I dont have one currently. I had a wii but sold it right after I beat Metroid Prime 3, and I kind of regret it, but not too bad. Hopefully this is true, cause Ive been wanting a 360 and this makes it cheaper than a wii:

Wii hasn't been turned on in months. 360 gets used almost daily.

I've got a couple 360s (one was "free"). I'll probably be getting a JP 360 before the end of the year.

I was going to get a Wii, but I have been let down by the titles and motion controls. The VC has died off too much as well. I've played with a Wii many times at a friend's house, and I just wasn't happy with it.

Have a Wii because I bought it from someone for $200 but I only played it for about a week then got bored of Wii sports. The price seem good considering I'm installing a modchip myself and might screw up. Then all these weird events happened, someone sold me zelda for $30 then got my hands on another one for the same pricem, kept one and sold the other for $40. Later got Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario and Metroid Prime 3 all mint for $60, then someone sold me another Mario Galaxy for $30 which I sold for $50. Then I order 2 wiikeys modchips just in case I screw up one, when they arrive I get 4. Start opening up the Wii and the cheap piece of crap $2 triwing screwdriver doesn't work on all screws, have to order a better one.

After months of wasting time finally go an order one, when it gets here I open the Wii, get lazy and leave it open for a few months. Then just in time I find out about this new Wii-clip for installing the chip so I order 2 of those then they arrive. Now I plug the clip... burn a game... no boot! Go to my friends house the games are fine, so I get angry come back home and leave the Wii all opened up in a bag. That was about 2 weeks ago and it still there, I still have some pieces here on my desk. I have one but I've never really played it.

I have a Wii and a PS3. The PS3 gets almost daily play, and the Wii maybe gets played once a week (and about half of that time is for GC games).

Part of the reason for the discrepancy, I think, is that the PS3 is hooked up to a 55" HDTV and the Wii is hooked up to a 27" SDTV. HD gaming on the PS3 is just so much more impressive and immersive that it is hard to get into anything on the Wii. I've probably played through almost a dozen games on the PS3 and also play lots of PS2 titles on it. On the Wii, I've beat Mario Galaxy and No More Heroes, played plenty of Wii Sports and gave Wii Fit a go for a few weeks - but nothing makes me want to keep coming back. That said, I do have a list of Wii games that I'd like to pick up at some point, so I am gonna keep it around - I still have hope!

By the way, If anyone has a cheap Metroid Prime 3, let me know. I was about 80% through that game last fall when my dogs decided they wanted to see what Wii discs tasted like. I'd like to finish it at some point, as it was lots of fun to play an FPS with the motion controls.

I have had the 360 since launch and picked up a few more along the way. The wife wanted a Wii.. so you know how that goes.. I didn't argue since I needed on for my collection anyway.. I just picked up a PS3 last Thursday. I got one of the new $399.99 80gb ones. I really enjoy the new gen consoles and see there is a place for them in our gaming world.

I picked up a 360 inexpensively a couple months ago. I mainly bought it to play Halo 2 and Fable, and for Fable 2 when it's released.
