@arsenicazure: By stating the obvious, that the non-gaming related online doesn't interest gamers, you actually are explaining where PS3 fails hard, since it can be extended outside online. By the way, why did you mention the in-game voice/text chat? It's not a gaming feature and therefore people aren't interested in it.
As for Wiis online, Wii has a different approach than the competition. When there's 360 online and 360 offline, PS3 online and PS3 offline, the same split doesn't work with Wii, there's no Wii online or Wii offline, there's only Wii. As someone stated, it's seamless experience. And don't forget WiiConnect24.
As for the HDTV:s, was that the number of them in the kids rooms? That's where the majority of the consoles have traditionally ended. And the same goes for audio systems.
PS3 has a number of extra functionalities, but they're something that increases the cost of the console, Wiis functionalities are what could be added without additional cost and Wiis functionalities have a more "purposeful" perception.

OK.. now what extra functionalities are we talking of.. the ps3 is easily the console with the most extra "value" quotient. What are these added functionalities on the wii and the added costs?
last i check the classic gamepad,wii motion plus, wii fit(balance board) all cost money right oh yea and a wii broadband adapter too oh and a component cable too
thats easily over $300 in " added extra functionalities that cost" kinda bringing it in line/ and over the cost of a ps3

I'm going to ignore the fact that you don't need a classic gamepad, you can't buy WMP yet, Wii Fit is an entirely separate game which no one is required to buy, and that you're blowing it all out of proportion just to say this:
The Wii has wireless right out of the box, just like the PS3. It can't go wired.
And it doesn't need a component cable unless you have an HDTV, in which case you can afford a component cable.
