There's a perfect example of YMMV.
You're probably a Zelda fan, and don't like shooters like Gears of War or Rainbow Six or RPGs like Oblivion. That's fine, as long as you realize "worth playing" is very subjective.
Also, wii versions of multi-platform games are just not going to look as good as PS3 or Xbox360. Aside from being 480p instead of 720p, the wii just doesn't have the power of the other 2. Which is fine if you don't care, but again YMMV.
Edit: Bruce Lee, Coke, nVidia.
Here's a little about me
I am a Zelda fan, but the ONLY Zelda I've owned and played all the way through was Link to the Past. So I'm no more of a fan than the average person who has owned
one Zelda game. I watched my friend play some of the Zelda game that was on the N64, and I've seen a preview for the Gamecube Zelda. Oh, and I played about 3 hours of the Gameboy Zelda, borrowing it from a friend for a little bit.
I love Half-Life 2 and currently own Resistance: Fall of Man. I dislike Counterstrike, but I put hundreds of hours into Jedi Knight and Jedi Knight II and its expansion. Gears of War looks awesome, but 1 game does not make me want to buy a $300 system. I consider Halo to be a cheap ripoff of Unreal Tournament with a much better storyline, which I can respect, but no one plays multiplayer Halo because of the storyline.
I own Oblivion and love RPGs. I own every Final Fantasy ever made for a console except FF1, 2, 3, and 11 (didn't like the MMO aspect). Luckily for me, I used an escape clause, that the Wii has more good
exclusive games. In other words, Oblivion for computer >> Oblivion for Xbox 360.
Why do I want the Wii? Lots of reasons. In particular,
1) Zelda (it will be the 2nd zelda I've ever owned and the 4th or 5th that I've ever played)
2) Huge selection of OLDER games, so now I can play great hits like Eternal Darkness, the Metroid series, etc. since I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the SNES
3) Red Steel looks awesome despite mixed reviews
4) Super Smash Bros is one of my favorite Nintendo games, and I look forward to playing the latest one
5) Did I mention the game library? This is an instant win for someone like me who hasn't owned a nintendo console in over a decade
As for graphics, I have seen a real Playstation 3 in action and a real Xbox 360 in action. From what little I have seen, the Playstation 3 is the clear winner. They were on identical TVs on a show floor in Best Buy. The Playstation 3 looked like it was prerendered real-life video, but sure enough, it was actually a playable game that just looked amazing.
Why did I prefer the PS3 over the Xbox 360? Again, gaming library. I'm not here for amazing graphics, I'm here for amazing
GAMES. If I want graphics I'll buy a high definition movie. The PS3 has Resistance Fall of Man and will have Metal Gear Solid 4, FF13 (in 3 different games), and other appealing titles (some of the preview videos look awesome). Xbox 360 has Gears of War, which I'd love to play, but there just aren't enough great
exclusive games there.
Frankly, PC gaming beats them all. I can't really compare PC gaming to the Wii since it's using some new tricks, but I'm sure the PC market will move to meet it.
Edit: In reply, Bruce Lee, Pepsi, ATI. Those are my preferences there. I absolutely agree, YMMV, but you can not assume anything about a person based on their console preference. I love RPGs and FPSs, but I dislike the Xbox 360. Why? Not enough exclusive titles. Clearly that's a big deal to me.
