I personally own all three, and whilst I am a nintendo fanboy I'm also not blinded by them. See my first home console was a PS1, back then though I wasn't exactly a serious gamer. By the time the GC/PS2 gen came around I was obviously older and had grown up with a Gameboy pretty much glued to my hand, so a GC was the natural choice.

Basically I adore nintendo for it's characters and the worlds they create, their home consoles not so much... The Wii was a fun piece of Kit and had some great games, but it definitely wasn't the best looking or best connected thing on the market. The xbox was great for this though, it offered me many games that were shared between PS3 and the 360 that the Wii lost out on (Batman games, final fantasy etc) The online was fun too until i realized what a waste of money gold membership was and that my friends only played COD.

My PS3 I have only owned for 3 or 4 months, and i brought it simply because I wanted to play Ni No Kuni (having followed it since it was originally announced as a DS title). We also got a 3D TV last year so we had switch over to Blu-rays in our house, so it also doubles as that for in my room. Add in the Ps plus service that i can use for both my Vita and PS3 and it's Win Win. The problem their though is that non of sony or microsofts first party offerings really appeal to me.

For me it pretty much boils down to that I will always buy a Nintendo console, but purely for the games. Part of me wishes they'd just give up the home side and focus on handhelds whilst developing home console games for someone else (kind of like Sega). The other console I will likely get based on exclusives, which with the way the market is heading I can see becoming rarer and rarer (companies want to hit the biggest markets possible, hence why EA have dropped the WiiU and Bungie is going multi)

I think it's just that Nintendo seem the more personal of the three and I like that. They come across as less guys in suits that just want your money, and more like friends (for lack of a better word/clear way to express my thoughts) or at least people that care about their fans more. End of the day a good game is a good game regardless of who makes it.
