Nintendo Wii had the motion controls, but they rarely really worked like they should. Apart from its motion controls, the Wii was ridiculously underpowered in comparison to the Playstation 3 and even the Xbox 360. I'd hardly call it revolutionary.

Playstation 3 was the most powerful machine from the three main consoles of last generation, but it suffered from a very easy to crack online functionality, which caused the very long PSN shutdown in 2011. Hey, at least it's free to play online, unlike on the Xbox 360 -_-. Oh, btw, Playstation 3 did motion controls better than the Nintendo Wii. Suck on that, Nintendo! >:3

The Xbox 360 was not as powerful as the Playstation 3, but has more games in its library at the end of the generation, and its controller feels so nice. I know, it seems to be made from glass, but aside from that, the Xbox 360's controller is my favourite controller of all time. Also, Xbox LIVE > PSN, due to it being more secure from attacks from hackers. And as much as I dislike Kinect, it blew new life into the Xbox 360, which was pretty neat. But, the Xbox 360's console exclusive games are severly lacking in variety. Just about 90% of the console exclusives are futuristic shooters. Perfect Dark Zero, Gears of War, Mass Effect (untill it got ported to Playstation 3 and PC).

All three systems have their cons, although the Wii's are hard to find, imo. In the end, I would go for the Playstation 3, seeing as it's more powerful, and has better console-exclusive games. It's online defenses are paper-thin, but hey, there's always offline play which I like better anyways.

I have to agree with you on a lot of that. WHY can't Live be free like every other console? ._.

I honestly prefer my Xbox 360. I play them all, but it is my favorite.

I like my 360 because of its awesome multiplayer and fun games to play. It has great connection (most of the time) and it is fairly simple to work.

I have a PS2 that I still like to play, mainly for all of my Spyro The Dragon games and Star Wars: Battlefront II. It may not have the online capability like my Xbox, but it is still really fun to play.

I play a Wii for one reason and one reason only: Mario Kart. I'm not saying that I don't like them, but they are among my least favorites. It doesn't have a mic and it is hard to play with friends when they are not standing there with you. I have to one really to play with, so they aren't as fun to me.

Those are my thoughts. What are yours? :}

You can play Star Wars: Battlefront II online on the PS2. The problem is... No one plays that anymore... xD

I never figured out how to get my PS2 online, it doesn't exactly matter now anyway. xD
