Well, I sold my Wii, which I purchased on launch day.
*cough*
It's basically just like every other Nintendo system, but with motion controls (which I really don't think are all they were cracked up to be)...
Better if you have friends (darn!), and only really good for Nintendo's games.
Unless you're a non-gamer who heard about it on the news, then you'll think it's only good for Wii Sports.
Hell, so far Wii's third party lineup seems even weaker than Gamecube's...

Still not sure I can say that I regret it though... I had fun with it for maybe 6-8 months, and sold it for only $10 less than I bought it for... Quite a nice rental price.

360's nice.
But overall I haven't even played it that much since WoW still has a firm grip on my life...
Wouldn't say I regret it, though... I've played a couple really great games, and own a few more that I'm really looking forward to playing once I regain my free will.
