Well, I want to say the Wii. It's cheaper, it's more innovative, and if the reviews reflect the general relative quality of its games over the next few years, it would be hard to not give it to the Wii. The 360 got a lot of flack starting out, but ultimately Microsoft has been a lot more sane about things than Sony this generation. I think people who want a high-definition experience will go with the 360 and people who want something new will go with the Wii... BUT...

There is one thing you can't ignore--the power of the Playstation brand. And I have a nagging notion that the power of the brand will mean the PS3 sells like wild once they have enough units to go around. Not that I think Sony 'deserves it' this generation.
