Don't get me wrong....I love my Wii....but as an all around console the 360 is best. I am very happy that I own both though Smile

Thing is that changes over time. Right now the Wii has some awesome launch titles. Longer term the PS3 is likely to have more titles and more good ones (even if their average quality is awful, due to greater quantity there will be more good ones). Not to mention BluRay.

(also as it happens, just maybe, an income source...)

I love my 360 and my PS3 (well, Blue Ray movies and I love being able to to just pop in a DVD from my HD camcorder and have it play in native 1080i and not even have to finalize it since all the stuff is Sony). I will pick up a Wii when I can find one due to the positive rep everyone has given it. My vote is thumbs up to all three tho all have their downsides. anyone who says this one sucks or that one sucks period does not know what they are talking about.

Wii until Mass Effect for 360 comes out, and then PS3 once the good games(like MGS4 and Final Fantasy XIII) start rolling out and the price is reduced a little.

Hard to say.. for me it's split right down the middle between 360 and Wii. I guess I'd have to say 360 for gaming, but you can't beat the Wii if you just want to have a good time.

Awesome!!!

Well I hate the PS3 and I am not biased, so I balance BigRed out if he is Razz and if he isn't then I just back it up a lot.

I love the Wii because of the actual fun part of playing it and the fact I can play retro games on it.

Well the best console is the PS3 because of what it can do.
The best console to own if your more than a casual gamer right now is Xbox 360 because of all the games it has.
The Wii seems to be shaping up to be the best family console.

After seeing Vista and the Xbox 360 work together, all the media and cross platform gaming options you can do...im going to have to say the 360 for its wide range of connectivity

Haven't had the fortune to try out the Wii yet. So far it's the 360 though.
