I own both a PS3 and a Wii, and I believe Wii is the better console. It has motion sensing control, and in the nunchuck too, which can be really fun at parties, or even just when you're playing by yourself. The PS3 only has tilt control, in six directions, which feels like it's been slapped on at the last second.
The Wii graphics aren't PS1 level, which some say they are, but sometimes the games feel rushed, like Call of Duty 3. But if you look at a game such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, or Medal of Honor: Vanguard, the graphics look really nice. The Virtual Console is also getting many great games now, such as Kirby, Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda, and much more. A lot is still possible for the Wii, such as a Mii popularity channel, or a Wii instant messanging channel. The Wii online play has been confirmed to launch on July 15th, and I'm sure it will be fun. Some of the people here that are saying the Wii sucks have no idea what they're talking about. Wiimotes and all that stuff are way more easier to find now, you can find them hanging at Targets everywhere. The Wii itself is also getting easier to find. In my opinion, the Wii, at $250, is way more fun than the Playstation 3, at $600, honestly, who buys the basic model? For the price of the premium, you could get an 360 core and a Wii, or two Wiis, or two 360 cores. Wii60 FTW!
EDIT: And the people who are afraid that the Wiimote may damage electronics, or injure people can rest. The wrist straps are now reinforced, and it's very, very hard to make it snap. Anyways, like Kyougi said, the people who let their Wiimotes go are morons.
