Feh! Having "more power" doesn't make a system better. How much fun you have playing the games on it and using the controls it comes with without having to worry about it over-heating is what makes a console great. With the Wii, I have absolutely no worries and a total blast, because I'm actually playing games (classic games when I download them). The only reason the PS3 has more power is because they had to make it that way because of all the other junk they added onto it that people already own. The Wii doesn't have a much power because it doesn't need it. Its a gaming console. The people making it actually remembered that, instead of strapping a bunch of irrelevant garbage onto it. And anything they do add to the Wii is gaming based. That person you mentioned who thinks the PS3 is better obviously has no bearing on what he's talking about.
I already a VCR, a DVD-Player, a VCR-DVD-Player Hybrid, a TV, tradition computer, a laptop, an at-home CD player, and a portible CD player. I have no need for any of that other shit that Sony hacked into the PS3, and their line-up of games from now to everything that's been announced in the future sucks. Whereas I can't get my hands on Wii games fast enough.
Oh yeah, Sony will finally be edged out of the gaming business and you'll only have X-Box and Nintendo to buy from. What you hate about Nintendo so much, Dark, I will never know.
