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.

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

even babies like the wii, eh:

i have a 360, wii, and ps3. i got a ps3 on launch day. ive played it twice. theres no interesting games on it, and when i played madden, it ran much worse on ps3 than 360. i had high hopes for the ps3 but so far its a gigantic downer. the wii is usually fun in 30 minute bursts, which is great for me as i have a short attention span, and its also good when you have a few friends over or need to kill a few mins before a movie with your girlfriend or something. 360 > wii > ps3

after thinking it over for a while i'm going to have to go with the 360 due to potential future modding, ninja gaiden II is exclusive to that system, and GTA: IV will also be available on 360.

thx for inputs everyone, i am sure this is the right choice. i'm sure this is going to look sick on my 50"
