Consoles are evil - don't buy them.

PS3 probably wins on graphics.

360 probably wins on the big brand games (GoW, PGR, Halo)

Wii probably wins on playability.

And PC wins in all of the categories

If you want to play on your own and spend ££££££ to get the top rig.

I've got a 360, it's very good - esp Halo3 & Bioshock. Also, XBOX Live is the most popular of the online offerings on the consoles. There were over 25000 playing the one type of game I wanted to play on Halo 3 last night (mostly annoying septics but hey ho).

I'm also waiting (and waiting) on a Wii to arrive - just for the fun element.

Two of my mates have PS3 and it's also very good but too expensive at the moment for me to justify a third console under the TV.

You can play online and you don't have to spend a fortune on a PC - of course you won't be able to turn on all high settings and play at 1600x1200 res, but there is always a compromise. And you can play online - this sort of gaming is far more developed for PCs than for consoles.

Price of games for consoles is a total rip off too.

Yes, but I'd say Xbox live is bringing it to the masses, and folk don't tend to sit around the PC after the pub.

I made my own console from the flight recorder of an old Concorde and spares from my Cray.

Threaded.

PC for me all the way. Built my own and it practically glows it's so chock full of yummy goodness. Getting ready for a New Year upgrade as my mobo can't handle a faster processor and will be going over to Vista (kicking and screaming) so as to get dx10.

I've only considered buying a console coz it's a cheaper way to get blue-ray.
