Wii - has the potential to be really awesome, but I'll wait on the reviews to see how it plays out...plus I want a black one when they release it. $250, good price, $50 games, good price, Concept, good fun. Seems like it will be a great system.
360 - Already have it, already love it. I'm an FPS fan so it's my fit. Only thing is that $60 is getting high for games, it seems like an okay point but any higher and people won't be able to afford them.
PS3 - I wanted to like it, I really did, but Sony just 100% lost me on this one. The design, it looks like a damn scanner! Blu-Ray thrown in there...yeah people the discs hold more media, but the system can't read from the disc as fast, so it gives and takes...plus Blu-Ray discs are more expensive and with the Sony president claiming games could potentially cost up to $100 it's clear Sony dosen't care about the consumer market, just pushing as much expensive things off on people as they can. Which brings us to the price point of PS3...too expensive. Yeah it could be a good Blu-Ray player...if you plan on paying $25-$35 for DVDs that you could get for $15-$25 all for what, clarity you won't notice? My biggest upset with PS3 is that they didn't feel the need to use a motion controller until everyone got excited about the Wii's setup, and that the PSonline market is essentially a direct rip off of Xbox Marketplace...All in all, besides boosting the power of the system and throwing in a bunch of unnessecary media costs, Sony didn't have an original thought with this system, which dissappoints after the PS2...
