I apparently stirred up some strong emotions with my little blurb about putting my Wii into cold storage. Yes, the Wii is in cold storage. No, this does not mean that I think the Wii sucks. And it speaks nothing of the quality (or "funness") of the games available on the Wii. What this really says is that I don't game that much anymore. And the Wii is a dedicated gaming machine without much to offer in functionality that is not already covered by my PS3.
The PS3 stays out not because it is a gaming megamachine -- which it is -- but because it is a damned good mediacenter. The PS3 can play Bluray movies (which I get from Netflix); it can play DivX and MPEG4 formatted stuff; it plays music; and it shows pictures. Yes, I try to play some games on the PS3, but I do not use it primarily as a gaming machine.
So, please, everyone who gasp and exclaimed "Whuuut?" at my blurb about putting my Wii away: It is nothing personal against the Wii.
