This was the only generation where I owned all 3 consoles. And Im about to make a new PC so that would mke it my 4th gaming device. From my experience I believe the PS3 is the best of the 3. Even though I think PS3 is the best I have played the 360 the most this generation, mostly because i bought it first and games like halo, gears, etc. Most of multiplayer is also done on the 360. BUt imo PS3 is still better as a whole. PS3 exclusive games give you a nice variety that both wii fans and 360 fans would enjoy. I believe the wii fans would mostly enjoy mario, zelda type games. While 360 fans would enjoy gears/halo games. PS3 has a great library that includes games for nintendo fans such as lbp, mnr, etc. And for the 360 fans it has killzone, socom, resistance etc. On top of that the ps3 has its own games to make it shince such as uncharted, heavy rain, demons souls, etc. (these are games that the competing consoles dont realy have to match). Overall the PS3 system is a better system (hardware wise). Sure to some blu ray is not needed but it is always good to have it there especially f it is the same price as the 360. Also you are not forced to pay subscription to "unlock" the other portion of your game. So these were my thoughts.
