Lots of opinions flying around a "hot deals" thread. figured I'd toss my 2 pennies in.
Concerning the "Next Gen War", all systems have their own respective drawing points. I own a Wii currently, had it since launch day, I play it almost daily with my son and wife. It is "family" oriented, but when wanting to play a "real" game, the wii for sure won't cut it.
360, I will soon be upgrading from my regular xbox to a 360 and picking up the hddvd drive. Do I believe it is the best system on the market? No, however it is the most well rounded and does what for multiplayer what most system/pc things can only hope to achieve.
PS3, it isn't the end all system as sony totes, but one day it will be something great. However that day is not now, nor will it be anytime in the near future. Almost no exclusive's, the few that they have/will have aren't be all end all apps, It is banking on a expensive/questionable format(note Sony gloating how much space is used on it's blu-ray when the simple fact is that designer's are just not compressing files), and lastly things don't seem "that" much better than current 360 counterparts.
PC-viruses, spyware, the fact I have to sit at a chair and not on my couch(well i could change that, but still), "future proof" does not exsist, there is many reasons i buy console games at a rate of 5-1, sadly none of those things listed above are those reasons.
Big money caters to "gen pop", computer gamers are no longer "gen pop".
Notes-I will eventually own all 3 "next gen" systems, currently though the 360 warrants purchase in the near future.
