I chose the 360 because I wanted something to play sport games on because I knew they wouldn't be good on the Wii plus it was the cheapest I might have bought a PS3 if I knew about the stupid RRoD

I chose the PS3, 360 and the Wii because I like gaming, and wanted the option to get any console game I wanted to play, regardless of platform.

I first chose Ps3 because there was just so much more in the actual system compared to 360, also with the lack of reliability with 360. I then got the Wii because Wii Sports is more than enough for me to enjoy it. And recently got 360 because I love traditinal rpgs and can't wait for LO. I still feel like I got ripped though because the lack of features on 360.

I know that; but when it comes to PC gaming it's a chore to have to set it up, you know, move my mouse and keyboard, then switching all of my display settings.

Even though it's awesome playing COD4 on it, when it comes to PC gaming I'm too used to playing multiplayer on a 19" screen two feet in front of me.

I chose the Wii as my primary console for games like SMG, MP3 and SSBB. There are also some third party games I want, but on every Nintendo console I owned (all of them apart from the GBC and that console they released before the NES) my favorite game was a Nintendo game. Purely because Nintendo's big games always have extremely high quality. Sure the GCs first party games didnt get much competitionfrom third party games. But still, games like Metroid Prime and Wind Waker are considered to be some of the best games ever made.

Just because I prefer Nintendo's games, doesnt mean Im not planning on buying another console though. As soon as I have enough money, I'm buying a 360.

Oh, and I just realised, my favorite SNES game isnt a Nintendo game. Its Chrono Trigger.

EDIT: And I just noticed this thread was about 360 vs PS3... Ah well, perhaps I should read more than just the topic title next time.

I chose the DS, Wii, PSP, and PC combo because I believe that if offers me the greatest variety of gaming experiences for the best possible price. I'll be upgrading my PC and buying a 360 some time this year, and a PS3 when the price falls to the 300 dollar range.

I picked up a 360 because I knew it had a solid selection of FPSs, racers and WRPGs (probably my 3 favourite genres) and great online play. I got my Wii for its unique controller (great for playing with friends) and the solid 1st party games. I got a new laptop because my old one sucks hard.

I own a 360 and a Wii.

I bought my 360 because it has almost all the same games that a PS3 has plus many more quality exclusives and it was much cheaper at the time. Graphics are almost identical as well.

I bought the Wii mostly because my Girlfriend wanted one, but I've enjoyed it a lot since buying it. It seemed very inovative and fun,and has proven to be a such. I also LOVE the VC.

You do know that your 19" screen is probably running at a higher resolution than your "HD" television right?

I chose a Wii because Nintendo makes great games, I got a 360 because my brother chose it, and I will get a PS3 because it has more games I'm interested in then the 360 does.

PS3

Partly because I want to play FFXIII/FFVsXIII and partly because I didn't like what M$ did with the Xbox360...

When I was a kid, I had a BBC 'B' and my mate had a BBC 'A'. After the first year, there was loads of games that my mate just couldn't play because he had the inferior machine.

When M$ released a version of the Xbox that didn't have a hard drive as standard, to me they made a mistake as developers are forced to develop games without using the HDDor you will end up with 'core' players not being able to play all the games.

This is why I am a console gamer and not a PC gamer. I want people to write games for the system that I have, not have a look at what additional equipment I need to purchase to play the games I want.

i've chosen the PS3 becausemy favorite console games last gen were:

Final Fantasy X & XII

Metal Gear 2 & 3

Tekken Tag, 4 & 5

Ico, Shadow of the Colossus

Disgaea 1 & 2

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne

Gran Turismo 3 & 4

Jak & Daxter 1 & 2 (never played 3)

Ratchet & Clank (i only played up your arsenal, now i've just finished Future Tools of Destruction)

God of War 1& 2

Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2

Zone of the Enders 1 & 2

Katamari Damacy 1 & 2

Okami

As you can see, almost every game up there is exclusive to the PS brand (exceptmaybe katamari and okami), and it looks likethey'll continue that way, so choosing the PS3 was a no brainer. Also, the Blu-ray is a great feature, i'm enjoying it a lot.

Wii. Nintendo exclusives always appealed to me, especially the main franchise games. Plus motion sensing is definatly starting to work out no matter what ignorant and dumb fanboys say.
Xbox 360. Because online is the best, graphics, controller, exclusives and multiplats are the best. And it was cheaper then the PS3, which has stuff that I don't care for at all (stuff that hasn't gotshyt to do with gaming).

I chose the 360 because, actually, I first wanted to get the 360 for GH3 and Rock Band, but the developers were (and still are) being jackasses about guitar controllers, so I decided to wait for Rock Band single peripherals and get a Wii instead. However, they weren't available so I settled on a 360 and decided for now to just play all the 06/07 games I missed and then in the future get a Wii and then GH3 and Rock Band. I'm quite happy with my decision, even though it wasn't my first choice.

I've chosen all three, and I'm buying them sequentially based upon a number of factors. I currently only own the 360. Given it's early release, there are far more accomplished games available, and the price was perfect with the bundle (I've lived on GT for years, and Forza will easily get me through 2008-2009 until GT5 is released). As the price of the PS3 drops and games begin to be released, I will purchase the PS3, this will probably happen whatever day MGS4 happens to drop. I've told myself that I will wait until next December when I can get a discounted price on the PS3 with a possible bundle, but I've grown accustomed to picking up MGS on the day of release since the release of the first MGS for the PSX, so I can't imagine myself having the patience to wait 8 months for MGS4. I'll probably have to call off work without telling my GF and have it set up before she gets home, or she'll complain. So be it, it's Metal Gear Solid. The Wii will wait until the inevitable Zelda gold package, which has not been acknowledged by Nintendo, though we all know that it will eventually happen. Prioritize.

Wii, because I love Zelda, Metroid and Mario. Plus, nowadays I feel more like a casual gamer than I did a few years ago and Wii's got lots of games that you can play just for 20 minutes or so, and I love it.

NDS, same reason.

you mean like the lack of B/C on the 40gig PS3 ?

I have a 60GB PS3 and I agree that getting rid of B/C was a bad move by Sony...but what does B/C have to do with PS3 games? Lack of HDD does effect Xbox360 games and now M$ has lifted the ban on developing games with HDD in mind, it means that core users will now have to buy a HDD to play games. It was because I don't like the idea of buying a system then having to buy additional equipment to play stuff on it that made me a console gamer rather than a PC gamer.

I didn't mean to bash the Xbox 360, just trying to say why it isn't the console for me.

I would have to say exclusives....IMO no game company can make has many great games has Nintendo

I am not saying companies like Bioware, Capcom and others can't make great games. I am saying that Nintendo has more great games that come out a year then most other companies expect maybe square.

I bought the 360 because of the free Halo 3 game that they were going to send you in the mail. But just like MS I never got it and now the only thing my 360 does is sit there with a copy of Orange Box in it.

Yeah I say Zelda and SMG did meet the hype at least in my eyes

because of splinter cell (multiplayer) Which i guess i chose the right one since the next splinter cell is exclusive :)

And that's just why i picked up the console when i did, not the only reason i bought it...

PS3, cause I thought it would have an upscaler out of the box for PS1/PS2 since I switched to HDTV and my old PS2 stoped reading disks (and for some PS3 games that I knew wouldn't come out for awhile). Boy, was I disappointed, I had to wait for almost a year until they added an upscaler.
