Remember those crappy screenshots for Mario & Sonic at the Olympics?

I'm trying to decide between a PS3 and a Wii for later this year, and after that rather impressive video I was leaning towards the Wii.
After looking at actual images from the game, I'm back to sitting on the fence.

If you want to choose a console by looking at a bunch of screenshots - then the PS3/360 is definitely the one you want.

The Wii will never be able to compete. At the least check out movies of the game in action. Metroid 3 is the perfect example of this - the screenshots look crap, and the game looks sweet in motion.

This game is a most definite party/family game. If you want a console that is "social", that encourages family or friends to come over and play with you (esp. non-gamers) get a Wii. I can swear to its success in that area.

If you care more about gfx, presentation & "movie like" cinematics - get a PS3. That seems to be the direction that Sony is pushing in at the moment.

If I was going to recommend an answer to a friend, it would be:

 - get a Wii this Xmas
 - get a PS3 next Xmas  (the price saving could almost pay for that Wii from 12 months ago!)
