The Wii's new MotionPlus 1:1 tracking should have been implemented itno the Wiimote from the start, which is what most people though they were getting before they bought one. True, its graphics are inferior, but the price difference is worth it. True, many kid-friendly or minigame games are released for Wii, but there are the few more-hardcore titles.
The 360 is great, though Microsoft is starting to show their greedy side more now. The monthly subscription cost for Live is annoying and I'd probably never buy one because of that.
PS3 is amazing in all respects, but the price is way too high. 'Gamers' like us may not mind it as much, but the average person isn't going to shell out that much. It's library of games is interesting, but the $60 price tag is a bit much.
Kind of off-topic:
In all, games don't cost $50+ to produce. In fact, most stores purchase the games at around $20. It would seem that the game companies aren't making as much of a profit as game stores are. Honestly, I think the price tag for the games themselves is what makes so many people not want to buy them. I have a huge number of Dreamcast games, because they were only $30, and that is one of the primary reasons DC is praised.
