I went out and bought a 360 and a Wii but what made me buy them both? Well the 360 has more of the type of games I want to play (Dead Rising, Halo 3, GTA IV, Oblivion) but the Wii is a very fun format. At the moment the Wii is doing very well because of the party effect (go to a party, play on a Wii, spend the next day's hangover buying one for yourself) so it'll be interesting to see how long this continues for.
Really the Christmas console winner is going to hang on what will be the dominant target age group. If it's teenagers/male 20-somethings then it's going to be the 360 or the PS3 all the way; otherwise it'll be the Wii.

So hard to choose between them
