Nintendo Wii

Nintendo's lovable console has something for everyone, from family hits to mature games for the hardcore gamer. As we went to press, there were even rumors circulating about a possible price drop to $199. Regardless of whether that's true or not, the Wii is going to be a must-have item on every gamer's wish list; but then again, considering how well it sold, there probably aren't many families who don't already own a Wii.

Microsoft Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is going strong with a sexy new price tag (the Elite version clocks in at $299), a robust library of games and a slick online service that lets you play games, watch Netflix movies and manage your Facebook profile. A new Halo title heads the list of Xbox 360 must-haves but there are plenty more to choose from thanks to the deep back catalog of games.

Sony Playstation 3

Armed with a new slim form factor and a reduced price, the time is right for the PS3 to gain some ground on its competitors. Sure, having God of War 3 ready in time for the holidays would have been a major coup but PS3 owners have some incredible offerings to choose from, including a slick Blu-ray compilation that packages Kratos' two previous adventures into one bundle.

Nintendo continues its handheld dominance with the fantastic DSi. Not only can it play the entire DS catalogue but the DSiware service is home to some great downloadable hits like Pictobits and Base 10. Throw in the dual cameras and the Facebook functionality and the DSi might replace your iPhone as the only digital mobile device you need.

Sony PSP Go

Much like its bigger brother, the PS3, the PSP has gotten some work done and is now sporting a fresh new face and form factor. There's still no 2nd analog stick (come on, Sony!) but that doesn't stop the PSP from being one hell of a gaming platform. And thanks to some amazing titles like Gran Turismo, PSP owners will never have to worry about being bored when they're out and about.
