The wii will probably sell more for a few reasons
1- you dont need to get a loan to buy it
2-Everyone hates sony
3-There are more available
4-The new game play will probably attract many new people to gaming

GoW is amazing as is the 360 as a console. I am only going with the Wii because it is taking a huge step forward for the way we play. I am not really a "mindless fanboy" as much as I am anti-Sony. I like both 360 and Wii a lot and to play 360 I go to my bud's house. To play the Wii he comes over here. So its not like I just play Wii and nothing else for you who think I don't like the 360. As for PS3, I think its down enough...

1. get a new job if you cant afford $500. Its not that much money.
2. alot of people prefer sony. How many sony products do you see? HOw many nintendo products?
3. very true, but its not hard to build more of a product that has very little features.
4. it will definitely attract the younger generation. I see little kids with a ds all the time.

1-$500 is a lot to pay for a piece of shit.
2-Sony was very good until a guy named Kaz Hirai came along...
3-Little features? Backwards compatibility, motion sensing, VC, news, weather, email, and internet browsers. Very configurable controllers with all the add-ons. All packed into the smallest package out of the three contenders.
4-Older people will be attracted. The reason Nintendo is popular with kids is how they think of what the gamer would want rather than shoving blue ray crap in their face.

The reason kids like the wii is because they like having fun with FUN games not about watching DVDs or looking at pretty movie scenes. And I like having fun too and I'm 14. My mam's 40 and the Wii is the first game console she ever played with one of her friends so I think the Wii isn't for little kids. Its for everyone who wants to have fun.

The Wii will succeed for many reasons, most of which are covered already so I wont go back over them again. In the long run once Wii outnumbers all other consoles in peoples homes around the world(Which it will because it has the broadest audience of any console) Then you will see a flood of 3rd party games and many MUST HAVE games which we have yet to even imagine.
Sony on the otherhand hand has narrowed its userbase by stretching the pricepoint of the PS beyond the level of "reasonable". Less PS3's in peoples homes means less people to buy games, means less $$(market share) for third party developers, means that many of them are going to be developing for Nintendo again.
The whole picture is very basic. Wii has a much cheaper and shorter game development and a larger user base to buy the games which are produced for it. This means that companies who develop Fun and imaginative games for it will see enormous returns on their investment(profit) and people who own Wii's will have ALOT more choice when it comes to buying a new game. PS3 games will require more $ and time to develop not to mention that there wont be as many users to buy those games. Therefore companies will make fewer PS3 games and owners of the PS3 will have less games to choose from, thereby reducing peoples desire to buy the PS3 because it has no good games.
Result..... Market shift from Sony to Nintendo

It has to be the 360, for the price i dont think the PS3 offers enough of a difference to warrent buying (around £400 to £500 in the UK i think).
