Game Consoles.....Which one is the best?

The Console the machine that lets a person see the amazing graphics, play their favorite games and takes them to a world beyond the room. Without the machine your video game is just worthless. We all grew up with the Super Nintendo playing Super Mario Bros. or Duck Hunt back in the 1985. Then as the years progressed and we saw major changes to the game console being upgraded. Since Nintendo had a console some other companies decided that they wanted to get into the gaming market to. Sony being a company of many electronic gadgets and TVs brought out their console called the Play Station (Dec. 1994). Microsoft also joined the game when they brought out their own console later down the road (Feb. 2002). This new machine created some competition with its trademark game of Halo for Sony and Nintendo. Which both had their latest upgraded consoles out on the market the year before.
These three companies are the top dogs for the video game world. With the new and latest consoles out Microsoft's Xbox 360 brings the world online game play to a new level. The ability to store game data on a 6.4 GB hard drive. It also has the ability to be used as a media center equipment. The PS3 by Sony is probably the one console that brings a person the best grapchics and the ability to watch BluRay discs. Then there is the Nintedo Wii that has been agreed on as being the family entertainment unit for all ages.
All These consoles have online play and graphics that blow away some of the first game consoles made. The only drawback that can be found with these consoles is which one does a person want. Do we as a consumer want to be playing with the best graphics, on fun mulitplayer games or for pure and simple enjoyment. It is hard to say which one is truely the best console out because all three have their very own unique qualities that can satisfy any gamer. So when it comes down to the big choice you as a person will have to choose.
For myself gaming is important and I chose the 360 for its balance of graphics and entertainment it has. The major thing that caught my eye was the online multiplayer games. It also is useful when I want to watch a movie and get away from gaming. So for all you gamers out there to choose the best is up to you because all of these consoles are amazing.
