Power Rankings - Week 1
We want to start a new feature on the site, where we take the various platforms of video game culture and pit them against each other. We will be basing our ranking on things like: number of stories on the site, number of views per story, weekly sales results (@VGchartz), and just overall mood around the office. Since we don't quite have all the aggregation tools ready, I am going to rank them on personal preference today. Perk of the job. So here it is g1s, the first official Power Ranking post! Let's meet the combatants.

1 |

PS3 - I just happen to like my PS3 a lot. Maybe it's because I am a Playstation Plus "tool" or because of my long-term relationship with my PS2. It doesn't matter though, the PS3 gets a freebie from me. Ichiban! |

Xbox 360 - Home of some of my favorite first-party titles, the Xbox 360 is getting long in the tooth. To ensure the Xbox 360 walks away as an industry leader this generation, Microsoft created Kinect... oh and more Halo! Still a great system, with an awesome community. |
|
3 |
 |
iOS - based solely on the amount of time I spend playing this while pooping. It is probably the platform I play most. I poop a lot... |
|
4 |
 |
PC - Rocks the middle of the list because of the mod community and console commands. Though I hate trying to configure everything when trying to get a game to run. WASD. |
|
5 |
 |
PSP/Vita - while I want to love these mobile Sony devices, I still need convincing. Once I get my hands on a Vita, my opinion may change, but for now they are not so hot. |
|
6 |
 |
DS/3DS - these were once kicking ass in the top three, but there are fewer and fewer titles that interest me. Frankly, I won't even buy a 3DS since they announced the "slide pad". I would rather be cautious and get the re-design. |

Wii - Hah! I waited in line for 6 hours to get this damn thing. Played it for all the first-party titles and never look back. Now it collects dust as I wait on Skyward Sword. Wii, you sure had me fooled. |

Ah, Sean, not you too. I use my Wii just as often as my 360. There's actually a lot of great third party stuff on there if you know what to look for, and the virtual console is always there when you need a retro fix.

I still use my Wii a lot, but I'm a retro gaming addict an run VC games on it like crazy.
Emblem
Think the Wii's an entire catagory of it's own. It'd be low on my list regarding what it can do, but high when I regard the fun I have with it when bashing my friend's character's head in SSBB, or chucking shells at them while they are driving in carts...or other weird stuff.
BitCloud21
Ya, but I feel like a lot of people have moved on from those games. If we were near the release dates of either of those titles, the Wii would probably get a bump up.

i play mh3 on my wii, doesn't get dusty, and with some luck, i will play mh4 on my 3ds
Slade
wish i could argue with this list.
Shamasha Matthew
same here.... though I'd keep the wii at or near the end still
GamerSpawnling
I touched my wii to seconds ago then I realized I rather not play it and sat back at my PC
Board_games_r_evil
to be honest when was the last time someone touched their Wii?

Playing LttP on it right now I've going through Epic Mickey recently, but I took a break for a Zelda marathon (so, obviously, I'll be playing Skyward Sword this November), and there's still a lot that I haven't finished or even purchased yet. So, I still use mine regularly, and I''m not even halfway through the retail games I want to play...once I factor in the Virtual Console and Wiiware, I've still got playtime on this little oddity.
