I have a PS3 and I like great single player experiences more then Multi, the problem is theres basically only 1 game for each system that I want right now.

360 = Mass Effect

Wii = Mario Galaxy

So when it comes down to it it depends on the other games that I might like, because it would suck really bad to buy a system for only 1 game.

360

Halo 3 = not interested in

Bioshock = not interested in either, this i was semi-interested about, but i watched the gametrailers review and a lot of it just looks kinda boring, and i've played up to my neck in FPS im tired of them no matter what new things they bring to the table.

The racing games im not familiar with, (Forza and PGR? i think) = not gonna get cuz im waiting on Gran Turismo prologue and 5

COD4 = not interested in because the singleplayer i've heard is short, which is a nono for me, and I could get it on PS3 anyway if i wanted but i wont

Alan Wake = next year and i dont even know when, but im EXTREMELY interested in this game.

Mass Effect looks amazing though, a game i've always wanted to play involves going through space, seeing other planets, stuff like that, which is basically what mass effect and mario galaxy are whether they're made up planetsor not, (even though i've heard Mass Effect's planets are dull and boring im not sure)and Spore wont come out in a long time.

Also i've seen everyone list a bunch of games for 360 in 08' but Idont know any of them/never played them,except splinter cell which i'd end up getting based on the reviews, i liked all the splinter cells onthe original xboxbut the series is getting a bit tired.

Wii

Super Smash = i'll probably get it if i get a wii, but I see that game as the kinda game you play with your friends in one room, nobody i know has a Wii, if this has multiplayer like online like PSN and 360 then this might bring me more towards getting a Wii

Mario Kart = ^same as super smash it doesnt feel like a singleplayer experience, even though I loved super smash and mario kart on N64

Zelda = i've never played a Zelda game so i really dont know if i'd like this

Metroid Prime = another FPS, which is eh and it just seems like a Resistance to me (ofcourse a completely different game but same value) Resistance was like ...eh to me, it was ok but after I beat it i never touched it again.

Resident Evil 4 = This might put me more towards Wii, BUT i've heard from a friend of mine who played it on PS2 that the main character moves so slow like a tank and it made the game really annoying to him, i've never played it but i dont want a game where the main character (when aiming his gun) moves slow or cant move like other 3rd person shooters

Im a pretty open gamer, (I liked Folklore, Warhawk, Uncharted, and Assassins Creed for ps3), pretty much fantasy/adventure type games, role playing once in a while, and 3rd person shooters.

I wish Nintendo would announce more games for 08' to sway my decision more, if they announced a new Star Fox i'd get a Wii right now. N64 was one of my favorite systems ever along with Super Mario 64, which is why I cant really fathom not playing Mario Galaxy because it looks so good, but Mass Effect + Alan Wake looks great too.

Out of the genre's I listed or secondary games compared to the main ones that i want, would I be more geared towardsa Wii or 360? and can someone explain the problems I mentioned with Resident Evil or if i'd like Zelda, thanks

I would say get a Wii over a 360, though, if you don't plan on throwing that many parties or like inviting friends over constantly then get a 360. If you can find a Wii get one then sell it on ebay for like $800+ (since it is the holidays) then buy both a Wii and 360.

Wii because you have PS3. If you didn't than 360 by a mile. Wii is usless unless you play with your family/or you love Nintendo so much.

I prefer the Wii.

The 360 just doesn't interest me that much, too much casual stuff all in the same genre.

Wii because you have a ps3 already.

a ps3 and 360 combo will not give you to amount of variety of games that the ps3 and wii would.

From reading your post it seems like the Wii is the better choice.

Metroid Prime 3 IS NOT LIKE RESISTANCE AND IS NOT AN FPS. It's an adventure game with guns. The main focus is not to shoot things but to explore and solve puzzles.

Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games of all time and if you haven't played it then you definately need it. Don't listen to your friend.

you can't run & gun in RE4

both smash bros. and mario kart wii will have online mp

you will like Zelda and SMG a lot

you would probably like Bwii a lot, part strategy, part 3rd person shooter

also, games like wario ware and zack & wiki arent really playable on any other system

Get the wii, its worth it

Basing on your game preference, and the fact that you have a PS3. Id say, go for a Wii.
