Plus it's easier and cheaper to develop for the Wii.

Best game selection right now and traditional games are probably on the 360 though.
Not if you are using an HD display. I have both the Wii and the PS3, and the Wii looks awful in comparison on the plasma. Granted, the Wii will get better as the optimize the graphics, but so will the PS3. The Wii will always be substandard SD.

Unfortunately, I havent had the time to play either system enough. But, for the record, I've used the PS3 for about 80 hours and the Wii for about 10. On the other hand, my wife uses the Wii when she has friends over, but will not touch anything to do with the PS3. If you have younger kids to play with, say under 12, then that probably dictates you should get the Wii.

I thought I would play the Wii, especially with Zelda, but the constant reading of all the speech-text and poor SD graphics really turned me off. It was probably made worse by the fact that I had just come from a 100 hours of Oblivion on my PC.

The Wii is cheaper, but the PS3 includes a Blu-Ray player which has been awesome to have. I've probably used the PS3 more for playing Blu-Ray movies than games.
