Alright, here's the problem.
Ok, so someone is trying to make the perfect game console, that everybody would like. It would have the look of the Xbox 360 (everybody's favourite console look), using the Wii's controls (everybody's favourite controller), and have PS3's games (Everybody's favourite games.)
Do you see the problem?
In case you have not by now, here it is:
Everybody likes something different. People have different tastes!
Some people like different things over others. Others will disagree with them. It's just the way things work. Some people like shooters like Halo, while others like platformers like Mario or Sonic, and more people yet again like RPGs like Zelda. Some people may like them all! (I do, but again, that's just me!)
My point is, you might give some points of advice. There are very few times one console is a bad choice (such as the N-Gage), but still, if someone likes the PS3, if they really want it and like it, let them spend the 600 bucks! I forgot to mention that even though the PS3 is in a horrible state right now (in my opinion, that is), Once the price of the high end version is about 400 bucks, and there are some good games out for it by then, I'm probably going to pick one up. But I am going to wait. Besides, I just got a Wii, and I love the damn thing, Zelda is a fucking blast to play.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to one fact:
Not everyone likes the same stuff!
