When I purchase a game system it's definately going to be a WII. I've had my beefs with Nintendo in the past (remember Mortal Kombat SNES version vs Genesis?), but it's time to buck these companies charging $600 for a game system. Sony is not leveraging technology correctly (no reason not to have easily upgradeable optical drives so that I can get Blu-ray when the price is sane...and for service reasons in case the optical drive breaks and you have a unit that's cheaper to replace than repair). Microsoft is trying to compete with Sony so they don't really care about leveraging technology either.

I haven't owned a Nintendo system since the SNES...and I've owned multiple PS1's and PS2's...so I'm no anti-Sony/pro-Nintendo fanboi. Sony's screwing up and my money's going to a company that looks like it cares more about the pocketbooks (and waistlines!) of it's consumers.

I don't think Xbox is trying to compete with Sony, Xbox has almost 10 million more units sold than PS3. Wii will be good for a little while, but do you think they will be able to make a variety of games down the road or are there going to be many repeat games brought out.
All 3 companies are after the pocketbook. I went with the 360, not disappointed can't beat the graphics offered. If Nintendo can keep on bringing out different games for the Wii Then I'll buy that too, but I won't if it only has 15 cool games and the rest normal games avalible on other systems.
