Is it anywhere near as powerful as a PS3? No
Is it as powerful as a tricked up PC? No

Is it the only console you can shove in the middle of a house party and have people actually engage with each other over and have a laugh rather than taking it seriously? You betcha.

They're a bit of fun, but only a novelty IMO. PS3 in the Jan sales for me I think


Biggest annoyance- going to a party with the owner of the wii:

'go on have a go'
'no'
'go on its fun'
'I've done it before'
'but it's funny'
'the first time'
'go on!'
'I'm going for a wee'

Why be so childish as to hate something that's good fun?

PC gaming - been there, done that, spent a fortune constantly upgrading graphics cards, processors, motherboards etc. Can't be arsed with that anymore. I've switched to Mac and really don't want a Windows PC now.

360 - Too ugly for my living room, unreliable and doesn't have built-in wireless networking.

PS3 - Twice the price of a Wii. Might get one in a year or two if they bring out a cheaper 'slim' model like the PS2.

Wii - I love the controller, graphics aren't bad (better than last generation, though not as good as 360/PS3), cheap and reliable. But the really important thing is that the games are great fun to play. That's why I bought it and it delivers fun in spades.

They've already released a budget PS3; the 40Gb model. I wouldn't hold your breath for a slimline model! They aren't actually that big already.

nintendo never release the most powerful consoles, but for me they always have the most entertaining games, especially multiplayers

these days i mostly play on the PC, but the N64 is still hooked up to the TV for when you've got a couple of mates over
