Wii, definitely. I'm not interested in the 360, xbox never appealed to me. As for PS3, maybe somewhere down the line I'll get one if there are enough good games out for it. Otherwise I don't really need it.

D: None of the above. I haven't bought a console since my PSX (In 1997); if I was going to throw that much money into a piece of electronics, it'd be my PC.

I already have a 360, and I'm definitely getting a Wii.

Not getting a PS3 anytime soon, unless it's for Christmas.

A game that "may involve red blood" doesn't sound like a game that's going to convince people that Nintendo isn't kiddy. Red Steel is the first game rated above T in how long now?

I'll be getting a Wii and an Xbox 360. I'll be getting the Wii for it's awesome Nintendo games respectively, and then an X360 for the more "traditional" control oriented games. and Sonic Next of course.

I'm not too enthused about any of these systems, nor do I see why two of them cost so much. I'd lean towards the Wii, but I'm kind of tired of Nintendo's inability to provide more games I'd be interested in buying lately. Like, their offering of titles lately is almost all sports games with Mario themes. How about creating some new characters for once? Or attracting more third party developers that appeal to a broader range of gamers my age? Though it is a quintessential cliche nowadays, Nintendo is kiddy. It's marketing does not follow its fanbase, it targets children year after year.

All I know is, if I buy any of these, my primary consideration will probably be how easy it will be to run homebrew code on it. B/c I'm way more interested in programming than actual gameplaying these days.

Wee-hee!

Yeah, I´ll get a Wii. Not only because to the new games but for the retro games you can download too.

Wii for me, tee hee! ( )

It's cheap, has the virtual console (and the awesome looking retro controller), and all of the Nintendo franchises I love so much.

I was planning on getting PS3, but... I like being able to pay my rent.

Um.

This poll sucks for lack of multivoting. Wii60 all the way

The Wii definitely comes first for me. Knowing how things work, I won't need to get either of the others, because the people around me will have them and I can play games on theirs, so... Yeah.

I want the Wii, first and foremost
Brawl, Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Corruption, Virtual Console, Excite Truck, WiiConnect24... Need I say more?

On the other hand, there's Kingdom Hearts III (who knows? It might be on the Wii, since Nintendo and Squeenix are working together again)
And Halo 3, but that's not a possibility for the Wii. Might be released for the PC though

Wii. So far, I want everything available on it. Its crazy control scheme makes me want it even more.

Eventually, I'll get the others for certain games to finish the series (Halo 3 and Kingdom Hearts III, if those are the last ones.).

Otherwise, just the Wii.

I would probaly get a 360 and a Wii. They both have incredible graphics (not saying PS3 isn't great either) The games are just masterpieces all by themselves and from what I see from E3 they will be fun. The only reason I didn't put PS3 up there is because of the price

Well I don't have $10001 to spend on a game console that'll only last 6 months, not to mention that I simply don't buy from Sony anymore after the rootkit incident, AKA How Sony Screwed Over Their Customers: Episode 91, plus it uses Blu-Ray technology which is home to all manner of icky DRM. 360 I might get in a few years when I find it in a hock shop for 50 bucks, but I don't really care for shooters, so there's not much reason to get it now. So Wii it is!

1$666 Canadian (coincidence?) for the console, $90 for tax (boo Ontario's ridiculous tax rate ), which makes $765; plus games at $80 a pop (boo Canadian prices and Ontario taxes again).

I'm probably going to get a PS3--but I'm waiting word of what game makers are going to do. If they begin to jump ship from sony, then I'll go for Wii instead. Otherwise, it is a PS3. However, I'm going to wait several generations of the model before buying it.

Wii, becuse uhm... it's affordable. And it have the games I want omg. DD

Wouldn't buy a PS3 however, becuse rootkits are BAD. Bad. And at the price of the PS3, I could buy a computer beating the one i'm using (so I rather spend a three more hundred dollars or so, and get a computer).
