  1. The best system is subjective. There is no master system out of theise five or any before it. Each has it’s advantages and disadvantages. The Wii for instance has a motion sensing controller and it’s the only system that plays mario games. so if you like Super Smash bros. Then a system from nintendo is for you. some of the drawbacks of owning a Wii are things like it’s low graphics level. Keep in mind with the recent recall on Wii wrist straps, breaking your television is even more probable then before. If you are an avid gamer that likes high level graphics then the PS3 or Xbox 360 are your best choices. If you are a gamer who is always on the go then a PSP or DS would be best for you. Its best to research the system that you want before buying it. Just remember that there is always more to do in life than video games.

    I think the DS is the best because it may not have as good of graphics but its pordible and there are alot of 3D games for it. I gust got the first person shooter Call of duty 4 for the DS and it ROCKS. And with the DS you can wirelesly connect with somebody.

  5. the DS lite is a REALLY great system if your on a long trip .
