Get a 360.
I have Wii for almost a year now. Played through Zelda, nearly completed RE4, started metroid, held a couple of grogfests with WarioWare, but that`s it. Wii has endless potential, but developers hesitate to use it. Maybe next year or a year after that...
I have finally decided to get myself a 360 couple weeks ago and loving it. Xbox feels like a gaming console and not a hype-driven over-innovative rushed-out toy.
I love Wii, [hopefully] next year it will finally shine and live up to all expectations, but if you want a console right now, get an xbox.
RROD is scary, but you can fix it yourself pretty cheap, so if trouble arises and you don`t have warranty (modded console), you`re not stuck with 500$ brick.
IF they would not have this ROD problems and
IF I would have a HDTV and
IF there would be a chip for import games
THEN I would buy one aswell.
There are a few good games I would like play. Such as Halo 3 and Gears of War.
But I think, it has to wait. Still hope for a few good games on the Wii *me-keeps-finger-crossed-and-waits-for-Mario-Galaxy*
Mass Effect will be ported. Bioware's track record says so.[-EDIT-]
This PC games thing doesn't hold up with me either as the consoles still have loads of stuff that will never appear on PC! Like Ninja Gaiden 2, Mass Effect etc. I know stuff like Devil May Cry and Metal Gear sometimes get PC ports but it's always AGES afterwards. Fair enough with Gears of War, it has some nice extras, I'd love to play it but games like that NEED some extra content when coming to PC to warrant the purchase imo.

There's really no incentive whatsoever for someone who owns a moderately powerful PC to buy a 360.
I'm planning on getting a 360 too, since some games don't get PC ports.
That and I don't have a very good computer to run BioShock and others.
I'm not going to dabble with you regarding your ideas about whether a 360 is a worthy purchase or not. De gustibus non est disputandum. However, regarding the statement you quoted; communication is, as you may know, two-ways - meaning the reader is supposed to interpret out of the given context. Considering the context of that statement, it should be obvious it was based on my perspective and is my opinion. If you felt I offended you by seemingly making a statement on your part, I apologize. However, it is my belief that you deliberately misinterpreted my statement in order to use it as means to give the subjective ideas you put forth in your post weight.There's really no incentive whatsoever for someone who owns a moderately powerful PC to buy a 360.
So please don't say there's no incentive for someone with a moderately powerful PC to buy a 360, because it just isn't true. I respect your opinion of course but not generalizations like that.
Cheers
