if you want a great online expeirnce, 360. ( awesome graphics, awesome online, nice controllor )
if you want at home multiplay pure enjoyment, wii. ( very fun easy to get into games, not great graphics but they work fo rthe system, great use of motion sensors )
if you hav ethe money and can wait for more games, ps3. ( not to many good game sout for it yet, but its online is free, not as good as live but again its free, the game lineup should pick up with some nice releases around march, pretty much the same controllor as the last two, but a lighter and a lil more comfortable to me, plus motion sensors )

Not Wii. Straps break way too easily. But I think that you should choose between the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
So here are a lot of pro's and con's for each.
PS3
Pro:
1. High Processing Power(good graphics)
2. Free online play
3. A few good exclusives
Con:
1. $500-$600
2. Because online play is free many 3rd party games will not support online multiplayer.
3. PS3 has lost a few 1st and 3rd party publishers and developers.
4. EA has claimed that it is harder to port games to the PS3 because of the Blu-ray technology. They stated that it will take a lot longer to port Crysis to the PS3 from the PC. So some game companies may not want to go through the hastle of porting their games over to the PS3.
5. Doesn't come with HD cables
6. Blu-ray takes up 2-4 times more space on a hard drive than regular format.
7. It will need 6 months to a year to work out all its bugs
8. If there are problems with your console, its on you.(Sony has proved in the past that they will not replace or repair reject consoles without having to pay $150-$200.
9. Can only play certain PS1 and PS2 games.
Xbox 360:
Pro:
1. Great Graphics
2. Xbox Live is better than ever
3. Super comfortable controller
4. Has gained many 1st and 3rd party publisher and developers.
5. Great games
6. Bugs have already been worked out
7. Peter Jackson(director of Lord of the Rings and King Kong) will be working exclusively with Microsoft.
8. Metal Gear Solid 4(the PS3's killer app) has been rumored to be coming to the Xbox 360.(this months issue of EGM)
9. Microsoft may be trying to by Capcom(Resident Evil, Dead Rising)
10. Great accessories
11. Can play Xbox games
12. Exclusive content for GTA IV
Con:
1. $50 dollars for Live, but is totally worth it.
2. Can't play all Xbox games, but most of the good ones are playable, and more are becoming available.
3. HD-DVD player is extra, but is one of the best looking
HD-DVD players out there.(in my opinion)
The PS3 may have slightly better graphics, but the 360 is better in almost every other way. Besides most game companies don't take advantage of the power of the systems. Just like the last-gen games, no one showed the true power of the Xbox until Ubisoft unleashed Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
I think its kind of like the difference between Plasma and LCD. Sure the Plasmas(PS3) look better(not much better), but they also don't last as long and have a better chance of getting a picture burnt in on the screen. While the LCDs(Xbox 360) are cheaper, look great, have a less chance of burn-in, and are slightly more compact. The LCD's have more bang for your buck.

THE PS3 it has better sound and graphics. If i were u i would buy a Xbox Rite now or a Wii rite now and then slowly save up for a PS3 since of its price tag Of $500 for 220gb memory or $600 for 60gb memory. Than u can have 2 next gen systems i personaly im waitng on my PS3 i have the money but their are very little systems out their unlse u get it on EBAY. Febuaray is when sony says they will have enough for every1 who wants 1 and has the money. which is another reason to get the 360 or wii and save up for the PS3 but if u want jus 1 system save up for PS3 it is worth the money and wait!! believe it my friend has one and it is STUNNING it is also a rather good looking design to its extior. but that dont matter

Xbox 360 period
I just got one, its amazing
the online experience is phenomenal, its so cool talking to people while playing a game
Also, according to a gamespot.com review, the 360's graphics are better than the ps3's right now.

Plus, ps3's are really hard to get except if you get it off eBay for 400 bucks above retail
