I personally believe there is no best console, just the games you can play on each console are different. So probably the thread would be more like 'Which console you can play the best games on?' or something like that.
In my Opinion i think the Xbox 360 is the best counsel on the market. The only thing the PS3 has going for is it's backward compatibility and possibly MGS4.Also you may say it has a blue ray disc and it the best technology out there but for Christ Sake i still watch VHS.And For the Wii it not a bad system it just it can't be compared to the Xbox and the ps3 the Wii does have SSBB but thats about it, any way Nintendo is Not trying to compete with Sony and Microsoft.
Also Halo 3 is the best game ever and it on the 360.
