I have had both a Wii and 60 gig PS3 since shortly after their launches, and while the Wii was a blast to play at first it's charm fades fast. The Wii is still pretty fun when you have a group of people around to play with, but once you and your friends are sick of 3-4 decent party games for the system you'll be left with an expensive NES/SNES/Genesis emulator that your wife will use more than you. Or at least that's how my time with a Wii has turned out. The PS3 on the other hand is fun to play with or without friends, but it's also suffering from a lack of really good games. But if you're like me and really only play games 5 - 10 hours a week those several games that are really good will probably hold you over until some of the bigger titles begin to come out for the system. And there's always all of the great PSOne/2 games you can play as well. Both systems are good, and both systems will be getting better, but they are targeted at completely different groups of people.
