We'll start off with this video:

Wii Price

Wii Review

Wii Game List

PS3 Prices

PS3 Review

PS3 Game List couldn't find a sony link :/

[EDIT]
*Forgot the Criteria: Gameplay.

PS3 wins hands down. Anyone who argues otherwise is a fanboy and cannot be reasoned with.

STOP WITH THESE TOPICS. What's best, depends on the type of gamer. PS3 is for the more hardcore crowd. While Wii is for casual gamers. Simple as that. Please, make these topics a bannable offense. :(

Sadly, Dom is right. However, it's not like the Fanboys arn't having fun, so in the end everybody wins...

Basically it's just comes down to personal tastes.

I'd get two Wiis instead of a PS3!

Wii wins instantly even though a PS3 is better because it has MGS4.(Truly one of the best games ever made.)

You sound like a fanboy ^_^

I'd go for the Wii, but that's ofcourse my personal taste. I just like the Wii-mote stuff (and mario games <3 ) over the ps3 uber graphics and shooters (I got a 360 for that).

But I also gotta agree with MrJoey that it's personal taste and that these topics are kinda useless...

Yep, these topics are just redundant and stupid now.

at the end of the day its what your own taste is of gaming.

Nobody purchases a console solely on gameplay. Remember the Dreamcast?

Anyway. I enjoy my original Xbox (although I hardly ever play it anymore, may donate it to charity) and my wife and I can agree that the Wii is a much more family-oriented gaming rig. Comparing it to a PS3 is silly. They're not even on the same level of graphics.

I really dislike that I can't display great HD graphics from the Wii, but that's not why I have it - I have a computer for that, and gaming is not my life (sadly!)

At the end of the day, it's preference. I'd buy a PS2 over a PS3, as long as it's that special DVD drive I remember :)

Spend 200 USD for Brawl, Zelda, Mario, and a new way to play games on consoles or spend about 400 or 500 USD for better graphics, blu-ray, MGS4, and, and...a new Final Fantasy?

I would probably have more fun with a PS3 than I do with my Wii, but because I can get pretty much the same experience on the PS3 for cheaper(Xbox360), I'll go with the Wii.

On a side note, for the price of a PS3 I can go Wii60 and enjoy all of Nintendo's games, innovative controls, good graphics, great online, and just about every game the PS3 gets and more.

Minus the fact that I don't own a PS3 or Wii - and before this generation I didn't fanboy any console and owned all of them.

But I take back what I said, and I wish to restate: PS3 hands down, anyone who argues otherwise is a fanboy and cannot be reasoned with; or, bought a wii and is trying to justify their purchase even though they know deep down inside that they regret not buying an xbox 360 or ps3.
