What is the best new gaming system today?

I'm wondering if the Xbox 360, the PS3, or the Wii is the best console to get. Please take into consideration all the technical details, problems, pricing, and availability.

What is the best new gaming system today?
Well no one console is vastly superior to the next, they all have there strengths and weaknesses, forget about hardware and just pick the console with more of the games you like for me thats the wii especially since it has Zelda and the virtual console, but the other two are good choices too the 360 for FPS and the PS3 for the up coming Final Fantasy 13 games.
Reply:ps3 xbox360 and wii i have them all
Reply:I have the xbox 360 and I love it. I think the wii is for your friends and you to play and you have fun. Playstation 3 hmm well I think the controllers are really really light! like seriously I was over at a friends house and she has both ps3 and xbox 360 and i like held one of the controllers and i dont like them but the ps3 has good graphics its your choice but I love my xbox 360
Reply:i would definately say a wii. my grandma has one and it's addicting! Good luck if you can even one, though. But trust me, it's sooo much fun! i think it's around 250, or 200 dollars. AND it has a lot more games then just mario. Targets are proubably the best place to look for it and in the mornings.
Reply:xbox 360 is the best
Reply:id go with the wii, the wii is probily the funest and best consel out now...its the cheapest consel...only $250...the ps3 is so freakin expensive, its not worth it...and the xbox is ok if u cant find a wii id go with 360...but the wii has free wifi,wii shop channel were u can buy classic nintendo games,and good games...as super mario galaxy, super smash bros. brawl and zelda twilight princess....and ive had my wii for a year and a couple months now and its only freezed ONCE so thats pretty good...
Reply:PS3 is a nice console for the long term for people who play a lot and use it for things like music, and watching hd dvds. Sony keeps its customers happy by working hard for them, but they are being trampled by the 360 because of all the games.





The wii the THE best console if you want fun with your family, the downside, no hd/blu-ray player and it is only good for the elderly and young children that do not have a lot of violence and mature scenes.





I personally chose the 360 because its in the middle, good family games, good mature games, and the online play is unmatched by wii or PS3 because there are a lot less glitchers, hackers, and spammers since you only have to pay approximately 5 dollars a month for it. Making it worth the money. I certainly do not agree with microsoft's customer service because of the countless videos on youtube, but if you get the newer consoles and a warranty, you wont have to deal with them.
Reply:in my opinion it is the xbox360. the only negative is you gotta pay for online play(which i currently do). it has the most choice of diverse games.


The ps3 is nice, though it is complicated. online play is free, but good games are just coming out for it. though its price is extremely high.


the wii is ok, i have one of these too. the wii is fun for plp that like lots of mini games because most of wii's games with a storyline are horrible. the wiis are cheapest and have free online play.
Reply:i would get the 360. yea the wii is fun but it doesnt have good playability also the ps3 has a little bit better graphics but most games that come out for the ps3 come out for the 360. also if you decide to get the 400 dollar ps3 you wont be able to play ps2 games :( but the 360 will play most of the xbox games without problem

other facts about the systems


the ps3 is worth the $400 bucks, this year it will rule the console war. it has great titles like devil may cry 4, burnout paradise and heavenly sword. it also has many good games coming out this year like metal gear solid 4, haze, killzone 2, grand theft auto 4, dynasty warriors six and soul calibur 3.





the xbox 360 has crazy amounts of good games. it has gears of war, halo 3, mass effect and many others. if you want a system that has an impressive library this is it and on top of all this you can go on xbox live and kick ***.





The wii is incredibly fun, its games aren't hardcore but they're not boring either. the problem is finding one though but if you do you''ll probably enjoy it more than the other two. two games i had particular fun with were super mario galaxy and metroid prime corruption. also it has super smash bros. brawl coming out soon, which words can't describe how fun it will be.
Reply:The Wii is the cheapest, and online is free, but doesnt have games like Turok or Oblivion..





Xbox 360 is cheaper than PS3, and has games like Turok and Oblivion, but you have to pay for online..





PS3 is the most expensive, but the most powerfull machine, has free online, and has games like Turok and Oblivion..








I could go into more detail, but thats it all in a nutshell :)


If you're into more fun games like Crash Bandicoot or stuff like that, then any of the consoles are good..but the Wii is more fun to play when it comes to those games...but remember i have a Wii :)
Reply:im honestly a fan of the 360. I have no problem paying to play the games online it helps keep the game servers running fast and keeps a lot of unwanted people out. the wii is a fun system but its more of a novilty and it wears off after about 2 months, also its still extreemly hard to find in most areas.
Reply:i think even thouh the graphics arn't as goot the wii. just has more to it
Reply:i say its the wii. its hard to get your hands on one, but if your determined its not impossible at all. It doesnt have a huge choice of games right now, but it is receiving more M and T games nowadays. Online is also free, and is more fun than you can imagine at parties.





If your looking to buy, I would grab a Wii before anything else.
Reply:my personal favorite is the ps3. the wii is always out of stock and has the same type of games - they always seem to be mario something etc, the 360 you have to pay money to do most stuff, and the ps3 has the best specs, has recently come down in price, has features as standard and free that you would have to pay for if you had an xbox, eg online gaming , hard drive, plus it also has good games.
