I decided to get a Wii as I consider my PC better for any game that i'd want to play on an X-Box or a PS3.
Wii is a fun unit to play, especially when you have a few people around to play golf or bowling.
It does have it's problems.
1. It's ability to play flash movies from the internet was a major reason I purchased it. I wanted to be able to sit back and use the wiimote instead of a mouse. This however isn't really ideal as the system comes with a severe lack of memory, assuring that 1/4 through the band of brothers episode I was watching stalls AND due to the limitations of many online flash video players, you have to watch from the start when you reload the page.
2. Call of duty 3. Great game. But in intense fights I have frequently had problems with the system running out of juice. The controls become 'uncontrolable' frames per second drops into single digit area and it's basically un-playable. A sign that the Wii is just not as good as it needs to be hardware wise.
Still, it's a good machine but I would have been happy paying a little more for a more power. It needs more System memory and could have used a more powerful GPU, IMO they should have tried to rival the x-box with Power, that along with the wiimote would have ruled.
To me all the PS3 has going for it is the Blu-ray although i've heard it is a very poor quality drive in it.
X-Box will probably win with Wii getting a lot of sales with non-gamer markets. The PS3 will dwindle in sales causing game makers to not bother with it, causing a lack of games which causes a lack of people wanting one. The thing is too expensive.
