different strokes for difference folks. I get alot more game time out of my PS3 than i do my Wii, my Wii gets turned on like maybe twice a week. i just find the PS3 library more compelling and varied and the online is a hell of a lot better. Even if i had to look at the backlog for Wii, there are very few games that I have not bought. WarioLand, NMH2 and thats about it. So much crap on PS3 i want past and present.

I'm kind of the opposite.  On average I use my Wii maybe 15x more than my PS3, which occasionally sits unused for the best part of a month.  Obviously, which console I play more of and how much more depends on the games I'm playing.  The only time I used my PS3 considerably more than my Wii was during Winter 2008/Early 2009, when LBP took over my life and the only new Wii releases that interested my were World of Goo and Super Mario RPG;  I almost literally only used my Wii for the bi-monthly MKWii competitions.  But then again, the time I spent on either my Wii or PS3 is dwarfed by my playtime on my DS/probably in the future 3DS.

I guess as you say different strokes for different folkes.

This reflects my game time exactly, there literally are zero games on PS3 that lasted me half the time Monster Hunter Tri or Brawl, but even those games are dwarfed by the amount I used to play Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime Hunters, the countless RPGs, and Zelda.
