Best game console

[windhound]

Wii
because its has perfect "backwards compatibility" with Gamecube as well as old games being continually added to the arcade
there's not much out for it right now, but good games take time.  The 360 has a full year headstart

Really, there arnt been many games (if any) out to stress the limits of the Xbox 360's and PS3's graphics capabilities...  And there arnt many for Wii that utilize it's capability (which are fairly decent).  I'd rather my games be fun and playable rather than extraordinarily shiney, though if a game looks like utter crud then it kinda hurts it.

Wii's are great however I couldn't live without my kotor on xbox.However gothan racing is good and elder scrolls rule. I've been spamming this song so..yeeahh just read it!
We wish you a drunken christmas, we wish you a drunken christmas and a more drunk new year!
good cider we bring, and very good bear!

Like it?keep in mind I made that up myself...
anyway when 360first came out there were only really shoot 'em ups. Wii's backward's capiabitlity is a great advantage.

It is a very good bear, dear TJ. A very good bear.

Atari.

Short of modifying the consoles' hardware or software, is there any way, I, Joe Blow developer who likes to work with GCC and Vim can write games for a console? No. How about all of my games that have been developed by the community? Nope, it's impossible for them to be ported because of legal reasons. So... I'm going to have to say PC for gaming. Or, barring that, PS3, as it can run Linux without much work.

Not that I'm not impressed with commercially developed games (and the propitiatory licensing that comes with them)... I just can't afford $60 a pop for new games. And I like tinkering...

[Firetooth]

Yes I was thinking of adding PC, but that isn't used only for gaming so I decided not to. :-[
In response to percy's bear...well its a bear. :D
Atari looks retro

Lol, "a very good bear" indeed. Don't know if thats why you posted it, or if you were being completely random.

[Firetooth]

dam you! :D your too clever!
nah I was just completely random-mebbe thats why percy posted!
Even though I dont own a 360 I've played on ps3, 360 and wii as well as ds and ps2. I haven't played on atari or gamecube however.

I don't believe in coincidence. I did believe more in our community's ability to put 2 and 2 together, however  :D

[Marell]

Haha yes agreed. I know as soon as i saw the picture of the bear, i found it logical to check the previous comment and see why you had posted the picture. Very fuuny, i had a good chuckle haha.

You know what i find interesting about this poll? I looked at it a few weeks ago and really couldn't care less... Not an ounce of me cared at all.

Now, after christmas, I've had to walk in to a dozen stores and look at tons of adds for consoles and crap like that. Plus my bro got a WII and other friends got other consoles and stuff... and it's like i actually cared when i looked at the title again?!?!? .... odd... that.

Not that i don't think it's a fun poll, it's just meaningless in the scheme of things. Yet my brief foray into the world of commercialism has allowed me to feel genuine passion about it!

I wish it could inspire me to actually feel passionate about life!!

[Firetooth]

bear was ment to be beeer but yeah. I laughed as well :D

[Sicarius]

You forget the PSP console.

[Peace Alliance]

Also, i forgot to state my opinion.

I'm goin with PS3. Even though Assassins creed for Xbox is the best looking game i've ever played, there were more good ones on the playstation 3.

And what the heck is with the WII? The graphics on it are so bad they gave me a head ache after 5 minutes!!! It honestly looks as bad as the N64 or worse!

[windhound]

Only when you're high sticker  ;)
miles ahead of N64, but the current games arnt exactly leaps and bounds better than the gamecube
Metriod Prime for Wii is beautiful though
Apparently Super Mario Galaxy looks and plays great
Pokemon Battle Stadium looks nice..  there just isnt much to do, which is a shame. 
I cant wait for Super Smash Bros: Brawl

The Sony PS3 is priced out of the general market. 
The Wii is priced so that Nintendo cant keep them on the shelves...  but every store I've looked in has always had a PSIII. 
360 did alright.  Its close to the upper limit for what most people would consider spending on a Game Console, but Live is well done and there are some good games for it.  The rather high rate of red rings of death is a little disappointing however...
