[Retroman]

Don't get me wrong, im a nintendo fan myself...
Ive got a SNES and all versions of the gameboy etc.

Wii just doesn't appeal to me that's all, as I like to sit down and play long RPG games or compete online etc. And im sure if you look at gamefaqs.com you'll notice almost all Wii games are kid like.

If you're just looking for a bit of fun and your kids can also benefit from it, then im sure Wii would be a better overall choice. Although Red Moon might prefer competing/playing the Xbox360 that's all lol.

I would say forget both and buy the PS3 if it had more games >_< but it'd be a waste of money really. If you hunt around a little, you could probably buy both cheaply for the price of just one.
