I'm about to buy my first gaming console but I cant decide which would be a better choice?

Please, i'm just looking for biased opinions and facts. I'm not trying to start arguments that will never be solved.

I'm just wondering which console looks to have a brighter future

Some of my questions are which console has better graphics, more content, and so on?

Well, for brighter future: PS3. It has many more games planned for the future at the moment, and is on the up and up. Better graphics? PS3, but mainly only for exclusive titles. More content? I'd say its a tie between the 360 and PS3. 360 offers a lot of stuff with its Live online stuff, but the PS3 has a larger variety of features outside of gaming that matches the 360's stuff. As for other stuff: Most for your money: PS3 (by a lot) Online Gaming: 360 (but you have to pat for it. PS3 you don't) Single Player Gaming: Wii and PS3 tie Really it comes down to what TYPE of game you want. Shooters and racing games are dominant on the 360. PS3 has a good amount variety of genres and experiences to choose from within it's top titles. The Wii has more arcade like games (can be fun, but doesn't have much depth in the game) with the exception of a few of their long time franchises. I'd suggest getting an idea of what you like before buying in regards to genre before you commit to any purchase.

PS3 if you want excellent variety of single-player games

Xbox 360 if you want epic multiplayer

Well, that set is more tuned towards the PC crowd. If you'd be willing to invest in getting a good gaming PC, you'd be set. Its not a console, but still. Though JRPGs are easily at their best on the DS, if that makes a difference.

In b4 teh lock.

I think you should buy all 3 consoles and both handhelds. Just because the more, the merrier.

Then you can make your own decision. Come back to tell us which one.

PC if you have the money (About $500-$600 for a good rig). Excells at everything excep JRPG's, though there are a few indie ones makign it over.

Otherwise I would say the PS3. It has the most consistent line up of exclusives, about par with the PC this year at least, and has either the same or slightly better graphics than the 360 in msot cases.

It's also the best console companion to any other systems you mgiht get in the future.

IMHO: Anyone hwo considers themselves a serious gamer, who's hobby is gaming should have:

1. A gaming PC

2. A console either is fine, but the PS3 offers the most exclusive counterparts, IMHO. The Wii is also a good choice.

3. a portable paltform like the DS or even an ipad/iphon/ipod touch.

Otherwise you are missing out.

wow you are late.

anyways, get a ps3, this year is packed with awesome exclusives, it already has a huge library of games and offers the most variety.

360 is just for FPS.

if its your first console get a ps3 it offers the most variety.

Considering the stream of profanity, he seems like he's more in the 360 crowd.
