about online even if it was free and on Xbox live level, but it's one of the Wii's biggest flaws nevertheless.), not enough wacky motion-controlled games, Nintendo fails at localisation, not enough Metroidzzz.

It is as much a console platform as Onlive and as a PS3 or Wii. It is a console running atop the general Windows operating system.
