There were so many competing experiences in the seventh generation that it made sense to have a 360, Wii and PS3. But Wii and one of those other two in particular was an awesome combo. You could get the majority of third-party games that gen whether you had a PS3 or 360 and you could play Nintendo games and any third-party games that interested you on Wii.

I think I remember from back then that there was a time when a Wii and an Xbox 360 together cost less than a PS3. 

Yeah that's part of why I went Wii + 360 initially; PS3 was just too expensive and nearly all the games I wanted to play were on 360 and looked/ran better there.

Did eventually end up getting a PS3 later down the line once it dropped in price to check out the likes of Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, etc.
