This is an equal opportunity thread.

I want people to write as if they were talking to someone at the beginning of December 2010 who doesn't own a console and has no brand loyalty to any console, but has recently become interested in gaming in general and motion control gaming in particular and wants to buy a console. They are asking you which console + motion controller system they should buy and why. Up to a point money is not a major deciding factor for this hypothetical noob, though obviously price is always part of a person's buying decisions.

I will copy and paste what I think are the most compelling arguments in favour of each console here in the OP. So, put on your salesperson's hat and sell that motion control system like you were Reggie / Jack / Aaron. You don't have to limit your pitch to motion control gaming of course, but listing a whole bunch of exclusive games to someone who doesn't know Master Chief from Solid Snake from Link isn't really a winning strategy.

You should buy a Wii because...

You should buy a 360+Kinect because...

You should by a PS3+Move because...
