QUOTE
Pursuant to the introduction of this new six-axis sensing system, the vibration feature that is currently available on DUALSHOCK® and DUALSHOCK®2 controllers for PlayStation and PlayStation®2, will be removed from the new PS3 controller as vibration itself interferes with information detected by the sensor.

Xbox 360 Hardware specifications
Specifications are also available at the official Xbox 360 website.[16]
The central processing unit (CPU), named Xenon (Microsoft) or Waternoose (IBM) is a custom IBM triple-core PowerPC-based design.[17]
* 90 nm process, 165 million transistors, 65 nm process SOI revision in 2007 [18]
* Three symmetrical cores, each one SMT-capable and clocked at 3.2 GHz
* One VMX-128 (IBM's branding for AltiVec) SIMD unit per core
* 128×128 register file for each VMX unit
* 1 MB L-2 cache (lockable by the GPU) running at half-speed (1.4 GHz) with a 128bit bus
* 34 gigabytes per second of L-2 memory bandwidth (256bit x 100 MHz)
* dot product performance: 9.1 billion per second
* 98 GFLOPS theoretical peak performance
* ROM storing Microsoft private encrypted keys
The "Xenos" graphics processing unit (GPU) is a custom chip designed by ATI. (Developed under the name "C1", sometimes "R500")[19] The chip contains two separate silicon dies: the parent GPU and the daughter eDRAM.
* 315 million transistors total
* 500 MHz parent GPU (90 nm TSMC process, 235 million transistors)
* 300 MHz 10 MB daughter embedded DRAM framebuffer (90 nm process, 50 million transistors)
o NEC designed eDRAM die includes additional logic for color, alpha blending, Z/stencil buffering, and anti-aliasing.
o 7 Render Output units
* 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically-scheduled shader pipelines
o 3 groups of 16 arithmetic logic units
o 1 ALU per fragmentpipe for vertex or pixel shader processing
o Unified shader architecture (This means that each pipeline is capable of running either pixel or vertex shaders.)
o Support for DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, support for future Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 shader models
o 2 Shader operations per pipe per cycle
o 40 Shader operations per cycle across the entire shader array
o Shader performance: 48 billion (48,000 million) shader operations per second (96 shader operations x 500 MHz)
* 14 Filtered & 16 unfiltered texture samples per clock
* Maximum polygon performance: 500 million triangles per second
* Texel fillrate: 8 gigatexel per second fillrate (16 textures x 500 MHz)
* Pixel fillrate: 4 gigasamples per second fillrate using 4X multisample anti aliasing (MSAA) or 1 gigapixel per second without multisample anti aliasing (8 ROPs x 500 MHz)
* Dot product operations: 24 billion per second or 33.6 billion per second theoretical maximum when summed with CPU operations
* 1 TFLOPS theoretical peak performance of CPU and GPU combined
Memory
* 512 MB 700 MHz GDDR3 (1400 MHz effective) RAM (Total system memory is shared with the GPU via the unified memory architecture.)
The system bandwidth comprises:
* 22.4 GB/s memory interface bus bandwidth (700 MHz × 2 accesses per clock cycle (one per edge) on a 128 bit bus)
* 256 GB/s eDRAM internal logic to eDRAM internal memory bandwidth
* 32 GB/s GPU to eDRAM bandwidth (2 GHz × 2 accesses per clock cycle on a 64 bit DDR bus)
* 21.6 GB/s front side bus (aggregated 10.8 GB/s upstream and downstream)
* 1 GB/s southbridge bandwidth (aggregated 500 MB/s upstream and downstream)
Audio
* All games must support at least six channel (5.1) Dolby Digital surround sound
* Support for 48 kHz 16-bit audio
* 320 independent decompression channels
* 32 bit processing
* 256+ audio channels
* No voice echo to game players on the same Xbox console; voice goes only to remote consoles
* Voice communication is handled by the console, not by the game code. This allows players to communicate online even if they are playing different games.
* Uses XMA codec (based on WMA Pro)
Video
All games are required to support a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a HD resolution of 720p with 2x full scene anti-aliasing enabled. The GPU can crossconvert the native 720p to other display resolutions (including 480i SDTV and 480p) and dynamically crop or scale 16:9 to fit 4:3 screens. Some games will optionally support 1080i and 480p native rendering, instead of rendering at a fixed 720p resolution and then crossconverting.

Xbox 360 : Is for gamer who can't wait to play Next-Generation, like 2.75G Phone (EDGE), not fully 3G
PS3 : It have it all, but expensive and stupid 499USD set.
Wii : For everyone, grandpa,grandma, baby, serious gamer. FUN + addictive.

. dammit, no more impulse purchase in the future 
) and seems a last minute act of desperation. as for the wii, it also has a shell for normal stuff no?
