360 rools wii DROOLS. Also motion sensors are cool but I dunno, I don't really like playing games with them very much. Fun to dick around with for a bit, though. In the future I see myself buying zero games with motion controls, whereas there are many games I want that do not have them.

So why does everyone care about motion controls. I think 3 years of the Wii and hardly any games to show for it should tell people that motions controls are a gimmick.

Because regardless, it still sells like hotcakes

The Nintendo Wii is a game system that grandmas can play with their grandkids, and people with lives outside of critiquing the textural accuracy of gooey ex-man giblets can play a fun game that won't turn you into a couch potato.  This is why it is currently the #1 selling home console, and broke all-time industry sales records during a recession year.  MotionPlus is the next step in the motion control experiment, an attempt to bring fine accuracy to a control scheme that has tons of potential for innovative game play.  And the DS Lite has Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon AND Elite Beat Agents, so fetch y'all.

I did recently get a PSP at a yard sale for $20.  God Of War was gorgeous, but I beat it in 2 days.  I still haven't beaten Fire Emblem, and I've had it for a month and a half.

PC is superior.

The wii would be fine if the vast majority of the games weren't just cheap cash-ins.

I think they were calling it a classic

I never said the DS was bad, in fact I'd say it's RAD, especially if we're talking about Fire Emblem. The wii is lame because there aren't really a lot of good games on it. Sure, there are plenty of games that are enjoyable if you just want goofy party games, and a lot of people want that. And that's fabulous, but I'm not a "casual gamer" or whatever.

So are you rating the PSP based on a total sum of one game? I mean it's ludicrous to compare an action title like GoW to Fire Emblem. I could say get Final Fantasy Tactics and it would be just as long as Fire Emblem.
I have both a DS and PSP, and both of them are almost equally awesome. I do use my PSP way more though but only for watching TV shows. The game library for both systems is almost equal.
