I always buy Nintendo's consoles usually because they make the best quality hardware and software. But if I had to pick between those options I must say the motion controls are what drove me to purchase my Wii. But lets be honest I am an early adopter every generation so software is not the driving force behind my purchases.

In the late 80's and during the whole 90's I was an avid gamer. Then, at year 2000 I went to live to Holland for a year, after that University and there, no more gaming experiences in my life for a while. But then I had the time and saw Nintendo, that company that provided me with some of my more treasured memories were launching something completely new... Motion controls!
The funny thing is that the game that decided me to buy a Wii no matter how was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Because as a PC gamer, it promised to offer me a completely different and new experience.
Plus, though not having any particular strong feeling for Nintendo in general, I had loved SM64 and Zelda:OOT.

I use PC for strategy games and FPS.

I use the Wii for all the rest.

I use the 360 for the good games that for some ill though marketing strategy did not get developped on the Wii.

Mostly because I wanted a console version of the Nintendo DS.

One word...Mario Kart Wii. Lol

That is not one word at all.

I know, that's why I put lol afterwards. I was just having fun with it :).

When I saw Mario I was thinking you would have just put that as the one word

Too true...but I love me some Mario Kart :)

I bought my Wii on launch day to play the new Zelda game with motion controls. It was great.
