With so many different game systems that are available on the market, it seems difficult to imagine that one would invoke so much hatred on my part. Having owned almost every game system that is out there, I was able to say from experience which ones I enjoyed and which ones I did not. Of all of the systems that are currently available, the PlayStation is by far my most favorite, and at the very bottom of the list is the Wii. Here is what I like and dislike about these various game systems.

As far as enjoying game systems, it was a difficult choice to go with either the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox. Since I own both of them, it is easy for me to compare them side-by-side. Some of the games are going to be cross platform, and I do enjoy the fact that the Xbox has a little bit better gameplay as far as the online experience is concerned. I don't always play these types of games, however, so many times I'm only interested in graphics alone. As far as graphics are concerned, the PlayStation is by far the most impressive that is available.

This is because of the blue Ray technology that is used by the PlayStation 3. In fact, I would've bought the PlayStation whenever it first came out, simply to be able to play Blu-Ray movies whenever most people were only watching DVDs. The novelty has worn off to a certain extent, but it is still something that I consider to be very enjoyable. The graphics that are available on the PlayStation are top notch, and it is difficult to imagine that a game would ever be able to top what they can bring to the table. Some of the more realistic games that are coming out on the market within the next few years, however, are sure to be awesome.

The Xbox is also very enjoyable, and there are some games that I own for the Xbox which are not available on the PlayStation or any other platform. The only problem that I really have with the Xbox is the fact that it did have some problems with operating, the red ring of death being the one that I can think of offhand. This was a major blunder by Microsoft, but they seem to overcome it fairly well. There is always that worry in the back of my mind that the system is going to breakdown, however, and this helps to give PlayStation the little bit of an edge in my mind.

At the bottom of the barrel is the Wii. I own one of these, having stayed out overnight in line at Target in order to get it. Of course, there are some games that I enjoy and I certainly do like the fact that it has some upgrades for my old Nintendo favorites. That being said, I tend to use the classic game controller and ignored the Wii controller altogether. As far as I'm concerned, it's a child's toy.
