XboxWii60 or PSWii both are great combinations. I have all three of the systems and up until three months ago I played the 360 most frequently. The arcade games for the 360 offer the best downloadable content out of all three systems (virtual console is great, but they're games I've beaten in my younger years).
The PS3 is the best hardware out there, but the 360 has some great exclusive titles. You did, however, express concern about variety. The exclusive titles on BOTH 360 and PS3 are very similar action/blood/guts type of gameplay, this is something that is very difficult to distance oneself from (unless you consider Wii, which you already own). "Kiddie" games are fantastic on both the 360 and PS3. 360 has Banjo-Kazooie and Viva Pinata to name a few, but PS3 has Ratchet and Clank and a fantastic back catalogue of PS2 games if you buy a backwards compatible PS3.
Now I know you mentioned a rabid loyalty for Nintendo and a biting hatred towards Sony, but if you are about the games, you really owe yourself the treat of experiencing some of the greatest games ever conceived by man - and the majority of those were released for the PS2.
Fallout 3 (which you also mentioned) will be a multiplatform title, as will Final Fantasy XIII, but Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still exclusive to PS3.
I love all 3 systems for what they bring to the table, I just find that the PS3 is the most versatile and future-proof of the 3 (and, for your information, I don't own a single FPS for the PS3). The 360 doesn't seem to have very many upcoming exclusives that you'd be interested in (judging from what little you've written thus far).
Whatever your decision ends up being, I really think you'll be pleased. I was in a similar situation as you about a year ago. Hopefully the Wii starts getting more developer support - and a new Zelda title.
