Well I'm a Nintendo Fan through and through. Today I own all three platforms but remain devoted to my favorite console (Wii). Now I suggest you buy a Wii and here are some of the reasons, these things Microsoft just doesn't offer!
- Non-Competition, thats right as a devoted Nintendo fan I have vowed never to pick up a competitors system. However when Nintendo said they were no longer competing with Sony/Microsoft, and Sony/Microsoft said they weren't competing with Nintendo I rushed to the store to pick up my 360.
- Games, sure the 360 has some great exclusives, but the Wii has far more. In the end the exclusives are largely first party titles and pitting Microsoft Game Studios against Nintendo is a no contest victory for Nintendo
- Price point, you already bought the most expensive system on the market should you really blow another 300$ on an almost identicle console that will probubly red ring on you within a few years of owning it?
- Buying a console so you can pay for services you get free at Nintendo and Sony. Why would you care to pay 60$ a year to play games online when you can do that for far cheaper on the Wii.
In the end its your decision. I find it odd you ask if you should get an X-Box on the Microsoft board. Of course everyone is going to say yes. You probubly should have asked it on the gaming board, to get a more rounded opinion. It's just my opinion but in order to truly enjoy this generation you have to own a Wii.
