Comment Local Multiplayer FTW (Score 1) 491
I've got all three systems, and although I tend to enjoy playing the 360 and PS3 more when I'm gaming alone, when friends come over it's all about the Wii.
There are a disturbing number of games for PS3/360 that have left out local (couch based) multiplayer, choosing instead to focus on online gaming. Motorstorm comes to mind. I actually bought a second controller so that I could race against friends. I guess I should have checked beforehand, but who would have thought that they'd put out a racing game (one that was meant to sell the system, no less) where you can't race against the person sitting next to you! Crackdown for the 360 was another one where they only support 2 players online. Online gaming is fun (if you can stand the great unwashed that is Xbox Live), but none of my friends have any of the next-gen systems, and they're not planning on getting them until they get a lot cheaper. So when they come over and want to play a game, chances are we're playing the Wii.
