I have just played the Wii for the first time. Now that I have had a taste of all three consoles, I can objectively analyze them.

PS3

I was impressed. I only played Motorstorm but the graphics were outstanding. I like the design and I found the controller to be OK. If Home turns out to be as good as hyped and the price comes down a little, this may very well be the system to beat in the future. I say this because I think the PS3 is a little too far ahead of its time. Let's hope it gets some killer apps in the future.

Xbox 360

I love the interface. The menus are sleak. GoW was outstanding. I like the design and I also think the controller is a nice improvement from the last. I know it is not that big of a difference but it seems to fit in the hand better. Gotta give due to Live. Very nice.

Wii

After recently playing this, I must say I had the most fun with this system. Call me a sheep, fanboy or whatever. I don't care. I realized after comparing to the other two, the PS3 and 360 were very fun but seemed like upgrades of the previous systems, IMO. I like the fact Nintendo did something different. This is why I cannot understand why some say it is just another GC. Out of all three consoles, the Wii is the most different from the former gen. I find the Wiimote to be innovate, not a gimmick. Of course, it all depends on the games and the Wii and PS3 have yet to prove themselves. Still, I had the most fun with the Wii. I think it is worth every penny.

So there you have it. I do not claim that I know what will win the console war. I believe, however, Nintendo nailed it this time. I still want a 360 and I feel the PS3 needs to come down in price. So now I guess I'm an official sheep.

I can deal with that.

The PS3 is the only 1 of the 3 to be really a completely new system with the very best technology out there.

The 360 = xbox x 2 and Wii = smaller Game cube. PS3 = PS2 x 8

I have to agree completely.  I do love that 360 controller though.

Never. I have bashed Sony for pricing the PS3 at $600.

Ps2 fans last year, "tech does not matter", PS2 fans this year, "only tech matters".

I agree with you but mainly because I don't like the PS3's lineup and I love the Wii's lineup.. I'm much more fanboyish basically :P

THis sounds pretty honest to me. I came away with the same experiences except for 360, because I haven't played it yet. But I bet he is right here too
