With the upcoming christmas release of the wii and the stealing of UK PS3's by Japs and Yanks. The prospect of a wii for christmas seems more likely i was wondering if it would be a wise investment. The controls look excellent although i remember when the game cube came out and that sunk like a lead baloon. Bascily i want to see if any nintendo fan boys can persuade me to get one please post any interesting info or pics. Happy posting! Please no jokes about the name ;).

Lets see...well, PS3 and Xbox 3-sucky are the same bland boring games offered by the Xbox and PS2, just given a dab of new paint so they don't hurt your eyes with ugly graphics.

The Wii is the only console offering innovation and new stuff.

I find Wii Sports the best game title ever.

The Wii is pretty much the only next-gen console to offer any innovation in terms of gameplay.

In my mind, if you have a decent gaming PC you have no real need of the 360. The PS3 is more interesting to me in a technological standpoint- but it's overpriced due to Sony's insistance on using the console to push it's bluray format, which has skyrocketed the price.

^ Yeah, the whole blu-ray thing is incredibly stupid. The PS3 could've been well over a hundred dollars cheaper.

I wouldn't bother getting any of the next-gen consoles just yet. The 360 and PS3 don't have much new to offer, and the Wii is gimmicky and overpriced; its experiences look like skin-deep affairs that would grow old quickly. The situation for all of them may improve in time.
