Poll: Console Wars: A Retrospective.

[DailonCmann]

I didn't know people cared so much about their console. To be perfectly frank, it baffles me that people can have allegiance to a hunk of plastic. I inferred to one of my friends that the Xbox 360 shines when it comes to multi-player games and that the PS3 was more for people who like to play alone and he freaked out on me. A rational human being started screaming that I was a "Sony Fanboy" and that the Xbox 360 was the best. I really don't understand it. From my prespective, each console has a unique niche that they perfectly fit. Ex.

PS3- Great for showcasing graphics and single player games.
Xbox 360- Thriving community for those who love to play online.
Wii- Family friendly fun.
PC- If you've got the cash, it beats all of the consoles.
Handheld/iPhone- Cheap fun that you can play whenever you want.

I remember when this was a huge deal, but I thought all of that died down. What do y'all think?

A platform is only as good as the games it supports. PS3 has the ICO collection, Uncharted, and a few other good exclusives; the 360 has the Halo games, there are some great Wii exclusives...but the PC has by far the widest collection of quality games.

I like all my consoles a ton, but I'd throw them into hot acid to save my PC -- and not just because of the money.
