yeah and that is why some university made a super computer with them xD and this link is a must read vvvv http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96140-FBI-Uses-PS3s-to-Catch-Pedophiles http://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html and just Google Ps3 supercomputer
and I wonder how many more xboxs it would take to make this xD http://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html
The wii is more for family gamers, but it doesn't really even cater to that. They haven't made more than a few triple A games since its release, and the controls are just weird. Xbox didn't even need to put the Kinect out as movement device competition, is was more like: Wii comes out to compete with Xbox, even though it is completely different Xbox is like "Pfft, wanna see this?" 5 or 6 years later they come out with a top line move console ATTACHMENT that tops wii and sells more. PS3 Makes PS Move....
I would say PS3 for two reasons. First is its Blu Ray capabilities. Try finding a stand alone player that supports 3D for that price. Second is as it uses Blu Ray the games can be much bigger due to the size of the disks. Xbox has to split really big games onto multiple disks.
I prefer ps3 but depends Xbox has good games like HALO and gears of war and MINECRAFT!!! on the other hand ps3 has good games has well like Mass effect 3 and portal even though they might both be on xbox as-well
