Microsoft vs Sony Vs Nintendo who wins??

The big fight!
With E3 recently finishing up I thought I'd give my views on this never-ending issue.

Who will win this generations console war??
Everybody that's who. Without competition how would boundaries get pushed? If MS didn't jump in to the console wars in the late 90's do you really think we would be where we are now? No fraking way, Sega had already dropped out of the console war and it would have been inevitable for Sony to dominate. But MS did create an awesome console, yes the Xbox was ugly and could kill a small child if dropped from a few feet, but it was the first console to incorporate an Ethernet modem and a hard drive. The playstation didn't have this and had to fight back by releasing add modems for its first generation PS2, but gradually the newly designed versions of the PS2 were slimmer and had an incorporated modem. Nintendo was nowhere near either MS or Sony with the Game Cube even though it was a lovely piece of kit. Just think, if MS didn't enter the fight, would we be playing against people from around the world on a daily basis today?
And with MS entering the frame it gave Nintendo a new opportunity to raise the bar for gaming, as Sony had two competitors to worry about.


And now we have the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. These consoles are each at the forefront of gaming tech in their own way:

The Wii has the most advance user controller with its revolutionary Wiimote.

The Xbox 360 has its xboxlive and also a very powerful console that continues to surprise with its graphical and processing ability.

The PS3 has an extremely agile system, allowing open source operating systems (you can use it as a PC with Linux), upgrading its hard drive without the need for a licensed drive (any 2.5 laptop hd will do) and a system that will only get better in time.

So for me everyone is a winner in this gen, but personally for me, its gotta be the Microsoft Xbox they may have had some hardware issues but they went straight to the consumer for advice on user interface, community systems and more.
