If you just want to play games, go buy a Wii.
Sony and Microsoft are both focusing on making the ultimate entertainment system to take over you living room, while Nintendo are just producing a simple console and games for it.
My wife just bought us a Wii. It's awesome.

My girl has been looking for one as her anniversary present to me. We just can't find any around here.

She found a store that had 2 in stock, so she drove over and bought one of them. As she was getting into her car, she saw another guy walk out of the store with the other one. They're going very fast.

It just won't work for us, cause I work in a call center. So I can't just get up and leave like that.
Well not for something like that.

I haven't had any desire to play any consoles since the original PS came out. All I saw was better graphics and more buttons on the controllers. The Wii was really an innovative change to how you interact with the game. A number of minor things nintendo did with the wii make it a much greater system than any of the other offerings.
Note: got mine off ebay, didn't cost me too much extra and got it in time for the wife for christmas.

Originally posted by Ramiri15I like the tennis game that came with it. I heard there's another multi-sports game coming out that's supposed to be pretty good. Last night I was up till midnight playing Splinter Cell--also very good.

ooh
here's an idea...
wait three more years...
JUST three years, and both companies, Sony and Microsoft, will have come out with something newer that will blow both of the ones in question out of the water...
that's my advice, its too late now, might as well wait...
its all a waste of money anyway
