I'll probably get a PS3 and Wii at the same time, probably by April-ish. In regards to the PS3, I'm actually very disappointed in the almost universally poor framerates of all the launch games. I didn't expect the games to look better than Xbox 360 games until at least the first year has passed (assuming it can look much better), but I certainly didn't expect frame rate issues, even from ports. The Blu-Ray features do nothing for me, as does the Xbox 360's HD-DVD add-on, since there is no hope for a two market hi-def DVD format. One or the other will have to win out eventually and we'll need a standard that supports both in the end. Probably the thing that most intrigues me about the PS3 beyond the optical disc and hard drive capacities is the Six Axis controller. I actually like the concept a bit better than that of the Wii in theory, since it tries to implement something new in a more traditional form factor. However, I'm still not sold on the "necessity" of either one.
