Just wondering who here's got the Nintendo Wii.

Getting one soon.

hmmm, I don't have a wii, and I don't plan on getting one, it may be fun for like family games, but for personal gaming a ps3 or xbox360 would be so much better.

No Wii for me... PC 4 life

nope, dont have a wii, my last console was a play station

and if you usually game alone, then the wii is not that suitable

I have all three current consoles...

Like I said, there are pretty limited 'quality' games and for a crowd based games, only like mario party and raving rabids are somewhat interesting (but its fun when there's like party at your place - 2 players gets pretty dull fast).

Sports games are fun though (I love playing tennis and whooping my family at it).

I think I'm eying on PS3! BD here I come!

But I want GT5...

Hmm... Is it really worth going console?

Except for the controller, I still feel the PC is the best way to play games.

PS3 is the best IMHO.

GT5 will come around soon. I think it got delayed to support force feedback and rumble (since Sony is readding that).

GT5 ftw!

There are some great games that are console exclusive (like GT5, Metal Gear Solid series, etc). That is the only reason why I bought consoles.

And consoles like the PS3 also serve as a media center (as well as a BD player - the best on the market)

Looking at how PC games are now at the moment, I think I will move to console sooner or later. FPS and RTS, and maybe MMORPG (more available on consoles too). Racing games, flight sim, adventure are almost gone.

if i were force to choose one among the console, it would definately be the PS3, games like resident evil and final fantasy were my favourite
