I think the x-box is the best. The x-box has amazing graphics unlike the wii. Plus the ps3 glitches more. Also i love how the controler feels.

If I am comparing the XBox and the PS3. Both are almost the quality.

XBox Benefits and Downsides:
-Great Connection
-Bad graphics (Compared to PS3)
-Large controller
-Have to pay for XBox Live

PS3 Benefits and Downsides
-Great Graphics
-Small controller
-Free for PlayStation Network
-*Okay* connection

I played both consoles before, and to me PS3 is better because it has more benefits.

This is simple.

PS3 = Sony
Xbox = Microsoft
Wii = Nintendo

Sony: Makes the best electronics for TV's = Great Graphics
Microsoft: Makes best computers = Great Internet
Nintendo: A huge game maker = A LOT of games

Sony: Makes the best electronics for TV's = Great Graphics

- The PS3 and the XBox are almost entirely matched graphically. This isn't true at all.

Microsoft: Makes best computers = Great Internet

Not that obvious an assumption at all. I can't comment on this never having used XBox Live, but it's entirely possible you're quite mistaken.
Plus consider that you have to pay for it while PSN is free.

Nintendo: A huge game maker = A LOT of games

The Wii suffers from having by far the least great titles out of the 3 big consoles, because many games simply don't get to the Wii, and when it does have them they're almost invariably first-party.
And it's not like both the PS3 and XBox don't have exclusives of their own.

...
What's really gonna come down to at this point, when selecting consoles, are two questions:

1. How much of a Nintendo loyalist and Zelda/Mario/Metroid fan are you - enough to live without the great games in the PS3 and XBox?
2. If not, out of the PS3 and XBox, which console has the better exclusives?

I'm not talking about the Wii or any console. I'm talking about the companies that MADE it.

Did you even see my comment before that ihsahn? I prefer the PS3 over the XBox.

I am sorry but I will vote for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are pretty even because they both have almost the same things. But if your going to argue, well don't because Xbox 360 is my biggest vote.

Pfft, just go to craig's list and get a 360 PS-Wii! No, no, ignore the green tape. Yes thats a coffee pot connected to it. Reference.

Anyways, i have a wii and a xbox. I enjoy shooter games such as halo or call of duty, but i also enjoy exclusive games such as zelda or metroid.

Then your post is entirely irrelevant to this discussion and a total non-sequitur. You're listing the three companies that make the consoles and ascribing benefits to them, this is a thread about the consoles; two plus two makes four.

I'm sorry to inform you, you were talking about the consoles whether you meant it or not.

Did you even see my comment before that ihsahn? I prefer the PS3 over the XBox.

I still stand by my criteria, though. Console selection, the way I see it, is largely a matter of whether you like the Wii and if not, which other has the exclusives that attract you.

ihsahn, techniqally it is still relevant to the topic. We are talking about the CREATORS of the consoles. Isn't that relevant to the topic?

It is if that relates to the consoles themselves in some way, however distant. Talking about Windows 8, the Virtual Boy or a Sony Cybershot would be irrelevant.
This thread is about comparing the consoles, after all.

All I pointed out is that your assertions are inaccurate when it comes to the consoles those companies put out, and in the context of the thread, it's perfectly legitimate to assume you were making that correlation.
Or if you were merely listing elements those companies would be expected to bring to their products, I was noting that those expectations aren't necessarily fulfilled in the consoles.

If you weren't talking about the consoles at all as you claim, your post was, indeed, quite irrelevant to the discussion.
