I have all 3 because they all offered something unique and so far each one has their own niche carved out pretty well.

I'll post them in the order I bought them
Wii: Ninendo core games for me. I have only 1 maybe 2 titles that are not Nintendo titles for the Wii. If it weren't for Virtual Console I would have sold this off months ago.
Xbox 360: Online play and the hardcore games. I own the most games for the 360 out of this generation from a wide variety of developers and publishers. Hitting a lull for me. The games I want for this are coming to PC and will be better supported on PC. (Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3)
PS3: PSN is awesome. I have more games purchased off of PSN than I own physical copies. PixelJunk Eden/Monster, Warhawk, PAIN, Siren. Those are just the exclusives. PS3 is starting to get their own exclusives but Microsoft took quite a bit of thunder from the PS3 by getting many titles to be multiplatform.

I have all three and basically got them because I could. I got the PS3 last and only because it was a 20GB that I paid $280 on Craigslist.

360- The "first"; I have tons of games both on DVD and XBox Arcade. This gets the most playtime by far even though it's loud as hell. It's a 2005 unit and has never really had a problem. I have a pretty nice PC but sometimes I just prefer to play on the couch.

Wii- Fun at first but the novelty wore off fast. It gets played when I go to a friend's house or something but I haven't even hooked in my place since May. Thinking about selling it.

PS3 - Like I said earlier, I got a deal on this so I took the jump. Uncharted is pretty fun (although annoying with the enemies) and MGS4 looks alright but I'm only at the beginning. The PSN store pales in comparison to XBox Arcade in terms of content but Warhawk looks interesting.

I have a 360 and I enjoy it very much. I absolutely love using TVersity to stream unprotected avi files. Anyone remember rockos modern life? Ah.. good to be able to watch that on a home theater projector.

The 360 has a great selection of games and some ofthe ones for the ps3 as well as PC are multiplatform.

I bought my 360 for 145 on craigslist, it was a launch 360 that made a lot of noise, but I ended up having to replace the drive since the laser died on me.

The only thing I could say about the xbox 360 is that I am afraid of RRoD.
