What consoles do you own, which are you playing?

Xbox360 and Wii.
I find myself playing the 360 much more than the Wii, however I do try to use the Wii Fit each night. Not to exercise, but just to track weight. The 360 get much more use.

PS3 and Wii I grew up on Nintendo, so some of the classics (Zelda, Mario) only will come out on this system. I also use it to play alot of the SNES/NES classics. Other then that I don't really turn it on. My Wife plays Animal Crossing a lot, but I don't find myself wanting to play it alot. PS3 on the other hand, I just Played through MGS4 and trying to finish up Bioshock. Also looking forward to Resident Evil 5. I also use it as my primary movie player since its BluRay and I can stream AVIs from my computer or run from a USB drive. So my PS3 gets atleast few days a week of play, where my Wii can sometimes sit for a month untouched.

PS3, PS2, Wii, 360.
I have rarely used the 360 since getting ps3 - bluray and 1080p output FTW. Just as a for instance - Lego Starwars Complete Saga - on 360 it outputs 720p and is awesome. However, on PS3 you can output 720p, 1080i, or 1080p natively from disc itself. 1080p output from a game that is exactly the same makes a significant difference on my 50" 1080p screen.
This is one of the benefits of the much larger bluray discs - this is not being upscaled in three choices - this is natively available on disc in three resolutions. When buying for PS3 I check the back to make sure the game has 1080p natively or else 360 gets edge due to better online market saturation assuming its an online capable game (PS3 getting better though). The elite 360 is able to output 1080p due to hdmi through scaling- however, no games for 360 are currently natively provided in 1080p - this is concession of being a dvd versus bluray system. This is difference in scaling your dvd to 1080p versus playing a native 1080p bluray disc which is markedly better depending on your screen size and quality.
Wii - loved zelda, super mario world is great as well - however the kids and wife play it mostly. I rarely console anymore to be honest. At least until God of War 3 comes out which I think will be the first true system seller for PS3 and will use every drop of its bluray disc - can't wait.

N64 and PS1, I last played Perfect dark a few months ago on the N64 (total of 10 days on that one) and loderunner 3D (awesome game by the way, although it gets beyond spoon bending in difficulty later on).
As you can guess the consoles don't have a big part in my game playing, I started with an Amiga (still got an Amiga 4000), although I got into consoles I've always preferred strategy/RPG games which the PC is superior at.
