figure it out yourself... if you want it buy it... if you don't like it don't get it... we shouldn't have to tell you if you should or not.

If you own the PS3 and 360 why do you want another one? Anyways the Wii is really good because the game its motion sensitivity brings a new aspect to gaming. You will never go back to using the buttons. It may not have the graphics but the gameplay is really good. The games are all about amazingly fun gameplay.

You decided to own two systems that are virtually identical rather than mix things up with something unique?

I agree.  They still look sharp though. The Wii has a very sleek Mac look to it. Also, the Wii games are going to be good. If you like the N64, you'll love the Wii. And the VC is cool.

If you already own a PS3 and 360, then the Wii isn't really worth it. It's not going to offer anything that's leaps and bounds better than anything you'll get to play and experience on your other consoles.

Hmm well its going to be upto if you like the controller. The few games that aren't multiplatform or bad are coming out very far and few. Like next month is the first time since lauch the wii actually gets a pretty good full game. The wii is too filled up with quirky minigames that made the ds a huge success. If you ask me, go ahead and get a wii. Play zelda, try a fps *AVOID FAR CRY:VENGENCE AT ALL COSTS*, give a minigame collection a shot to see if their for you, next month get super paper mario. That'll last you about 2 months. Though, after super paper mario there isnt really a decent game for quite awhile. Well there are quite a few of virtual console games, and you could try those out as well.

Coming from a person who ownes all 3 consoles, i gotta say the wii gets you the least bang for your buck. 50$ more you get a 360 which pours with decent games every month. Though the motion controls could win your heart, and you'd never want to go back to a normal controller. If you ask me, its not that much different than a gamepad and a sensor-based lightgun combined.

Yea, I know, both ps3 and 360 use motion senors as the main form of gameplay too :roll:

Look, I respect your desicion to buy a PS3 and 360. I really do. But in reality, they're the same systems with the same games, with very, very few exclusives. I think you should be kicking yourself for getting both and not getting one and a Wii.

wii is so much different than the 360 ps3. you should get it because it will give you totally different kinds of fun games that you cant get on the 360 or ps3.

Mostly because the gameplay is so great and fun. Also, the Wii is the cheapest system so it is more affordable.

You should try to get this stickied. That way, next time some guy comes along and says "OMG shold mii git teh Wii?!?!?", he'll hopefully see this thread and look inside it, before him laying the obvious answer, YES YOU SHOULD GET THE MOTHERF***ING WII!!!!!

Sell one, and buy Wii with the cash. The rest of the cash use it on games for both consoles

Well i have a ps3 and 360 also so i went out and bought a wii i took it back in 5 days b/c its for little kids. No good games are comming out for it i heard that the online is going to delay for like a couple months to a year so i dont think its really worth it just buy games for your ps3 and 360 you will have more fun with them then you ever will with a wii unless your like 8 years old.TheKillersMind

the Wii is probably the most pure fun to play out of all the systems. i've spent hours in wii sports alone, not to mention the four other games i have. plus, with upcoming titles like Super Smash, Super Paper Mario, BWii, and No More Heroes, plus some great recently released games like Super Swing Golf (awesome imo) and SSX Blur, PLUS some truly excellent VC titles, there's no better time to buy a Wii. i'd be willing to buy it over again even if it was more expensive.

Sorry for the off topicness, but what proof do the Mayans have of this? People are freaking out about it, but I havent even heard why. The end of the world has been predicted like...7 times already, what makes this in any way special?

No, the Wii is not worth $249. But I don't feel the the PS3 is worth $599(I understand Blu-Ray is there, but unless you have 1080p, which I do, it's pointless). So it goes without saying. The Wii is probably worth $99, while the PS3 is $299 without Blu-Ray.

Oh 360? that's a strange one, the console itself warrants the $399 tag if you get the premium system, but all the things aside like peripherals are way too much(though I know of a place where wireless controllers are a mere $30).

BTW no next-gen title is worth $60 either.
