Since I got the 360 4 months ago, I only spent 4 hours in total on that machine.

So my vote goes

- PS3

then Laptop.

It would have to be the PS3 this year because I have yet to purchase a 360. Even when I get the 360, the ps3 will be my main gaming console in 2010.

TIME PARADOX!

This made me realize that all the home consoles this gen could be done this way and look "reasonable" as a yell. 
"PS33333" works thanks to 'leet sp34k' equating 3 and E. 
"3600000" works IMO because the "0"s just look OK for the yell if you imagine it. 
"Wiiiiiiiiiiiiii" works because the "i"s are just what you're yelling, period. 

Compare to last gen: 
"PS2222222222222" Ridiculous.  It looks like you're saying "twotwotwotwotwo" IMO. 
"Gamecubeeeeeeee" Ridiculous for the opposite reason.  You can't yell it that way. 
"Xboxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" Doubly ridiculous:  it looks impossible and is impossible. 

That's the real reason this gen's console wars are worse.  The fanboy armies have battle cries that actually work. 
It makes perfect sense

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Wii and PC, but selected Wii.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

It was 360 earlier this year, but after I got Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2...PS3 all the way!

A year ago, the answer was easy: Xbox 360. At this point in time, the PlayStation 3.

Some PS3 loyalist you are ;P

Wii is the most played at my home, with the whole family enjoying it and playing a lot of its games (especially Wii Sports/Resort and right now New Super Mario Bros. Wii). It's also my console of choice, with games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Modern Warfare Reflex being played a lot right now.

My brother has a 360 which he keeps and plays in his room. I myself will play multiplayer games like Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead with him, and I'll also play the occasional single player game from time to time (Like Bioshock and Arkham Asylum).

I used to have a roommate in college who owned a PS3. I'd play it from time to time, mostly playing Metal Gear Sold 4 and Mortal Kombat II.

DS is my most played handheld. I try to take it everywhere I go, and if I forget... then I'll borrow my sister's.

Haven't really gotten much time on the PSP.

Still gotta go with the 360. I just like the interface/community more. It goes in this order, as far as playtime:

1. 360 (king of the multi-plats)
2. PSP (take it EVERYWHERE)
3. PS3 (awesome exclusives -Valkyria Chronicles > all!)
4. Wii (fun with friends!)
5. DS. (I own 4. 4 are broken.)


lol, how? I find it impossible to break handhelds unless you drop them hard all the time.

-Got the first DS at launch when my kid was 3 or 4 years old.  She was attracted to the pretty colors or something and wanted it.  Destroyed the touchscreen. 

-Got the second DS Christmas of that year.  Through a dramatic chain of events, it somehow became an unwritten rule that that DS was my daughters and the original broken one was mine.  After a while, is suffered numerous scratches and a broken hinge. 

-Then, I got a DS Lite.  It looked so much better than the original, that my daughter took it.  It lasted for a really long time, then one day it fell out of the car (I wasn't there) and it wouldn't power on.  That was over a year ago.  Maybe two.  I can't remember where it is, but I've just had a starting revelation!  I never tried to fix it.  MAYBE THE BATTERY JUST GOT KNOCKED LOOSE!!!!

-We stole one.  It's a DS Phat.  It has a broken hinge and the top screen won't show anything.

 

That's why I bought a PSP this year instead of another DS (wanted a DSi).  My track record sucks!!!My kid is getting a pink PSP ($130 with Hannah Montanna game/UMD and a 2 GB memory card) AND DS ($99) for Christmas.  She really loves MY PSP (and I've seen what happens when she likes my handhelds) and we have too many DS games!
