    The ps3 is the most awesome game system ever!

  21. gamecube

  22. Wii is the best game you can get!!! There is now question!!!! I love to play on Wii Sports Resort, LEGO Indiana Jones and Mario Kart Wii.

  23. The Nintendo 64 is the best system ever made. What makes it so good is its library of games(The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, etc.). It’s also the system that introduced true 3-D gaming.

  24. wii is awesome i think ps3 nad xbox are good but game wise there too violent,not good for this new genaration of kids lol,think of 7-12 year old wacthn and playing call of duty online imean i have some friends that play this game for years non stop~!

  25. i love my wii

  26. all though im getting a 360 here soon and everyones telling me its bettere then ps3

  27. dude im agreeing with u the 64 is great but the original nintendo is the greatest but only because of super mario bros. games

  28. My favorite is nintendo 64 by FAR.It is not on the list but it is the best!:)

  29. PS2

  30. wii is very cool and you can play over the internet for free just like xbox live which you have to pay for

  31. I don’t know what to buy ???????

  32. 360 is the most popular , but 360 doesn’t last very long. Sooo you have to buy it several times.

  33. wii is fun but has bad graphics on other titles that were centered on other consoles. it also lacks that many games that adults will like… to put it this way it would be hard to switch from xbox to wii i have a wii and i think the best games for it are the ones made just for it and ones made by nintendo (you get hot after playing games like wii sports resort) so both are good a bit but my ds broke so now i want a psp

      wii doesn’t have bad graphics it have built in pixel shaders game developers have to make their pixel shaders and other thingsfor the games. Look at metroid prime 3 and super mario galaxy do they look bad? No but third party developers treat the wii like a ps2 because they are lazy so they port a ps2 over to the wii slap on unresponsive motion controls and call it a day.

        that’s right!
        Wii is more awesomer!
        And it does have good graphics.
        If the graphics are bad, blame the game developer, not the system!

    dsi is super awesome and i love it!! 🙂

  42. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! // November 5, 2009 at 8:45 am // Reply

    totally ps3 easy choice

  43. wait a minute you guys…. it was written in 2007!!!!

  44. I vote DSI even though it is not on the choices

  45. NINTENDO 64!!!!!

  46. Well it depends on what you want to do with your system. If you want quality of games I would pick an Xbox 360 because of there range of titles and games only for the system. Also the new straight to system downlaod on the Xbox 360 is an amazing revelation and is a good idea for all systems. If you want to be active I woukd pick the Wii for the motion sencors. If you want movie quality it would depend about blue-ray or High Definition but that is your own choise. Also about the portable system I would go with the soon to come out PSP GO because it has the straight for system downloads so you dont need to keep buying new games you can download them. So I have no favorite and they do all do have there strong points.
