I'll go off with an opinion not based off being a fanboy for any company here.

XBOX 360 has the hardware/graphics, interface is great, xboxlive being the best console online network, halo 3, gears of war. I would of liked to have built in wi-fi for internet excess though, you have to buy a separate item.

PS3 has the hardware/graphics(about the same to the 360, look it up if you don't believe), nice looking interface(an updated version of the PSP interface), they got fall of man as their first great game for the console, 6 controllers via wi-fi, but this thing is just all about the hardware with a price tag at $600(being the highest priced version) and the lowest being $500.

nintendo wii is very sleek/stylish looking, not much hardware going for it tho, they say about 2x the gamecube power. The real revolution to it is the wii-mote tho which is really where it shines. They have zelda: the twilight princess as a launch game(being called the best, or 2nd best launch title of all-time, contender is mario 64). They have a 24hr online service going where you can also download SNES ports, N64 ports, and so on, but the system cannot play DVD's...

CONCLUSION: All in all, if I had to choose ONE system it would honestly be the nintendo Wii as I'm more for the experience than bragging rights about whos console has the better hardware. When it comes down to it, the GAMES make the SYSTEM, and nintendo is really one of the best developers in the world proving it with there new zelda game.

2nd choice would be the xbox 360, all-around it has everything going for it, xbox live, great games already out(gears of war), and its been out a little while longer than the PS3 giving it the upper-hand.

I'm sorry, but the PS3 was a rushed system(shipment to US was going to be about 500,000units give or take, defects lowered that to 300,000 or so), and is all about shoving hardware in there to make you want it. Please don't think i'm flaming the PS3, I have a PS2 and like it alot, has alot of good games out, alot!

hope my opinions helped with anyones decision.
