I'm sure we can think of a 100 reasons why each of 3 main consoles are great but in this thread I want to see which console you guys think has enough flaws to be the most disliked. BTW I would say hate but it's such a strong word, no console should be hated :D at the same time no console is perfect and each of the 3 console has flaws.

When you make you're choice please back you're answer with a strong reason, nothing like 'I hate teh MS' or 'Sony killed ma dog'. You know what I mean.

360 has the most legitimate reasons.

The fact that Microsoft hasn't fixed RROD yet.

my 360 got so loud at one point it was ludicrous. a few sprays with a can of compressed air though and no its only slightly annoying, almost zero noise now when playing a installed game.

PS3 is not similar to PS2 man.

Anyways one could probably make a legit case on all of the consoles depending on their situation. I wouldn't be surprised to hear things go anyway.

More legitimate reasons than the wii being nothing but a crappy refurbished gamecube?

For me its the Wii because of its control scheme, lack of power and games that don't appeal to me. The other 2 come an equal second, the 360 because of its RROD and the PS3 because of price and (this might make a few people mad but what the hey) the small group of insufferable fanboys that seem like they would lay down their lives for it.

Hmm, here's how I see it. XBOX 360: -Red Ring of Death -Pay for XBOX Live in general PlayStation 3: -Price is WAY too high Wii: -Not enough good games, not even from Nintendo -Friend Codes for most online games So I'd say Wii and 360 as a draw.

The Wii is pretty much the enemy of most people here, however I find PS3 users more annoying.

How can you guys say you hate a console because of its games? That's not the consoles fault!

I hate the 360 because of RROD and other problems

I hate the PS3 because it is way to big.

I hate the Wii because it has friend codes and is a weaker system.

No, because the system can't control what goes on it. If the OP was saying which COMPANY then it would be different, but it is the actual physical system.

sorry, but that's semantics. nowhere did the TC say that game libraries don't count as a reason. the poll says "which console has more reasons to dislike it?" - console library is a reason, and really one of the best reasons i can think of.

I think the 360 simply for the reason that even people who actually like the console will have hated it at one point if it's been RRoD. I havn't come close to hating any other consoles.

I don't hate any console just the The console makers because of the policies on how they treat gamers and games in general.

I.E.

Nintendo

then the begain this generation said they built the wii with the purpose of reaching out to non-gamers and casuals in the world. With that statement, over every other knock against the system that can be made against the wii, made the system fail in my eyes.

Microsoft

View gameing and gamers in general as nothing more than one big money hat. They show absloutly no care for gamers or games for the system other than the money they can absorbe from the pockets of their consumers.

  • Saying Online gameing is the primary focus of xbox360 and next gen gameing n then telling it's customers they have to pay an annual subscription fee in order to access it when other companies offer it free? CHECK

  • Closing down internal game studios to focus to focus on multiplatform games and buying out old exclusives on other consoles instead of creating new origianl projects for it's home fanbase to enjoy? CHECK

  • Makeing system a closed off platform where developers can't implament mods and other free developers given add-ons without MS charging an additional fee to customers? CHECK

  • Creating over priced perifrials forceing customers to pay outragious prices for basic componets of the system because MS didn't provide the ablility to buy off market brand products for their system? CHECK

  • Created a habbit of only releasing quality games during one season (holiday *money season*) of the year while leaving the rest of the year basically dry? CHECK

IMO MS has by far the worse customer/game policies of any game company in history and far worse then nintendo this gen. Their policies is what makes people have more reasons to dislike the xbox360, not the system itself.

So for me MS/xbox360

I'll say PS3 because it has the most problems that worried me for getting it, although I don't regret getting now.

Wii, terrible games, underpowered, shovelware, but it's good for families who don't want blood n guts profanity titles. It's pretty fun with the Wii motion plus and some games are actually fun. Xbox360 not to far behind with it's greed.... Real $ for avatar clothes... $7 for a storm trooper outfit?! You don't have to buy it, but people do buy it which turns the gears in the heads of the greedy CEO's. I wonder what they are going to come up with next.

I reckon each of the 3 consoles have enough great titles in their library to make such a reason to dislike the console pointless. I'm sure if any gamer looks hard enough they can find a reason to buy any of the consoles based on the games library.

certainly, but we are talking opinions here. for example, someone might really like the Wii's lineup, and feel the 360's lineup has too many shooters. on topic, i'd say hardware-wise, my biggest complaint is with the 360. though i think the failure rate is exaggerated, i still think its unacceptable. on the other side, i think that PSN is terrible in comparison to XBL, fee or not. and i find the Wii's lack of 3rd party support quite disconcerting.
