For me its the 360 for 1 reason, the controller is more comfortable for me and more of my friends own xbox so we play online any one who argues about the graphics or games or system specs is 75% of the time a fanboy.......Who 90% are fags.

I own 360 but I'd say PS3, I feel really stupid that I bought 360. Reasons? PS3 controller is said to be better for shooters and especially for fighting games such as Street Fighter and Soul Calibur (due to the better d-pad). The major reason why PS3 wins IMO is free multiplayer, for x360 gold membership you have to pay (in Europe) somewhere between 35 and 60 € per year which is IMO o total ripoff! The third pro for PS3 is Blu-Ray player. I'm pretty sure that within 2 years we'll see PS3 rise above X360 since PS3 is gaining a lot of sales and programmers are getting more and more versed in PS3 programming...

The Wii was never really 'next-gen' in the same sense as the 360 / Ps3 - and they were only 'next-gen' when they were the next generation - five or six years ago. In any case, there's shit all difference between the 360 and the Ps3, so it comes down to small features. Personally, I significantly prefer the 360 pad over the Ps3; analog stick placement feels more natural as they're not so close together, and the variable pressure triggers are much more useful than the simple shoulder buttons on the Ps3 (for example, you can control throttle instead of it just being on or off).

I actually got a 360 controller for PC, and a PS3 style controller for PC. I like the 360 wayyy better.

I used to have a 360, it had some cool games.

PC kills all those consoles now.

I just bought SC2.........

If I had to, I would trade in my Xbox 360 and all its games in for it alone. The gaming community and the graphics are just so subpar to the PC. :)

I'd hope so with todays technology advancements. Xbox 360 how old is that now? 5 - 6 yrs? New xbox any time soon... really.

I own everything, I don't play them much anymore, I have to say I play my ps3 more,

- less noise ( since I have them next to my computer and it really can bother me when the 360 is louder than my computer.
- no cost for online ( not being cheap or anything, I don't play consoles game much as I have school and work, therefore it is more comfortable to play whenever I want, I haven't play online games on the consoles for 3 weeks now.)

I feel the controllers, the graphics are about the same, in most case I am more oriented to the gameplay and how well the game is executed so I feel like I can't stop playing.

Xbox360, microsoft, good quality, i dont own one but my i was on one party and there was an xbox and Serious Sam 2, that was fun...

Also too bad that nobody knows Zeebo, even if i dont own one but a cute console from Brasil and it was released in 2009 and it got funded by EA,Namco,Capcom and many other companies, even activision and id software also...Cute console,cheaper then Wii,something betwen PS1 and PS2 and good games in J2ME format...
Resident Evil 4,Rally Master Pro,Galaxy on Fire,Quake 2 and some other good games...

The new games that will rock for sure are Street Fighter Alpha(exchanged then original),Iron Sight,Raging Thunder 2 and Armagedon Squadron...

I love the price, its 150USD i think,even its maybe more expensive then ps2 in my country but i rather Zeebo then PS2 with games that i truly dont like,i had playing PS2 at my friends but its actualy anoying, i also played Ps3 a little with a brother or a friend of my sister....and it was good but too high tech!

I only owned PS1 and it was fun, PS2 and PS3 are piece of crap, Wii is a japanese shit that makes you move but its anoying,very...
I rather have a wire in my brain that is connected to some sci fi console and playing Quake 2 or i dont know,maxpayne...

That's what i mean when i sayed fanboys :(
personally i hated this years E3.
It was all about the graphics and motion controls and 3D screen's.
Gaming is about GAMES !
Not graphics

And PS2 Kick's Ass !
It was one of the first consoles I've ever owned .

If the game start to lag for no reason it's my falt ):>{O

Speak for your self.. I love the visuals in a lot of games. BC2 would still be a good game if it looked like Quake 1, but it would be garbage compared to the version with the nice graphics.

Not including previous generation games that are backwards compatible, we have about 7 Wii games (including Sports/Resort), 13 PS3 games, and at least 30 xbox360 games. Likewise we have more than one 360 here, and both get frequent use (especially for online titles). The PS3 does see some occasional Blueray use, but the 360 plays more HD shows and movies for us thanks to media streaming and USB support.

You must have missed the part where they showed all those games...

From what I saw it was gaming related. Graphics and such is just a bonus. And there were quiet a bit of games showcased at E3... Dead rising 2 YES!

How so? Virtual Boy displayed only black and red, was on a tripod you had to always lean your face into, had about 8 games, and thoroughly sucked. The 3DS has a similar form factor to the DS so you wont have to sit awkwardly to hold and play it, allows you to adjust the intensity of the effect (you can turn it off, even), throws in an accelerometer and gyroscope for some extra handheld fun, shares the DS/DSi library, and I guess IGN is reporting it has processing powers which exceed the Wii and allows for more advanced shaders.
