If you could only have one...which one would it be?

[Chef]

Xbox 360 FTW

[MrKA-T]

there is no other system......360 rocks

[Tyler]

360 is awesome - They've finally got some really good games out, with tons more to come :D...Still gonna buy a ps3 though lol. I think the 360 is gonna replace the xbox in my car:)

I hella wanna Wii cant top zelda

[StreetUnitMike]

I'm in for wii, first for the zelda, metroid , smash bros and other nintendo titles that never dissappoint. and second everyone else is just going for a more powerful system with better graphics and accessories. Nintendo is trying to improve and revolutionize gaming like they always do.

Couldnt agree more...plus red steel looks pretty bad ass as well...and smash bros. owns all other fighting games...plus I cant wait to see what else they use the controller for

thats a 10-4. just gotta get one now.

[MrKA-T]

dont get me wrong the wii is going to be awesome. It would be my second choice. but the 360 is for anyone that games alot. the nintendo is not for some one who plays 8 hours strait. I like the 1080i high def the xbox produces. the guy from xbox at e3 stated if you have a choice buy the xbox and wii you get 2 great systems for the same price as the ps3.

This is true!! I do suport thw Wii60 combo....im just in to gameplay over graphics and its hard to beat Nintendos classics....

[Tyler]

lol never heard of the Wii60 thing, very true though. Unfortunatley, Ill prolly have all three because I have no self control when it comes to new electronics :)

[Omar_MSP]

i had the 360 until i sold it. its not that i didn't like it. i had no time to play it, it was collecting dust. so i got rid of it till after school is over and i have more time to play.

i'm def gonna get the ps3 aswell. i'm both a microsoft and sony fan.

the Wii comes out 11.19.06!!

All three have their own pros and cons.

PS3 is immensely powerful out of the box, it's being made by the company that took the gaming world by storm in only it's 1st generation and continued it through it's second generation, and as such will have great support. On the negatives though, it is incredibly expensive and is supposedly quite hard to develop for.

Xbox360 got a year-long jump on the market, meaning it's already established itself, and the Xbox Live online world has set the bar as far as console/internet integration goes. However, Microsoft still isn't supported incredibly well in Asian markets, meaning if you're a big fan of RPG/Fantasy adventures, your choices can be pretty slim.

Wii, like nearly every Nintendo console brings a whole different world of innovation to the table. The new controller has gotten great reviews already and Nintendo is great about surprising their fan base with lots of neat stuff on release day. Nintendo also has some of the most flat-out fun exclusive 1st party games, and has since the mid 80's. On the downside though is that Nintendo has a history of isolating themselves, meaning that they miss out on some very strong cross-platform games, leaving owners to pick from the "Nintendo-equivalent" of the games they want.

With that said, I would go for a PS3. Blu-Ray players are still around the $700+ range. So why not get the most powerful next gen gaming system to go with it? However, you won't see me in line to pick one up on release day. None of the systems have wowed me to the point that I feel I must absolutely own any of them, let alone all of them. Maybe it's just a sign that I'm getting older, as I used to buy nearly any new system I could find (ie. Phillips CD-i and the Game.com handheld).

bump for more votes and opinions!

[Box Boy 1]

I got the 360 and I love it, the graphics are amazing not that they won't be on the other systems. I'll probably get a PS3 when they come down in price. Until then the 360 is fine for me.

[orgspd2003]

What did SouthPark have to say about the Wii?

[StreetUnitMike]

Bump for reviews now that all the consoles are released, and i have not played any of the 3!

[ScoobyMS3]

I love my 360 its the best system i played

[Tyler]

360 is the best thus far.
wii is fun with a bunch of friends - easy to get non-gamers to play
ps3 = total disapointment thus far. i've used it more for the blu-ray player than anything. ill give it a year like the 360 and hopefully itll pick its ass up.

[Omar_MSP]

i beat gow a few weeks ago. and let me tell you, its the best experience i've ever had. graw is also amazing, can't wait for part 2.

Gow is the only game ive been playing for a while. Beat the single player on all the difficulty levels, and have been playing multiplayer since then.

[ultimateforce]

I already have a PC and a PS2, so the Wii is the only thing that brings something new to the table.
