Err... Hate to burst your money bubble, but nintendo will be making profits right from launch. PS3 ans 360 need to wait until they make up their debt and expenses. And worldwide, at LAUNCH they will have sold almost 2 million units. Developers want to develop for Wii because it gives them freedom, lets them make innovative original games... They will make profit as long as peopl buy wii, which they will for the games.

Wii is all about games, so as a games system could be considered better than the PS3 and 360 because of its gameplay. If you judge games by graphics, wii is not for you. If you judge a games console by its ability to do things other than play games, wii might be for you. Its designed to appeal to a wider audience, it may not offer blu ray or HD dvd, but it allows members of a household to do things they want through the wii channels system..

I am going to get a PS3 as well for the reasons youre stating and because I like the PS3 games. But wii is just too good to turn down.
