you also have to keep in mind the technical limits of each respective machine. the wii isn't exactly a hardware powerhouse. both the 360 and ps3 are competing for the highest def market. the 360 offered gamers the red ring of death lottery for those who wanted to save a buck up front.

there's also a reason why the wii has built itself a less that positive reputation among less than casual gamers, let's take a look at the new releases for just this week...

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? Make The Grade,
Backyard NFL Football '09,
Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp,
Build-A-Bear Workshop: A Friend Fur All Seasons,
Carnival Games: Mini Golf,
Celebrity Sports Showdown
Circus Games,
Dancing with the Stars: We Dance!,
Disney Sing It, Disney Sing It Microphone Bundle,
Disney Th!nk Fast,
High School Musical 3: Senior Year Dance!,
Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009,
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon
Monopoly,
The Naked Brothers Band: The Video Game,
Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2,
Pet Pals: Animal Doctor,
Petz Rescue: Wildlife Vet,
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows,
SpongeBob SquarePants Featuring NickToons: Globs of Doom,
Wii Music

i think it's safe to say most of that list is either poop or for kids. spyro and spiderman are usually safe bets, monopoly is fun but why not just use the actual board? wii music might be interesting but i'm pretty sure i'd rather play rockband 2. as for the rest... YAY 3rd party 'games' .
