First. Games. Microsoft has been picking up all the rookies with a lot of potential while Sony has stuck with it's companies that have made great games in the past but are old and need to retire. The most relevant example is SqaureEnix. They made some of the greatest games ever, but they can't keep up with the younger generation's needs and wants and will suffer dearly for their inability to keep up. Sony will be plagued by this in the future and Microsoft will pull ahead as it's picking up the younger, more fresh players while Nintendo will continue making kids games and games that are "fun," which will keep them in the race as much if not more than Sony.
Second. Reliability. Ps2 had more problems than any fan would admit. Ps3 has be enduring many, many problems in it's first few weeks of release. Granted 360 had a number of problems in it's initial release, Ps3 still should look better than this.
Third. Capabilities. On a scale of 1-10 for total game graphics, sound and playability, the consoles rate as fallows. Wii 5-6. Xbox 360 8. Ps3 8.5-9. They're really isn't much difference between the 360 and the Ps3. Xbox has a rich online community that Ps3 will have to copy to keep up. Wii's online allows downloads of old NES and some Sega games. Plans for Nintendo 64 games are in the works for download able content.
Ps3 has Blu-ray and if you believe that's the future of DVD then you'd be better off buying a Ps3 than a Blu-ray player as the Ps3 is about $200-$1000 cheaper than a player.
360 has a HD-Drive that you can purchase for $200 and if you believe HD-DVD is the future then there you go.
Wii has no DVD support.
Wii is the cheapest system and it would be "fun." Nintendo has always been a parent friendly system and is great for younger kids.
Ps3 is the most expensive system($599 for the top system,) and would be good as a Blu-ray player.(If you want to argue the hard drive, you can buy a USB drive for XBOX and have more space than Ps3 and still be cheaper.)
360 is the ladder and has a much better set up over Sony and Nintendo. Games are great and you can expect a lot of exclusive games from 360 in 2007.
Get a 360.

Well right now from what i have read the PS3 is having its problems. This happens with most consoles at launch. At the moment i would say that the 360 has the lead, because its been out for over a year now. It has more games that look better than the PS3. Now this could all change down the road for Sony when developers get better at making games for it. So i say in a year well will deff know what is better.
And the WII well its a cheaper system, does not have as good as graphics. But i heard it is still a blast to play. It also does not play CD's or DVD's but really who cares, who doesnt have a DVD player by now......

The PS3 is without question extremely more powerful than the Wii. It has more complex, more realistic games not to mention the BlueRay DVD player etc.
BUT - the Wii is fun. Big fun. It would be much more useful than a PS3 at a party thats for sure. So they both have their merits. The PS3 is clearly the more powerful and 'better' machine on paper, but Nintendo have done a great job with the Wii cornering the fun factor.
I for one will be buying both.

Depends whos goign to be playing mostly.
Wii is targeted towards younger players and new gamers or simply the "easy" gamers.
PS3 and 360 are targeted towards core gamers. There are games like Halo, call of duty and other mature content games that involve shooting and killing.
The WII also feature the motion sensored gaming style. Its a fairly old concept but is now being pushed as the main game play style. If you like games that involve motion like tennis and bowling then i would go with the WII.

Well i have an xbox 360 and it has had its problems ( not mine though). with all honest i would wait untill a console is at least a year old, by that time most of the big problem will be resolved. they don't make many two player games for 360, but they are starting to.

No. The Wii isn't fun and the graphics are too weak

It is better beacuse it is more Interactive than any other game System available.
