let me be the first one to give my opinion..

Like/Love:

Wii or Nintendo - Innovative Controls, New Experience of Gaming, my Parents and Sisters can play with me too and Gamecube BC ^^

PS3 or Sony -RPGs, Series (coming Final Fantasies and Squaresoft games ^^) umm Graphics? ^_^

and stays ALIVE LONGER! (in Sony's case or PS2's Case, on PS3, hopefully will not die early unlike Nintendo's Gamecube.. see my Wii/Nintendo's Dislike post below you'll know what i mean ^^)

XBOX360 or Microsoft - maybe for FPS lovers (but im not an FPS lover hehe) (and not a XBOX fan ^^)

Dislike/Hate:

Wii or Nintendo - im really worried about this matter.. (here i mean Nintendo) i hope will not be like Gamecube.. Early died.. (unlike PS2.. still releasing new games) (this is what i mean above, "PS3/Sony's LIKE" hehe ^^)

PS3 or Sony - umm.. NO Final Fantasy YET ^^, or no good games yet.. imo (i mean more RPGs ^^ bias opinion on FF hehe)

and umm ofcourse.. price ^^

XBOX360 or Microsoft - more FPS less RPGs T_T

Like/Love:

Wii or Nintendo - Innovative Controls, Ninty's 1st party games, my girlfriend and non-gaming friends play along.

PS3 or Sony -Blu-Ray movies, many exclusive games (Ratchet series, Resistance, LBP, etc) and they are making many new IPs this gen it seems, which I enjoy alot, and PSN Home looks inventive.

XBOX360 or Microsoft - Halo, XBL, some really great console exclusives (I am not a PC gamer, so I cannot get them elsewhere)

Dislike/Hate:

Wii or Nintendo - Lack of great 3rd party software and they seem to have no plan when it comes to online play.

PS3 or Sony - Lack of "Must own" titles (most are rental length), delays to software I really want! (LBP looking at you!)

XBOX360 or Microsoft - RRoD and paying for Live.

Hmmm. 360 I like for having so many of PS2 series next gen games, plus Banjo 3. Makes me not need a PS3. Dislike risk of RROD, and paying for Live.

Wii I like for GC backwards compatability, Virtual Console, multiplayer, 1st party games, and the odd 3rd party gem offering unique gameplay. Dislike crappy graphics and PS2 ports...

PS3 I like for Blu Ray, and MGS4. Dislike for lots of reasons :P

Wii---Nothing I like about it. I think it is a last gen system that arrived very late to the game.

Xbox 360---I would like to play Mass Effect and thats it. I won't own one, because I expect more from my hardware. The 360 is a very unreliable piece of crap.

PS3---I will own one in a few weeks. I will be getting Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Oblivion, Ratchet & Clank, and Burnout. Thinking of getting Resistance.

I have no complaints about nintendo or microsoft but it was sony's over-the-top arrogance and blatant lies about the PS3 that turned me off from sony. I was a ps2 owner and wanted a ps3 but they ruined it for me.

Like:
Wii: A lot of the games are fun and even people who are terrible at games can pick up and play. Games are $10 cheaper.

PS3: Free online, wifi, standard HDD, upgradable HDD, controllers charge from the console, Blu Ray, great BC for those of us who have 60GB sku. Also a decent variety of exclusives and Bluetooth support.

360: Large game library. Mic and component cables come in the box. Arguably the best online community in terms of organization and content (the users on the other hand are total buffoons most of the time).

Dislikes:
Wii: I'm still not convinced it is worth my money. Controls seem gimmicky and tacked on in many games. The average game is only fun for a gamer for a few hours (imo).

PS3: Development costs keep pushing back dates of games. Many big games still are not out yet (I've been waiting 3 years for some of these games). $599 when I bought it. Devs are treating it like Xbox last gen.

360: Even though the library has variety only the shooters are really marketed properly. Still hardware problems. Many former exclusives are on the PC or will be.

:lol: seriously. If you don't buy a product because of what the PR people say then wow. I can understand not buying a product because the particular company has wronged you in the past but letting PR people decide whether you're going to buy a product or not is like not buying or buying a console based on the fanboy hype.

For the books, I like all 3 (have or had all 3)

Wii ($249 no extra cost for on line play)= Whats not to like about the Wii, for what it is, the lil thing is tight. Graphics wise, it was never suppost to be like the PS3/360. Web browers, WiFi (some games are on-line), whats not to like, is it because of the kid games? if you have kids, you can play with your kids (Is that a bad thing?) I personaly want Wii Fit. For me, I think the Wii has the best concept, hand down. THE WII IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY, a lot of people forget that.

PS3 ($399 and $499, no extra cost for on line play)= The PS3 has everything, Web browers, WiFi, bluetooth, rechargable controllers, Blu-Ray, upgradeable hard drive, 20,60,80gb modles has BC, on-line play and a on-line store, it might not be like the 360's with the movies and T.V shows, but it still have it. I look pass the games because I know there coming, the PS2 had a slow start as well, it might not have as many games as the 360, but the 360 is also 3 years old, the PS3 is 1 year old.

360 ($279, $349, $449 plus $50 for a year of on-line play which equal $399 and $499)= More games, better on-line community with chatting, between the 360 and PS3, on-line gaming is the same. More negativity then anything surround the 360, basically the RRoD and read disk error overshine the good things about the 360. With the add ons like WiFi and everything else, to really get what you want out if it, it will cost more to own a 360.

This is my unbaised review

Wii: like its games, like controls a lot. hate online and FC

PS3: like blu-ray, free good online, FFvs13 looks sick. Hate price, lenght of the controller wings(you know the part that presses against your palms, that sticks out under the dpad/buttons).

360: like games (few though...). Hate: paying for online, RROD, noise, ridiculous prices for hard drives and wifi (100 = biggest ripoff since solar powered flashlight).

Ilove Ps3 and Wii. Only one I dislike is 360 because the hardware is absolute trash, lacks things that the other two have, and they charge for online.

Things I Like

Wii: Was cheap, is very fun to play, offers different experience then 360 and PS3 and the 1st party games are great.

360: Amazing games, i'm on XBL all the time, and XBLA is really fun.

PS3: Free Online (even if its not as good as XBL), Bluray, Reliability(unlike 360), a lot of potential with the hardware.

Things I DisLike

Wii: Other then MP3 and SMG the Wii's tech make it seem really weak, weres the good 3rd party support?, and friend codes just suck.

Xbox 360: the chance of getting RROD

PS3: Still a little to much for me, the BC on the new models isnt full anymore, still no must have AAA exclusive.

I don't dislike any of the conxoles. But I like some more than others. No system is perfect this generation. Even with the Wii's clear sales lead it will still be hated by many because of it's "new gen" emphasis. Xbox 360 has real reliability issues and does nothing different than it's predecessor in terms of gameplay mechanics. PS3 does everything well but does nothing better than 360 in terms of graphics and nothing better than Wii in terms of gameplay. So yeah, a PC and a Wii is all you need this time around.
