I understand the logic and actually fought the PS3 for awhile based on that too, but if you do enjoy gaming, you will find that the quality of games on the PS3 is out of this world compared to the Wii. The Wii has basically become a "Wii Sports" only machine for parties.
The PS3 is by far and away my gaming machine of choice in what little time I have to play games... sound/graphics are excellent, not to mention networked music/video streaming over your home network, which was a huge added plus I hadn't counted on. It is an amazing machine for the price.
You can now stream media through the Wii as well, through a software package and I have found the Wii to be getting some decent games as of late, I actually like the Wii controls better for some games, I guess I am not a true gamer.
