Well if you've never owned a console before, I'd recommend the Wii since it has cheap oldschool games from 9 different consoles you missed out on, as well as old arcade games, and new Wii-only motion controlled games. And those are just the cheap downloadable games. And when comparing libraries of new games, the Wii will be the exact opposite of a PC, whereas a 360 or PS3 will only be a little different from a PC.

Cause the PC doesn't have motion controls while it has far better games thn the PS, which ar directly comparable most of the time.

Actually, on second thought OP, a ps2 would probably be a fantastic choice. Only $100 new and you have access to the immense ps1/ps2 game libraries. Beats the pants off any current gen console for exclusives and range of high quality titles.

depends on games you like and how much of a graphics whore you are

I'm a PC/PS3/Wii owner. its a pretty good mix, besides halo the big titles on 360 get a PC release, and in some cases (Mass Effect) the PC version is superior in more then just the graphical department. Ps3 gets some interesting titles (import jrpgs are starting to float around, GT5, Lbp) and wii has mario kart and smash bros so thats always a win there.

I'd probably go with a ps3. I couldn't imagine gaming this gen without a ps3. PC gaming seems very over-rated to me - alot of the 360/ps3 games get a delayed release on pc, and then many game themselves are often far better suited to consoles. PC still has its shooters though, that about it lol

Being a 55% pc and 45% console. I would suggest the Wii followed by the PS3. No matter how you look at it not having any console will be some games you won't end up playing. But buy getting a Wii you get an entirly different library than what the PC offers. 360 is the worst since it's list is closest to being that of a PC. While PS3 is some what in the middle. It has a few good platformers, but it's largest set of games seem to be third or first person games. Which you will find in spades on the PC.

The Wii is the most stand out from PC game console

I have PC, PS3 and Wii and feel that works nicely. You will miss some very good exclusives on 360 (well, they do seem to come to PC eventually but MS are making signs their going to keep more on the console) - but PS3 has more exclusives that will never hit a PC as does Wii IMHO so if you are going to game on a PC, and play titles like Fallout 3 and Mirrors Edge on that, then I'd go for that combo.

I'm assuming from your post that you don't see having both PS3/360 as a viable choice - otherwise you could have all four!

wow seriously thanks for all the replies..i didn't expect 4 pages for me the new guy :D..

But now i'm quite stuck between ps3 and wii TBH lol...

Both are good choices.  Just pick the one with the games you would rather play.
