I have all three consoles.. forget ps3, if you think YOU will play it, get the xb, if not get the Wii.

We have kids and they love the Wii. There are a lot of rated games on XB and ps3 since they target a more mature audience. It's a pain for us, we always have to check the rating.

With the Wii, it's dead simple and fun. You can even buy the classic nintendo games.
