Motion sensing really doesn't do much for Zelda, but it does work tremendously for Wii Sports, Madden 2007 and Rayman Raving Rabbids. In fact, it does more for me than better graphics do. While better graphics are just a part of video game evolution, motion sensing created an entirely new branch along that evolutionary trail. We forgot about joysticks when gamepads came along. The same will happen with gamepads. They'll be replaced with motion sensing controllers. I fought the joystick to gamepad evolution, but evetually accepted it. I freely accept the motion sensing controllers. Change isn't always easy to accept, but it is inevitable.
Wii doesn't support DVD, blah, blah, blah...who cares? I think I have seven machines capable of playing DVDs in my house. I don't want to pay any extra for DVD support when I don't need it. It's a game system, people. I don't need it to play DVDs, pretend to be a PC, perform a tiresome role as a half-ass stereo, wash my dishes, etc., etc.
For me, the next generation starts when I say so (when I buy a console). It started about a month ago when I finally found a Wii. I'm sure Sony's shareholders are begging for the next generation to begin before their retirement savings are gone.
I'd probably get an Xbox 360 and some games (Gears of War and Dead Rising, especially). Maybe, I'd hold out for some of the Wii and DS games coming out soon. I'd let the PS3 collect dust where it belongs.
