Most people who complain about the Wii's controllers have never played the Wii.. And just see it, and think it looks weird.
But on the Madden front, I didn't like Madden on Wii that much, especially with friends.. Sorta gimmicky, I dunno.. But games like Zelda and Wii Sports were great. Godfather, I thought, was best on the Wii.
But honestly, right now, the most stable one is the Wii, but 360 has the most games, but the console itself tends to breakdown, but i thought it was only launch consoles.. If you get a 360, buy the Warranty, if it breaks, it'll break within the first two years.
I guess a 360 + a warranty is still cheaper than a PS3.. Then, if you have a desire for a Blu-Ray player, the PS3 could be for you. Pricier, yes, but it could be better..
