Almost bought a Wii today.

I have about 600 dollars the Futureshop gift card that I got as a bonus for my time on the rigs last Christmas. I was thinking I could almost buy a PS3 with it but have decided to wait. It's not that I don't want a PS3. I do but the only game that interests me right now is Warhawk. Mind you I have a 360 as well so that satisfies my craving for a strong library of games. Personally I think the 360 and Wii are the systems to get right now. I will probably pick up a PS3 between mid 2008 to the end of the year. But Halo 3, Mass Effect, Galaxy, Metroid, and Mario Kart are the upcoming games I most want to play.

I'm with Astrodust on this one.  I think the trend that we see right now is people owning a wii and a 360 (or perhaps a PS3).  I think this is part of Wii's success in that it is really not competing with 360 or PS3; but the 360 and PS3 are competing with one another.  Not trying to downplay wii, I own one and think that it is incredible, and it will be around for a while.

Couple of days ago I saw a guy walking out of the gamestore with Bioshock in one hand and MP3 in the other.  He probably has not bathed, eaten, slept, or brushed his teeth since then.
