Recent figures published by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk appear to reveal that this year's most sought after games console is the Xbox 360, outselling its nearest rival the PS3 by a ratio of 3:1.
But which machine really deserves to be crowned king of the console wars this Christmas; Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PS3 or Nintendo's Wii?
To decide which console is worthy of your cash, we'll be looking at seven key areas that need to be of the highest quality in order to warrant your attention: Games, Exclusive Titles, Media Options, Online."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
The one that does EVERYTHING! For only $299.
"or even a PS3?"
What kind of phrasing is that?
The article also says that Left 4 Dead 2 is available on both platforms (meaning 360 and PS3), which is obviously inaccurate.
Kind of a weird article, all in all. Not sure I really learned anything from it and in fact I learned some untrue things from it.
Are you 6, 13 or mature?
If 6, get a Wii. If 13, get a 360. If mature, get a PS3. If too mature(75+), also get a wii.
i would go for the ps3 on value,reliability,looks. online its on a par with live here in the uk with out the fee.on exclusives in terms of games ps3 is the winner on the graphical point,quality and quantity point no question there this year going into next year as well.that said 360 has got some good games coming but i fear these may be timed exclusives mass effect,splinter cell may jump ship just depends on your taste. but reliabilty and no bluray or wifi out the box for the 360 puts the ps3 way in front in terms of spec.wi not even on my radar
I bought a PS3 at launch, I have to say though, knowing everything i know now and seeing all the games for the 360 - i'd still by a PS3
