The Last Battle - Console Wars

[Sohail]

There have been many threads asking about which console is the best but this one should finalize which one is really worth it! Out of todays latest consoles, the Xbox 360, PS3, and the Wii
. I have attached full specifications of all these consoles for you to go through and decide which one really is the best! I have got the specs from a few websites, and good luck to everyone . Personally i think the PS3 is the best of them all but what does everyone else think...?
