I think out of the three consoles, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, the Wii is probably the best of them.
It's the cheapest, smallest, and looks to be the most fun to play with.
I have a Xbox 360 and for me, it was a poor investment. Sure, there's nice features and games, but it's a big money pit that is constantly depreciating in value. Same goes for the PS3.
The Wii might last longer because it looks so much like an Apple product. They have 'easy' to play games and there's constantly new games for it. Plus, it's marketed mostly toward children and females.
I'm not suggesting that if you own one, you're a child or a chick :roll: , just saying that's the target audience.
