On a Scale of 1-10 How would you rate Current Gen Consoles? Me well I see it like this.
Playstation 3 - 9/10
Xbox 360 - 7/10
Wii - 7.5/10
Playstation 3 - 9/10
Xbox 360 - 7/10
Wii - 7.5/10
ps3 - 5/10 (man, sony you are greedy)
xbx360 - 7/10 sure brings in the fun, but the failure rate - oh boy
wii - 5/10 some games are kicking ass, but the tech is just not current gen, sorry i know about this "we dont want to be next gen, we are new gen" stuff nintendo says but face it: for the hardware they bring they should ask $99 for it.
sony and microsoft are also undercharging, so why shouldnt nintendo do so?
Are you sure about those figures? Can you put a reasonable source behind them?ps3 - 5/10 (man, sony you are greedy)

It costs Nintendo 112$ or so to make the Wii they should UNDERCharge it? I say 175$ would be a fairer price for the Wii. I also fail to see how Sony is greedy since the 40GB is the same price as the 360 Premium was during launch. ( 400$ )

PS3 - 5/10 (needs games, rumble and multiplatform games that don't suck, the hardware is top notch though)
X360 - 9/10 (no other current gen console has this good of a library of games. Simply superb. Plus Live is kick arse, failure rate brings it down)
Wii - 8/10 (really starting to get interesting now that it has some good games and channels, plus VC is godly)
PS3 - 4/10 (needs games...price REALLY has to go down for the 80GB [you won't get the "Sony Living Room Convergence Experience" with the 40GB]...obligatory purchase of a 1080p TV set...I sell those TVs but even at employee discount, a good one still runs me $2500 [gotta get those 120Hz models...those are hot])
X360 - 9/10 (I don't own one but I know it kicks ass...all the best games are on it, plus Live its a definate killer.)
Wii - 7/10 (The only one I own, I'm pleased with the experience but as I play Geometry Wars Galaxies, I can see how the lack of HD can hurt a system...yes its not about graphics, but as I gaze upon my Sony 27" CRT with all its interlaced goodness, I can't help but cry a bit that this is the best its gonna get...we have some great games...BUT WE NEED MORE NOW DAMMIT!)
Edit:
Just for fun, one more
PC - 8/10 (PCs have become a lot more affordable these days and especially with new video cards such as the nVidia GeForce 8800GT and the ATI Radeon HD 3870, running you around $250, you can easily jump into the high resolution gaming world at a fraction of the cost of a PS3. Your PC is truly the convergence device having resolutions even higher than 1080p. If there's a good game on XBox 360, it'll probably appear on PC some time later. And nothing...absolutely nothing beats WASD + Mouse for shooters...Team Fortress 2 FTW! As for myself, I just upgraded my 4 year old box with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro ($94) and while it won't run Crysis, it does do DX10 and it can get some decent resolution and frames outta Team Fortress 2 and Unreal Tournament III.
