Hmm... I doubt that Wii, unlike GameCube, is actually built to last. It really seems like something Nintendo will push through for the max of 2 years. It's not a next-gen console, even if it claims to be one. GC on the other hand, had the technical power to compete with PS2 and XBOX.

As for the PS3 vs. 360, it's obvious. PS3 has better hardware, better coding base and, to emphasise on the hardware bit again, a BlueRay Disc player inside. There's no way the 360 can stand up against that. And as for games, I wouldn't really focus that much on FFXIII. I'm sure there'll be plenty other great games for the PS3 to make it a worthwhile buy.
