    Wii wins the console wars as far as actually selling the most overall hardware and games, but also loses for not having many games worth actually playing. Sony's second loser for pretty abysmal hardware sales.

    None of the consoles looks particularly good, aesthetically, but Wii is the worst in my mind, and I've never seen a George Foreman Grill 360 shop. 360 won best hardware because, though PS3 pushes out significantly more numbers, the amount of cores it has to do anything makes it harder for people to program for optimally, so it wins on a solid mixture of potential and function.

    PS3 easily wins the "all games" competition for me, as most the 360 games I enjoyed were either multiplatform or well worth actually paying for. PS3 has a lot of games I want to play, but not sure how many of them are worth the money.

    What does it mean?
    You go both ways. Toward Nintendo and Microsoft, specifically. Your greatest wish is to give Mario a Battle Rifle and have him shoot Kaz Hirai.
    For your test taking skills, here is a graphic to share:

    I dunno, saying 360 has the best hardware is kinda true, but with all those RRoD problems at a very high percent I can't agree. If it wasn't for that I would agree.

    The RROD is less of Microsofts problem and more of people being stupid.

    From what I remember and understand it's due to the solder they used, a cheaper one than they should've that when heated and cooled excessively (characterized by constantly turning on and off the 360) causes shifting. If people would make up their fucking minds...

    Companies usually calculate for human stupidity, I mean - after what 3 years or so they still haven't really done anything about it. It went from around 33% to 17% or so (still absurdly high), which is a huge jump but it's still 17 fucking percent. Back in the day, I would blame the consumer as much as you, but now it's just microsoft's fault. I'm pretty sure there's legal action or a lawsuit or something against MS right now over this.

    Not to mention a few other faults with the 360 other than the RRoD.

    What does it mean?

    You like playing RE4 or Zelda more than casual gamers, but you fire up the other consoles once in a while.

    Because RE4 didn't come out on any other console. This test just gets more and more out there with every person that posts a response.
