PSN and XBLA have AAA games too. Anyway between Wiiware and PSN, I think PSN has better games. The Wiiware lineup seems to be lacking in a way, through I did enjoy World of Goo and Swords and Soldiers.

i don't use wiiware (for some reason the wii has horrible wifi connection with our router even if it's 1 foot away)

between XBLA and PSN:

PSN has some cool interesting "different" titles

but XBLA easily wins by having lots more titles you'd want to play more than once and everything has a trial demo (whereas on PSN only a few games have demos)

All really good. I think Wiiware has a bit of an edge, but XBLA and PSN are no slouches either.

Xbox Live Arcade. If Virtual Console counts, then Wiiware wins.

Call it selective reading/viewing if you want, but outside of Braid, Shatter, and Castle Crashers, I've heard absolutely zip about PSN and XBLA so I'm going to default with WiiWare. :P

Wiiware and VC are considered different services.

Xlive and PSN have equally good games, but since I only use PSN now I voted for PSN.

Wrong, the other services have AAA games too (higher than Wiiware too). Also, World of Goo is up there for most overated game this gen. Its good but hardly a 9 in my opinion.

I voted PSN, but then I realized it was referring to games.

Obviously WiiWare. The only PSN game I can think of is Fat Princess, and for 360 I can't think of any good games.

Edit:

Oh yeah, there are some other games I have on my PS3. Such as Wipeout.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to give the boring manticore answer and say they're all great. WiiWare doesn't hold a candle to the PlayStation Store or XBLA (despite gems such as a Boy and his Blob), but the Virtual Console more than makes up for it. The PlayStation Store is slightly lacking on the third party support front and give me XBLA's Indie Games over the PS minis any day of the week, but on the other hand, the PS1 classics selection is wonderful, PS3 games such as Wipeout HD, the PixelJunk series, Rag Doll Kung Fu and others more than hold their weight and I just appreciate being able to play the games I PAID FOR while my system is offline.

A boy and his blob isn't a wiiware game...unless you mean the NES orginal which is pretty bad.

Id probably have to go with XBLA simply because of the rare ports of there older titles (jetpac, banjo kazooie series, ghoulies, and soon to be Perfect dark) plus other awesome actual new releases like SHadow Complex and Worms. However Id put PSN in a really close second with amazing games like Quest For Booty, the Pixeljunk games and FLower.

Worms isn't really a new release.

And don't forget Shatter on PSN.

I like all of them. Non is considered better to me...but World of Goo is pretty overrated. But pretty much all the other wii ware games are underrated.

Modest selection of games compared to the other two systems, the service isn't supported well, Nintendo has stringent limits on how much space the game can take, which greatly restrains what the developer can create (WiiWare games aren't as fleshed out as those on the HD consoles), the layout is convoluted, and the games for the most part are pretty bad.
