There are many fanboys answering this question, but the only true answer is that nobody can know.
The 360 has set itself up as a very well designed system with a potential to come out on top. It certainly has done several things right, but the most important being its online capabilities.
The PS3 is set up, in my opinion, to be a real disappointment. The fact is that, for at least a few years, it cannot live up to the hype(cell processing is not only experimental, it is called pointless by most programmers and game developers HATE developing for it, in general. It's a pain to program for). That, coupled with scandal within Sony, and the fact that it wont reach widespread accessibility until Spring of next year, makes the PS3 look like a flop. I don't even want to get into all of the PR follies Sony has made, but the "just get a second job" comment and the suggestion that Nintendo stole the motion sensing idea from them jump immediately to mind.
Nintendo stands to absolutely make the most money this quarter. From a retail standpoint, the Wii is a much better sale (higher margins for retailer, lower cost, etc...). Nintendo can also make money on each console, versus the loss Microsoft and Sony take on their consoles. This ties in very nicely with the fact that there will be so many Wii available this quarter, so people going in to buy a PS3 will, most likely, walk out with a Wii. And the Wii looks like FUN.
What are people going to spend the most money on? PS3. No contest. One word. eBay.
But as for a long-term winner, I look at the details and say that Wii in the right place at the right time. I think that all of the systems have a chance, but to call the whole thing a war is unfair. What constitutes winning? Most financial gain will definitely go to Nintendo. Most consoles sold will probably go to Nintendo as well. Best graphics will go to PS3 in the long run, but they are likely to fail in all other areas. And the 360 is certainly the console which has shown widespread appeal. But the whole contest is highly subjective, and to call it a war is just unfair. Perhaps a better question to ask would be, "What constitutes winning the console war?"

I think it will be a very tight race between the Wii and the Xbox 360. Both are going for a different group and they are both cheap enough not to break your bank. Wii may have a lead i must say because of all the new stuff that is packed into that mini machine. The PS3 however seems to me like a Xbox 360 with a diamond coating. They didn't really add that much to the system and it is expensive as heck. If you are cheap and looking for fun, go Wii. If you got the cash and want some serious FPS and sports go with the 360. PS3, useless.

properly the way I see it it remains too early to tell. the only factor i'm able to declare is the Wii won't, as Nintendo has suggested many situations the Wii isn't even competeing with the PS3 and 360, it somewhat is doing its own factor and attaining out to an entire distinctive team. additionally to no longer point out that fact that throughout a console cycle of 10 years a equipment that has the flexibility of a equipment variety the final console cycle won't final extra suitable than 5 years. particular the Wii would seem advertising a ton of structures the actual money contained obtainable is from video games, no longer structures and the Wii is getting slaughtered in recreation revenues. as far because of the fact the PS3 vs the 360 i think of the image will somewhat start to advance over the subsequent twelve months or so. at present the PS3s difficulty is it has a susceptible recreation lineup, yet observing particularly some the hits slated to hit the cabinets interior the subsequent twelve months or so as that they are somewhat engaged on that difficulty. If the PS3 can ultimately get residing house released and working properly then i think of it has what it takes to element out the 360. residing house has the flair to be way extra suitable than stay, yet its a lots bigger and extra complicated undertaking and to run on a great scale with many human beings on it's going to be hard. The 360 has already taken a great hit because of the loss to BluRay yet who did no longer see that coming. Microsoft lost that one as quickly as they desperate to make the HDDVD participant an upload on and not familiar. mutually as they'd have had a advantageous lead on video games they have slowed down on the extensive releases mutually as the PS3 is only identifying on up steam. interior the long-term the 360 will nonetheless have extra stable exclusives yet that isn't make the distinction you will possibly think of. game enthusiasts are infamous for following fads and could overlook appropriate to the 20 great video games that got here out a twelve months or 2 in the past and basically care approximately the two huge video games popping out next Christmas. interior the long-term because of the matters with the 360 dieing i think of that the PS3 has a stable danger of ending this war particularly forward, to no longer point out understanding Sony and Microsoft it is going to nonetheless be a stay equipment for a pair years after the 360 is deserted for the subsequent new factor. yet once you extremely seem at it neither will benefit from the extremely huge succes that the PS2 had and is no longer the sparkling decrease far and forward winner indisputably.

I hope that the Xbox 360 will win, but I'll bet that the PS3 and Wii will probably come in 1st and 2nd. The Wii has the new innovative controller and the low price tag on it's side. The PS3 has more processing power. But the Xbox 360 in my opinion is best system and should win the console war. I hope that the PS3 crashes and burns because it is stealing ideas from the other consoles and is not playing fair in the console war.

360, first of all whoever pays $600 for a PS3 is out of theyre mind anyone with common sense can see that, the Wii is more aimed for the younger crowd as most nintendo consels are. And the reason why the 360 would win is because older gamers are coming into the gaming world. 360 = intense violence games which most older gamers aim for

PS3 has no chance of winning at all.

I think the Wii is going to do really well because its so cheap compared to the other 2, and its abundant availability. But we wont know who really wins until years from now.
I think when Mario Kart comes out for the Wii, it will all be over!!!

Wii is looking like a real contender. Sony will probably be behind the pack due to delay in production, higher price and tarnished image due to the laptop battery fiasco.

for awhile the Wii, though I think with price drops and new games PS3 will come out on top.
