So, i'm planning on buying a game station of some sort this Friday, i'm thinking ps3 or xbox 360. Wii is possible too if anyone can make a really good argument for it. Right now i'm leaning torwards the ps3, but i'm wondering what other people's opinions are.
ALSO!!! I'm looking for a video game bro who also enjoys watching anime. Its so hard to find our kind these days you know? I swear, no one i live around plays vid games, it blows.

My personal preference is Wii>360>PS3 in terms of multiplayer entertainment. I would totally be your video game bro if I didn't live at home

Well, I have to say a no to the 360. As a techie who knows a lot of elite techies, I have to pass this advice on.
The 360 was a horrible design built to maximize performance, and cut costs. Sadly, the machine ended up being, for lack of better words, made to fail. The ultimate problem ultimately comes from only "lab" tests. No real stress tests at all. They just assume you have a really nice ventilated room with max ac running. Even with new designs, there are still problems. If it wasn't for this, the 360 would rank #1.
Thus, I would reccommend a PS3. A bit lacking in selection compared to the 360, but its solid in design, but it's selection is better than the Wii by a long shot.
I don't reccommend a Wii. Apart from party games, there are few "gamer" games. It lacks the ability to play FPS games (You try play COD on it and you'll understand). It also lacks any of the major fighting games.
I'll be your gaming bro, I'm decent at FPS and fighting games. I don't have my own system though...
btw, I live at rubin.

Mario Party Wii Sports/Resort Virtual Console Rockband/Guitar Hero if needed
There's probably a lot more that I don't know about.

Wii should not be anyone's only console. It would be so boring....
Between the PS3 and 360 I recommend the PS3. It just has more exclusive games. Also a shitload of JRPGs are being released in Japan this year, so they should be hitting the US next year (including White Knight Chronicles from Level-5 in the spring, and possibly a new Shin Megami Tensei) And the obvious FFvsXIII, but God knows when that's comming....
The only argument I could make for the 360 is that the online service is more robust, but you do pay $50 a year and i was never a multiplayer fan.
And the controller is God-awfull for anything besides FPSs....
Though if you really wanted a detailed analysis, you would have to post the genres/games you like.
IMO: PS3>Wii>360

Counter-strike, halo, Area 51, Killzone, Fear, etc.
I'm best at FPS and RTS games.
I play just about everything though. I refuse to play another mmorpg again. WoW taught me that.

If your getting a ps3 I'll be your bro if you let me come over to play. Don't have one myself. Yeah, I may be camping out for a few weeks so don't expect to use your bed for awhile. Also stock up on food. I'll need something to keep me going. Might wanna stock up on some airfresheners since I may start to smell after a few days.

Meh, I don't have a system either.
However, I would like to say that I do have a 37" LCD 1080P TV. The games would look epic on that. I think you should bring your ps3 over to my room for that reason alone.

It's not like there's anything good on tv nowadays. Anyway, come to my room. I have......I have......PORN! Yeah, come for the porn and stay for the games. Though I don't have a tv, so you'd have to carry your 50lb ps3 and tv. And I'm not helping you carry it.

PC + HDTV = PROFIT! Though I tend to play FPS on my laptop screen, cause unless I'm RIGHT in front of the TV, the laptop screen image is technically bigger. Though if I'm gonna play something like DMC4 or The Last Remnant, I'll just use my Dualshock 3 with my PC and pretend I'm playing on a rev'd up PS3.... *WTF Edit* Porn? Who doesn't have porn? In fact I'll give everyone the link to the largest porn site EVAR!!!!Is I winnar?

Don't EVER use that forbidden word in here. Only hentai exists in this world.
