If you'll have a lot of friends over to play multiplayer, you're going to find the Wii much better. Even taking turns in Wii sports (only have 1 controller) is alot of fun.

Otherwise though, the Wii's lineup seems rather bad. Zelda is amazing, but after that I'm not so sure I'm going to be happy with it.... in fact I'm thinking of selling my Wii. Far Cry looked like it would be good, then it completely flopped.... which makes me worried about future Wii games.

If you mostly like SP games, the 360 hands down as far as I'm concerned. Oblivion, GRAW, Gears, CoD2, etc...

If someone were to ask if they should get a Honda or a Ford, would you recommend them to get both because it's about the same price as a Benz?

There aren't a lot of games out for the Wii yet, so if you're on the fence you may want to wait. If you want it now and game selection is important, get the 360.

I think the Wii's controller is ideally suited for racing games, especially with the steering wheel attachment.

I'll be picking up both.

A 360 as soon as I can get a decent deal on one and a Wii when I can find one without loosing out on my beauty sleep.

Are you saying the Wii is a Honda and the 360 is a Ford and the PS3 is Benz????

Excite Truck is a cartoony racing game for the wii. thats the only wii racing game I can think of right now

wii has NFS: Carbon for "realistic" racing
it has another car racing game but it looks like that cell shaded crap and looks crappy. the same with the 4x4 racing too i think.
excite truck isn't that cartoony

i'm sure there will be plenty of other racing games too.

The 360 has NFS: Carbon too

And the Full 2007 Release List. In addition to this, Zelda 64, Mario 64, Mario RPG and others are confirmed for the Virtual Console in 2007.

:Q fire emblem and dragon quest! SWEET!

Resident Evil! Metroid!...

and of course..BRAWL!


I SUPER HOPE that Amazon does that "Buy 3 games @ full, get 1 free" thing again. It's a great way to buy brand spanking new games at an ok price (it's great for those who hate to wait, like me )
