Easily.... Wii60. PS3 has nothing to offer over 360, except Blu-ray which the HD-DVD makes up for easy. Besides, I don't plan on using consoles for playing back HD content. Sadly, I still do not own a 360, but picked up a Wii a couple weeks after it's release. I'll never regret it.

I love the Wii. I hear people saying the novelty will wear off... sure, maybe if there's 1 game for it, but there's a huge lineup of games planned for release in 2007, and I doubt they'll get old anytime soon.

And BTW, this "kiddie" system has my father and father-in-law both playing it, and they've never picked up a console before. Awesome.

As for it playing back DVDs, I think they still have that planned. There's quite a bit of flexibility and expandability built into this thing, so I don't doubt they'll have something before 2007 ends.

It doesn't have the same hardware and graphics level as the 360 or PS3, but does it need it? It's innovative controls in combination with fun games more than make up for it... hell, I still enjoy playing some of the old NES games. Graphics aren't as important to me as the gaming experience itself, and as far as that goes, Wii wins.

I choose the 360 over the PS3 because the 360 easily has more to offer. The Live! service can NOT be beat... Sony tried, but failed miserably. Sony... lost it's focus trying to compete with 360. Too much hardware for just a fricken gaming system. The result? Crappy expensive paperweight. People say "Wii is just Gamecube 2"... I don't get that. Have these Sony fanboys taken a look at the history of playstation? Besides some slight improvements in graphics each time, NOTHING really changed. The Wii was a huge step in gaming evolution... there are more factors than graphics (which it did improve on over Gamecube, although not heavily).

Hooray Wii60!

Nintendo has only the same games..(mario,zeld,metroid ect.). Sure great games but comon....show me something new. People hate the PS3 cause they dont have one. Im sure yall remember when DVD plyers first came out and people were like, heck no! Too expensive. VHS works fine. Now most people cant even remember when the had to rewind a movie so that Blockbuster wouldnt chrage extra. See the pattern that happens when new technology comes out. Dont get me wrong, the Wii does look like pretty cool, and will eventully buy one, but if you gave me a choice....PS3+360. HANDS DOWN! M$ and Sony have that modern day rivalry that sega and nintendo once had...while Atari, the godfather to many just sat back and accepted that the times have changed.

Time do some WiiFending.
I don't think you quite get it.... There really isn't anything NEW about the Xbox360 or the PS3... sure better graphics and stuff, BUT they are just doin' the same OLD thing with a face lift. Nintendo is TRYING SOMETHING NEW unlike everyone else.

and all this jazz about Kiddy games... if it's fun, PLAY IT! you don't have to be all macho about it.... what's wrong with exercising your timing and coordination with a game like Monkey Ball? Also, First Person Shooters can get borring after a while.

Another thing, the whole "I HAVE TO HAVE BETTER GRAPHICS!!!" Sure, they should improve the graphics and stuff over time, but it should be all about the CONTENT? Also, why should it matter if the Wii plays DVD movies or not? if you're going to have 2 consoles, the Xbox360 plays DVDs. Also, most people nowa days have a DVD player already. what's the point in having 10 devices that do the same thing?

Plus, Nintendo had 'the regular person' in mind, someone who can't sling around $400-$600 on a whim...


Ok, I'm done =)
