Some of you like the Wii... some of you hate it. I'm not sure of it yet. Now listening to a couple of podcast and reading some post. I've noticed that most people that own a Wii have a 360 or a PS3. I own all 3. I'm glad I've got a Wii... but can't say I'd be happy if that's the only console I had. I'd feel like I was a generation behind somehow... Maybe it's because I'm a graphics whore and a technophile. So here goes.

If you only own one console this gen, you're going to be missing out, no matter what it is.

So far just a wii, but I will be getting a 360 later this year not because I dont think the wii is good enough to stand alone but because the 360 was much better than the original xbox.

So the Wii isn't a good console in all by itself? You have to have another system to work as a crutch? That's pretty sad.

It could be viewed as the other systems aren't good enough by themselves either. And this generation we're given options.

360 and Wii. For most games I still play 360, and Wii is my ultimate party console.

I have a Wii and a 360 thus far, probably getting a PS3 late this year or early next year. If you only have one console any generation you're missing out on a lot.

At the moment, I just have the PS3 (an option not given due to constraints), however I plan to buy a Wii in the next few years, so I opted for the PS3 & Wii option.

Not really, you'll still be missing out on some great games. Unless some of your friends have the other two and are willing to let you borrow them.

Where is option, "None of the Above"?

Why would someone pay 250+ for a peice of hardware with limited functionality?  If a developer makes a game that requires (X) units of (Y=optical format, processor speed, etc) that game should function on any machine that meets those requirements. 

I'll purchase each console when they meet the following critera:

Each console must have at least:

ALL CONSOLES:  10 High Quality RPG's, 5 High Quality Shooters, 5 High Quality Strat games, 5 High Quality Sports Games, 5 High Quality Games of Other Genres.

Price per console (quality of hardware)

PS3 -- 300 USD

XBOX360 -- 300USD

WII -- 100 USD

Most of the worthwhile high graphics games are coming to the PC

Ah well looks like you aren't getting a console it seems. No chance of having 5 high quality strategy games on a console. Even if you remove that criteria I reckon 2009 for the 360, PS3 2012 and Wii 2010/2011

I plan to own a 360 in addition to my Wii; the only reason I buy Nintendo consoles is for the 1st party games.

:x. Go buy 3rd party games so we get more support. :P

Well, I buy the third parties as I go along.  The first parties are the main reason I bought the console.

right now, all i own is a ps3. ill prolly pick up a wii sooner or later(definately need mp3 and brawl first, maybe a price drop too). i want to get an hdtv first and then ill see how much cash ive got left over. but i could never own a wii as my only console. all the current library has shown is that it is (once again) up to nintendo to provide for its console.

Were only 78 votes in and I think it's already a good representation of what SW posters own.

Me, I only own a Wii right now. i'm still torn between the 360 or PS3.
