What is the most craved console right now?

I love the X-BOX 360, but it seems the Nintendo Wii (A.K.A Nintendo Revolution) and the PS3....................................
(not really sure) is coming. What DO YOU WANT THE MOST OF THESE 3.

Nintendo Wii!!!

Its going to revolutionize everything!

The 360 and PS3 are basically another XBox and PS2, the only difference are the prettier graphics...
The Wii on the other hand just doesnt have better graphics than the Cube, it has completely different gameplay that will make games a lot more interactive and entertaining!!!

I have a 360, I really like it. The PS3 is going to be too much. Ill probally buy a Wii as well because of the price point. I vote 360 though.

Too much is an understatement!

The PS3 will be $500 for the stripped version, and $600 for the full version!

On the other hand, the Wii will be priced around $200, most likely less. They are trying to sell this system to everyone, not just the hardcore gamers

Agreed! Those prices are MAD crazy.
I mean, I love my ps2 and i'm sure the ps3 will be sweet, but no way in heck will I EVER pay that much for ANY game console, period! And $50 for most new games?? I don't think so. I wait a few months and buy it used somewhere for under 20.
The more I see/read about the wii the more I like it. But i'll admit, the price is what got me interested because i've never been much of a nintendo fan other than the original NES, that's a classic!
Kudos to Nintendo for the low price tag

It may seem weird at first... but if you really think about it, it's kinda what gaming has to do.
Really, how much more can graphics carry consoles before everyone notices they are playing the same games, just with better graphics.

From what I have read, the new Wii gameplay is very easy to learn, and becomes second nature. Imaging moving your arm to throw a football; to cast a line while fishing; to swing your sword; to hit a tennis ball!!!
The Wii-mote is also perfect as a gun! Wherever you point, the gun on the tv follows, and there is a "trigger" button at the bottom of the cotroller... you move yourself with a small second controller held in your left.

And for those games where the Wii-mote isnt needed, you can just turn the controller 90 degrees, and it becomes a conventional controller. You can also buy a special controller for just those games

Ok thats cool, but I have like a few issues there .
A) I dont want to be buying extra controlers.
B) When you say "yo I got a nintendo wii!" everyone will be like "WTF is a wee."
C) Who in their right mind plays a fishing game.

Meh.. personally, I love the name. I was like "wth is Nintendo thinking?" at first... but it caught on lol.. it caught on like "iPod" or "eBay".. it's catchy

And the reasoning behind the name is pretty cool imo lol. they named it wii because its supposed to represent "everyone, all of us, WE" because they are marketing this console to everyone, and because of the wireless internet connection "Wii" will be connected to eachother. Also, the two "ii"'s look like two Wii-motes

1. These are the only controllers you need (most likely, the
'nunchuck' controller will come with the system also)


That other controller I am talking about is optional, if you want it. The controller showed can be used for any game the Wii will offer.

2. Who cares what others think! They'll get hooked on it as if it was french toast!

3. I do It's a small part of the new Zelda game
