I have both PS3 and Wii, I originally planned on buying a Xbox 360. But that's not happening now.
Microsoft screwed it up big time. Literally every single Xbox 360 is defective due to a design flaw in the mainboard. Even though it may not happen to everyone, but the design flaw is still there. It could go out tomorrow or in a couple years. You know, if you go to the local retailers and ask them how often people return Xbox 360, you may be surprised.
It was even reported that the failure rate may be as high as 33% compared to 0.02% for PS3 and Wii is remarkably low too, probably under 1% which is acceptable. But 33%... definitely not.
It's costing Microsoft over a billion dollars in repairs. They knew about the flaw and yet they did nothing throughout the year. Yet people are still buying them... I guess they don't care about getting screwed over. That's their problem, not mine. I'm not going to make a bad investment. When I pay hundreds of dollars, I expect it to last a long time and that quality is the top priority. Microsoft is not known for quality control, never was and never will be.
Over the holidays, PS3 sales spiked. So clearly, PS3 is catching up. PS3 itself is an amazing multimedia/entertainment unit. I didn't like how they designed PS2, but they really nailed it with PS3. Well worth the money for what it offers.
