I am considering buying a new system to play with this christmas. It boil down to either 360 or a wii. If i decide to get a 360 over at microcenter with the mir, i can get 360 prenium for around the same price as the wii + 50 bucks. I mianly want to get wii for zelda and maybe trauma center but not much down in the road and got unique control and 360 for a whole lot of new and fun games coming up soon but same old control, and yes i love good graphic. I already have a cube already so i can probably get zelda for cube, but i can't deciode which one should I get.
 
360 probably. If the Wii had versions of Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Mario Cart, ect then it might be a contest. As it stands, it will be several years before the Wii has enough good software to justify the cost (IMO, of course). The 360 has a few great titles now, and many more in the near future. 360's graphics horsepower alone is probably the deciding factor for me.
 
Personally, I would choose the Wii over the 360, but only because I prefer the Nintendo exclusives. The 360 is probably more along the lines of what you're looking for -- especially if you're big on graphics. You pretty much answered your own question:

If you're only really interested in the Wii for Twilight Princess, you should just get the GameCube version and buy the system with more games you're interested in -- and it sounds like that's the X-Box 360.
 
I'm hooked on the 360. The Live dashboard and Arcade games are awesome. The $30 I've spent on the Arcade downloads are easily some of the best game buys I've made in years. Oh, and the other games rock too of course.

On the Wii side, I've only spent about an hour total across a few demos and love the play style. I'm still hooked on the GameCube, can't wait for the downloadable classics, and definitely want to sink into Zelda. But in the near-term (6mths or so), I know I will get a lot more play out of the 360.

So the way I see it, Wii is kick ass novelty with a lot of amazing and fun gameplay. But the 360 is the real gaming work-horse so far with a lot more to offer over a wider range of titles, and much more play time.

Go for the 360 then pick up the Wii when the library builds out, classic downloads start to pile up, and your tax return hits in April. ;)
 
I would get the 360.I'm not trying to be mean but the wii's graphics look just like the gamecube graphics.
 
The 360 is easily the more well-rounded of the two systems, and 2007 for it looks like arguably one of the greatest years for a game console ever.

I was lucky enough to get a Wii, and now I'm wondering if there are even going to be five games worth paying full price for next year. I'm guessing (after Wario Ware) Metroid Prime is a lock, and Super Mario Galaxy will probably be out by Fall (anyone thinking it's really hitting within six months of launch is laughably delusional), but that may be it. My sense is that Super Smash Bros. Brawl is 50-50 at best for 2007, and any other AAA Nintendo title you can think of is probably a ways off.

Unless you're a legitimate Nintendo fanboy ('out' or not), the Wii is really the ideal second console, the counterpoint to your 'grown up' 'next-gen' console of choice. Sure, you can get more to start off with if you set aside $500 for either, but I just feel like it's going to take another 12-18 months for it to really develop a worthwhile library (outside of the Virtual Console, anyway). And no, kids, my pessimism doesn't mean I'm selling mine. Nice try, though.

EDIT: Another major concern I have for the Wii is how many third-party developers will even bother with its version of multi-platform games once the current/last gen systems are all but completely dead and buried (like, oh, mid-next year). I'm not sure exactly how this all works, but it's one thing for them to tweak a game for the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube and slap it on the Wii with a different control scheme, but it's got to be another to make a graphically dumbed-down version of a 360/PS3 game for just one console. Is the Wii library going to be even smaller than the 'cube's? Logic, in the long run, would seem to dictate "Yes."
 
360 now due to the games and live marketplace stuff thats out right now, but down the road i'd probably go wii because titles are kinda lacking (as far as at this very moment) IMO, especially on the VC.
