The Wii is my preferred console. I've been picking up a lot of games I missed for the system and I just got Xenoblade on thursday ( I pre-ordered it from Nintendo's online store and it took them 6 days to get it to me. ) The only non Nintendo console I have ever bought is the 360. I have always been indifferent to the playstation brand.

I hardly ever play my 360 anymore. Mainly due to the fact I'm not big into FPS and TPS shooters and their aren't that many great traditional RPG's on the system     ( Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey are amazing though )

Though if I had to pick my favorite console this gen it would be the DS.



I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!

The Wii. Most of my favourite games of this generation are exclusive to it. (Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Monster Hunter Tri, Sin & Punishment 2, Skyward Sword, etc)

I really enjoy my 360 as well though.



Like alot of people, while my favorite company is Nintendo and my favorite game console of all time is 3ds, out of the options i pick PS3.

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

.

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?


You make a pretty compelling argument.  I gotta respect that!

Well the way I see it, the Wii has the best exclusives (top rated exclusives this gen), but the PS3 isn't far behind, with the 360 lagging pretty far behind.  

When it comes to digital downloads, 360 takes the crown, with PS3 just slightly behind, and the Wii falling well behind. 

When it comes to online, PS3 and 360 are equal (the fact that PS3 is free balances out the slightly better support XBLA gets) 

PS3 has virtually EVERY multiplatform game, even if it sometimes lags becuase the 360 is slightly better when it comes to multiplats. (lots of games between PS3 and 360, some shared between PS3 and Wii, can't think of anything on wii and 360 but not PS3.)  

PS3 has PSP and Vita cross functionality, even though the PSP functionality was ignored and the Vita functionality is in its infancy.  

PS3 has blu ray and swappable hard drives.   Like I Said, totally does everything, even if it doesn't win, it gets enough close second place prizes to have by far the highest overall points.
