Thats exactly what I do. When I'm done with my Wii, I put it away, and I hook up my PS3. My PS3 is a multimedia device, so I can surf the web, play games, watch movies and download plenty of content. The same goes for my 360. Thats why my PS3 (or 360) is always connected to my TV and internet.

And if this thread is any indication...You and I are not alone.  Nintendo fanboys might get upset at that notion,  but I don't think it's entirely that unrealistic.

 

Some people will never understand. The Wii and the lack of an ethernet port limits the functionality. Not to mention it has no video library, or DVD playback.

People can rag on Sony for this all they want, but I doubt they are speaking completely out of their ass.  I'm sure they've done research/surveys to see how the typical gamer plays.

If I were asked the question?  I only touch the Wii occassionally to play Smash.  I've debated on selling it because it just doesn't get played unless I'm looking for something 'different'.   I know a lot of people in the same boat with it.  It essentially gets put away in the closet more often than not. The PS3/360 gets a lot more usage.  If it's not for games, it's for movies.  If neither,  I can browse the web,  watch videos, etc.
