Sad Nintendo Wii Owner :( Should I trade it in ? Help me make up my mind...

Hey guys, this is my first time posting here. I need your help.  

My parents bought me my Wii for Christmas last year.  I've always loved Nintendo alot.  All the systems I've had (except for my PS2) were Nintendo ones.   But, the Wii is the first one I don't like.  I bought Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Brothers.  But I just didn't like any of them.  Over time, I played my Wii less and less and I'm starting to get upset.

I know this sounds bad, but it feels like Nintendo is selling me the same game for the second time.  Mario Kart Wii, and Smash Brothers I wanted to like, but I can't help but feel cheated on it.  I am sick of Wii Sports, and I hated Wii Fit (yucky), and I am not going to buy Animal Crossing (I have it on the DS).  

So, I am thinking of trading my Wii in and buying a Playstation 3.  I don't own an HDTV, but one of my favorite games on the Gamecube was Twin Snakes, and Snake is so much fun to play in Smash.  I played Uncharted at my Best Friends house and it was soooooooooooooo pretty.  I thought graphics didn't matter till I saw it in real life.  I also tried the Ratchet and Clank Demo out and it looked out of this world :) :). 

I also read that thread about Little Big Planet and how some guy said it was like Super Mario World, and now I think I really want a PS3 :(, is there something wrong with me?

So should I trade in my Wii and get a PS3?  I'm probably going to ask my dad to put it on ebay and buy a 80gb PS3 and put it next to my PS2. I still love Nintendo, and I really can't wait for the Mother 3 translation, but I just feel lost.

I'm extremely late to this thread and haven't read more than the first 10 posts but will add my two pence to the topic.

If you haven't enjoyed the games you mentioned then my suggestion is that you sell your Wii ASAP.  Actually don't sell it now, wait for the Christmas shortages and sell it then for a tidy sum.  We have seen the best games from Nintendo we are going to see this gen (or at least the next 3 years or so) and the only additions I can think of will be Pikmin 3, F Zero and a new Zelda game.  3rd parties are dragging their feet with the Wii so if you don't like the games out from Nintendo (which are not going to be surpassed other than by 3 possible games) then you are better off going for a PS3 as PS360 seems to be where 3rd parties are interested in releasing their big games.

Having said that I find it hard to believe (in fact so hard as to completely doubt your post is even remotely legit) that you could love Nintendo and not like any of Galaxy, Brawl, Mario Kart or Twiglight Princess.  Galaxy is lightyears ahead of Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart Wii is about 10 lightyears ahead of Double Dash.  Twilight Princess is very much equal with Windwaker and you can't sugest it's like more of the same game (otherwise you might as well say Ocarina, Wind Waker, Twighlight Princess are all the same game.  Brawl is quite similar to Melee but how different could a fighting game be from its predecessor and why change a winning formula?  And the online experience makes it sufficiently different from Melee.
