I completely agree with you, while I wish we would stop fighting, it's an unrealistic idea and will never ever happenTheFacelessOne said:

Obviously, the PC has the best games. That is not my point of contention:
The PC is not a console.
I wish we could come to an end with this myself. I have an Xbox 360 so i guess i subliminally tilt towards it sometimes. And i feel games sometimexs play better on the Xbox, however i am really dissapointed i couldn't get Uncharted (especially number 2) however try to explain pros and cons to a fanboy and i'm afraid his head will explode.
Here's my opinion on ALL the current-gen gaming platforms excluding hand-helds:-
PS3 - Similar gaming crowd to the 360, but aimed more for the hardcore gamers with most of its exclusives. For hardcore gaming, this or the 360 will do fine. PSN is free, robust, the store has plenty to offer, but is just lacking in features. Hardware is powerful, but then difficult to code for. However, put a lot of time into them, and you get gems like Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted 2 and LBP. However, no PS2 backwards compatibility with newer models, but PS1 games still work.
Xbox 360 - Simular gaming crowd to the PS3, but more about the slightly casual crowd with its exclusives. Again, hardcore gaming is good on this or the PS3. XBL Silver is free, but no online play. XBL Gold costs, but is a great service with many features, and the Marketplace has tonnes of stuff, even full games to download. Hardware isn't as powerful, but is very easy to code for and port from/to PC, and backwards compatibility is still supported. I've not played many exclusives, but my favourites are ODST (kicks Halo 3 in the bollocks, in good way), GRAW, and Halo 2 for the original Xbox is still fun.
PC - The possibilities are endless really, that's all I can say. However, you must A) have impecable co-ordination to work all the keyboard controls, and will have to shell out LOADS for a good gaming PC or laptop. However, they're useful for more than gaming. Some games even allow signing into Xbox Live.
Wii - For the casual crowd. Games can be fun (Super Mario Galaxy was great) and if you know what to do with it, you can play more games than are released (as long as you don't update). I know this isn't what you're meant to do with it, but playing Quake on the Wii is amazingly fun.

I'm reminded of Yahtzee's dog analogy. My problem with each of the consoles is that the PS3 has an okay selection of games, and the home thing is dumb; the 360 needs to stop breaking; and Nintendo needs to release a new IP, fix the internet problem, or at least bring back Star Fox and F-Zero.
The Wii is the paragon of creativity? http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-top-7-lamest-party-games/a-20091009142838580089/p-4
But yeah the 360 and PS3 owners should stop fighting.

This thread is trollbait.
Personally my favorite thing about the PC is simply the customization, when I get some money I'm gonna build another comp.
My 5 month old 200$ comp can play every game I've wanted to. You don't need to shell out loads to be able to play the games you love, you don't even need to shell out loads to play the games you love on decent settings. But yeah, if you want to max it out, then yes it is pricey but what isn't in that circumstance?Megacherv said:

Nice post. I have a PS3, and have had a Wii and 360. I liked the 360 and the PS3, but i hated the Wii. Not my style. The only reason I have a PS3 over a 360 is free online.
People take personal preference WAY too far. I like the Xbox 360, my boyfriend loves Ps3 (So much he RRoD'd my Xbox 
) and we both love Wii. But some people out there act like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo (okay, may be not so much Nintendo) are paying them to slag off the competition. The CEO's do that as it is. I really wish people could just grow up and say "I like [console] and [console] isn't my taste." I mean, I grew up with Nintendo and Playstation, but now I like Xbox.
Oh, and don't even get me started on PC fanboys...
