Well, the day-old PC I'm on right now wins.
And then the Wii.

The Wii because it's backwards compatibility is more accessible than the 360's...I can't comment on the PS3's backwards compatiblity because I haven't bought it and I don't know if I'm going to.
Because I don't know why but as much as I like the Final Fantasy series I'm not that excited about Final Fantasy XIII. Maybe it's because of that pink haired girl who's probaby the main character she reminds me of Yuna in Final Fantasy X-2 and I hate that game with a passion.
I use to own a 360 because I wanted to get Mass Effect but when I saw gameplay footage of Mass Effect I was put off by it's first person shooter mechanics. Because I don't like first person shooters.
When the Phantom finally comes out you'll all see!!!
I like my PC more than any console. I love my 360 lots though. I havent even seen A Wii yet on a shelf and $600 for a PS3 is out of my ballpark financially.
Saying all that, my favorite console is the 360 hands down. The Wii is too hard to get and the PS3 costs too much to get. I hope to have all 3 someday though.

Wii but I've only played a 360 a few times but never a PS3 and I own a wii so yea
PS3 has the best backwards compatability as far as I'm concerned. Even the PAL ones that use emulation and are limited to about 1,000 PS2 titles at the moment are better than the other two if you ask me, if only because I'd be willing to bet that they still run more great games than there were on the Xbox or the Cube (the limited selection of older titles in the VC means I don't even consider it right now when talking about BC. Maybe when it has more titles, but at this rate, it'll be a while before I care).
I didn't say the Wii had the best backwards compatibility. I said the Wii's backwards compatibility is more accessible. When you pop a Xbox one game into your 360 you have to connect an eithernet cable to an internet ready computer. When you pop a Gamecube game into your Wii all you need is a Gamecube controller and a Gamecube memory card that's it. As I said before I can't say anything about the PS3's backwards compatibility because I don't own one.
So yeah, I just got a PS3 this morning . I bought Virtua Fighter 5 and Resistance as well. Set me back £500 nearly. From my hour or so of playing Virtua Fighter 5 ( which is too awesome to explain ) I can see the PS3 being very special, still need to play Resistance ( not too bothered about it, only got it because I had the spare money ).
I had a chance to put some of my old PS2 games into the PS3. Fortunately, out of the three I tested, all worked fine. They also looked a tad sharper in my opinion. Accessiblity should mean alot, but how well the consoles run the game should be a factor too. Dunno whether the Wii actually plays Gamecube games better though.
The Wii becomes a Gamecube as soon as you select to start playing the Gamecube game. It works exactly like the GC after that point.

VF5 is awesome. I had to stop playing it so I could finish the mess of other games I haven't finished--and I'm waiting for my arcade stick.
Since the DS isn't applicable to this situation (otherwise I would pick it), I'll go with the 360.
There are a couple of Wii games I play now and then, and it's the system I take when I'm going to someone's house. My PS3 has been getting more playtime as an Okami/FFXII player and Protein Folder (in the folding program, if you see a single Yellow light to the East of the US East Coast--that's me!), but now and then I would put in VF5 or Gundam Musou. I haven't been on my 360 very much, though over the weekend I finished Crackdown.
I really spend most of my gaming time on my DS, but I pick the 360 since it has more games that I *would* play.
Everyone with a PS3 (or a PC for that matter) should download and run folding@home, but that's getting a little off topic.
Anyway, sorry I misunderstood you earlier John. PS3 backwards compatability is very accessible. Put in the game and go, and if you have one of the ones with the PS2 hardware in it like mine, just about every PSX and PS2 game works. And then there's the fact that they intend to eventually let people download entire PSX games to play on the PS3 (they already do this for the PSP through the Playstation store, so letting the PS3 run them too is only a natural extension). Pretty nice if you ask me.
I still dont even really know exactly what the hell it is. As I now have a PS3, I might as well check it out. Anyone able to give out details what it does and what Im supposed to do with it.Everyone with a PS3 (or a PC for that matter) should download and run folding@home, but that's getting a little off topic.
