A tie between the Wii, DS, and because of the sale, the PC.
I own everything but a PS3, by the way.

Normally bounces back and forth between Wii and 360. Currently in Wii mode, thanks to getting platformers for Christmas (Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Wario Land: Shake It)

My PS2, since it has the best games. Or the fact I just discovered persona (a tad late to the party) so those games have been sucking my life away. It only took me 112 hours to beat persona 3!

PS3 because it's what I own. I'd like to use PC but the costs to buy a decent gaming PC are astronomical compared to a console, then it'll still be outdated in a few years. PC has its perks, but PS3 and Xbox are just far more simplistic and easy to use.
I could currently buy a PC for £400, or a PS3 for £300. Now, the cheaper option seems the better one, but due to Sony and Microsoft basically taxing game developers, their game prices are put up to £40 while the PC games remain at £30. Now, I buy 10 games for the PC and it totals to £300, or I could buy 10 games for the PS3 for a total of £40. So, both prices are exactly the same if you think about long term.

You can say PS3s are simpiler, but I say that PCs have mods.
Mods are one of the perks I was talking about, but I am a simpleton and can't figure things out lol. In the end I just like to be able to relax at the end of the day and play some games. I got a bunch of PC games for Christmas, and while I enjoy them all, it's easier to just stick a game in my PS3 and play. I mentioned it already, but the biggest reason I don't use PC more is because they get outdated so fast. I can use my $500 computer (bought last year) to BARELY run Mass Effect on low settings. I can't run any good mainstream game of any higher requirements. Consoles on the other hand, have games made just for them so any game I buy I can be guaranteed it can run. On PC I'm very limited to what games I can play.
$500 for a PC that cannot play Mass Effect after one year? You got ripped off, friend. My last computer could play Mass Effect 2 and it was 4 years old. I had payed around £400 for it too. I only got rid of it because the whole thing was dying. (Though, even while dying it would play. The only thing that would put it out of commision was if it caught on fire.)

There should definitely be an option for 'other'. There are alot of people who play older consoles you know!
Anyway, I play PS2 the most. I don't care what hatred is aimed towards me because of that; I love the PS2, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. PS3 is just not that interesting for me, but PS2 is great.
There are many classics I like, such as Okami (originally for PS2), Ico, God of War, Dragon Quest and many more that not many people know about...but yeah! I've had my PS2 since I was a child, and I don't think I'll like another console anymore than the PS2.
Until the 3DS comes out, anyway...

Is that original, or the FES version?


I use my PC for far more than gaming. I use my PC while I'm gaming on other systems. That's how great it is.

It depends on what comes out. In the first half of the year I played more 360 because of Mass Effect 2 and red Dead Redemption, but later in the year I played more Wii because of Kirby's Epic Yarn and Epic Mickey.

The original, when I found out about FES I already bought the normal one. My friend got FES so I did play though some of the answer, and after she beats it I get to barrow it.

Xbox 360, the best gaming system in my opinion, and I always use it.

PC by a long, long way.

It's just cheaper/more convenient/has more utilities (like the escapist) than anything else.

I don't know why you'd play console over it, to be honest.

I own all consoles and handhelds and play 360 the most - convenience, Live and the pad are big factors, plus I'm an achievement whore. My multi-format games are almost always for the 360 (Dragon Age is an exception). I have over 90 games for it compared to 30 Wii and under 20 for the PS3.

I will be buying a new PC next month, but it'll be mostly for work. So long as it'll play Crisis it'll be good enough. I see the attraction of mods for some but I want to play when I play, I do enough work as it is. Besides, DRM, patches and all the other crap that goes with PC gaming is a major turn off and boils back down to the fact that I want ease of play.

It's a toss-up between Xbox 360 and PC.

Lately I've been playing lots of New Vegas and Dragon Age on my PC, but back in November there was no way of getting me to stop from playing the 360 that didn't involve a crowbar and pepper spray.

Also back in July I didn't play anything but Disgaea 2 on my PSP.

So I guess it varies from month to month.

PC, just because I love the depth of stuff you can do with one, not just regarding gaming. But for the sake of the topic I'll just focus on the gaming possibilities.

For me the draw is how easily you can modify a game to run at it's best with whatever rig you have, meaning you can play on a budget if you have to (though it is at the price of gameplay/graphic quality) and although it'd possibly be easier just to buy a console, a PC is able to be used for far more than just your gaming.

Also, the volume of community-created content you come across. Quite simply, it's far easier to mod a PC version, simply because of the interfaces available. Consoles, unfortunately, just aren't designed for you to go poking around backstage in.

((I apologise if this post makes no sense, I'm sleep deprived.))
