Console War

Note: PC is winner by default. Nothing can beat PC gaming. This is not about PC, do not bring it into this. Also, this is not about specific games. All three have good series, this is about the systems. From one fan-boy to another, I'd like to actually discuss this in not a "Ur mom" manner.
Pros:
Can play Blu-Ray
Can play movies
Can play Cd's
Games are Blu-Ray discs, therefore can hold more memory (ex. L.A. Noire on 1 disc on PS3 as opposed to two on X-Box)
Free internet
Second largest amount of exclusives
Older models can play PS2/PSX games
Controller is more suited for most things
The Wii knock-off is better the the X-Box Wii knock-off
Better graphic capabilities
More Memory originally
Higher default frame-rate
Rechargeable Controllers by default
Sleeker Design (even if it is heavier, it still looks nicer)
Quieter
Sensible Fan base
Cons:
Yellow Light of Death
Internet hacked
Updates. OH GOD, the updates.
Smaller controller is bad for people with larger hands
Harder to develop on
Greater initial sticker price ($600)
Sony is often stupid with things (ex. original add campaign (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkNPcUMffU))
Over heating
Pros:
Larger online community
Cheaper
Controller is better-ish for hardcore gamers
Cross Gaming Chat
More DLC's earlier
Halo
Cons:
Worse Frame rate
Louder
Red Ring of Death
Obnoxious kids
Not as many exclusive IP's
Worse Graphical capabilities
Horribly Outdated
If nudged while playing a game, disc will be scratched
Worse design (can only stand upright, white and green+shape doesn't go well together)
Kinect
Controllers require batteries, or purchase of rechargeable ones
Less memory on discs (ex. L.A. Noire requires 2 discs)
Pros:
Large amount of time spent on game design
ALL the exclusives!
Motion Controls
Nostalgia
Good, small design
Cheapest
Most family friendly
Wii Virtual Console
Cons:
Motion Controls
No Updates whats-so-ever
