What are the things you would change or like to see taken away from each of this three generation's home consoles. In other words, what do you dislike about all of them.

To prevent this becoming a fanboy war, if you are going to post, you should have at least one negative comment about all three systems.

360: It's a piece of gooseberry fool. The games are good, the OS is fantastic but the actual console is a disgrace and shouldnt be allowed to be sold to the public in its current state.

PS3: That piece of gooseberry fool controller. I liked the PS2 controller and I know it's just the same thing with wireless technology. Perhaps because most games are built to work on the 360s controller and not this one?

Wii: Far too much shovelware. I mean, it's just getting ridiculous now isn't it.

Your turn.

360 = Arcade model. Every machine should have a hard drive as standard.

PS3 = The PR guys/execs who talk so much utter bullshit, and the Sony fanboys who are by far the worst and most aggressive out there.

Wii = Shovelware.

360: Like you said, almost everything about it is great, but the reliability is just unacceptable, sure things have improved but those of us on our 5th or more console, well, it just leaves a nasty taste in the mouth to be honest.

Ps3: Having to install lots of games, now I really don't mind if a game wants to install say 1gb or something to help speed things along, but when it gets to crazy numbers like 5gb then it's just getting silly, especially if you don't have a massive harddrive.

Wii: Lack of proper HD and the sort of games I want to play.

I think you've got it pretty much covered there, Proto. I'd just like to add that whoever thought it would be a good idea to have the PS3's triggers curve outwards is a massive, massive [snip]

Wii: Games with Better graphics, put GC games on the Virtual console

360: Noisy that you need heaphones for, lots of online lag, no Blu Ray, decent games spread into about 2 genres, brakes every 6-9 months

PS3: Gets a bit dusty, sometimes the PSN store is a bit slow

360

Dpad and build quality, sort them out please.

PS3

Triggers, sticks, inferior 360 ports, silent online, expensive and updates that take hours.

Wii

All of it.

Yeah, they're all pretty good ones. I'd like to add one for each, though, which are lesser concerns, but still issues.

360: Get rid of the Arcade. It's pretty pointless. Oh, and a redesign of the console wouldn't be a bad idea. It's no looker, is it?

PS3: Those damn installs. Most I've seen make barely any difference to the load times either. Give us the option at least. Oh, and the battery life of the controller is abysmal. I'm fed up of plugging it in with a too-short USB cable, too.

Wii: Western developers - make the strawberry floating effort, will you? The Japanese are really showing you up, and that's not the case for either 360 or PS3. Indeed, it's the exact opposite. Name two really good third-party Wii titles that have been developed in the west, anyone? Okay, apart from Boom Blox and de Blob. Not easy, is it? Oh, and anyone who thinks it's a good idea to put an important command on either the plus or minus buttons - GTFO.

The Wii really is f#cking gooseberry fool. Loads of remakes of games no one bought in the first f#cking place, cr@p online support and bollock awful shovelware with GFX that make the PS2 look like a Cray supercomputer. My IR sensor bar fell down behind the back of my TV last night. I couldn't be arsed retrieving it. I just couldn't be arsed.

The 360 is a f#cking joke. M$ spending how much on advertising? Insignificant compared to the huge pot of cash they put aside to absorb the cost of fixing the f#cking things. F#ck knows how many kids are going to be disappointed by system failure this Christmas. M$ wouldn't know what QA was if it bit them in the bum- they should stick to making operating systems- which also don't work properly.

Because of its internal PSU and robust build, the PS3 is a tad heavy and thus slightly tricky to remove it from its box.

tee hee

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

360: microsoft, make some games my missus will play so I have an excuse to buy one. Also get rid of that stupid silver disc tray. The arcade pack still looks the best! Oh, and build a wifi adaptor in.

EA: make SSX 5 you ba*tards.

It's good to vent your inner troll. I feel very calm and relaxed now.

360 - Too many sodding FPS and Racing games, also the d-pad is utterly gooseberry fool.

PS3 - The controller is terrible, not enough decent games and the piss-poor backwards compatibility is a joke.

Wii - Most games are utter toss and Nintendo have lost the plot.

PC - too much emphasis on graphics and an over-abundance of FPS and RTS games.

I strawberry floating hate grey games. They are doing my nut and I really want to see them banned. We didn't have truck loads of grey games last gen, or the gen before that or ever for that matter, so why are we being punished with gooseberry fool like Gears of War, Resistance Fall of Man and Motorstorm now?

Do you have a Wii, FishFingers?

Pretty much home of colourful games there.

To be fair you don have stuff like Viva Pinata on the 360 aswell.

I hate my Wii because it's downstairs because I don't have room in my bedroom for Wii Fit. I love Mario Kart but jesus christ they strawberry floated up on Brawl multiplayer, didn't they?

As for PS3, I really, really hate that it can't play .mkv files. "OMG it does HD but it doesn't play HD TV rips".

I hate that my Xbox 360 is so loud too.
