I like the Wii primarily because the other two consoles have (and I have no clue why) geared their consoles such that there are almost no good local multiplayer games. I just don't think it makes sense that if I want to play Call of Duty 4 with my brother I have to buy another Xbox 360, you know? The wii on the other hand has sorta gone the extra mile for players like me by making local multiplayer way more fun with interactive local profiles (miis), little freebie trivia games, and the message board app that lets you leave pictures, music, high scores/Mario Kart achievements, and other goodies for people that share the Wii with you. I also really dig the controller, because its more intuitive and less about pointless skills. I never used to good against my friends in fighting games, for instance, simply because I used keyboards so much that I'm just not used to using two joysticks simultaneously while pressing awkward button combinations (especially on the PS controller where they use shapes instead of colors to differentiate the controller buttons).
