One thing you have not mentioned that is very important in your decision is how much do you care about modding/homebrew? Cause if it matters to you a lot you need to go with the Wii. BTW there are several FPS and RPG games for the Wii Such as COD MW or WaW, MOH2, Metroid Other M, and LOTR A.Q. etc... But in all honesty the XBOX360 has better graphics and more choices in those categories, but the Wii IMHO, has way more to offer, especially once HBC is installed. Not to mention you do not have to fear playing online with a modded Wii like you do with the XBOX360. Also the Wii is better priced and used ones are cheaper than new ones and if you get a used one from gamestop it comes with a warranty and has a chance to be bootmii on boot2 able vs on ios, if you care about homebrew. One other case for the Wii is that online play is free, the wii store has good stuff at decent prices, and Ninty will not send a "Death" signal to your Wii if they were to find out it was modded, which they cannot anyways AFAIK, but there are reports that MS has intentionally turned off the cooling fan in modded units remotely. At least this is what I was told second hand. I do not own an XBOX360 anymore. I hope this helps as that is all I am trying to do here.

Sincerely,

i care a lot about homebrew and modding. @peter pikmin! @blazer i see that the comparison is not outright.

well, i can say that i would probably be looking for innovative games that i can actually play for a long time and not get bored.

Hmm... for innovative gameplay, that's the Wii, hands-down. But a long time? A Wii disc, if my memory serves me right, doesn't really last long in the story department, but... on the Xbox 360, Halo Reach just came out, and since that's probably in my opinion, the best FPS of the moment, you should get an xbox. It's not an 'apples-to-apples' comparison; you just need to play to their strengths and see which is best. If it helps, Halo Reach got 10/10 in some review I read somewhere. (helpful, right?

The Grammar Nazis are not happy. /_\

p.s with the xbox, you'd better purchase xbox live now; it's going up in price.
