In a turn of events roughly about as surprising as Britney Spears’ and Kevin Federline’s recent divorce, there’s one question I’m inevitably asked more than any other this holiday season: “Which of the next-generation videogame systems – PlayStation 3, Wii or Xbox 360 – do you recommend?”
The answer, unfortunately, isn’t so simple, given each machine’s varying feature set, computing/graphical capabilities and a selection of games that, due to port-happy software publishers, presently varies little between platforms for the most part. Therefore I’ve taken the time to sit down and compile a little shopping advice for the benefit of intrigued buyers, who should read between the lines when it comes to marketing hype and largely incomprehensible tech specs. (Seriously… like most of us truly know what in Hades a teraflop actually is.)
