If i was new to this generation of consoles with no experience with the previous generation i would take the PS3 without giving it much thought. however since i've stuck with nintendo since SNES and so far they havent disappointed me, unless they decied next generation they will go completly casual, which i doubt.
Anyway seeing as i came into this generation with a GC, and if i would be "stuck" with the GC up to this point i would consider the Wii because of 1. i'm familiar with nintendo and 2. BC.
Even though Wii games get higher priority when i decide what to play. Its nice to sometime pickup some of the GC games.
It would be quite fun to try something different, i told myself i was gonna by a xbox last generation but i ended up with a GC because i just couldnt let go of the Mario and Zelda games, mostly (if not entirely) due to nostalgia. Same with this generation i was planning on buying a PS3 (since i have a ps2 since 3-4 years back...well that idea seems to have gone down the drain since sony announced no more BC on PS3s) but now i'm here with the Wii for the same reasons as i chose the GC.
I suspect i will always buy a nintendo console unless for the reason i stated previously or if in a couple of years tire of games completly (lets not hope so...)
sorry for the slightly outdrawn post...
