PS3-
Pros:
Best processing out of all the consoles.

most people have a PC anyways.
Lag applies to any online system.
Vista isn't needed to run the current online gaming behemoths (Orange Box, World of Warcraft namely)
You don't need a PC to be portable, because you can connect with anyone you want incredibly easily.

PC wins.

also, you can't put "It's fun" for the Wii, because that should apply to all of them.

Overall good post, although I have to disagree about the "all are good and bad" in terms of the handheld market.
Frankly the DS is by far the better system (IMO anyway).
And some consoles in the past have had no cons (Saturn, Phantom, CD-i, just to name a few)

No cons? I assume you meant no pros, considering you put "CD-i."

And you obviously know nothing about the Saturn if you think you can put it together with that other slop. The Saturn renders 2D far better than the PS1, so every single 2D game that was on both of them looks better on the Saturn. The Saturn also features the best load of shmups and is incredibly easy to use as an import system. Plus you've got the most kickass rail shooter series ever, Panzer Dragoon.

Here's an idea...try owning a Saturn before bashing it. It's a weak system compared to something like the SNES, sure, but it's nowhere near as bad as you think.

PS3 has only 3 good exclusive games: Ratchet & Clank Future, Warhawk, and Metal Gear Solid 4. That's it. Plus, the console costs more and most of the good games on it can also be found on Xbox 360, so that's why I bought an Xbox 360 instead of a PS3. And 360 has better exclusive games anyway (Bioshock, Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, etc.)

Thanks to mackormoses for this badass sig!

Another Objection!

SNES

Pros:
AWESOME games!
LOTS of games!
Turns yellow from smoking around it.
EARTHBOUND!!!!!!
Durible. (Or at least, mine was.)
EARTHBOUND AGAIN!!!!!
As I remember, it wasn't TOO expensive.
Wide variety of game geners.
Could support some pretty big games. (Earthbound, Super Mario All-Stars, etc.)
Cartridges. Blow on them, and there fine! No scratches or anything!

Cons:
IDK LOLOLOLOL


That about sums it up!
