2. Xbox 360
2.1. Pros
2.1.1. The Xbox 360 has a detachable hard drive that can range from 4 gigs to 250 gigs.
2.1.2. The 360 is the first gaming machine to make the human body a controller to play video games, this is possible because of Microsoft's Kinect that was released November 4,2010.

2.2.1. Have to a monthly subscription to play online: $10 for one month and $60 for one year.
2.2.2. "Red Ring of Death" has been a major problem since the first release of the 360.
2.3. Hardware: Xbox 360 uses the triple-core IBM designed Xenon as its CPU, with each core capable of simultaneously processing two threads, and can therefore operate on up to six threads at once. Graphics processing is handled by the ATI Xenos, which has 10 MB of eDRAM. Its main memory pool is 512 MB in size.

3. PC
3.1. Cons
3.1.1. Hackers are very common on PC games because it is easier to modify than a console. This can ruin gameplay for some.
3.1.2. Game files can be extremely large, World of Warcraft for example takes up to around 15 gigabytes once you install all of the expansions.
3.2. Pros
3.2.1. You will be able to upgrade it whenever you want with the better hardware being released every few months
3.2.2. Hands down the best graphics possible. Because you are able to upgrade the hardware constantly, the PC can handle a LOT more than any console on the market and still run fantastically.
3.3. Hardware
3.3.1. RAM
3.3.1.1. Expandable up to 64GB

4.1.1. Revitalized the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983
4.1.2. The single greatest video game console in history by IGN
4.2. Cons
4.2.1. The force of pressing the cartridge down and into place bent the contact pins slightly, as well as pressing the cartridge’s ROM board back into the cartridge itself
4.2.2. 10NES lockout chip frequently resulted in the blinking red power light, in which the system appears to turn itself on and off repeatedly because the 10NES would reset the console once per second. The lockout chip required constant communication with the chip in the game to work. Dirty, aging and bent connectors would often disrupt the communication, resulting in the blink effect.
4.3. Hardware

8.1.4.3. 3.8" 16:9 Color TFT at 480 × 272 Sliding Screen
8.2. Pros
8.2.1. Size: The point of a handheld system is so that you can take it virtually anywhere. The Nintendo DS and original PSP models are sized to do that, but the psp go truly offers pocked-sized convenience. It's smaller by about 1.5 inches in width than the PSP and weighs over an ounce less than the PSP-3000.
8.2.2. Games are downloaded: Sony has decided to go the iTouch and iPhone avenue with the PSP Go by making games solely downloadable. With the absence of a UMD drive, players must purchase and download games and other content from the PlayStation Network Store. A 16 GB internal memory is in the system to handle those downloads. Now you don't need to worry about lugging around a bunch of UMDs to play games.
8.3. Cons
8.3.1. Not every PSP game is available for download I can understand the issues behind the UMD transfer scheme and its non-appearance. But if I can't transfer my games to PSP Go for free, I'd at least appreciate the option of buying them. However, not all PSP games are available on the store at present and the full catalogue may never make the leap onto the PS Store. This presents a problem. I now can't sell my old PSP 3000 (as I originally intended) as that would mean losing some of my favourite games.
8.3.2. Downloading games takes a long time You may well be completely at ease with the downloading revolution. It's probably one of the reasons you're contemplating buying the new system. It's unlimited, it's on your terms and it's simple to do. But there's no escaping the fact that here you have to download anything you want to play - and that means waiting.

9. Nintendo 3DS
9.1. Pros

10. Playstation 3
10.1. Pors.
10.1.1. Incredible Graphics. The PlayStation has the best on-paper specs and the demos have looked outstanding. Plus, it comes with an onboard Bluray DVD drive, which can hold more information than a standard DVD disc (the Xbox 360 supports HD-DVD, Bluray's main competitor, but not out of the box, and game support for HD-DVD discs is expected to be low or nonexistent).
10.1.2. With a host of all-star developers, Sony's undoubtedly going to have some killer games for the third PlayStation. Take, for example, the Halo killer Resistance: The Fall Of Man. Developed by Insomniac (who, coincidentally, will be releasing their next Ratchet & Clank game on the PS3), it’s gorgeous, smart, and awesome. Sony’s always been great at getting 3rd parties involved, and this generation of gaming should be no exception.
10.2. cons.
10.2.1. Very expensive. It's hard to imagine a tremendous demand for a product that costs from $499-599 (the higher price is for a larger hard drive and better video specs). And, if there’s less demand for the system, there will be less games for said system. Think like a developer: why devote time making games for a system with a small group of users, especially when the Wii's low price and innovation practically guarantees its success?
10.2.2. Hard to Program
10.3. Hard ware
10.4. http.
10.4.1. New nodDesigned for use with and requires the Playstation 3 game console Includes PlayStation Move motion controller, PlayStation Eye Camera and Sports Champions game Your every move is translated on-screen with absolute precision Your every movement is registered by the motion controller's advanced motion sensors and the PlayStation Eye USB Camera.

There are so many possibilities when actions from both controllers are being tracked. The motion controller's Color changing sphere and built-in vibration feedback react to your actions and movements to create engaging experiences that are not only reflected on-screen, but also delivered directly to the palm of your hand.
