Admittedly, the 360 has vastly better graphics, a much better catalogue of games, XBox Live, etc... but when it comes down to it, these are only more important when you're playing alone. It's no fun for other people to sit and watch someone play Gears of War, but if you've got people over, then watching them do the boxing or play tennis in Wii Sports, or do cow tossing in Rayman, etc... is a much better experience, imo.

In an ideal world, the 360 (or PS3) and a Wii is a perfect combination as you cover both bases
Oh I don't disagree mate. Only time my Wii gets used lately is when I have mates over. But other then that, it just sits there gathering dust.

For single player experience, 360 definitely gets my vote.

For 'online' multi player experience, 360 still gets my vote.

But for 'offline' multi player experience, then its the Wii all the way!

Good man Get yourself a Wii soon as then, because Wii60 owners have all the fun!
