Wii because of the games, but then again i've never owned a non-Nintendo console for a long laundry list of reasons

I'm curious what these reasons are. 

A lack of time precludes me from buying the other systems, that i generally only play for an hour a day, so i buy roughly a game a month (usually anywhere from 9 to 13 retail games a year), so Nintendo consoles alone are sufficient for me despite the cyclical droughts.

Preference for their games is mostly due to my love of games that have charm, replay value, and colorful. I don't like games that take themselves too seriously, hate the movement towards movie-dom, dislike anything that involves zombies or post-apocalyptic scenarios, am indifferent towards competitive online play (though i love cooperative online, one need Nintendo does not fill, though i have found such games on Nintendo consoles before in Phantasy Star Online and Monster Hunter Tri), and platformers are my favorite genre (a genre that barely exists on non-Nintendo platforms)

Basically i have no interest in the kinds of genres that usually skip Nintendo consoles (WRPGs, Racing Sims, traditional fighting games), have a strong preference for the types of games that do predominate, and no time to really invest in any other consoles.

Those are all actually really well thought out, rational, and personal reasons.  Arguably one of the best posts in this thread.  Thanks for your time!
