PS3, while not having a 'partying while drunk' fun type-of-feel, has approached an older, more challenging game-type market. Not only that, but any PS console so far never dissapoints.
I'd buy a PS3 over the Wii simply for the game types. To anyone who says PS3 is for 16-35 year olds that can't grow up, well, I beg to differ. This age range grew up on video game systems, and have been closely associated with any new console recently released since 1990. I'm 23, and don't consider myself in any way, shape or form too 'old' for video games. It's simply an evolution of leisure activity, IMO. Games on the PS3, while having some violent content, are probably no different than that same age range going to a violent movie. The PS3 games are simply more attractive to my age range because of the game content and the challenging aspect of them.

I really didn't mean 'can't grow up' in an offensive way.
And i think you will argue with me until you are blue in the face, but one day you will have ~two beautiful children and a loving wife and you will look at PS3 style games and be very clearly convinced that 'killing and mutilating and otherwise bathing in a sea of blood' is not a particularily 'mature' pass time. And you will further likely see added benefit in being able to include more people from your life into your video gaming experience then your drinking buddy from college and some random co-worker...
There is nothing inheriently immature about the base of PS3 or XBOX games, but that does not mean by extension that they represent a mature allocation of priorities and perspectives either...
