Which Current Gen System do you use the most?

edited July 2010 in General Chat
Also how long have you had the console in question & on average how often do you use it (like hours per day)?

    If we're excluding the PC then either 360 or PS3, play them both the same amount I guess. Had my 360 since launch(Although I had to replace it at the start of this year, so it isn't the exact same console) and my PS3 since March this year.

    Wii on the otherhand... I've had since the Wii launched, and I never touch it. I completed No More Heroes 1 and 2 the other week, and that is honestly the most I've used the console ever. If you aren't a big fan of Nintendo's franchises, then the Wii hardly has any decent games for it, it's really tragic.

    This pretty spells out my opinion of the Wii. I may have gotten my start with the NES and N64, but then my brother got a PlayStation and I've been a fan of Sony since. I did, however, take the time to complete Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 because I thought they were really well-done and fun to play (Except for the last galaxy in SMG2).

    Microsoft never did it for me. I never found their controllers to be comfortable, they always seemed to be nickel-and-diming their customers by cutting or leaving out features and selling them as outrageously-priced options (DVD Playback, 360 Wireless adapter, certain "features" of Xbox Live), and their games--at least to me--tended to be PC ports, most of which were first-person shooters. Yeah, there were a couple of interesting games like Crimson Skies on the Xbox and the HD port of Rez on the 360, but it was never enough for me to put down the money for one until that Walmart deal (Where if you bought a 360 Arcade for $200, you got a $100 gift card or something strange like that). I hooked it up, played around with the interface a bit, but I maintained some sort of aversion, so I sold the console (And kept the gift card. And made $50).

    Sony's stuff clicked with me more than Nintendo, Sega, and Microsoft. They had a controller that I found comfortable, and franchises that I was into--stuff like Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy (The 3D ones, anyway), Dance Dance Revolution & beatmania, Ratchet & Clank, God of War, PixelJunk. So this is where my console allegiance lies, and is also why I've picked up every Sony console to date (Excluding the PocketStation).

    Being a game reviewer, all of the current gen consoles get a fair share of my time, though lately I've preferred playing on the PS3 better than the 360 even after I upgraded to the new slim.

    The PHYSICALLY best one. I doubt an Xbox 360 would be able to run 3 instances of Crysis simultaneously *smug*

    But not counting the PC, I'm going to say, of the ones I own, Wii. I don't own a PS3 (I'll rectify that by the end of the year, I swear!) and I barely use my 360 (I've only ever played 2 games on it, Castle Crashers and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts 'n Bolts)

    Does my DSi count? I use that loads. It has an easy 'pick up and play' style which means no matter how long I have to spare (i.e 10mins or an hour) I'll always have some fun.

    If the DSi doesn't count then it's the wii. I agree it's incredably difficult to find good games for it, but there are some real gems!

    That's Blasphemous! (Did I spell that right?) I'm actually the opposite. I pretty much only play the Wii for Nintendo exclusive franchises like Mario and Zelda.

    Im currently using the Wii the most as its the only console i've bought. But i wish and am contemplating on buying a PS3,

    GMan what games are u playing?

    It used to be the wii, but i've kind of lapsed off of gaming now. Mainly because i resent paying £35 for a new game, and the games that are below that on wii are either not worth buying, or around Launch time (most of the 1st party titles are still highly priced, and i own the third party ones I want).

    But, i'm currently playing the PS3 the most, because of Lego Harry Potter. It's my favourite Lego game i've played, but it's also extremely buggy. (Whole system freezes occur far too often, characters get stuck, events don't trigger, screen not displaying correctly etc)

    That's a shame, I was considering picking that game up but if it's a programming issue I'll just hold off for a while then.

    I'd have to say the PS3 is my top system at the moment. I have a 360, which is out for repairs, and a Wii but rarely touch them anymore. I try to relax a few hours a day with some GH5, Ratchet and Clank, Silent Hill, GOW3, The Simpsons or some Dragon Age. I've had it since Feb 08 I think, was a B-day gift from my wife(Ex-wife now:D). If I'm not playing a game on it I'm watching something through Netflix or a Blu-Ray movie, it gets a lot of action, I'm surprised it hasn't fallen apart on me yet.

    Of the consoles, the Nintendo Wii. Not because I think it's the best console, or because I agree with what it has done in terms of service or hardware, but simply because it has the most games that can't be played on the PC. I spend almost ALL of my gaming time on the PC though, and I could happily give up the Wii and console gaming altogether pretty easily.

    It's not -terrible-. I think the game froze up for me two or three times between 0 and 100%, and I got stuck -once-. The game isn't unplayable, but it's not perfect. Weirdly it's arguably the best Lego platformer to date.

    I just play Wii. Unless an iPod Touch counts? And I play DS. I like Nintendo
  • edited July 2010
    I almost never use my Wii, and my PS3 and 360 get almost equal play time at this point, 360 gets a little more use due to having a superior version of Netflix. :D

    But PC is by far my platform of choice.

    GREETINGS TABLOID NEWSPAPER.

    If we aren't counting the PC it would be the PSP/PS3. I'm playing both of those equal amounts, it's a really amazing year for the PSP. I'm getting some DS games as well though, so I'm playing that a lot more (INFINITE SPACE).

    My 360 is my main gaming device, even more than my PC. I also have a DS & a Wii but only use them occasionally whereas I'm on my 360 at least 5 days out of 7 even if it's just for an hour or so.

    I have all 3 but nowadays I don't play any now that I've got a slightly better computer and it's here upstairs so I don't have to go to the basement to use it. I originally bought the 360 to replace my PC because it sucked and I could never use it. The Wii I bought because I was a Nintendo fanboy and I was guised into believing that the control capabilities were innovating. The PS3 I bought for Blu-rays and gaming as a bonus. I haven't touched any of them in a long while now. Although, I will be getting back into the 360 for Deathspank...

    It's definately worth picking up, but i think it's worth waiting for a patch. There are also a number of bugs (one of which i've encountered), which will prevent you from reaching 100%. I unlocked a character token, just as my sister ran into the next room. Now the token hasn't registered (but the game saved), and i can't redo the bit i need to to get the token. I can't 100% the game. I think most of the issues seem to be localised in the hub, or in co-op (i've only ever had it freeze during room transitions in Hogwarts). So yeah, wait a few months, and see if a patch comes out. If not, it's still worth picking up, just be careful.
  • The Wii. I play it a lot, and happened to pick up a new game for it last week. But I do tend to play my DS and PC a lot more. Usually at the same time.

    Why aren't you watching Blu-Rays? There are so many great releases on the platform, after all. Wizard of Oz, M, Battleship Potemkin, The General, The Third Man....Metropolis is getting the most complete release ever in November, too. Obviously you should be using your PS3 a good deal more often.

    ...oh, wait, you mean for GAMES?
