The Wii would be better if there were more good games that allowed the use of a GameCube controller. At the moment, there are mostly games that take advantage of the wii-mote's sensing capabilities while not offering classic controller options. If I'm going to get a work out, I'd rather go outside and play basketball. Additionally, the wii-mote is uncomfortable when turned horizontally. Motion sensing controls are okay, but not my idea of a good time.

On the other hand, the XBox360 sticks to classic button pushing. This is familiar territory, and gives games more substance than you could get playing with a wii-mote. The 360 also has a nice user interface, with interesting extras like a Gamer Score and Achievements to keep you interested in a game when you would otherwise put it down. Yet with all these perks, the system still has one major downside, and that's the lack of a more diverse library.

Finally, there's Sony who always seems to have the most colorful selection of all the companies. However, the Playstation 3 appears to be nothing more than a graphically enhanced Playstation 2, and is much too expensive. For half the cost of a PS3, I can get an XBox360 Pro with a hard drive, and for even less, I can buy a Wii. Before the next-gen systems came along, Sony was winning the console wars, but now they're in last place. To make matters worse, Sony has announced that they've taken out the vibration function to try to copy Nintendo's motion censor capabilities.

In the end, each console has its pros and cons, though, personally I'm starting to prefer Microsoft.
