360 - online play gives it a giant lead, nothing beats playing online.
Wii - fun when people come over, mario and smash brothers coming out soon, fun to play, gets old after 6 months or so.
ps3 - couple nice games, has the bluray player, I am waiting until it has more good games ...
I own the 360 and wii, dont own a ps3 still, havent seen a reason ....

I'm cool on all of em..........staying out of this round of the hardware wars. I'm hoping the Wii makes nintendo enough money so that they make another machine that competes graphically with the big boys yet still retains the fun factor of the wii. All companies are going to follow the wii controller the next go around.

Wii is awesome. gameplay is unlike anything else b/c of the wii remote, it's truly a unique system with some cool games. I think the gameplay is just going to get better (i.e. master sports games).
360 is a good online system...well rounded games, better graphics than Wii for sure, but not as good as ps3.
PS3 and 360 are kind of similar, some games will be different. PS3 has blu-ray and better graphics, but you need an HD tv to really appreciate it. Good titles finally coming out. Should be a good system
i'd get either the ps3 or 360(since they're kinda similar) and a wii if i had the money and time

Wii is great if you are a bunch of people playing togheter. There are a couple of exciting games coming out.
PS3 is expensive, at least in Norway. But the graphics and games are looking good.
I got my x-box a week ago, and its awesome. The online play is what did it for me. I get bored playing with myself all the time. Pun intended.

What makes you so sure?
I have played the wi and although it's a cool concept, it doesnt hold a candle to a good controller. The remote gets annoying after a while....
Next go around might feature more motion detection, but I doubt all three systems will have a 2 button remote.
We will see...

I'm typing this on my etch-a-sketch.
They're all great in their own way but if you have or plan on getting an HD tv and were to pick one system for the long run....you're getting the best value with a PS3. Very high reliability rate for hardware thus far, free online service that is growing, good games on the horizon, wireless keyboard/mouse support, a web browser, etc. It's expensive because they packed it chock full of capabilities from the start. The media makes it sound like it's doing horrible but it's actually selling comparably to what the 360 did its first year. Their main concern is the lack of software so far.
The 360 has the better multi platform titles thus far, and a more expansive online service for $50/yr. I've heard that MS may make a new version with an internal HD-DVD drive because of their current standard dvd drive's limitations. That would effectively screw over anyone who's gotten a 360 up to this point, so it's up to you if you want to get one now or wait.
Nintendo has a unique controller but a lot of developers are wondering what the future of it is as far as creative content. It's the cheapest of the three but has a disappointing selection of games other than the mascot titles from Nintendo themselves (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.). The new Mario game looks fun as hell; makes me want a Wii for that alone.
All in all though Sony took a gamble with a videogame system/BluRay player/media computer but they're building steam little by little. If the system was going to fail, it would have already. Its main detriment is the titles take longer to program for, which many developers have complained about in the past. They said the same thing about the PS2 though and that system is still selling, and better than the PS3 at that.
I sold my Xbox 360 after I beat Gears of War and got a PS3 shortly afterwards. Its functionality has kept me entertained enough with the lack of AAA software titles. They'll have more of those in the next few months though so it was a good decision on my part.
