What game console should you buy in 2007?

The next generation of gaming is finally upon us. The PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii. They're all available for purchase, each with a massively different price and a whole slew of different features. It can get to be quite overwhelming, especially with the misinformation people spread over the Net (not to mention the BS of the fanboys). And that, my dear test-taking friend, is why I created this test.

Maybe you're looking into buying a next-gen console and can't decide which one to get. Maybe you know which one you want, but are wondering if you made the wrong choice. Or maybe you're just really freakin' bored. Regardless, all you have to do is answer some questions about your situation and what's important to you, and I'll tell you which game console you're best suited for. And in case you were wondering, I myself do own all three consoles, so I have at least a bit of an idea what I'm talking about. And I'm a huge nerd, besides.
