No way, for me anyways.
Either PS3 or 360 as 1 console only system.
Don't get me wrong I like the Wii and own one (As well as 360 and PS3) but it just doesn't have the games for me to have it as a sole console.
Again this if my opinion.

It could be because I'm in my "honeymoon phase" with the Wii (just bought it less than a week ago), but I would keep it over my 360 if I had to choose just one console.

For me, it's just a lot of fun and there seem to be enough games to keep me busy:

Mario Galaxy
Resident Evil
Metroid
MLB Power Pros
Rayman 2
Mario Kart
etc....

I don't have much extra time for gaming anymore, so I don't need 20 games in my library at once really. As well, with a lot of the 360 sports games, I end up spending hours just trying to tweak the game to play well. In the end, the only games I would truly miss are NBA2K8 and Pro Evolution, but not even the latter maybe because the Wii version is looking very cool.

Maybe ask me again in a few months...

Thanks guys and your opinions are just that, your opinions. I appreciate them

I am in the same situation, I don't have hours to tweak a game and my gaming time is at an all time low thanks to spending lots of time with my wife and my 3, 1 year old.

Teh Wii is looking like something my wife too would get into.

In all honesty, if it had a hockey game, I probably wouldn't even be considering switching my PS3 for it.

I wouldn't trade a PS3 or 360 for it. The great thing about the Wii is that it's more affordable unlike the other systems. I have a 360 and Wii. I like my Wii60 combo.

Wii is great if you have a family or friends that visit, regularly. As a single guy, I'll take the 360 over it all day long.

Exactly.

I had the Wii from last spring to August and I grew incredibly bored with it. It seemed like so many of the games were ports with a tacky control scheme added to them. Wii Sports was the best game I played on it. The new SMB and Super Smash Brothers are the only games I was really looking forward to it, but I decided to seel my Wii anyway since they were still going for over retail on eBay. The PS3 and 360 are less novel, but I find them far more enjoyable than the Wii.

I sold my Wii in August, got a PS3 and have no regrets. I got the Wii thinking it would get my wife involved, she liked the bowling but only played it 3 times over a few months.

If the titles for the Wii are really what you want then you’ll be happy with it. For me I really wanted a good sports library, Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy were a factor for me going with the PS3 as well.

I have a 2 year old daughter and she’s just as happy playing rub-a-dub and Motorstorm as she was with the Wii games
