I know there's a thread about this but I have to do this for a class and it won't count if I just take someone else's thread so if some gamers out there would tell me what console you own/prefer and why that would be great. It would be great if you could also give me some hardware reasons b/c it is for engineering:

Wii
Ps3
Xbox

I own all 3 systems, and I rank them

PS3
360
Wii

I like the PS3 best because of it's controller, the blu-ray player, and free online. They're pretty much equal in terms of games. Wii isn't in HD, so I don't really ever play it (i'm spoiled by hi def)

I voted PS3, and I would gladly list my reasons down but they are very subjective and I doubt they would be suitable for a school project.

I would prefer the Xbox 360, because there are many games that I would want to play that the Xbox 360 has compared to the PS3.

I also own all 3 but I have much love for the 360 due to the online play, graphics and slower loading times (im quite impatiant)
My PS3 comes second and the Wii last due to less games on it that I enjoy playing

Gooooo Xbox <3 but I think at the very end it comes down to personal taste!

And Welcome to the forum =)

I feel that each has it's application and place.. but personally feel the PS3 suits what I want best. While, to be honest, I feel the Xbox 360 is a overall "better" (with all things considered) system than the Wii, I personally prefer the Wii over the Xbox 360... but most of my reasoning is gaming related, not hardware related. If you wanna hear it, just ask and I'll run through that tangent!

But, the PS3 has the "best" hardware over the others (most powerful processing.) PS3 and Xbox have HD display over the Wii, the PS3 won huge perks when BluRay became the standard over Xbox's hopes for HDDVD, and the PS3 (generally) has more powerful processing components than the Xbox 360.

The article that other_are_there posted is GOLD - that should really help you with your project. +1 to that!

I do not own a PS3 or Wii, but I have played the Wii extensively. My vote probably shouldn't count due to the naturally biased opinion of not playing the PS3.

Regardless, comparing the Wii and Xbox360 is like reading a comic book and an actual book. The Xbox360 is far more mature than the Wii. Yes, it has kids games, and now with Kinect it's getting a little more...well...young for me...or maybe I'm getting too old!

Again, Xbox360 because it's a good console for adults.
