If i took part in a console war, I'd be a fucking retard. Therefore, I'll instead just state that anybody that actually has some sort of fanboy opinion about which piece of machinery is "better" can suck it and die.

thanks. =)

best:PS3
I had a lot of great time thanks to it this year
and by "great time" I mean sex and by "it" I mean my penis

Best: PS3 - LittleBigPlanet and MGS4 are alot of fun

Worst: Wii - wheres the good stuff baby?

This debate seems like a breeding ground for divisiveness and fanboyism. Lets hope it doesn't turn into that. I don't have any experience with a PS3 personally, so I don't get a say in this, but I think each one has done a good job of delivering a unique experience that can't quite be replicated on another system. That being said, I think a more interesting debate would be for which console have developers taken the most advantage of it's abilities? As in, have developers really used the Wii or PS3, or even 360's capabilities/community/online functions to it's fullest? I think it might an obvious no in all three categories, but it's more discussion worthy to me.

Best: Wii
Worst: PS3

It's not fanboyish to have favorites, you know.

best 360, I'm not going to debate this I'll leave that up to 99% of other forums

Best: 360
Worst: Wii whose games consist of crappy ports of crappy games, better ports of good games, and crappy games of poop.

Best: Wii, but only because I have a boner for NMH forever.
Worst: PS3

Best: PS3. I can play FNF online, wirelessly, for free, MGS4 without crazy fan noise and watch The Dark Knight in so damn many p's.

Worst: Sorry, Wii, I own two games for you and one of them I could have got on PC. February and March are looking good for you but I could have used some love earlier.

Best: Xbox 360
Worst: Wii

@Ronburgandy: Your point doesn't make sense to me, you can own all three consoles, and still have a favorite, I own all three, but I like them all equally actually. (but the Wii kind of pisses me off, just a smidgen.) Actually, I think this makes even more sense, because you would have first hand experience with all three.

Best: The PS3 used to fucking suck, but now that Sony is --kind off-- picking up the pieces, it is turning into a really great system. Free online, a higher quality digital download service (except for Braid and Castle Crashers), and great non-failing hardware, the PS3 is great, at the moment. (Home is still shit though.)

Best: 360
Worst: PS3

360 is a no brainer for me. Gears 2 has been the most fun I've had all year gameplay-wise. L4D, Castle Crashers and the aforementioned Gears 2 have provided some of the best co-op and multiplayer experiences I've EVER had. Combine this with a consistently awesome online experience(except when its occasionally down) and the recent additions like the party system and Netflix, and I'd say the 360 makes for the most solid system of the bunch.

At first I was definitely going to pick the Wii as worst but then I remembered how awesome some of the games on it have been. Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, Metroid Prime 3 and Brawl have all given me plenty of enjoyment. I am also hoping to get Tatsunoko vs Capcom soon and am really looking forward to getting Madworld too. Whereas the only game that can match any of those games for me on the PS3 is MGS4.

Yes, I'm biased cause I don't have a PS3 but as a Wii60 owner thats how I see things.

Best: XBOX 360

Reasons: The XBOX 360 has done a lot as a console to make a niche for itself in the gaming console market. The console now supports a long list of titles including exclusive games such as the Halo and Gears of War series along with non-exclusive titles such as Devil May Cry 4 and the soon to be Resident Evil 5. The online exprience for the 360 is top notch as it features a visualized menu options that allow the 360 user to easily browse through select options. The new avatar feature though not the most original has its place in the console and serves a great identifiyer for my friends. Overall, I have enjoyed meeting and challenging my fellow gamers to a variety of games from simple arcade action to extreme tournaments. Also, a great new feature is the addition of Netflix. Though you do have to pay for the online features it more than makes up for the price. Also, I love the achievment system as I feel it makes me want to play my games more and more throughly.

360 Issues: Though I cherish my 360 I must mention the consoles issues as to show I am not sugar coating the issue. The console does have a short life expectency and the dashboard system though interesting at times is a bit slow. One thing I can say is that though Microsoft is not perfect in their treatment of their 360 owners at least they try and help.

Worst: PS3

Reasons: A lot of my issues with the PS3 stem from the marketing and overall attitude the coorperation side of Sony has taken with their new system. When the console first debuted i felt like the message was "its alright to charge a lot of money because I consumers will buy the console no matter what because we are Sony." The first thing to remember is that the PS3 is not the PS2. The PS3 in general has a collection of lackluster games with a few exclusive gems thrown into the works including Little Big Planet and Resistance. I won't mention Metal Gear Solid 4 because I have no idea if this will stay exclusive or not. However, even the exlusive games such as Little Big Planet lacked the essentials that were promised such as creative freedom on the part of the consumers. Another issue is that the system hardward has a tendency of crashing. I have a 360 so maybe I shouldn't speak of such things, however, Sony does not seem to acknowledge the issue and appears to throw it back into the face of the consumer. I think I should also mention the rediculous and mandatory install times for games like Devil May Cry 4. Instead of focusing on the creation of Home the good people at Sony should be padding their game library with better games and exclusives and maybe even attempting to retain the exclusives they lost do to wreckless managment.

Good Aspects: The PS3 is a superior system and I have played some beautiful games on it. The Blue Ray player does not hurt, however, the reasoning for getting a gaming system is to play games on it and I always see the DVD capabilities as a bonus. The games are generally smooth and the live features of the PS3 are decent. I will even admite that I have enjoyed and even prefer a few of the arcade games on PS3 over the 360

In-Between: Wii

Best/Worst Aspects: The Wii is great for the average and classic gamer I think. I enjoy the motion aspects of the game console, however, there are so few games that catch my interest in this matter. The simplicity of the graphics is fine and I enjoy a few of the titles such as Nintendo mainstays, Zelda, Mario, and Smash Bros. My issue is with the fact that a lot of games are either do dumbed down in function or that the Wii motion capabilities seem like an add on rather then the main feature of the game. In consideration of online features I really enjoy the virtual console and consider it the best on the market. Being able to play all my favorite Nintendo games just fills me with joy.

Yeah, what about the DS? That's definitly better than all three.

Nintendo may have been able to move a ton of Wiis but I feel that the Wii is constructed around a gimmick, one that I am not a fan of. The online is a fucking joke and only a game or two per year so far has actually interested me. Also there is a shitload of shovelware out for the Wii and I only see an increase of it in the future.

Xbox 360 wins in my book because of the software. Hands down that's the most important part of a console. Also Xbox LIVE is by far the winner when it comes to online gaming.

Best - Xbox 360

I would have chosen 360 as best if XBL was free.

I had far more fun with my 360 games this year. Not that there were very many. but still more than the rest.
worst:......im gonna have to say Wii. Where's my new Zelda? Not to mention all my NON-mini game collections.....

Worst 360


When the 360 is good, its REALLY good. I've enjoyed SO many games since I got my 360 this year. XBLA, XNA, release game this year, last year, AND backward compatible!? Its amazing!

But the technical issues I've had with the thing, not to mention the looming spector of Red Ring. I'm paying extra for shoddy matchmaking in most cases with Gold. . . so many freezes . . . Its a lame user experience, and it feels crappy putting up with it.

I completely Love/Hate my 360.

Best: PS3 (Great game library and free online service)
Worst: Wii

If we're talking "success" -
Best- Wii
Worst- PS3

From a gamer's perspective -

Best - PS3: has a comparable library to the with this year's releases, more reliable hardware, and also has the PSN downloads to match XBLA. Also, free online play.
Worst - Wii: just fails miserably in terms of games.

Ugh, this is a fanboy war waiting to happen...

The best in my opinion is the PS3. While the 360 has a much more impressive online experience and slightly better exclusives, none of it matters if the system craps out and stops working. They're extremely similar, so why not go with the system that doesn't (usually) give people any problems?

The Wii is... Well, it's the Wii. It's definitely not the worst, but I still can't bring myself to compare it to the PS3 and 360. I absolutely love the Wii, and still play it all the time, but it's just a completely different machine. I think the Wii definitely has the most potential out of all of the systems, but it remains to be seen whether or not that potential will be realized.

I've had the most fun with my PS3, so I'll go with that as the "best."

Worst? That's kind of silly. Do you know what the 'worst' really is?

It would be a 5200 with two broken joysticks. (look it up, kiddos)

360 that ez
