PS3 vs. 360 vs Wii?

Out of those consoles, people have the Wii the most, because it's cheap, the 360 is desired for it's online Xbox Live, which is the best in the market, and it has the most games, but performance for both of those consoles is nothing compared to the PS3 (twice as fast than Xbox360, with 50% polygons able to display on screen), which sells very little, because of it's high price tag.

According to IGN, they reccomend getting the PS3 in the long run, because 360 is done with it's maximum potential now, and that they probably need to make another console to keep up with the PS3 soon. the PS3 is developing games slowly, but Sony is making a developers program, that's easy to use. Easier than it is now, for the PS3. IGN says that this will call forth a rush of games to the console, and that better games, longer, and with amazing graphics will be released. The SIXAXIS controller offers a better control then the 360 at the moment too What do you think about al of this?

Update:

The article was not biased. IGN is a trusted source and has hosted with the E3 Expo people. PS3 has also won awards, even if some here said something about it. It's won performance and intuitive awards with it's controller, not too simple like Wii, but still with motion detecting, to match the Wii.

    I think someone drank the Sony kool-aid.

    it's easy to say "Sony will do this" or "Sony will do that", or "MS can't do something" but the truth is it's just speculation.

    Sony has a history of making promises they don't keep. How about the original PS3 release date? Online? communities? awards? The point is that just because they say games will be coming faster doesn't make it so.

    As far as the Xbox goes, to say it's reached it's potential after less than 2 years is simply ignorant. The PS2, the first Xbox both improved year after year as developers got better with the hardware. The same will happen with the current gen consoles.

    As far as the hardware specs go, specs are such a minor aspect of the system. You can have the greatest, most powerful system in the world but if it's impossible to program for you simply won't get the games. The Xbox is based on a PC architecture so it's already familar to developers. That alone will keep games flowing to the platform as developers can easily cover 2 platforms (360, PC) with one development effort.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-PS3. I'm picking mine up as soon as they confirm the date for Tekken 5! I just don't like unbalanced journalism. Both systems are good, both have their strengths and you really can't go wrong with either one. But I wouldn't make my decision based on one pretty biased article on IGN.

    Or you get both systems and cover all your bases :)

  • I prefer the Wii first, the PS3, and then the 360.

    I like the Wii because of all of its features (such as the channels), and the big selection of games. Plus, it's a lot cheaper. The PS3 comes next because the past Playstation consoles have always been great and it has a better selection of games than the 360. The 360, in my opinion, doesn't have any games that I like. Just my opinions.

    Choose the system by its games, and what it's going to release. That being said, if you're looking to by a system based upon its performance. Buy the 360 for xbox live, buy wii for its control scheme, and buy the ps3 for it's performance and general high quality/blu ray.

    I seen many of the classified ads for Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3.. yet I would desire to declare, the final one would be PS3.. The track "women folk and gents" became attracting.. the business for PS3 became severe.

    For me the best console is PS3, of course that wii is pretty popular right now, he got that remote and many other attachments, but for me PS3 is the best choice. But don't buy PS3 now, wait for a few months, wait until praise comes down, plus, many attachments will come out on PS3, and DVD GAMES will be cheaper, just wait, be patient and you will see, it was the same with PS2 and PSP.
