The PS3 I do use quite a lot and recently that has been the one I've been playing most just because its the one I got most recently so I'm playing through games like Resistance and Uncharted. I also use the PS3 for playing most of my media.

The Wii is an every so often kind of thing, although it's usually what me and my girlfriend tend to play because we enjoy Mario Kart or Smash Brothers.

I did used to have fanboyish tendancies but I quickly grown out of it. For me I love seeing what all three consoles can do and are capable of.
The Wii is the one I was most disappointed in. They hooked me with the hype, the promises, etc., then dragged their feet for so long I stopped caring.

Even if I had no games for the PS3, I could justify my purchase because of the media capabilities. Granted, I wish I had more games for it, but when I can get them for the 360, why bother? ALL my friends (Locals) have a 360, so I can game with them, and most of the people I know have Xbox online, so I can play with them over Live, too. That pretty much decides things like "Will you buy Burnout for the 360 or for the PS3?" for me.

To be honest, while I think the all three sstems thing is nice, I'd much rather have one, maybe two. I got through most of the last gen on a PS2. Granted, I would have missed out on a lot of good games if I didn't break down and buy a GameCube, but not enough that I would have felt totally left out. However, Rogue Suadrons 2+3 plus Skies of Arcadia Legends were worth the admission. Never had the Xbox, never wanted one, it only has one game I felt I'd miss out on (Crimsons Skies HRTR). I may pick up the KoTOR games, because everyone seems to still be wet over them, but....

I'd much rather just stick with the one that offers the most games. This time around, I bought all three only because the PS3 is a BD player, and was at the top of the list in terms of BD players. Why not get a good BD system that also plays games?

And the Wii.,..God...It's almost all shovelware, even the first party stuff. It's not all bad, but FUCK, does it piss me off that their big news at E3 was that the Wii would finally be able to do what we were promised from the get-go...And all it would take was an extra 20 dollar attachment that would have cost 50 cents to implement initially.

If Nintendo fired that ugly chick they got that's running whatever title they gave her, then they would have someone that actually had SENSE!

Seriously, she so fucking delusional that it's unreal.

just bought a PS3, £99 from 'cash converters'! those mugs know nothing about pricing. I think the Xbox will still be used for gaming, but the PS3 is nearly a perfect media unit imo

I'll admit that the Wii has way too many shit games. However it has enough exclusives to keep me satisfied. I would still love to be able to play some of the big time games like Bioshock, GTA IV (only played it at my friend's a few times. I need to own it), Gears of War and so on.

Nintendo are working on a memory storage solution. I just hope it's good enough. I only have 2 WiiWare games and a couple VC games and I don't even have enough room for all of them. There are more games I'd love to download. I doubt there's even enough room to hold all of the eventual Stong Bad WiiWare games.

I love the Wii but the storage thing is ridiculous. I had to start erasing things just so I could play NHL 2K9. Not even a downloadable title.

This is pretty much where a lot of people are, too.

I think most people don't give a shit about the "Console Wars" or have animosity against systems. Most of the time, they won't even let a grudge with a company stop them from buying a system.

Never could. You can copy them to the SD card, but you have to copy them back if you want to use them, which is stupid.

On top of that, if it's a Nintendo-made online game, you can't even copy them to the SD card!
