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.

Maybe subconciously [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img], but not all racers are actually sport type racers, like Driver or ATV offroad and games like that.

yes, definitely the Wii for kids (the under-12 set). ps3/360 are geared for teens/adults.

even babies like the wii, eh:

baby - wii- golf
