  As many of yu probably knoe I am a Wii fan, and so far a Wii owner exclusively.  I am also a dedicated Nintendo fanboy (perhaps not as much as others), especially since SEGA left the Hardware market.  Depending on finances I may have some significant money to put towards games.  I have already tucked away for Wii FiT (I am also going to try to claim it as a tax deduction for health issues) and as soon as I can acutally find it I'll buy it.  I am trying to get some savings together for Guitar Hero IV:World Tour Wii.  As the year winds down I see a big decision ahead of me game wise.  Wii or XBOX 360.

  Lately I have become pretty impressed with what I've seen from released and upcoming XBOX 360 titles.  Bioshock, Mass Effect, Fable II, and the Project Gotham Series (I loved MSR on Dreamcast) all look like incredible exclusives for me.  Also since I do have an HDTV, an HD system would make sense to have. 

  Looking at the line-up of games coming out in the next year for the Wii pretty much looks pathetic to me.  I am pumped about Star Wars and the Wiimote lightsaber bit is enough for me to want it for Wii.  The Conduit seems awesome and I want a real shooter for the Wii.  but beyond that Dokepon Kingdom (and of course GH:IV) is the only other thing I see.

 

What do you all think about the upcoming Line-up for X360 in comparisson.

 

I'll also note that whereas I love my Wii and Nintendo I am kinda disapointed with the thing now that the initial wowness is over.  Legend of Zelda is sweet (though coulda been enjoyed on GC about as well) and Guitar Hero III is my fav (though Multi-platform).  but everything else has just kind of paled away with the exception of Wii Sports and Pro Evolution Soccer (also MP, but like Star Wars I like the interface better). 

So place your votes here for what you think (I will do my own thing anyway but... for fun) should I buy Wii games/save money and/or wait for further titles.  Or hold out for an XBOX360 and buy games for that.

note: My wife (sorta out of nowhere) has been idly talking about wanting an XBOX360 for her birthday in Sept.  and I was considering it for mine in March.  Or a family present for the 3 of us for Christmas (Baby will be born then :^))  The main purchasing decision is pricing, with the recent drops lately and the initial elevated price (compared to Wii) I want to buy when the time is right or get a good bundle or something.

Great system RROD is not an issue any more, has a huge line up of great games some very cheap now.  Nice second system.  I own one and buying a WII...

 



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game
