Yeah Wii rocks! Esp since I've homebrew'd mine to play games off Iso's on my Harddrive.
But now the PS3's hacked I off to buy one and the biggest hard drive it will support.

And what is the purpose of your post since you are not contributing towards console gaming revenue??

It think the point is that they still make all the money despite being the most hacked console.

Yes exactly my point, And now that ps3 has what seems to be a viable and easy to use hack, you'll find that thier PS3 sales will start to climb.So Wii better watch out.

I considered that as well.
Also its really funny how the Xbawks has been hacked for years and can't compete with either of them.

The Wii is fun and the Homebrew software brilliant. I've a 1TB USB connected to mine with loads of games.
the RRoD on the Xbox scares people,they don't want to be fiddling around voiding their warrantry and the opps RRoD.
PS3, with it's Bluray and soon 3D support has away attacted people but it's the price on games that's put me off beside a few other things mostly not relating to the actual hardware,
as to the Sony Image.Hopefully with PS Jailbeak , we'll get soon cool homebrew like the PS2 Software Emulator back from the earlier PS3's. In fact they should also do a Wii emulator since the ps3 has bluetooth. I know they got a PC Wii emu and the PS3 used to handle Linux and is way more powerfull than the Wii.
I feel like I should learn programing just so I could write the code to do that.That would totally rock my socks.

Since we are somehow on the topic.
PS3's blu-ray feature is a HUGE "advantage" for Sony. Considering the poor multiplats and about 5 good exclusive games I'd say half of the PS3 user base got it mainly for BR and gaming as an extra feature. Imagine if MS added a BR drive to the 360, sales would be crazy high right now.
The Wii wins simply because it's different than the other consoles and pleases a wider audience. Also, it's Nitendo, damnit.
The 360 is only Microsoft's second console, their first was much more powerful than the PS2 and GC (700mhz P3) but came late to the party and wasn't even released in SA. It could be turned into the strongest media player the world has ever seen as well. 360 ain't doing bad at all considering the huge competition from the 2 big names in game consoles (Everyone likes to ignore this feat). 360 appeals more to the "serious" console gamer, if you know what I mean.

But on the other hand the Xbox 360 is doing very well.
But the PS3 has the best exclusives, of all the current consoles? Or are you referring to 2007?
