It is the 4th of july, and as i sit with my flag bandana cutting of the circulation to my brain i ask myself:

Which console is the most American?

After pondering the question quite thoroughly i have concluded it is the Wii.

The wii was quite the underdog at the beginning of the generation but ended up beating the former world power.

The Wii's game library seems to follow:

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Which console do you think is the most American?

I lol'd Seriously, the Xbox 360. It sold the most in America and most multiplats sell more in the Xbox 360 America compared to PS3 America. Although many multiplats sell more in PS3 Europe, Japan, and others.

I am going to have to say the 360 as MS is an American company. I am stunned to see how many people think that the 360 is made in America. All 3 are made in China with Japanese, Tiawanese, and American parts.

in terms of the product...well the 360. it was designed by americans and funded by an american company. but the PC is the platform that closely resembles the ideals of america. lets face it...consoles are platforms ruled by dictators. want to put a different OS on that console....do it and u can be fined. want to run software that wasnt permitted by the manufacturer?. BZZZZ no....go to jail. want to use a different online service from the one provided by the manufacturer. not a chance..if any company so much as tires it they will be shot down. on the PC all are basically equal and all can do what they wish with their PCs (as long as its lawful....piracy or attacking other computers is of course a no no for example). i can use my PC to set up a business and it can compete on a similar level to any big company on the internet for example. it would require alot of work of course but then setting up a business requires alot of work. all businesses are free to compete on the PC on a level playing field, despite the efforts of MS. i dont need a licence or permission to do make applications or develop a website...i am free to make whatever i want in what ever way i want to do it (as long as its not damaging...like a virus). the PC itself also resembles a coming together of many companies from many nations to make a platform that works for as many people as possible. this platform is open so that any company can compete with existing companies in any way they see fit (again as long as its legal :P). its not completly free sadly as intel still hold the power of the X86 licence....but thankfully the dependency on this technology if slowly being reduced. to me thats sounds more like the ideals of america than any console. the PC has its laws and power houses but everyone is free to use, compete, innovate and benefit from the PC and no one has 100% control over it. its a far more democratic platform than any console.

PS3 has the "Install Other OS" option right in the XMB.

So you're only really 2/3rds correct.

But yeah, PC is really the most American.

Yeah but its assembled in China :lol: just like everything else

Just because MS's main headquaters is in the US it doesnt mean its American. Its a transnational company. It works in loads of countries employing people all over the world...

Also the person who said the PC becuase its free like America :lol: god that made my day :lol:

Although the cheap plastic that the 360 is made from, now that is only found in America =P (dw just a joke from topgear)

I didn't say "assembled" in America... Pretty much everything is assembled in China. :P And btw, as you said, the main HQ is in America, therefore M$ should be considered an American company. I don't know how you couldn't consider it an American company

But yeah, PC is really the most American.

ahh but the difference is that the PS3 can do that because sony have allowed it. if sony wanted to, they could patch the PS3 to remove the feature and there would be no recourse. if you wanted to put an Os on it after said update then tough. if you crack the firmware then you can be punished for it. sony also decided to lock off the GPU hardware for the other OSs....so thats not freedom..its just an illusion. the PS3 is the most open and free of the consoles...but thats not saying much. sony arent going to remove that feature of course...there not stupid. but on the PC i am entiteled to put any OS and many OSs on my PC if i wish (assuming i have the licence). i can set them up in any way thats technically possible. no company can stop me from putting linux or windows or another OS on my PC (assuming i bought OSX...i dont think it would be easy to apple to go after me if i got the OS to run on my PC either). sony/MS/ninty can stop me from putting another OS on their console. so the PS3 is still under a dictatorship. i still have to use their OS, their online service and games that they have decreed to be allowed on the PS3. i have no choice.
