perhaps. however i do like zelda, and would buy a wii just for that game, but was hoping i would have a few other games i could buy (example games on the cube that can be played on the wii)

Chicks dig the Wii so I guess you are better off with the PS3.

Re: PS3 or Wii
 

ps3 is a waste of time

I like my Wii and plan on a 360 soon

Unless there is an exclusive game for the ps3 you want to play (Final Fantasy for example) there is no reason to get it. Game Manufactures great games for the lowest common denominator in this case the 360

Re: PS3 or Wii
 

This should be in the video games forum as there is lots of discussion on all 3.

Between the PS3 & Wii I would go w/ the PS3 due to HD graphics, blue-ray, and the games I play (Oblivion, Resistance, Ninja Gaiden, plus GTA, FF, MGS to come). Wii is fun if you're playing a lot w/ other people, but if it's just for yourself I think it will lose its marvel quickly unless you're into that sort of thing.

Since the OP doesn't like shooters, racers, or sports games I wouldn't recommend the 360. It does have Oblivion & GH and soon to be released Mass Effect and the graphics are great, but the game selection is fairly limited if you aren't into the aforementioned games. Also

Lots of good news for the PS3 (ignore the first link, that was terrible on my part...), so if any of this looks like games you'd be into I'd recommend the PS3.

I would assume that you don't want to purchase a new machine when they are 15-17, right? I would just ask them. What kind of games do they like?

Shooters, sports, racing games -> 360
3rd person adventure games, RPG -> PS3
wii is kind of a new niche market that doesn't really do the 'classic' games very well, but does have that new marvel to it, and some cool games unlike anything on the PS3 or 360.

Wii is probably your best choice now as it also has the most muliplayer/party type games they can play now.

This is kind of a touchy subject so owners of only one system will defend it to the death. I've only dabbled in the wii (not really by thing), but own both a PS3 and a 360 FWIW and this is from my experience. The only thing I play on my 360 right now is Halo and I'm waiting for Mass Effect in Nov.
