You can't just say one console sucks over another, in your opinion maybe but not just in generally. Each have their positive and negative points and each fits into a certain persons criteria. I plan to get them all at some point  It would have been more helpful if the OP had specified what he/she liked and important features and so on. |
Wii isn't completely free actually. As well the online play with Wii games is basically limited to the game you're playing and not a universal thing with it's own network.
Nintendo has already said the the Wii won't be free online for every game, let alone free for ever.

Nintendo will begin to charge for network access in some future Wi-Fi Network games; those games will carry a new, "alert"-red Wi-Fi logo, meant to ensure there is no mistake in the consumer's mind that there will be additional charges here. Aoyama assured the audience that Nintendo means to do all it can to prevent the charges from taking users by surprise.
