Nintendo all the way! Can't wait to play A link to the past again :P Then there's all the NES games that I never got to play...
Face it, Nintendo pwn for innovation, and all the 'XBox 360 is X times as powerful as the Xbox' are assumtions. All the XB360 shots you see are concept art.

I'm getting Nintendo Revolution.

In my opinion, Xbox 360 and PS3 are exactly the same as their previous console but with more power which is a big lack on gaming experience. Nintendo Revolution has a huge list of innovative and revolutionary features like the ability to play any games from previous consoles. Wi-FI ready out-the-box. etc.

If you are buying the Xbox 360 only because "it is the most powerful console", then you've been brainwashed by Microsoft. Power is not gaming, something Microsoft has not understood yet. To make good games, you need a system that offer revolutionary abilities, xbox 360 games will just stay the same as they are on the Xbox right now.

As for PS, the worst console ever made just like the PS2. I hope they made something good that time for PS3.

I'm getting the Xbox 360 obviously. For these reasons:

1. Wireless Controllers :)
2. Graphics
3. Online Features (something playstation or nintendo cannot compare 2)
4. All the great sequels and Online RPG's coming out on it. (Halo 3, PGR 3, Tony Hawk's Wasteland.)

you guys can't argue that xbox has a better online service because more people use it, i've found xbox online service to be very childish and full of annoying people...

and playstation does have online you guys :)

lol woolfy and NGpixel!

1st of all woolfy! wat are u on about, all images for the xbox 360 are concept art!!!???? huh!!??? wat!

i think not with fully playable games already produced, and media covereage of the latest titles, i think this is not concept art my friend!

as for NG, i hear wat ur saying about Nintendo, they have been around since the dawn of gaming! But i must add that i do no want the xbox 360 for its sheer power, and i have not been brainwashed!

the console supports many great features! such as wireless controllers, it too is wireless out of the box, it has the media centre extender built in, which means i can record TV to my xbox! It has removable hard drive, and one of the best features ever made! XBOX LIVE!!! this service may be £40/year, but it is the best online service around! PS2 have there free service which doesnt even compare! And on the 360 the service will have a unified menu throughout all titles! you have a gamercard so u can input some details, to help find games with people who have the same gaming interests as you! Also you can download media content for up coming games/movies etc!

now this may only appeal to the online gamer, but then online gaming is the future! no1 sits at home anymore playing against AI tht present no challenge!

- Revolution will also have Wireless controllers dude, thats not exclusive to Xbox360.

- Xbox Live might be the best for the current gen of consoles, but sure not the next one. Xbox 360 WON'T be wi-fi out-the-box, they said that in an interview. You will need to buy an adapter. Nintendo Revolution wi-fi service is FREE. You should read what Jay just said also.

- Once again, N Rev will have all the same features that you just speficied in your post and more. Not unique at all.

and between, Xbox 360 IS ugly and is about to be really pricy because of useless things like a 120 GB hard drive that is probably the thing the most useless ever in a console. A gaming console IS NOT a PC. Will you have to buy Windows XP for Xbox? It's getting stupid. :)
