Moved to Debates, which I just made upon seeing this topic. I think PS3 would win this argument. You may want to include a poll. |

I added a poll for this topic. As my personal preference, I like the Xbox 360 the best. |

Alright, let's look at some quick strengths and weaknesses for each: PS3 Strengths -Free online -Blu-Ray/HD compatible -Strong lineup of exclusives -PSN downloadable games Weaknesses -Terrible security (ie: the Anon fiasco) -Not as easy to navigate as the 360 -No cross-game chat 360 Strengths -Strongest online component of the three major consoles -Enormous amount of apps that come free with an XBL Gold subscription -Cross-game chat -HD compatible -Easy-to-navigate Dashboard -XBL Arcade Weaknesses -Red Ring of Death/other hardware problems -Monthly subscription required for XBL (or a 12-month prepaid card) -Not as many console exclusives as the PS3 Wii Strengths -Good first-party support -Strong base for casual gamers -Top-selling console from 2006-2010 -Virtual Console and WiiWare Weaknesses -Might as well be no online -No HD -Non-existent third-party support -Ports of 360/PS3 games are difficult to manage due to limited hardware and control scheme PC Strengths -MODS -Can be made as powerful as you wish it to be -Seriously, mods. Weaknesses -I will never be able to run Crysis -Costs a lot of money to build a big rig PC. The 360 has been my choice since 2010. I was originally an avid Wii supporter, but that was also in 2006. I might pick up a PS3 in the next year or so just to play the exclusives that I was unable to play, but for now, I'm a 360 supporter who will never be able to build a nice gaming rig.

Damn Yeshua, you're dead right on there. However, here are a few other things I thought up as well: PS3 Pros: - Supports 5.1 AND 7.1 Surround Sound. - You can have a much bigger HDD than the 360. PS3 Cons: - I've noticed that the PS3 often struggles to play high action games. This is a noticeable problem I experienced while playing MW2 and BO on the PS3. The frame rate just dropped, and the picture could be very jerky. I believe that this could be caused by the slow reading speed of Blu-Rays. - Much more hackers in games online vs. the 360. Sony really needs to fix this. Xbox Pros: - HD DVD's mean that games do run better, although not as much space for game conent. - Faster Wi-Fi then PS3. - APPS! Cons: DVD's can't hold as much content as Blu-Rays, thus which is why games look better on the PS3 Wii - I'm not even going to bother with this. The wii just suck imo. PC - The main reason I won't buy any games for my PC is because the whole online system is unbalanced. You have to play against people with $4,000.00 computer with people that are playing from their $300.00 Laptops. Not much balance there. Also, many games are very badly hacked (unless you have Steam. Steam rocks!). But yeah, you practically hit the nail on the head with your post dude. |

PS3. I have a Wii and I basically only play sports games, so... PS3 has MLB: The Show and Xbox doesn't. Plus I don't have to pay for internet. Oh, and I have a Mac. |

Honestly I feel that this can't really be debatable. Each Console has their own flaws and weaknesses that are nonexistent within the fellow competitor's console. Not to mention that when deciding, the answer will usually be due to console bias. If I were to vote, It would probably be Xbox or mainly PC but that's just because I've owned those and play those constantly. |
Call of Duty sucks. Trolololol. No really though it sucks.
