You're both in denial. The Wii, like most Nintendo products was built on a gimmick. X-Box has tons of first rate RPGs (better than Zelda), racing games (better than Mario Kart), fighting games (better than Smash Bros), and music/rhythm games (better than Wii Music). Why are they better? Because the machine they're on is capable of delivering a fun and deep experience that gives developers far more options than a cheaply made system.
I don't own a PS3, so I can't really name games out of its library, but Sony too tried to EVOLVE gaming with their console, rather than set the clock back, which is what Nintendo did because they can't compete with the other two.
You both have fun shaking your stick around though. I'll continue trying to sell my Wii on E-bay and make a profit on the toy thats collecting dust next to my gaming machine.
Nintendo is like your friend who starts dating some chick and then is too busy to come around. They don't care if YOU want to have fun, THEY'RE getting a blowjob.
They really have no other options at this point, they've alienated pretty much most third-party developers anyway. Buying a Wii was a huge waste of my money, I haven't turned it on in months, I figured "Hey, my X-box is broken and won't be fixed for a couple months because of their abysmal customer service, and it's a cheap game system, why not?" If only I could go back in time and warn myself that at this years E3 their biggest title would be a game where you shake the remote like a rattle to play a MIDI version of Yankee-Doodle Dandy.
I wish people would stop whining about an interface they haven't tried yet. "Oooh, it has avatars! The Wii has avatars! This is too kiddy!"- get over it. Avatars in my opinion add a lot to X-Box Live, especially in the way of personalization, something themes and backgrounds (all of which I'm not willing to pay for) don't. You can actually play online with these avatars in games like 1 vs. 100, which makes this more than just an aesthetic change, this is an upgrade.
So be a little more open-minded, and wait to try the damn thing before you bash it. It looks like it's simple and much more pleasing to the eyes than the current dashboard. Whether it actually is or not remains to be seen because I've seen very little about it so far, and I'm guessing most others who are so up-in-arms over the redesign have only seen that much too.

Nintendo hurts my God-damn brain.
