They are all good for their target audiences.
Xbox 360 are for people who couldn't wait for PS3 and wanted Halo. Xbox 360 is just newer games and better graphics than its predecessor. Still a solid system with its share of Xbox 360 only games.
PS3 are for the hardcore gamers who have a spare $1000 to buy the game system, peripherals and games. They want HDMI and Blu-Ray. Huge difference between PS2 and PS3. Not just games, but features as well. PS3 also tend to be avid Grand Turismo fans too.
Wii is for families and loyal Nintendo fans. More family oriented games, than violent games like Xbox 360 and PS3. It's cheaper than the rest of the game systems. More versatile, when it comes to be able to share and talk to Nintendo's portable game systems. Big Zelda and Mario fans.
It's hard to say which one is better because what is the deciding factor. Is it games, gameplay, controller, peripherals, high definition, price?

First. Games. Microsoft has been picking up all the rookies with a lot of potential while Sony has stuck with it's companies that have made great games in the past but are old and need to retire. The most relevant example is SqaureEnix. They made some of the greatest games ever, but they can't keep up with the younger generation's needs and wants and will suffer dearly for their inability to keep up. Sony will be plagued by this in the future and Microsoft will pull ahead as it's picking up the younger, more fresh players while Nintendo will continue making kids games and games that are "fun," which will keep them in the race as much if not more than Sony.
Second. Reliability. Ps2 had more problems than any fan would admit. Ps3 has be enduring many, many problems in it's first few weeks of release. Granted 360 had a number of problems in it's initial release, Ps3 still should look better than this.
Third. Capabilities. On a scale of 1-10 for total game graphics, sound and playability, the consoles rate as fallows. Wii 5-6. Xbox 360 8. Ps3 8.5-9. They're really isn't much difference between the 360 and the Ps3. Xbox has a rich online community that Ps3 will have to copy to keep up. Wii's online allows downloads of old NES and some Sega games. Plans for Nintendo 64 games are in the works for download able content.
Ps3 has Blu-ray and if you believe that's the future of DVD then you'd be better off buying a Ps3 than a Blu-ray player as the Ps3 is about $200-$1000 cheaper than a player.
360 has a HD-Drive that you can purchase for $200 and if you believe HD-DVD is the future then there you go.
Wii has no DVD support.
Wii is the cheapest system and it would be "fun." Nintendo has always been a parent friendly system and is great for younger kids.
Ps3 is the most expensive system($599 for the top system,) and would be good as a Blu-ray player.(If you want to argue the hard drive, you can buy a USB drive for XBOX and have more space than Ps3 and still be cheaper.)
360 is the ladder and has a much better set up over Sony and Nintendo. Games are great and you can expect a lot of exclusive games from 360 in 2007.
Get a 360.

Although one could recommend any of these systems based on a number of things (a new way to play with the new "Wii-mote", the amazing graphics of the PS3, or the strong XBox 360), but I would recommend getting the system based on the specific game selection...meaning, if you (or the person you're getting it for) are into the Nintendo characters (Mario, Starfox, Samus, etc.), then it's best to get the Wii. But, if the person is more mature and/or likes shooter games more, then the PS3 and Xbox 360 might be the better choice. Look at it this way - no matter the price, the technology, the graphics, you're only getting the system to play the games, not to do anything else with it, so if you don't like the games, then you probably will never use that system.

The xbox 360 is awesome. It's price is between the wii's and the ps3's. It has graphics of 1080p. ps3 is too expensive and wii doesn't have good graphics. Actually, one of my friends told me that microsoft isn't coming out with many new systems, they are just going to make upgrades for the 360

Wii is so lame! nintendo singlehandedly just took themselves out of this ongoing battle. The big 3 go down to the big two. the PS3 will still have a big following but because it is SO expensive, even so much more than the 360 and for what?? it will begin to lose its grip. Xbox will be the biggest seller of consoles and games until someone else comes up with a better idea.
