Well The Wii is a activity that the entire family can play. It is not just sitting and pushing buttons, but you need to put your body into it.
I am getting a PS3. I like the games, and have played friends alot, and enjoy it.

Get a Wii, and have some fun, the ps3's are overpriced, and more of a gamers system, and the xboxes are still baking themselves to death.
The Wii really is fun for the whole family. If money isn't a concern maybe go for the PS3, rock band is pretty fun. We have a Wii and a PS2. If they don't have a game system now, they will probably love any of them.

the ps3 is awesome!!! call of duty 4 is as real as it gets. but the wii is fun just cause you have to interact with the game
It depends how old are the kids??
PS3 is backward compatible with their old games. So if they like any of their current games they can play it on the new console. Also get a remote for the PS3 and use it for your DVD player. Also note the PS3 is Blue Ray compatible. Look at what it costs for a Blue Ray DVD player and the PS3 is a bargin.
That was sum funny chit....
I've got a PS3 and I feel the exact same way. If you look at its capability, it's priced very reasonably. I've had mine since April and I use it more for Blu-Ray and DVDs than gaming. The firmware update this summer gave it capability to upconvert standard def. DVDs.
The Wii's are very fun to play.. but i personally like the games for ps3 better
My 12 y/o son loves the Wii, although he has to go to my 33 y/o brother's house to play it. I am not sure who is watching who at that point.
Wii has some great games to keep them off the coach and a little exercise.
For 6 and 9, I'd probably recommend the Wii. There are more games catering to younger children. Save the killing of Call of Duty until they're older.
I'm not a prude, but do 6 and 9 year olds really need to kill anything?

If you are buying the console for kids then get a Wii. If you are buying it for adults then it is a toss up between the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
Pros of the 360:
best on-line play
more games
better games
cheaper price
better controller
Pros of the PS3:
more capable system (blue ray player, expensive version is backward compatable)
better graphics
better reliability (360 has some warranty issues which they are covering but still a hassle)
I have a 360 and prefer it to the PS3. I may switch over to PS3 if they get their games up to par with the 360, but i prefer on-line play and 360 has that dominated right now with X-box live.

I'd agree the wii is better for younger kids, it's fun for adults too though.
Between the PS3 and 360 I like the PS3, they're both good but the PS has better graphics and can play blue ray. And halo 3 sucked.
