Hey guys. I am going to buy either one of the consoles, but I cannot decide which! Anyone who can recommend any of them, and say why they recommend it? 
WII or Xbox360?

Xbox 360 currently has more good games, but the Wii will have more eventually.

Totally different consoles.
The 360 is more expensive, more dedicated to gamers. The Wii is cheaper with games for the whole family. OF course there are exceptions, but that's the general idea.

That is an unfair assessment.

And you base this understanding on...

It's not an unfair assessment, and this understanding is based on the numerous declarations from Nintendo, along with their technological choices for their console, that show a clear targeting of a broader audience for the Wii than the traditional gaming crowd.
Games such as Wii Sports or Wii Play, along with a controller that does not have 16 buttons like the usual ones, and a conscious choice to forgo high technology for simplicity of use and cheap prices, is proof enough that the Wii does not target the same crowd as the 360 or the PS3.
And mind you, it's in no way a criticism, I only have a Wii right now. There are great complex games for hardcore gamers, true, but they do not define the console.
I mean, look at this Wii ad:
and now look at this 360 add:
Can't you see the difference between the two ads, the message they're conveying, and the target they want to reach?

There are definately complex and challenging games for the Wii though (Twilight Princess comes to mind). His post suggested that the only challenging games are on Xbox360.

The 360 is much cooler.

I bought a Wii for a variety of reasons. But I think that I'd prefer the concept of the Wii to be worked on by game developers. As far as potential goes, the greater-interactivity of the Wii will have better long-term benefits as a gaming system.

They really are two different systems. The Wii is more for people that have friends and a social life. Xbox/PS3 users are more for people that live in there parents basement.
Now I said that jokingly, but there is some truth to it.

Xbox 360 is a good console...simply because it has Gears of War which is a frigging AWESOME game to play with your buddies.
Wii though is more well-rounded. And chicks like to play it.

Gears of War is incredibly awesome in co-op mode. Best thing about the 360 I've seen, that game.

I have a Wii, but I have no social skills.
