wii all the way. I'm looking for something different. I haven't bought a console since the n64 and playstation because of this (xbox, ps2 and gc all bore me), but this gen looks to be providing some innovation for a change.

The poll could be a bit confusing, i get the joke, but i actually think it stops people for voting at the Wii.

ahh lighten up , people will vote for the wii if they want to even if craig has decided to be all clever and all

I sincerely hope the "falsely" reported prices here in the uk are true for the Wii, sounds like a steal to me.

Hard to make an ergonomic controller, when you are going to revolutionize game control

I just find the possibilities in the Wii controllers amazing, I'm looking a lot forward to try eg. Wii Sports

IMO, it's better to have one solid piece of hardware in both hands, than having two seperate pieces in your hands attached by only a string/cord

Seeing as after 10 months the 360 still has no compelling exclusive content I think its a no brainer that it would be a waste of cash. I can play all of its game on my PC, and for console gaming I prefer innovation and japanese content, so it'll be Wii and PS3 for me. Can wait for wireless Guitar Hero (best game ever imo) and new Metroids.

To be honest, I would only buy the Wii out of the three, but your argument is somewhat flawed. Whats to say that PS3 will have any compelling exclusive content? The reason why I am rather turned off by the PS3 and 360 is that its the old formula of the same old same old with better graphics. I want innovation, and I see that in the Wii.

The Wii is the first console to have me really excited in a long time to be honest. But theres no way I would want to go without MGS4, Gran Turismo HD, Devil May Cry 4, God of War 3, Virtual Fighter 5, Resistance Fall of Man, Ratchet and Clank , Killzone 2, Fatal Inertia, Coded Arms Assault etc...When I say exclusive content I don't see how that flaws my argument, when it comes to Japanese third party exclusives you just can't touch Sony.

Aside from the fact Gears of War is unreleased and is not based on a successful franchise its also rumoured to be coming to pc. And no, I wouldn't call PGR3 or DOA:"Extreme Beach Thingy"(lol) compelling content. If you felt the latter was really compelling shouldn't you at least remember its title?

You are assuming Sony can maintain that third-party support. If their sales don't satisfy third-party developers you could find your favorite third-party titles disappearing really quick. Third-party developers are concerned with making money. Given the high cost of making content for the system, if the third parties don't feel they are making the profits they want and it seems that profits will be better on one of Sony's competitors they will jump ship. If that happens the PS3 is nothing more than a budget blu-ray player, and that is assuming blu-ray also doesn't go under (Sony has had extremely bad luck getting their media formats accepted by the general populace). It is not that Sony will lose third party support. I don't pretend to be able to predict the decisions of the gaming community. But it is not impossible, and it is far more likely now than it has been at any point in the history of the Playstation console series.

Screw "next-gen" technology, the quality on ps3 and xbox 360 can be produced on a modern PC, but the gameplay and fun on the Wii can't be found anywhere else.

Going for Wii, thats for sure and maybe later on Xbox 360, when the price is right
