XBox 360

Strength- More games

PS3

Strength- Power

When games get better then perhaps the PS3's power will give it the edge but the 360 while being the weaker console has enough power to handle the games being released today.
There are a few titles for the Wii that are definitely not aimed at 'young kids'. I own a Wii mainly because I can play the titles on a non-HD TV without missing out. Unless you buy at ridiculous bargains (My friend managed to land a 42" for $750), you can still build a pretty potent PC for less than an HDTV.

That, and the nostalgia from playing older (NES/SNES) games that I have long since lost the cartridge/system.

For anything more, I just play around on my PC. Granted, the PC market is not what it used to be, but its still alive and well.

I guess I'm just not the gamer I once was, but the XBOX/PS3 don't really appeal to me. The only game I would even like to play on the PS3, inFamous, doesn't justify the price of the system/TV. And most of the 360 games I want to try are eventually ported to the PC.
