Wii,360, or PS3

I'm very suprised and pleased to see a thread like this and 0 fanboy comments.

Like everyone said, no console is better. Every console appeals to a different type of gamer. Of course, however, this thread will be riddled with console bashers/fanboys in a matter of hours. So be prepared, guys.

That's an interestering definition, Koloth. I consider myself to be a Nintendo fanboy, but i don't go about being a jerk to the other fanboys. Does that make not a fanboy, or what.
Geez, I'm confusing myself.

Fanboy is a negative term. Not something you want to classify yourself as in any way. I am a Star Trek fan, but I don't bother to debate over why it is better than Star Wars. Nor would I since I like both anyway, but if I did that would make me a fanboy. I'm a Transformers fan, but again I don't debate over why it is better than Voltron. Though again I like both shows. However a fanboy would debate those things. You can be a fan of something without being a fanboy.

Honestly Koloth, if my wallet wasn't so empty at the moment, I'd pay you. You seem to be one of the few people online who understand what a fanboy is and avoid being one.

Anyway, if people would stop flaming other consoles and debating that they made the right choice and the games they have are superior to yours, the fanboy population would diminish. When deciding between three consoles, instead of thinking "which suits me best?" they simply ask themselves "which is the best?".

People need to stop looking at a game and saying "Because I'm not a shooter fan, the 360 sucks" or "Because I prefer shooters over action/adventure games and I prefer COD4 over Brawl, the 360 is obviously superior to the Wii."

And Kirby, its nice that you are actually trying to support your opinion but your reasoning is biased. You say that the most popular game or whichever has the most sales/gets the best reviews is obviously the best. However, look at halo 3. Amazing sales, incredible popularity, and hyped up critics reviewed it nicely. Was it a good game? No. A complete letdown.

Now look at games like Call of Duty 4 or Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Did they sell as much as Halo 3? No. Are they as popular? No. But do plenty of gamers prefer them over H3? Yes. Infact, a lot do.

I'll post this again for anyone listening. Heres how you decide which is the best console:

...

Does that help? No. Because there is no best console. Heres how you decide which console is best for you:

Wii:You prefer Nintendo games and a nice amount of first party exclusives. Your not into shooters, but a platformer or action/adventure game will do you justice. You also like some fighting type games, as Brawl may suit you well. As for party games, you have some friends who come over often to play offline with you. Graphics are only a few levels above last gen, but you only care how a game plays, not so much how it looks.

Xbox 360: Your into hardcore, shooting games. It's important to you that a game looks far better than last gen, not just a few levels above. Games stamped with an M rating catch your eye. Your willing to pay a small fee for online, as it is the meat of your experience. Offline/split screen games could use far more work, but you only care about worldwide gaming.

Ps3: Bluray is your style. A game with good graphics will catch your eye any day. If it's an RPG, by all means, your gonna check it out. A nice mixture and balance of some genres suits you well. Online is decent, but your a solo type of guy anyway.
