It really first comes down to the type of games you like. BAsed on what you have said it seems like you could be happy in pretty much any aspect of gaming.
Now with Nintendo you will get more variety overall of game types and very dedicated and long list of 1st party games like Galaxy,SSBB,Mario Kart,Strikers,Mario Party ect.ect. But Nintendo hasn't been the best supported 3rd party game wise for some time now, and it's more of a gamble than a guarantee that the 3rd party will wise up enough to show support for the dominating console "sales wise".
Don't get me wrong they are getting some big titles like GH3,Rockband,Starwars, ect. But the big "hardcore titles" like GTA,COD,FF type games will not shine on the Wii unless they design it specific for the Wii as opposed to a cheep port, and so far this attutuide twards the Wii seems to be in the minority for 3rd party.
With 360 you get THE BEST online support with a few very good 1st party games, Beyond that you will also get almost a complete list of the top 3rd party titles aswell to join it. There has been hardware issues but as its been pointed out they are dealing with them and it seems to be very well so far.
If the games can't sway you one way or another ask yourself what type of gaming you do more.
Is most of your gaming by yourself or playing friends online? " If so go 360"
Or is most of your gaming shared with the company of friends in your home and the occasional online? "If so you want the Wii"
Touchy subject really only you can decide in the end based on your own taste.
Prime example of why you should not listen to the average Wii Chat person because this is a Wii forum and most of them are biased or they are just misinformed. There are PLENTY of non FPS games. Hell the next 5 or so games I do plan on buying for my 360 are not FPS games.
Exactly.
You should really just do your own research, and find out which current/announced games you'll enjoy playing the most.

I have both, all three consoles actually. I find I play my 360 the most, followed by the Wii, then the PS3 (mostly use it for Blu-rays). The 360 has the best online play by a mile. But with family and friends over, the Wii is the most fun! It all depends on what kinds of games you're into. I'm in love with Halo so I had to have the 360 but it sounds like you're a big SSB fan so maybe the Wii is for you.
I would say buy a wii first because it's cheaper, reliable, dependable, and different. You can buy a 360 in a few months when they come out with a better version with blu-ray because they need to compete with Sony. If you buy a 360 first like right now, a newer better version will be out soon and you just wasted your loot. You won't be dissapointed with the wii since you like Brawl. Plus there's Mario Galaxy where you can defy gravity, then grapple and shoot with Metroid, blow up zombies heads into pieces w/ RE4, fly and drift w/ Excite Truck, box, bowl, and slap some tennis balls w/ your granny or girlfriend if you have one w/ Wii Sports, Mario Strikers Charged even if you don't like soccer, slice your foes with the wiimote in Zelda, jump from 2d to 3d in Paper Mario, old skool VC Nintendo Games, become a genius w/ Big Brain and Zack n Wiki, shoot light gun arcade style w/ RE:UC, House of the Dead, Ghost Squad, the list goes on....

What is your brilliant input on this subject Sovieto. You keep making remarks about what everyone else has to say, without any of your own input. Your doing a good job of helping this kid decide which console to choose.
If u want a system for great online play... Just go with the 360.... period... I am not gonna be fanboyish.... Wii's online has yet to prove itself a good online system

Whats the deal with pc gamers thinking that aiming is terrible on controllers, sure its easier with the mouse but after a few days it becomes natural to aim with the controller.
Anyway, back on topic. At first I bought a wii and had fun with it for about half a year, started to get bored and I slowly used it less and less. I then bought a 360 and sold my wii a few months later. I'd say get a 360 for some epic multiplayer & games, but if you're unsure do some research and find games that you like on whatever console.

Agreed. Although I'd buy Wii Strip Poker.

The Blu-ray will be external just like the HD player, no one will have to rebuy 360's to use it.
Btw I also think controllers are fine. Like Sovieto said its been used for years now and its fine. I actually played alot of CS 1.6 on steam alot using a mouse and I like the controller just fine. Infact ive gotten so used to it I aim alot better with the controller than I do with a mouse. The only downside to the controller over the mouse so far is how fast you can move. I can react and shoot people just as fast, but I can't turn as fast which is useful when getting shot in the back.
Besides, Controllers are more simple to use. I don't have to worry about being forced to use a very immobile keyboard and mouse. I can sit anywhere with my controller or even stand up.

I highly doubt Microsoft would eve bring out a 360 with a blu ray drive. How would they get it to read both 360 games aswell as blu ray movies ?

How do they get it to read 360 and the current HDDVD they support?
Easy its an add on disk drive with a simple software update. The 360 doesn't use HDDVD for its games its an add on to it as Blu-ray would be. MS has already said they would support Blu-ray on the 360 if it wins the HD disk war. They can do this by add on or by putting it right into the console fromt he start. Simple.

ask anyone in the video game media and theres my answer.
