The choice is obvious...

Fucking hell. Is that for real? If so, it must be the most sad knacker-aimed advert in history. If anything, that's more likely to put a lot of people *off* buying the Wii.

cough "You've got to understand that, unfortunately, this advert is so true to the market each company is going for. I just found it funny that a couple of people on here thought it was a REAL advert. :D"

It's based on the (real and slightly funny) Mac vs PC ads

See, I can see a vaguely clever idea  and some irony in that ad but...

...Nah sod it. It's just some fan boys pandering to the lowest common denominator to try and prove some points. Nerdprom stuff.

oh come on it was funny.

I have to be honest. currently WII is top of my list for the upgrade of my game console.

i have the Xbox,i had a PS1.
also have a PSP and my boy has the DS,which i have to say has far more fun games then the PSP.

and really that was a funny add.

I thought that was pretty amusing and the girl in the shorts was fairly entertaining.

No console is worth ?415. I'm not even impressed with the launch title list. I want a Wii.

That girl was roughly the same shape as the PS3 going by the mock-ups they've been showing of late.

The wii.. they are trying to sell it that way.  Bet it works too.

Gotta say I trust Nintendo far more on quality of build and reliability!
I've had my cube since launch and in that time, my mates gone through three PS2'
Wii, all the way, baby!

"my mates gone through three PS2"

How? Does he use it as a tennis racquet? My PS2's been used loads from before the Game Cube was a twinkle in Super Mario's postman's eye, and still running fine. Reckon I'm gonna choose the PS2 I've already got over the Wii or PS3 for a few more years yet.

If I'm going to buy one of them it'll be the Wii, it's cheap and would make a nice companion console to my 360, where-as everything I've seen that I like the look of on PS3 is already confirmed for 360 anyway. So I'm another vote for Wii! And if those reasons aren't good enough then the hotpants ought to swing it.
