To be honest if I were you I would just skip this generation altogether. It doesn't sound like you have tons of finances considering you put off buying a Wii and 360 till now and earlier you were an early adopter. Just keep playing your roomates 360 till 2011 when Nintendo , Sony and Microsoft are expected to launch their next systems.
Yes it is nearly two years but if your financially thin it might be smarter to save and buy the next line of consoles day one. Microsoft already started hiring developers to do work on developing launch titles for Microsoft next X-Box. Meaning either fall 2010 or during 2011 we will see a new Microsoft system. Nintendo is due to release a new platform in 2011 too and so is Sony.
If you need a console and plan on buying a Wii, stick with the Wii. If your roomate has a 360 you can play why bother buying one. If you absolutly want a console and have limited income go with a Wii and save the rest of that money for the NextBox, Wii2 or PS4. If your made of money and just stingy and want to get the most for your money, wtf...dude buy a freaking system already.
If you have no financial problems go out and buy that 360 now. Why wait for Natal, go buy a Wii and 360 tomorow. If you have financial problems just skip this generation. Absolutly need a console of your own, go buy a Wii.
