The fact that you even ask that question means you should get a 360. People who should get the wii are people who know It's about time Console makers started changing things up rather than just making better graphics and throwing out a system that's exactly the same as the last with a few upgrades.

I'd say Wii.

Pro Wii: It has an innovative controller and the console is a lot cheaper which translates to more games for a specific budget. The controller is easy to use, and has a much smaller learning curve. Plus Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is on the Wii and IMHO it's the best game ever created. I have a Wii and I've played a 360 and I can safely say that I like the Wii better. My friend has the 360, but after seeing the Wii and playing a few games on it he said the Wii was better too.

Pro 360: It has better graphics and a wider selection of games at the moment. Its online features have better support right now too. It is also an older system, so it probably has most of the bugs worked out by now.

But it's your choice. Choose wisely...

Forget the consoles themselves, people dwell way too much on that. Instead, ask yourself which game do you want to play more: Gears of War or Zelda? Answer that, and you've answered your question.

Of course, another factor to consider is how bad are you jonesing for a new console? You can actually buy an X360 without having to sell your soul...laying hands on a Wii is practically impossible. I'm getting a "coupon" for a Wii for XMas from my wife, we just can't find one anywhere.

what a question, go to best buy and try them both out, whichever you like, you take because u will get split answers here. personally, i say 360, because its superior in hardware.
