Not only is it the least expensive and easiest to use, but it has games which can rival the other two systems in sheer fun factor, and surpass them in my opinion. Smash Bros. Brawl is enough of a reason if you're a Nintendo fan. But if you absolutely need hardcore graphics and lots of guns, obviously this is not the system for you. If you want games to just be fun and not consume your life, then this is a good choice. It also has free online multiplayer and virtual console which are huge advantages to me since I'm not the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
