I bought the Wii for my kids. They love it and I love playing with them. I wanted to get a "real" game for myself and friends so I picked up Call of Duty for the Wii. In short, it was awful to play co-op. I controlled where we walked and we both had zappers(guns). It was one screen instead of split screen! I had similar experiences with other games. It was the last straw for me and I saved up and bought a PS3 and now have a machine for me. Bottom line in general terms: Wii: Family and Kids - PS3/Xbox: Hard core gamers. One bonus...the Wii *is* very easily hacked.

Come on now...we all know that running in summer games was done with two buttons. The real trick was using a back-pocket comb to go even faster.
