Let me start:

Xbox 360:

- Game Room: The cost of the games is too high for what is a collection of antiquated games. This should have been free and ad sponsored. Expect game room to die a slow death.

- Kinnect: Interesting and different, but ultimately limited to party games and gimmicks. I might get this as a joke, but the PS Move is making me sell my Wii. I am also getting Dead Space 2 on PS3 which is a big shift from my usual strategy to get multiplats on the 360. Microsoft should have stuck to some type of a physical controller.

PS3:

- Playstation Home: Aside from being a big chat room and a cool place to spend 15 min on occasion, PS home offers nothing of value. Some potential existed with this but so far nothing has panned out. We need a real reason to visit Home, other than watching guys trying to pick up men pretending to be women. lol

The HD-DVD drive for the 360, a reminder of why consoles should never have add ons.

Wii -

  • Wii music
  • No quality control over the laughably bad Shovelware on it.

360-

  • Milkage XBL
  • Basically a ghost town when it comes to exclusives.
  • Wasting $$$ on timed exclusives
  • Kinect
  • No built in wifi for 5 year :|:|

Nintendo Wii

  • Online - It's not good. Lag in almost every game I have and then little to no lag with Friend Codes. what?
  • Quality Control - The Shovel Ware right?
  • Download Service - How come the 360 and PS3 get a Game like Braid but not the Wii?

Xbox 360

  • Online - I HAVE TO FREAKIN' PAY????
  • Controller - Hold up.....you're telling me I have to buy my own Rechargeable battery packs?
  • Wifi - I have to what now? Buy a Wifi Adapter? What?

PS3

  • Online - Why can't it be just a little bit better?
  • Hardware - WHY DOES IT FAIL???
  • Backwards Compatiblity - No PS2 Games BUT PS1 GAMES???

Yeah, I've gotta jump on board as well. Two perfectly unnecessary ideas.

Oh yeah, forgot about the Xbox 360 HD-DVD and Wii online mode, both of which I had first hand experiences with, neither of which was good.

"Oh my 360 failed, no matter I'm still within the 3 year warrenty!"

"Oh my PS3 failed....wait I have to pay what now? Hold on...WHAT???? THAT MUCH??? Oh ok I guess that's what I get for being out of the Warrenty."

"Oh cool my PS3 is back and it's better than...(fails) WHAT THE???? I THOUGHT SONY FIXED IT!?"

That's what I mean by Hardware fail.

i was going to return and mention nintendo WFC as a whole, but sure :P friend codes is a nice concept gone wrong. and while nintendo WFC isn't exactly "bad", it's far worse than the other two... ALTHOUGH they let me buy games regardless of where i'm from, unlike sony and their "your PSN account is registered to brazil, you can't enter the PSN store. you can't change your address either, we at sony believe people never move away" >___________>

PS3: have to install many games, too many shooters

Wii: Nintendo's games are expensive, built-in storage isn't very much, but is easily overcome, so I guess it's a non-issue, also, having to recalibrate the Wiimote in some games gets irritating

DS: a lot of games are hard to find and new ones go out of print almost immediately, top screen size and weight make using the L & R buttons kinda ackward and I hate using them on DS games

PSP: battery life is terrible, don't like the analog nub, it's very uncomfortable

PS3: Removed other OS. I was going to put Linux on there and use it as a media center.
