I love my PS3, but can definitely see the appeal of a system with motion control gaming. Would picking up a Wii now be a bad idea? I see that PS3 has its "Gem" technology due out in Spring 2010, which isn't too far off.

Should I wait, or do you find your Wii to be a worthwhile investment as well?

If the GEM is anything like the Sony EYE or the EyeToy of the PS2, I'd recommend a Wii, but there's no way to know how Sony will treat the device until it is released.

To be honest I've had a wii, and right now I have the other three platforms, Wii is definitely the weakest IMO

I own both a Wii and a PS3 and I like and play my Wii more.

Edit:

Also, I really don't think the Gem will be good. Sure the technology will be great, but it will be a lot of money, and most devs won't develop games for it. I could be wrong though...

I have a PS3 and a Wii I frankly can't see a way to not have both of them.

My PS3 is my main console this generation but the Wii is fantastic as a secondary console for niche and multiplayer games. The majority of all people don't like these niche games though so I'm not sure if you would enjoy a Wii like I do.

I don't own a Wii for motion-controls though, I actually find that more of distraction in most games.

I own a Ps3 and a Wii, and it's a great combination. I can't enjoy all the multiplats and PS3 exclusives, and have my Wii for the always amazing Nintendo first-party titles.

I have no interest in motion control, but I would say if you want it, you should grab a Wii. The PS3 accessory will probably cost $100 anyways, you might as well spend $100 more and get the Wii so you can have access to their 1st-party franchises like Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, etc. Not to mention developers who are really invested in motion control would rather develop for the Wii (60M install base) rather than the PS3's Gem, which will probably have at most 5M users by the end of 2010.

I haven't used my Wii for ages. Motion control is tedious and the games are not to my liking. I think my wife uses it for exercise stuff. Gem is something I can also do without although I suppose these types of things might be good if you have a lot of friends around.

I've got a Wii (no 360 though) and rarely use it. There aren't many games with any appeal to me but maybe it's because I grew up with the PSone and not the N64 :?

No but I do own a 360.

Plan to get a Wii when The Legend of Zelda is closer to release. Then I can enjoy that, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and Metroid: Other M.

I have a Wii, it's a nice machine...It depends on what kind of gamer you are. I have many, many friends that only have a 360 or PS3, or have a PS360, but don't have or want a Wii.

So, I guess it comes down to your taste in games. I don't play the Wii as much as my other machines, but that's more because the lack of online, poorly implimented online, lack of HD, and huge lack of multiplats. I do play as many good exclusives as I can though. Not nearly enough compared multiplats like Batman, Borderlands, GTA, Tekken 6, Blazblue, Streetfighter 4, etc. You name the multiplat, most likely it's not on Wii.

The PS2 when it was popular in it's day got the multiplats (SF, GTA, etc), the Wii is like the Gamecube when looking at 3rd party support. So when people compare the Wii to the PS2, I never will understand that.

Good machine, but like I said, it depends on what kind of gamer you are. My lady plays it too, so I tell her it's for her sometimes.

I have a Wii. I have way too many PS3 game begging for attention, but i do find time for some quick fun rounds of Wii Sports Resort. The motion control on that game is alluring and fun. But it wont be long before the PS3 motion control ( and Natal )comes out and i think my Wii will become obsolete at that point,

Nope, I own a 360 though. The Wii has nothing that even remotely interests me, therefore I will never buy one.

Hardly play my wii compared to 360 and ps3.

If you play your way wii more so than 360 and ps3, then it gives a pretty good idea of the types of games your into.

It does, but does having Banjo on the classic compare to the games on VC? That even if classic games are something he is looking for. I would have to say no myself.

I don't own a wii per se, yet I have 3 wiimotes (two really sick black ones from asia) and the ability to play wii games. They system is good, but not great. I wouldn't recomend spending 200 dollars on it, maybe if it was 150 or came with a game or two.

wii is only good for occupying small children at parties while you play crysis with your friends on 3 monitors and a 5970.snowyfleury
This comment highlights the general opinions towards the Wii. Pretentious and jealous, yet failing to accept the Wii success and wider audience it attracts that no other console does.

Don't get the Wii just because it makes use of motion controls. Look at the library of games the Wii offers and see if anything interests you at all. There are a few games out there where the motion controls are used a little bit, but not overdone; like Super Mario Galaxy. Avoid what it referred to as shovelware and you'll be fine.

I myself own a Wii and there are more than enough games on that console to keep me using it. Again though, I can't stress this enough, don't buy the console unless there are enough games that interest you.

Solid system with great games. All you need right there to buy a system.

Unless of course, they don't appeal to you.

How can you despise something that you haven't owned? It's like hating someone you've never met. It just doesn't make sense.

That's not a very good analogy. I hate Hitler but I never met the guy. Is that illogical? But yeah, I get your point. Try it before you cry about it.

I'd say save your money.

I have A PC, 360, PS3, and Wii.

I rarely use my Wii and only occasionally use my PS3.

Oh no I've played it before. I've played SSBB, Mario Kart Wii, and some things on Wii Sports. Definitely the last console I'd ever buy
