If you knew you were wanted to get one why would you wait so long....? Awesome article though, shame you didn't find anything. I'll play a game of Wii tennis in your name with the Wii I bought during last years Christmas hunt!

I want a PS3

Because I love sophisticated graphics.

I can appreciate that the Wii is the most popular, and good on them for that, but I like realistic games, and don't mind spending the extra.

The Wii wins on price no argument. But not all markets are price driven. Some don't mind spending the extra for quality.

There are probably more people eating McDonalds worldwide than say the most expensive food franchise. But McDonalds isn't for everyone is it?

Santa brought us a PS3. Grandma brought us a Wii. My son said he feels so spoiled that he should go help feed the hungry people in other countries!

The graphics on the PS3 are outstanding. The stick figures in Wii baseball are a joke, none the less, my 15 year old son plays the PS3 most of the time, while my 11 and 14 year old daughters go for the Wii.

Your own preferred style of game play is what matters.
