Mod: OK, guys, this is a spin-off discussion that originated from the power consumption thread. Keep it civil!
I think Wii is a bit more toy than the others. I'm looking for total audiovisual experiences and large budget games with compelling storylines that moves me emotionally. I'm not looking for a party console as much. In my opinion there is very strong correlation between total system power and ability provide entertaiment. Wii can provide me something else that the others can't, but it could never replace them.
A more relevant question might be if it provides only 1/10 the fun. These devices are toys, "efficiency" should relate to their intended use. The question is of course impossible to answer quantitatively. (Judging by customer reports, the degree of fun provided by the Wii is typically regarded to be higher than provided by the alternatives, making it the fastest selling console right now. Be that as it may, I think we can safely say that there is no apparent correlation between power draw and ability to provide entertainment, and the environmental/ergonomic advantages of low power draw are obvious.)
