  1. The Wii is the best. You can play Wiiplay, Wiisports,Super Mario Galaxy,Super Paper Mario and more.

  2. Wii(me,myself,and I) think the wii is the best!!!!!!!!

  3. DS is the best because its handheld and has a touch screen and wi-fi. Wii is second best. Then XBox 360 because it has good graphics and Halo 3. Then PSP because it more games then ps3 then ps3.

  4. wii i like best

  5. The wii most.

  6. i only have a PSP so i don’t know what’s the best but i think it’s the Wii.

  7. im all nintendo…so i would say DS or wii

  8. the elite all the way

  9. I like the DS, because it is portable and has relatively good graphics for a portable system, plus it has a touch screen and educational games. if you are trying to decide between the wii and the DS I reccomend the DS.

  10. I like the Wii.

  11. I’m saving up my money to buy Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock. I hope I like it!

  12. I agree with Anonymous! Wii is the best. Then PSP/DS

  13. ok the wii and ds are the most interactive , with motion sensors, wifi, touch screns, microfones and more, the psp ps3 and 360 are “fun” but have no true interaction, its push buttons untill your fingers are numb besides the psp batterie lasts A LOT LESS and the umb’s are more likely to be scatched and unreadable

  14. wii = #1

  15. WII AND DS LITE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    the wii and xbox 360 are the best of the consoles. the ps3 has good graphics and has a high definition dvd player in its hard drive but it hardly has any games.

  17. your all are wrong 360 is in first place then ps3 then wii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. wii rocks

  19. I have I hard time deciding betwen the wii and the DS.The wii has good graphics but I choose the DS because it has two screns and a touch scren.

  20. you people are all wong ps2 and nitendo ds are the best.

  21. ok ps3 is better than any game system and i should know since i was one of the people who created it. PS3 has high quality graphics and online play is amazing. so anyone out there without a PS3 should go to the store and buy 1 right now

  22. none above PS2 is the best

    I have a Wii and I am telling all of you Boys’ Life fans that it rocks! It has awesome graphics, there is a wide variety of games, and it feels like you are really in the game. The Nintendo Wi-Fi connection helps you play with other Wii owners all around the world! You can even use GameCube games in it. You just slip the game in, plug a GameCube controller in the top of the Wii, and you’re all set to go! I highly recommend this system. I rate it ***** (5 stars!) (Sorry, I know nothing about PSP, DS, XBOX 360, or PS3. I am too busy with Wii!)
