The best of anything is a matter of opinion, so here's mine:
The Wii is designed for a different kind of gamer than the X-Box 360 and the PS3. As someone who works in electronics, and as a gamer, I see them in two different categories. When I first approached the question of which was the best, I decided to first compare the 360 to the PS3.
- When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has probably more performance than PS3. But both systems pack a lot of power for high definition games and entertainment.
- The Xbox 360 is a clear winner for graphics. The GPU is more powerful. It has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower. The 360 also has a clever new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers.
- Because the X-Box 360 was released a full year before the PS3, almost all multi-platform developers have made the 360 their primary platform due to timing of release-to-market, this means the games will look and perform better on the 360. The PS3 versions will be ports of the 360 versions. The 360 is also far faster to develop for due to better development tools, better documentation, and easier architecture (3 general purpose CPU’s vs. 8 specialized processors that require DMA).
- The Xbox 360 offers HD-DVD as an add-on for $150. The PS3 comes with one built in (Blu-Ray). The X-Box 360 wins because the DVD player is a separate unit. Playing movies is very taxing on the DVD reader. In a few years, when your PS3 DVD drive goes out due to playing lots of movies (PS2 was notoriously bad about this), you will have to go buy another PS3. With the X-Box 306, you'll just need to replace your HD-DVD player.
After concluding that the 360 is a clear winner over the PS3 (over-priced, over-hyped and under-produced), it was time to decide between it and the Wii. I'm a big Nintendo fan, being that the Nintendo was my first console ever. I loved the Mario Bros, and have fond childhood memories of that and Duck Hunt. :) I also really like the interactive aspect of the Wii, the ability to download and play games from all the previous consoles, and the fact that it only costs $249. If I wanted a HD DVD player, I'd buy one. But I was in the market for a gaming console. So I choose the Wii.
I love the Wii. I have NFS Carbon and Madden for it. Both are so awesome. The playability is rediculous. The only cons that I have to list:
- I had a sore shoulder for a couple days from trying to hit homeruns after playing Tennis for a couple hours on the Wii-Sports that came with the system.
- Twice I've noticed I was sucking at Carbon only to realize it was almost 4am. Oops.

The 360 is you safest choice if you had to buy a next gen console. It's been out int he market a year longer than the PS3 and the Wii and therefore has many more titals to choose from. Not ot mention it has the strongest online community that's only getting bigger. It's $200 cheaper than the premium package PS3, and lets not forget Halo 3 shipping next year. By the time the PS3 finally gets a great title out (maybe MG4 or Killzone) the Xbox will have already beaten it down.

All are good but the Wii is better. It's actually more affordable, easier to get your hands on, and has alot of awesome games like Zelda: Twilight Princess. I also think the new controller will make games more life-like. The Xbox has been out for a while so easy to find with great games, but the Wii has more good points. The PS3 only has one thing to show off which is the blue-ray but it is way overrated and doesn't live up to the hype. It's also overpriced and hard to find. And they're commercials suck...

This isn't a question that can be answered as a fact. It's all a matter of opinion. I haven't played the PS3 or the Wii, so I don't know. But from what I hear, each one has it's highs and lows.

It is all preference, and the amount of money you have. I want all 3. The games are great, the innovations are great, the stuff they've added is great. And I can't choose just one. But first i'm getting a Playstation 3, then Wii, then Xbox 360. My half-brother already has a Xbox 360. He'll be leaving soon when he goes to college.

PS3, Why? Free online, many great games will be released, multimedia console, 10-15 year lifetime.
But it depends on what you want.
If you want something that you will only play casual games on and only use it for two or three years, get a Wii.
If you want casual games and hardcore games, get a 360.
If you want few casual games, a lot of harcore games, and a lot of extra features for a little more money, get a PS3.

Xbox 360. Why? Gears of War and Xbox Live.
