The Wii is the best console becuase:
- It has the widest variety of party games such as Super Smash Bros Brawl, Boom Blox, Wario Ware Shake It, Mario Party, Monkey Ball, and more. In addition its reverse compatibility allows access to all the Gamecube games as well.

- It has the largest service for downloading games, sporting more than 250 titles of cla$$ic favorites no longer available new on store shelves, and new innovations via Wiiware.

- It has motion controls which could usher in a new age of gaming and open up grand possibilities.

- It has 4 types of controllers giving the widest potential variety for gameplay $tyles.

- It is the cheapest of the TV plug-in consoles.





The PS3 is the best console because:
- It is the most complete media center on the Market, capable of playing Bluray Discs, DvDs, Sound and Video Files as well as games. For the price it's a real bargain.

- Its wireless controller combines motion control and traditional control into one. They also have built in long lasting rechargable batteries.

- Online Play is free and doesn't require codes to access other players.

- Has hard working first party developers that produce games with "Next Gen" high definition visuals and sounds. These games are exclusive and will likely not be available for the PC anytime down the road. In addition it has a few exclusive third party titles that are highly critically acclaimed (Like MGS4.)

- It has near-complete backward compatibility with Playstation One games and select consoles (for those lucky enough to score one) have compatibility with Playstation 2 games giving the PS3 potentially the highest number of games to choose from retroactively.




The Xbox 360 is the best console because:
- It has the largest library of games that sport "Next Gen" visuals and sounds on a console.

- It boasts the largest online console player base, meaning it's easy to find friends to play with.

- The Achievement system was something that was included from the start, and every game produced for the 360 is required to utilize it, adding extra replay value to jaded games. Your achievements are displayed on your profile so other players can see your elite gaming skills.

- Has the largest selection of new downloadable titles available via Xbox live arcade

- Has excellent customer support, and will never charge for repairs if the console is under warranty. Also comes with a 3 year warranty.





The Nintendo DS is the best Handheld Console because:
- It is reverse compatible with a wide selection of Gameboy Advance games

- It has touch screen controls which opens up a lot of variety potential.

- It has indeed the best variety of games to choose from, ranging from puzzle games to RPGs to Action games and FPSs. And of course it has staple Nintendo first party games.








The Sony PSP is the best Handheld Console because:
- It is compatible with several types of media, including MP3, MP4 and Flash, which allows you to listen to music, watch movies, and play downloaded games on your handheld aside from playing UMD produced media

- It is currently the most powerful handheld console, able to produce graphics at almost the level of PS2 games.

- It can use Remote Play to connect to a PS3 and access PSone Discs, Downloaded Titles, and select PS3 games to play on the handheld via wireless anywhere in the world.

Nintendo Wii 48% [25]

Playstation 3 13% [7]

Xbox 360 17% [9]

Nintendo DS 2% [1]

Sony Playstation Portable 19% [10]



So if we're only discussing the poll, the consoles are, from best to worst so far:

1. Nintendo DS
2. Playstation 3
3. Xbox 360
4. Playstation Portable
5. Nintendo Wii




Discussing the actual post though, do you agree with all my points? Disagree?

How is this a social experiment? Are you testing anything? Is there a hypothesis?

It'll be Wii followed by PS3. Why? Because the people who visit system wars are ultra core fanboys who never play Wii games apprently...

It has a bunch of great games...

Thats not necessarily true, the reason I said the Wii is because it doesn't have the games I like, the Wii, for the most part, has more party / kiddy games, I don't prefer those types of games, my kids however, love the Wii.

At first i thought You were talking about the best console, so i was surprised to see people respond with the wii.
I think 360 is the worst. There's a combination of things that make it the worst for me. I don't like its lineup, pay to play online, controller, the thoughts behind the console, its look and the hardware faults.
The wii is the best for me, because it's so different to any other system, it is cheap, lots of variety and makes people aware of things that they'd otherwise overlook, like the quality of games past.
I haven't met anyone who agrees with me though :P

From how I see it :

360, PS3 at equal footing in the home console wars.

DS a clear winner in the handheld category.

PSP is a solid 2nd place in the handheld wars, but definitely with its fair share of decent titles.

Forget about even mentioning the Wii >.>.

I only say that the 360 has the largest library of "Next Gen" games and qualify that by meaning that it has high definition graphics and sound because the Wii has a far greater library of games, though most of them are not "next gen" by HD expectations.
