I own a 360, but I've played a Wii several times (Wii Sports, Wii Play, Excite Truck, and Warioware). For me, anyway, there's just no compelling reason to get a Wii, and I've been less than impressed whenever I've played it. Sure, Wii Sports is a neat game the first time you try it, but after the novelty of the motion-sensing controller wears off, you realize just how simple it is. I've had more fun playing Virtua Tennis and Top Spin with conventional controllers than I've had playing Wii Sports Tennis with the Wiimote.
Even my wife, who I thought would love the Wii, got bored with it quickly. You can't argue with success, though, and Nintendo has been supremely successful with the Wii, so I guess we're in the minority.
