There have probably been loads of threads like this, but I want to know what people think of the next-gen consoles.
You've got the Xbox 360 which is supposed to come out November, which is a major plus.
There's the PS3 which is supposed to be the better console as far as graphics and power go.
Then there's the Revolution - i have no idea about this console
So i put it to you - who is the best?

The PS3 is the best when you equip it with all that its capable of. Like a HDTV, a 25GB Hardrive, conect to psp, online play and anything else they add. The PS3 is capable of going beyond gaming if you have what it can take. If you read all the specs it should cost about $500 that is too expensive depending on who you are. This is when the 360 comes in and try's to win buy releasing Halo 3 when PS3 is released, thats if it is released in March 2006. Dont forget Sony's Killzone 2 and A new Grand theft auto coming up. You can't really decide who is going to win yet so just wait until they are all released.
Dringo wants to rule out getting a PS3 because of the older licences that will feature on it?
Not good enough: you have no idea whether it'll appeal to you in the future or not.

Devil May Cry, Gran turismo, Ico, GTA, Pro Evo etc.. does not appeal to me in the slightest.

Zelda, Smash Brothers, Metroid Prime and Mario does appeal to me.

lol true.

No I'll get the Revolution for Mario, Zelda and pure original fun. I'll get it for two established franchises and the promise of a series of original fun titles.

Not true, I'm getting a 360 after all. I don't like the Playstation control, design, the software partners it has... I simple do not like the Playstation.

You still consider Mario original? Sheesh!

No, you won't get a PS3 because it's made by Sony! If Sony had withdrawn from the console market and the PS3 hardware was being released by Nintendo, you'd snap it up and be telling us all how appealing it is and how great it is that Ninty has finally grown up! :-)

Bit of a daft thing to say considering there's very little known about the PS3 line-up etc at this time.
A revolution doesn't appeal to me at the moment mainly because there's very little to go on at the moment. Should I rule out buying one because of this?

I'll get a revolution for the Zelda, Mario's and pure original fun.
I'll get the 360 for the quality adult software, the First Person Shooters and online gaming.

I never once said the company I work for would be any better or brought that into the argument, I said it was based on what I said of an opinion of a lead programmer of a major company on the south coast ;).
The fact that I work with ex-VIS employees is down to being Dundonian, getting my first job without having to relocate several hundred miles and getting experience. It's a very small company and will never have as good or as bad a reputation as a company like Rare.
It's also no where near the scale of the company VIS was, which wasn't big to begin with, so I'm basically working with the best VIS had, and they are good.
I wont go into specifics of how many people work for the company I'm at, or even the name of that company, as it was only founded in May, but with a little leg work, you might be able to find out for yourself.

Rare appear to have all but skipped a generation.
It'll be Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo that will show whether they've lost it, not the lightweight offerings they gave the Xbox.
Games take time, Rare have moved platforms a few times over the past few years (wasn't Kameo originally an N64 title - N64 to Cube to Xbox to 360... hmmm think that might take a while to update each time whilst making use of the more powerful console etc?).
Bonus you might want to re-think about Rare*.
We'll know soon enough when we finally get hold of PDZ and Kameo.
