I vote for Xbox360 because I haven't play Wii or Playstation )
The second reason is because I'm a fan of Halo )
i like the ps3. <a href="http://us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/visit/profiles/GHOST_RECON1997"><img src="http://fp.profiles.us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/pid/GHOST_RECON1997.png" width="230" height="155" border="0" /></a><br/><a href="http://www.us.playstation.com/psn/signup">Get your Portable ID!</a>
you know, i just have one question, about this, WHY IS THIS STILL UUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!, i mean somebody who has never played either of these three, or someone with no bias in this category, just go count them all up, and tell us the results, but i must say, ps was the first. wii was the first motion gaming, but xbox was first......., i have no idea what xbox is the first of... actually 360 is the second xbox, and ps3 is the 3rd, soooooo, that means tha xbox is better, alls it takes is a 3rd xbox, dont know what it will be called, and no kinect isnt the 3rd. im just saying this. yes ps was the first, but im still counting the replies and so far, it seems that xbox is just barely winning against ps3, (took a while) no joke, its just barely winning, in fact in the beginning ps3 was winning, pls do not try to count them if you have fast internet you will wasste 30 minutes of you life force, 30 minutes of you life force that i could have fed off.(im deaths servant as the name says) but of them all wii is winning. wish not. im an xbox person.yes i know my number is proly biased, but i just sayed that wii is winning. does that seem biased.
idefinatley like the xbox he best it has just as good online as the ps3 (in my opinion better). Also you can play halo i love that game
let me try to settle this once and for all.
No one can ever settle this once and for all since all these consoles will be constantly updated with new features. All you have to do is to not be biased in your post and have a good discussion on the three with getting your facts straight.
The Xbox is more secure since you have to pay for it, as in, less broken games like Cod4 and mw2 are on the ps3. If you get Xbox Live, since you have to pay, people kinda make it their goal to be good at xbox.
Just because you have to pay for online automatically means it's more secure? That doesn't even make any sense. You pay for it, yes, but that doesn't mean that you're going to get an awesome connection all the time. There are problems with both online gaming on the Xbox360 & PS3, but you get a better experience with the Xbox since they have better players.
The Wii, well, it's kinda the reject out of the 3 consoles.
Just because it doesn't have super good graphics and shooter games means it automatically sucks, right? That's biased. There are many great games on the Wii that are very enjoyable with family and without.
ps was the first.
The first what? The first out of the Playstation game systems or the first system to be made?
If it's the latter than you are wrong. Nintendo was one of the first that were out.
xbox was first......., i have no idea what xbox is the first of... actually 360 is the second xbox, and ps3 is the 3rd, soooooo, that means tha xbox is better
I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say, all of this appears to just be gibberish when you're attempting to make your post longer.
How does the Xbox 360 coming out before the PS3 mean it's better?
Clarify.
I would like to read facts about the three instead of you pure gibberish talking about which ones came out first.
Just because it doesn't have super good graphics and shooter games means it automatically sucks, right? That's biased. There are many great games on the Wii that are very enjoyable with family and without
I didn't mean that. I just meant that most of the people I know pretty much hate the wii and they say it's for little kids. That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with that. I'm just saying the popular (at least where I live) opinion. I personally enjoy the Wii from time to time, actually.
Anyways, I shall update my standing since it got dissed.
Xbox 360 (which I have):
Pros: Honestly, I can't think of any, except you may possibly get a better online experience, as in, you will be up against better players.
Cons: You have to pay for it.
PS3 (which I don't have):
Pros: You don't have to pay for it.
Cons: Matrix, what I meant by "less broken games" is that CoD4 and MW2 are hacked on PS3 by hackers (obviously). Many games you get into on PS3, are, well, hacked. Since you have to pay for Xbox live, you'll be more secure from things like hacked games.
Wii (which I have):
Pros: Pretty different from the other 2, different style of games.
Cons: Not as good graphics, not as many "good" shooter games (in my opinion)
So to sum it all up, each console has their pros and cons. Since I have an Xbox, I think the Xbox is the best. I'm pretty sure if I had a PS3 instead of an xbox, I'd think the PS3 is better.
It all boils down to personal preference, considering each has their pros and cons.
The wii is geared towered family's and the ps3 and xbox 360 are in a
war.
I think ps3 is the best cause it can play 3D movies and games. It can play blu-ray movies and all its games are blu-ray as well. It has the move which is far more calibrated than the Wii, with the z-axis added to the movement of the move. Also the online is free and u can go on facebook
My review:
I look at the Xbox as a FPS system. Mainly since the controller looks like it was built for FPS games and the online is better then the other two.
I look at the PS3 as a home entertainment system that can play games. The web browser is great, blu-ray for superb graphics and movies, online gaming is second best and it's free. Though it will cut out at times. I don't have a giant problem with it.
I see the Wii as something that involves exercise for people that are too lazy to go outside. Of course the system is great and fun. But it's only that way when you play with family/friends. If you play by yourself then I can't see enjoyment with it.
I'd say you don't need a system for exercise. It's convenient and all, but parents need to make their kids more active instead of just buying them a system to hope for activeness.
PS3 pros:
-better graphics
-controller that doesn't require batteries
-free online gameplay
-better disk tray
-some better exclusive games
-low failure rate
PS3 cons:
-online is not as good as Xbox live
-controller is smaller
-smaller range of exclusive games
-No backwards compatibility
Xbox pros:
-Bigger controller
-better online gaming
-wider range of exclusive games
-Backwards Compatibility
Xbox cons:
-controllers require batteries
-higher failure rate
-have to pay for online
-disk tray scratches the games
Wii pros:
-great family/friend fun
-disk tray is the same as PS3's
-lowest failure rate out of the three
-great exclusive games
Wii cons:
-PS2 graphics
(that's the only bad thing that I can say for the Wii)
Out of all the three I love them all, but I choose the PS3 just for all the extra features, better hardware, etc. . .
Hardware: Xbox360 for PS3.
Failure rate for all three consoles.
Wii dominates in sales.
Prizefight between PS3 slim and Xbox 360 slim!
Online for 12 months $60. Batteries for controller 10$ for a pack of 20. Wired controller $40 for one(if you want to have fun with friends or family you will need to buy more and that increases the price). Play and charge kit $20.(that was for the wireless controller.) Cooling fan $20(so your Xbox won't overheat.) 250GB internal hardrive $130(if you bought the system without the memory.)
When you add all that up. You could've just bought a PS3 and avoid all that money wasting.
Great exclusives for the PS3:
Infamous
Resistance series
Metal gear solid series
Heavy Rain
SOCOM
Little big planet
God of war series
Yakuza
Ninja Gaiden series
Uncharted series
Killzone series
Rachet and Clank

Most of the games on Kinect aren't even that fun. Of course Microsoft has some games that are fun but most are just there.
The move has some good games. . . but I wouldn't invest in either the move nor Kinect yet.
The Wii is the best if you want motion gaming. I suggest you wait a little more time for better games on the Kinect/Move to be released.
If you're going to say that the Xbox and PS3 stole the Wii's idea don't do that. There's no dibs in marketing. There's also no reason to complain. If one company takes an idea and makes it better then why complain? It's going to be a better experience in gaming. Also, the Wii came out first with motion gaming; I just wanted to put that in here so that you don't say that the Wii stole there ideas from some other company.
The design:
I know the Xbox came out first, I preferred the first design. Then the PS3 came out with a different design with touch sensitive buttons and it was glossy. The first Xbox wasn't, then Microsoft made the new Xbox. And it just basically copied the old PS3's design for having the touch sensitive buttons and it was glossy. I really liked the old Xbox because it wasn't a fingerprint magnet. All Xbox could've done was just make it touch sensitive and keep the normal black matte design instead of making it glossy.
The PS3's design is the matte black with two buttons. Very simple and sleek. That's how I like it.
The Wii's design is as simple as the PS3's but much smaller so it could end up broken more easily.

For the people out there that complain about the Xbox360's online gameplay to be too expensive, don't do that!
The online gameplay is the best out of all three and it's not expensive. It's only five dollars a month. I would recommend though getting the gold subscription of fifty dollars for a year since it'll save you money and time.
For the people that complain that the Wii is a piece of junk, don't do that!
The Wii is marvelous for playing with family/friends. Much better then PS3 and Xbox360. Those are more like individual systems. Don't say that the Wii is just for children either! The system supports a wide range of teen/mature games.
For the people that say that the PS3's online is garbage, don't do that! It might not compare to that of the Xbox's online gameplay, but it's up there. It might be a little slow at times getting disconnected, but it's alright. Just connect yourself back into the game!
The Xbox 360 250Gb cost 299.99
The PS3 160GB cost 299.99
But you can just buy the PS3 320GB for 349.99 at game stop.
I think the PS3 would get way more sales if they made a 250GB for 299.99 like Microsoft has and make the 160GB price like 249.99. Right there I think Sony would rack up a lot more sales.
Personally I would just buy the Xbox 360 4GB for 199.99 because I don't need all that extra memory.
On the PS3 if you want more memory you can just get a 500GB net-book hard-drive from Best-Buy that only cost around $100-200. Instead of paying Microsoft $100 for their specific hard-drive that'll only hold about 120GB.
I know all of these are multi-billion dollar companies. But, they do have to think about the customers as well, if Sony would just deduct $50 off of their console then they would sell more and thus resulting in more profit.
It's all personal preference.
But, with your post be sure to provide your facts and opinions on each so you don't look biased and ignorant.
Just get whatever your friends have. They are three great consoles. A lot of my friends got a Xbox, but i dont want to pay for live so i got a ps3.
xbox is better in general cause it took the Ps company 2 tries to get it right and to have internet when the originail xbox just took one try and it had all the same stuff and the wii just sucks in genral unless you are playing gamecube games wheich the gamecube is used for.

What?
Microsoft had to come up with Many Xbox 360's. So that makes your half bit argument invalid.
Also, what does it matter? Really? It's about the gameplay & games on each console & add the features as well.
the wii just sucks in genral unless you are playing gamecube games wheich the gamecube is used for.
I sense a biased and ignorant argument again.
Why does the Wii suck? You should clarify some more before you post again.
Gamecube games? There are many games on the Wii that are made for the Wii.
I have to go with the wii. It has more games and its less expensive.
