Dude save your money. Having money is not a viable reason to spend money.

I would wait till after E3 to see if I would get a Wii. It has some good games... but very few.

No more waiting for stupid E3's, now or retire.  ​

I have one... it's ok.  It has some great titles but its very few compared to the 360 or PS3 which have many.  The Wii is 95% shovelware.

I hardly play it when people arent over and even then Mario Kart and Smash are competing against Rockband (PS3).

Zelda is good (though I have a GC version), RE4 is good (but its a port), Okami is good (also a port), then theres Sunshine, Metriod, and Fire Emblem.

It has Tales of Symphonia 2 coming out which will be good but besides that I wouldn't recommend it over a 360 or a PS3.

Aw great, now I'm even more confused.

Lose weight or better games... 

But I wanna play something besides RPG's all the time.  ​

Lose weight... go outside? Workout?

Also there are other genres besides RPGs.

Well if you just want one... get one.  I don't recommend it but if you're already set on it... why ask us?

Just so you know, rock band comes out on Wii in two days and includes 5 songs that are DLC on ps3 and xbox360. Also, what games you find good depends on what games you find good. All of the systems have comparable games depending on what you're into. To be honest, none of the CONSOLE KILLERS for the ps3 appeal to me:

Metal Gear Solid 4 - never played a metal gear solid game passed the beginning. Didn't really like it, and I heard if you're not a fan of mgs, you'll be completely lost
Uncharted - Gears of War outside
Ratchet and Clank: Future Tools of Destruction - Action platformer. While I like the series, not enough to sell me.
Resistance: Fall of Man - CONSOLE FPS
Warhawk - Third Person Shooter
Final Fantasy XIII - Don't like final fantasy.
Gran Turismo 4 - Don't like racing sims.
Little Big Planet - with all the hype, I think this will probably lose it's appeal pretty fast (holy shit did he just say that?)
God of War 3 - bloody prince of persia with button mashing puzzles.

I should've probably posted that in the other topic, but it's whatever.

EDIT: Brawl, mario kart, zelda, galaxy, boom blox are enough to make me have a wii, and ToS2 sounds pretty nice too.

EDIT EDIT: Don't let me discourage anyone from getting a ps3, if you like those series, then I've heard the sequels are pretty good.

If you're really that hard up for a system then why not the 360?  I'm personally pretty content with my Wii (though I do have a 360 too), but generally speaking the 360 seems to be the system with least amount of criticism against it regarding the available software.  If you're willing to give up on what makes the other two viable choices for you then I'd go that route.  To be honest though, you probably should hold on to that money until you can make a better decision on your own.  As mentioned before, why not wait till after E3?  It comes up next month and you'll have a better idea of what to expect throughout the rest of this year and on into early 2009 or so.

I own a wii and can tell you there are a lot of shitty 3rd party titles. But here is some wii games that are worth looking at:
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
Medal of Honor Heroes 2(Yeah a WWII game, with friend code-less 32 player online!) 
No More Heroes
Metroid Prime 3
Super Smash Brothers Brawl(Overrated, but fun)

I have others, but what I am truly looking forward to is the upcoming FPS called "Conduit".

Too bad that Super Paper Mario is one of the most repetitive titles I've ever played. :<
It's alright though, I guess.

The GC Paper Mario was awesome, and one of the best games for GC, which is why I was so disappointed with the Wii Paper Mario. It does have pretty good reviews though, but I think it's pretty overrated and most of the people I know who have played it have got bored of it within few hours due to it being repetitive. I played the game to 6th or 7th chapter or something, and the last couple of chapters felt like forcing myself to play it.
