I don't want to bash other peoples recommendations, but I would like to say that the Wii is a bad choice when in comparison to the DS. The Wii still needs to build up it's library for one thing. The DS crushes it in that area.

I strongly disagree. I would go so far as to say that the two systems offer dramatically different experiences, making direct comparisons moot.

 

I find the two platforms very similar. They both have the same marketing goal, as well as a similar library when you compare the years they have been released on the market. The thing that I think that makes them different is how their similar goal is implemented as well as how strong their competition is. I think I should rephrase what I meant to say in the quoted post. I meant that the DS has a much larger library of quality games right now than the Wii does. It also has more diversity than the Wii. Even if they did have vastly different libraries(which I would say otherwise), the DS still outnumbers it when you think of value and how many choices you have to choose from on the system. If I were to only have one console out of the two for say a year I would choose the DS over the Wii because of the Droughts the Wii brings and me not having to worry about running out of quality games.  Having said that, I would admit that my favorite games this generation have been on the Wii. They are just too spaced out compared to the DS for me to say that the Wii is a better console. Now this may and probably will change as time goes by and the Wii's becomes more and more like the DS in terms of how much support it gets.
