Wii

A friend of mine recently purchased the Nintendo Wii and I played it last night. It was defintely an interesting experience. The new controller/remote is unlike any other game system's controller and I think it will attract many buyers. It was definitely fun playing with the new controllers, but I wonder if the novelty of it will eventually get old.

I still do not know anyone who's purchased a PS3, since all the stores are out of stock and they are too expensive on ebay. Sony should have stocked more for the launch since I think people will buy the Wii over the PS3 due to its availability (and lower price).

Regardless, I think all 3 consoles (360,Wii,PS3) will all do decently well. The xbox360 has been on the market the longest and already has a firmly established base. The Wii has the uniqueness of the new controllers and a lower price point than the other consoles. The Wii is also geared toward a broader market, which will attract consumers who otherwise wouldn't have purchased a gaming console. The PS3 has the most computing power and will eventually have the best graphics, which serious gamers demand. The PS3 can also play BluRay movies (resulting in much higher console price) which is a nice plus.
