In previous generations, a gamer could pretty much get by owning just one cosole. And it made the console wars and fanboyish debates lots of fun. This time, it just wouldn't be right not to own a Wii alongside your Xbox360 or PS3.

The Wii is so different in design, style, and theory that it's almost a necessary companion to an HD system. The Xbox360 and PS3 do not really allow breathing room for developers to experiment. Too costly to take a risk. The Wii, on the other hand, offers tons of room for developers to go willy-nilly in experimenting with genres, styles, and unusual styles. Look at Let's Tap, World of Goo, Deadly Creaturs, de Blob, etc. Plus, it's making on-rails arcade shooters relevant again. It offers a smoother FPS interface (if it'd just get used more), and allows for easy point-n-clicking to make classic PC-style Adventure games relevant again.
