Wii is great but IMO you need a 360 to balance it out. Likewise you'd be missing out with a 360 but no Wii.

PS3 has one game.

Dammit! Are you telling me that when I get home, all my PS3 games but 1 will have disappeared? Should I call the police?

In the end we pay more for games than the actual system. I have 17 Wii games so far, which comes to about 1200$ with tax. Not to mention accessories and all that junk. So, at the end of the generation, I really don't look at the system's price.

Also, aren't Wii games like...10$ cheaper? Atleast I think most are, all my 360 games have been 69.99 (CANADIAN), and my Wii games 59.99. I think some PS3 games come to 74.99 no?

10 games for each that comes to 680$ for 10 Wii games and 795$ for 10 360 games. This might be different depending on where you live, but there is a bit of difference there.

I hope not, got 29 games on my PS3 in total and ending up with just 1 game would be terrible for me....

They told me the suspicion of having my games stolen was not something that they dealt with and to call back when I knew for sure.

Now I am all worried and antsy....I should tell my boss I am sick so I can get home quicker!

Value wise I'd give it to the PS3. Mainly because it has Blu Ray coupled along with it.

This.

And in UK PS3 is certainly the best value for money. Wii is friggin £180 and barely cheaper than a 360.

Wii is the worst value this gen, It should be the same price as a PS2 since they are about the same in hardware.

I don't think so.

Remember that PS2 couldn't even handle Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition as it features the superior Gamecube visuals. And the Wii is twice as powerful as the Gamecube.

Wasn't there a study done and they found the Wii sells the least number of games out of all three console systems? Yeah, real good value.

After all the extra controlers I probably payed as much for my wii as I did for my PS3. The real value is what I play more, and sadly my wii has collected dust ever since I beat SMG. The PS3 gets constant use though.

No I'm pretty sure it is the Wii, anyone got a link to that report?

-edit

Never mind I found it myself.

Its also a great value for people who like sharing random codes that change from game to game so they can have to potential of playing against their friends online.

If that were the case then the Wii wouldn't be able to play Gamecube games flawlessly. The Gamecube has considerably more graphics processing power than the PS2, and the Wii has even more than the Gamecube. FACT.
