Topic: Why did you choose Wii over PS3/360?

I didn't. I had a 360 before I bought a Wii. To be honest, I only got the Wii because I bought it from a friend for $120. I've always loved Nintendo and many of their franchises, it's just that I never would have paid $250 for it (this was back before the price drop). The Xbox 360 might get more of my attention, but I've never regreted getting the Wii.

I got it for Brawl.

Because it costed less and so I could play my gamecube games again.
Oh yeag, it also had a lot cooler looking games in the game informer (mario galaxy, brawl) than others, and the motion control.

Other consoles lack Mario and Zelda games

That. The PS3 was still largely considered a joke. The 360 was something I wasn't much interested in.

The Wii had the prospects of VC, GC, FE:RD, and Brawl was coming in a few months.

Cheaper price and the Virtual Console is what sold me.

1) The 360/PS3 has way more genre's then the wii, even though they do lack that classic nintendo charm.
2)Isn't sterotyping a game system based on the parent company bad, i can say i won't buy a nintendo product because the virtual boy sucks, or that all germans are evil because of what the the nazi party did.

Price
VC (sigh.............)
Nintendo exclusives

I am sure I'll like quite a few of the games you listed, and I'll probably buy one or more of them. However, it'll all be gravy after I get the two I listed. If you haven't looked at my Backloggery ... I really don't NEED any new games until I work through a few of the ones I already have. I think I'm set until around 2013 at this point.

Cheaper. PS3 being upwards of 3x the price=wtf.
Smash

Wii is cheaper, and I liked more of its games.

Motion controls FTW

wiimote Zelda was a big reason.

First party

I like Nintendo better than Sony, and Super Mario Galaxy.

I haven't.

I've deferred from getting a PS3 until they came down in price, ironed out the OS problems and got a decent rage of games.
My trusty old PS2 has finally given up the ghost and has been used as much as the wii in the time I've had it.

part of it was price, but also I had the PS2 and had played the original XBox and to me their games never really compared to the Nintendo home consoles' games. Also, my brother in college already had a 360 and I didn't want to just get the same thing as he did, as I could just play his just by asking him.

1) Printing money
2) Having an excuse to flail around like an idiot
3) Mo' money
4) Pretending I'm old through the wonders of the VC...or something
5) I'd say money again, but that would be redundant

1. Smash Bros. Brawl
2. Virtual Consle
3. All the other first-party titles

Because graphics don't make a game like so many people in this day and age seem to think.

-it was cheaper.
-i was excited about the possibilities of motion control (which could have been better utilized by this point, but they're still great. after the metroid prime games, i'll never feel the same playing a tradtional FPS again.)
-i love Nintendo. great games, great quality, and they care more about their fans than the other two.
-i was excited about being able to play videogames with my dad for the first time since the super nintendo through the virtual console, and the new "casual" games.
-backwards compatibility with my 60+ game GC library (which would also allow me to sell my GC and get a game or two).
there was nothing at the time that interested me about the other 2. there are still just a handful of titles between the two of them (10 at the MOST) that i would really want.
