xbox360 vs ps3

I have no experience with PS3 but I have played Wii and XBox 360. It is rumored that PS3 won't be getting as many games as wii and xbox.
Between the 2 I have experience with here are the differences besides the obvious:
Xbox is a better one for playing by oneself or 1 other person, while Wii is a group experience, playing Wii alone is totally lame and with one other person it gets a little old.

Apparently the WII is outselling both.

I have a Wii and if you just want to have fun (which is what gamming should be about IMHO) then I thoroughly recommend one.
BTW, playing Zelda on your own is definitely NOT lame!

14th on the all time list plus owning a Wii means you can also play numbers 1, 3 & 4!

My preference: the 360.

Though perhaps it's not the most powerful machine, it has a far superior Live service and the exclusives are much more to my taste...the benefits outweigh it all.

Plus if you look around the gaming sites, the 360 generally has much more support. The PS3 hasn't really got any good titles out...Resistance if you're into same-same shooters (yes i've played it), and perhaps Okami.

I'm not saying it's a bad system, I'm just saying that for the extensive gamer's purpose, the 360 is cheaper and most likely ultimately better. Two of my friends have all 3 next gens and hardly ever touch their PS3...

And personally, I hated all 3 of my experiences with the Wii...

But that's just me I'm guessing, judging by the sales.

360 until Sony picks up steam later this year.
I'm buying one soon.

IMO: Xbox 360 is the best system to get right now. PS3 will be right up there, but will take 1-2 years to develop the game library to stand on that level. As for the Wii, I could say a lot, but I'll simply leave it at: "Don't get it."

Assuming Sony can hold on to its exclusives or near-exclusives (think Grand Theft Auto and its delayed releases on Xbox), once it gets going, PS3 is going to be a powerhouse. There are many great series that will (I think) continue on the PS3, including Devil May Cry, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, and GTA. When those start releasing their PS3 versions, it will be the obvious system to get, at least in my eyes.

None of em right now.. but if i ever gona buy one of em it will be a Wii but that will probobly not hapen in some years if ever. Im more of a computer game player the games for the comp is simply much cheaper and always last 100% longer.

the wii is the most fun any of this generation of gaming systems. it has great graphics too, just not as good as ps3...but when i play video games, fun is more important than realism. and it's by far the best system to play with your friends.

grand theft auto IV will be released simultaneously on 360 and PS3, and Final Fantasy now has it's own side of 360 (a.k.a. different and later-realsed launches of Final Fantasy games will be developed for the system). God of War is on PS2, and Resident Evil 5 is due out on 360 by the end of the year.

I'm not biased as I said, and I haven't picked up a gaming magazine in 2 months or so...so this could all have changed...but as far as I know...this is it.
