If You're a Core Gamer That Hasn't Purchased a Wii yet

I dunno, maybe it's because I'm a little biased, but to me I can't fathom how a financially smart gamer could want to own multiple consoles and NOT have a Wii as one of them, which is far different from the other two, and cheaper. Yet people seem to have no problem buying both HD consoles, with near identical libraries, and similar features.

Wii's library is vastly different, so I would think it'd be most financially sound to own one HD console AND the Wii, since you cover the most bases with this combo, while saving the most money. Either that, OR obviously owning all 3 consoles if you can afford it.. But someone opting for the PS360 combo while passing on the Wii has always been baffling to me, since they are so similar and cost the most money, while you're missing out on the most exclusives.

PS3 and 360 have a ton of great games, don't get me wrong, but the vast majority of them are cross platform. I can count the number of each of these console's exclusives worth buying a console for with my one hand.

The PS3 and 360 may share a similar library but I can think of at least 15 Xbox 360 exclusives (im a PS3 owner) that would be worth buying if I bought a Xbox360, I can't say the same for the wii because its game library doesn't appeal to my gaming tastes for the most part. So if I was to buy another console, which I won't because I don't have the time to play all the games I buy for my PS3, I would buy a 360 over the wii because it suits my gaming preferences better than the wii would.
