New Console

At the moment I am thinking of getting a next generation console. Here are some of the pros and cons of each console I have gathered.

Wii:

Pros:

-Cheap
-Fun to play with
-Free Internet
-A lot of games I want to buy for it
-Good console to keep my arm active :P
-Good multiplayer console

Cons:

-I may get bored of it after awhile
-May destroy my TV if I am not careful :P
-I may have to waste money on accessories (like the wheel for Mario Kart)
-Graphics are not as good as the other consoles

360:

Pros:

-Xbox Live
-BF: Bad Company :P
-Cheap (depending on type)
-A reasonable game library
-graphics are great

Cons:

-Xbox Live isn't free :(
-Some of the games I want, I already own for the PC


PS3:

Pros:

-blu ray player
-free online gaming
-great graphics
-great controller (If it is anything like last generation)

Cons:

-Very expensive
-Not much games for it I want to play (May change in the future)
-Bit of a waste considering I have no HDTV


At the moment I am leaning towards the Wii since it is cheap and there are many games I want for it. I am also interested in how the wii is set up and how the position of the controller influences the game. And yes, I am aware that the Wii revolves around 'fun' games rather than serious games but it isn't like I don't already have a console for serious games. My PC has serves that purpose.

I would like to here your opinions on the consoles and what console you would get if you were in my position. :)

BTW: I have decided not to get WoW just yet. I think I am going to try out some other MMORPGs before moving onto WoW like 2Moons. ;)

Ok, it is 1:00 AM, I am going to sleep. Goodnight :P
