Yeah but that's been the excuse forever, and the only new thing that stands out to me is Home, everything else is available on other consoles and I doubt he will see a difference in picture unless he's got like a 1080p.
But that's just my opinion.
After PS2 started getting old I gave up on Sony and I'm extremely happy with my 360 and Wii. But I wasn't happy when I had to send my first 360 back for the ring of death, that's the one thing I don't like about it.
i want a lot more from a console, and the ps3 offers that, the 360 offers a lot as well, but less, and the wii doesnt offer much besides games
as long as people dont start comparing the wii to the 360 and/or ps3 and saying that it pwns them then im sure this thread will stay calm
