Purchase: Wii or Xbox360....

I think it's either the ps3 or a 360 plus a wii this time around. The wii is something you need as well as one of the other 2

I can see a wii in my future (and it's not just because for the trappist beer I have here), as I can sell it on a "good for the kids" level. Looking at 360, I see a load of very expensive, effectively X-rated games that appeal to me (yeah, I know, that's not all of it, but hey), and looking at wii I see cow racing. I mean. Cow racing. How fucking cool is that?

Not as cool as cow milking.

..but I'm thinking that that the lineup of games isn't looking too hot and I'm not a massive Zelda Fan to be honest..

360 - Nice, proven online/gaming model, nice HD tech, growing if somewhat predictable software library, Dead Rising, Neon, Llamasoft!!

If you really know about the coming games, which you imply, and don't think they're that hot, and if you're not a Zelda fan, the answer should be easy, get a 360. Simple as that.

Wii is good for people who want something totally new in their games and in their game experience, and naturally, Wii is also good for people who like Nintendo's own games. And, I too want to stress, that Wii is not a party / minigame platform only. In many senses, it can offer even deeper gameplay than what we've had before, which is exactly one of the main selling points of Wii for me.

Personally I will get a Wii at launch day. If I had spare money, I would buy a 360 today, I don't, so it can wait a while.
