Console me in times of need

oooh an attempt at a clever title.

anyhow, I was wondering. I am someone who, despite not having a penny to knock together, has manage to get his hands on each of the modern consoles and a selection of older consoles.

So I went shopping today for the new sonic game, lame I know but I had fun playing it today so nerrrrr. Anyway, my girlfriend asked me to get it on ps3, because we don't have many ps3 games.

This lead me to thinking about why I but games for specific consoles and indirectly about, what console would I get rid of if i had to and most importantly why would i keep the other console/s.

So this is for those of you like me who own all 3 of the main home consoles. What ones would you keep and for what reasons?

Now I personally would have a hard time selling any as Ive got paid for content on all 3.

But I would Keep the ps3 for the quality of the system overall (helps that is blu-ray and the backwards compatible modal on ps1 and 2)

Yet saying that I would keep the xbox 360 for fighters, achievements and xbox live.

I suppose the wii is the only one that's hard to find a reason to keep, aside from the fact the exclusive games that are good, ARE REALLY F******G GOOD

So I would buckle in seconds and ask you to buy my cat or something instead. :/

Altho I do not think it is something any of us can guide you though (has to be your own feelings towards each console that makes the choices).

I will give my takes on the 3 consoles with my time with them.

The Wii: well, to put it blunt, the Wii is fairly inexpensive, it has few games, but as you said they are REALLY good, and skywards comes out, it is the only UNIQUE console this gen, so I would Ironically keep it.

Leaving the PS3 and the 360, these two are so similar that it in my mind would be between those, which of them you get rid of.

Most of thier titles are the same, and they perform nearly identical.

So for me I would consider, how the online feels for you, what controller you like the best, and what system your friends use.

I had a 360 the first year of this gen (it broke tho, and NOT due to the RROD), but I never rebought it, the online capabilities sucked over here, and I allready had a good pc, so the 360 did not really have any games I would want except console exclusives, so when the store asked if I would take a PS3 instead (The 360 sold like insane over here at launch, the PS3 did not, despite them being nearly same price point, and yeah we pay ALOT for our consoles

-.-) I jumped on it, It was before the PS3 exclusives really came out, so it did not factor in at the time, just that the PS3, were a capable Blu-Ray player, and it allready did share console games with the 360 back then, and none of them seemed to be on PC aswell.

So My choice were a personal preference, as you can see, not something that could help you.

To be honest tho, it sounds like you REALLY enjoy the 360 :) so I would likely keep that over the PS3, which you did not sound all tho thrilled about. Life is about the choices we make afterall, that is one of the things that make each of our lifes unique ;)
