actually there isnt really a contest between ps3 and wii or 360 and wii - the wii is TOTALLY different. you see more people with 360+wii or ps3+wii than 360+ps3 (since pretty much ANYONE can have fun while playing the wii)
so the question is really between the 360 and ps3 when youre trying to decide which one to buy, because eventually, we're all going to have a wii (imo, of course)
for games, i personally think the 360 is a better console for shooters (halo3, cod4, etc.) because of the controller design - the 360 controller design is just good - everything is aesthetically pleasing and has a really good feel to it, while the ps3 controller is smaller and not as good - it just feels a little bit out of place. but of course, if youre an rpg fan, the ps3 is probably for you - ratchet and clank future: tools of destruction, final fantasy xiii, and final fantasy versus xiii, etc.
for online multiplayer, i think theyre about even (correct me if im wrong) the 360 may have better support, but honestly, i think it depends on the game - and since you have to pay for xbl, youd expect it to be better - but i havent had any problems finding some good games for resistance: fall of man or warhawk
as for support, i would have to go with the 360 here because i havent called ps3 tech support yet, but i dont think it would be too much worse - i think support is only an issue because of problems with the 360 (red rings, xbl servers, etc.)
price - obviously, the 360 is the winner here, especially since you get the same quality results even though the ps3 boasts better hardware - then again, this may be due to the fact that game developers who have released games on both consoles have not been able to tap the full resources of the ps3 - aside from ratchet and clank, there are no stand-outs graphics-wise for the ps3, but upcoming final fantasy games might change that
for upcoming titles, the ps3 wins, hands down for several reasons
1. theres just a lot of hype for ps3 games even if they come out next next next next next year (exaggerations here, but you get the point i hope). like with final fantasy - people have been waiting for this game FOREVER, so the ps3 has better upcoming titles mainly because theyre announced earlier and there arent that many huge game announcements for the 360 (resistance 2, killzone 2, final fantasy, etc. vs too human...and....)
2. this year (2007) has been an epic breakthrough year for the 360 with awesome games and its hard to imagine what developers will be working on next (again, this is totally imo)
so once again, there isnt really a cut-out WINNER. it all depends on what you want and what youre looking for. both the 360 and the ps3 have different strong points.
as for the wii, its just total win. you cant go wrong with the wii no matter what type of gamer you are, because games like super mario galaxy are great for casual and hardcore games
