I can say firsthand, the Wii and the PS3 suck.

If you explained in detail exactly why.... You'd sound more like a "professional video game tester"....

As it stands right now, you sound more like a fanboy....

Dain is an ideal Republican candidate for the 2008 Presidential elections.

He can cut and run from threads like no other.

If the 360 wasn't a MS product I'd be happy to. But since I boycott MS as best as I'm able I'll stick with the Wii. Playstation lost me with the poor physical construction on the ps2 that made me run thru 3 of em in a very short period.

Also, we aren't talking about a PC/console comparison here anyways. We are talking PS3, Xbox360, Wii.

Even though there is a subscription fee for XBL on the 360, it looks as if it will blow away anything that sony has for online play by far. I'd rather pay $50 for Live and have a uniform, consistant online sysytem.

And I'm kind of disappointed that the games on the Wii virtual console won't have any upgraded "features" of any kind such as online play. Oh well.

Personally I will wait on these other consoles. The 360 is great with a lot of great games on the way in the coming months. Once I see how the Wii and PS3 compare, I may buy one, or both.
