I am just as excited for the Wii as I am for the fact that I am getting a "Gamecube" as well. There's a lot of games that I want to play that I did not want to buy a console for.

Count me in for the Wii. I was on the fence between the Wii or PS3. From E3, the Wii was a winner for me. Also for a price stand point, the Wii will be in the price range I want. I have the 360 right now, so I'll wait on the PS3 for a while.
This is going to be a fun console. I image playing any sports games with my friends is going to be great. Just image four slightly inebriated guys playing tennis or any other sports games. Let the good times roll......

I'm undecided, leaning towards it though, price will be important to me. Fun multiplayer games is a given since it's Nintendo. Consider that my last console was the original Nintendo and no further, the thought that I may be swayed back into things by Nintendo says a lot. I may be the audience that Nintendo is trying to attract.

I'm definately hooked for wii. Was going to get it before E3, but now I'm overly excited. Smash Brothers Brawl, Super mario galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Zelda....can't possibly have the time to play all these wonderful games. Luckily, Mario won't be a launch title.

Up until E3, I had no interest in Wii. I really didn't pay much attention to it (being so caught up in the 360). But after viewing the press conference, I'm most definitely interested in getting it now. The price will determine whether or not I buy it on launch day.
I've come to the conclusion that the 360 isn't a good fit for my tastes. Not to mention that Microsoft has failed to deliver in quite a few areas that are not important to most 360 owners, but are important to me.
The 360 seems to be riddled with FPS wargames and games that require huge investments of time (that I don't have).... like OblIVion. I think that what is most telling is that the game I enjoyed the most (Amped 3) is completely and totally trashed and disliked by the 360 gaming community-at-large.
I saw the Wii games being demoed and they just looked like a lot of fun.

I honestly didn't want one at first. The whole control scheme just reeked of a silly little gimmick to me for the longest time. Now, after seeing the games in motion and hearing more about playing NES/SNES/etc. games, I'm super excited for this.
Never did I think that I'd be more excited for a new Nintendo console than a new Playstation.
Now I just need a price point and a release date, and I'll be all set.

I was a little disappointed that in the golf game you still choose aiming with the d-pad, and the controller action only determines power. I want it to control aiming and everything.

$100 console
2x $50 games
= $200
I think you'll be waiting a good while to get all that for $200. A bundle at some point might speed things up a bit though.

And it won't be under $200.

As with every console...
I'll wait to see more game annoucements. That's why I haven't bought the 360 yet, and looking like I never will. Nothing over-exciting to warrent an upgrade.
