i love watching people argue about this. the truth is what console you get should come down to what games you want to play, not loyalty (read: fanboyism) to a specific company. no console itself is really superior to another, unless you nitpick which would grant 360 (considerable) online superiority, ps3 technological superiority, and wii holy-crap-this-is-fun-to-play-with superiority.
but truthfully it's the games, look at what's out and what will be out for each system and decide then. personally i wanted Resistance, MotorStorm, Lair, WarHawk, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Heavenly Sword (plus the Blu-ray and dvd upscaler to go with the HDTV) that PS3 offered, so that's what i got. but with games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Splinter Cell:Conviction, it may not be long before pick up a 360 too (o, i WILL be broke). and for the guy reading this about go: psh, "X" game sucks, "Y" game on "Z" console r0x0rz way harder; you've completely missed the point of what i just said, those are the games I like, if they're not the ones you like...you probly own a different console
