Speaking from an "as-is" or "today" perspective:
Xbox 360 is the clear choice. I have all 3 systems, and I've played the 360 probably 500% more than the others combined. The 360 has more "system seller" games than Wii or PS3 will have in at least a year. 360 all the way. It's fucking insane the deal that you can get now - the premium system with HDMI for $350.
Go out, get a 360, and buy Gears of War, Bioshock, and Halo 3 and don't look back
Main reasons Wii doesn't get my vote: graphics suck ASS. Play Bioshock and Gears of War and then try to boot up some Zelda, and it's just down right depressing. Graphics don't make a game, but when the graphics aren't even as good as Resident Evil 4 on GameCube, it is embarassing.
Main reason PS3 doesn't get my vote: too expensive and like 2 "purchase worthy" games.
The "Top Three" on 360 right now are better than any of the "best games" on PS3 or Wii. 360 is the winner for now.
My thoughts for the future: Wii is in trouble. Those graphics are just horrendous. I never thought I would hate on Nintendo like this, but jesus, the controls aren't "mind blowing" enough to make up for the craptacular graphics. Sony needs to crank up the seriousness of getting out some good games, and quick. They need to make absolutely sure Gran Turismo 5 is ungodly awesome - I believe the Gran Turismo 2 or 3 (can't remember which) is the best selling videogame of all time (Mario doesn't count!) - they need to really make GT5 an awesome game.
Also, GTA 6 needs to be super stellar as well. If it's just as good as San Andreas, the PS3 has a nice future ahead.
