What's your favourite System this generation and why?

I just think it'd be interesting to see the favourite system of each System Wars member.

My favourite system is the PS3. I started this generation being a Wii only owner but I always planned on buying a PS3 since I owned a PS1 and a PS2, I just wanted the console to get cheaper. The PS3 appeals to me in many ways. First of all, it's pretty good as a multimedia device. The blu-ray player is very useful since I do like to watch movies. I don't use the features but being able to put music and videos onto the harddrive is also useful. Being a PS1 and PS1 owner, I prefer the controller. I'm used to the positions of the analogue sticks, I love the D-Pad and I prefer the triggers. They feel weird but on my PS2 controller, the triggers used to get stuck a lot and that doesn't happen on the new controller.

The PS3 exclusives also appeal to me more than the exclusives of other systems. Series like Uncharted, GoW, Killzone and LBP are unmissable imo and I'm also a big GT fan. From what I've seen, XBL is better than PSN but being a student, money is important so PSN also appeals to me more than XBL. The Wii has served me well but due to it lacking some of the multiplats that the other systems have, it stops it from being my favourite system. I'm not much of a PC gamer but if I did have a powerful PC, I think it would definitely give my PS3 a run for it's money in being my favourite system.

Anyway, enough about me, SW, what is your favourite system this generation and why?

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] I seem to like all gaming systems, and almost equally- but my preferences push the DS several rungs above the others.fabz_95

Soooo.... you like something that's not even released yet? :?

I've always been interested in the game but I haven't played it.

Was it released in the US/UK? What about you, have you played the game?

Mine would be the wii:

- Its a reliable system,its never failed on me unless I did it myself. In that one situation, Nintendo covered the entire cost and had it back to me very quickly.

- Motion controls, what else needs saying?

- Doesn't force you to have motion controls, almost all games allow you to customize the controls.

- Nintendo has a long heritage of quality First party titles.

- Full Backwards compatability, it can play every GCN game without any issue.

- Some would disagree, but I feel it has the best online downloading service, the console itself is completely wireless. Overall, the downloadable games Nintendo offers are simply better, especially since classics from pats systems are available.

- I've always felt that the Wii has a more enjoyable local multiplayer.

The Nervous System, as I do not know what I would do without it. Literally, I think I would die otherwise

Less seriously uhm...I guess I have played the 360 most this generation, so that might be my favourite? The PS3 is definitely my mistress though, with the Wii as my backup and PC as my safety

I love my PS3. Though my PC gets a lot of love too.

But mainly my PS3. =)

I actually had a period where I was doubting my $600 investment.

After Uncharted 2 I question no more. =D

[QUOTE="fabz_95"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] It wasn't released in the west, but the Japanese version was all English, so it is very import friendly. I haven't played it myself, I'm thinking of buying it, and I was hoping you'd have played it, and would be able to tell me how it is.charizard1605

That's a really tough question.

As I just came into PC gaming it's literally neck and neck between PS3 and PC

I Would give it to PS3 for the only reason due to a few more friends(IRL) play with me on PSN.

And due to games like U2, Demons Souls, 3D Dot Hero's and so on. But PC is just a hair behind. So it's really hard to chjoose.

PC. Any type of control you want (K/M, Controller, Joystick, etc), huge back catalog of games, and tons of features you can't do on consoles (proper internet browsers, office programs, Photoshop, etc.)

Um, I guess PS3? siLVURcross

I have 3 consoles that I play very evenly. My PS3, DS and Wii. Honestly it is a really hard choice between all 3 of them. My history with Nintendo games kind of nudges out the PS3, as my history with Sony I would say, is Jak, Sly and Ratchet. Out of those, Sony has only given me Ratchet, and ToD, has made it hard for me to get back into the series. The DS has Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, Pokemon and other games I love. The problem with that is, outside of Pokemon, I am not a big RPG fan, which makes it hard to choose games outside of that genre. The Wii is one of the only consoles I have had where almost every exclusive makes me want to buy it. 3rd party and 1st. So I guess I'll go with Wii.

even though I love all my systems I'd have to say my 360 is my favorite, I just love the whole interface of the menus, the online system, and it has some of my favorite games this gen, plus I buy most multiplats for it as well. I still love my PS3 though it probably has my favorite first party gams out there.

PS3 is the only right answer, the 360 has been failing hard all gen long, it lives off multiplats and nickles and dimes you way too much. The Wii really doesn't even compete, it's like a side dish, the PS3 is the real deal. FriendlyGaimz

PS3 is my favorite console and PC is my favorite system.

I base my fav of the gen for the system which I own the most games for. For consoles that would be the Wii. HarlockJC

The Wii. Reason: Nintendo games.Litchie

[QUOTE="siLVURcross"]Um, I guess PS3? fabz_95

The PS3 because I like the controller and its exclusives appeal to me moreso than the other systems. Don't really use Blu-ray too often, but the online multiplayer being free is a plus.

I would have to go with my PC in terms of the choices that are available for this system, with my Nintendo DS a close second for keeping me occupied on those long road trip.

PS3 because its the one I bought

Gotta give it up to my PC.

None of the consoles compete with the sheer amount of games the PC gets (many of which are exclusives which are a dying breed on the PS3/360).

I love mod communities too. I especially love to see console gamers criticize a game for it's short length while I have enjoyed many hours with mods for those games.

And, to keep me from drooling on myself I'll just keep the rest of the reasons short.

• Cheaper games
• Keyboard/mouse
• Free online
• Steam
• Online communities that last
• No heavy influence from advertising (I love chatting with PC gamers about even the most obscure games, and I love to see communities sprout up for these games. The console gamers I know tend to care only about the most hyped upcoming games which puts a big frown on my face)
• More bang for my buck - No denying it. PC actually does everything. I didn't pay $600 for only sub-hd graphics, and a blu-ray player.
• Graphics
• Developer support
