Sony markets the PS3 as a gaming console.  From a pure gaming perspective, does the Wii or the PS3 hold more 'value?'

Clearly, with a wider range of games and more AAA titles, it is the Wii. 

I've been studying MS fairly non-stop for most of the year at university.  The anti-trusts, the software bundling, the glitches, the anti-competitive behaviour.  Belief me, I have no broad love for Microsoft.  But none of this automatically makes the 360 a poor gaming device as you seem to believe.

In fact, when competiting in an open, competitive market like the console market, Microsoft's vast resources garnered in other industries (with or without unscroupulous tactics) actually represent a massive asset. 

I find it ironic you are all accusing starcraft for being such a big fanboy. starcraft never really trolls, at least what I have seen from him. He sometimes just a little bit to positive to the 360 sales. But then your are all calling him a fanboy, because there not many 360 supporters on this site and you just take him in numbers. We need more 360 supporters.

It is wonderful to see someone oppose the ganging up that goes on with Sony fans on this site.  It is ridiculous how sacred they see the PS3 as.

I never attack any console without reasonably explaining why.  I don't expect people to agree, but I do expect them to either ignore my remarks, or respond with some sort of logic and dignity, rather than simply hiding their insecurities by screaming FANBOY or TROLL. 

 Lol I love the way you change your questions to force the answers you desire (true fanboy). Sony markets the ps3 as a media device this isn't only evident through their advertising(Duh!) but through the ps3's functionality.

"From a pure gaming perspective" that made me lol , the PS3 is more than a gaming device but if we're gonna answer from a pure gaming perspective it's realy down the the individual , Out of all the Wii games only SSBB apeals to me apart from that the PS3's line-up is much better in my opinion. All that "AAA" stuff is garbage like you said value can't be measured objectivley stop contradicting yourself. 

@ SpartanFX

Hes right about the loan. It was a $50 million loan, that basically preorders $50 million dollars worth of dlc. If owners spend over $50 million on te dlc, then microsoft get it all back.
So basically microsoft get all the money from dlc from the first $50 million. Then after that i suppose some money goes to rockstar and some to microsoft? Not too sure about that.

I dont have a link sorry, but thats what everyones been telling me.

Starcraft always does a lot or PR work for 360 on here. It would not surprise me if starcraft works for Microsoft.
The bundles of 360 consoles with GTA 4 will do ok in the UK and around the world. But PS3 hardware will still outsell the 360 hardware no matter what.

I said an "atempt" to measure value objectivley , I just listed what the console was capable of and since it could more usefull things than the Wii , it would be more objective to say the PS3 was better vale for money than the Wii.

I woudln't expect a PS3 price drop or game to affect the Wii , I woudln't even expect GTA IV to impact the Wii too much(for obvious reasons). But equaly a Wii price drop or software release wouldn't damage PS3 sales.

the consumer sees Wii as better value ? are you basing this purely on hardware sales or have you dome some kinda entensive market research to proove this or what ?. Like I said the PS3 is better value for money but it looses on it's high price point. 

In my opinion at the same price point the PS3 is the best value by far. Wii is slightly ahead of the 360 just because of the hardware issues of the 360. All three consoles PS3, Wii and 360 are good consoles in their own way.
