CloseI can only think of a few reasons to get one.
No More Heroes (Wii)
Lost Kingdoms (GC)
Lost Kingdoms II (GC)
F-Zero GX (GC)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (GC)
As I see it, if I can think off enough games to the point that the games' sum price exceeds the console's, it's buyable. Especially considering the fact that I'm a completionist gamer, so five games can actually hold me off for a good while.

With all the recent "me-not-playing-my-Wii" happening, I getting this odd feeling that Nintendo starting to slip down slope that it may never get out of; sure the Wii has been selling very well, but I've just got this weird notion that Nintendo is growing old just like Miyamoto.
I will say the Wii has a good game every now and then, but there aren't many I've played. I didn't like Metroid as an FPS. Brawl was great, but I've grown bored of it.
As of right now the only things I'm waiting for on the Wii is No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle and the remade Punch Out!!
My roommate's 360 on the other hand is played more often, so much so that it's actually IN MY ROOM!

Mmm.. I believe that what killed the Wii was the lack of GOOD online play. Friend codes? screw that. People refuse to make games for the wii simply for that reason. Nintendo has also moved it over to being a casual system that doesn't make you play it for hours and hours on end. This also doesn't affect Nintendo's sales because the DS is destroying everything else. Also, almost every game that comes out these days are either RPGs, or OMGSHOOTER! Which, shooters are sold more because you go online to shoot each other all day and night long. You don't do that with RPGs, unless it's WoW. I own both a Wii and a 360 and have played them both quite a bit. For someone to keep playing a system, you need either a legitimately good game all on it's own (hard to find these days, which is why the past is great) or...friends. Seriously, friends make the game. You go online and shoot other PEOPLE who actually talk to you back. The Wii is all about family, which isn't very broad compared to uh.. 300 million people, and sometimes I don't like to have to shake the wii-mote every time I want something to happen. There are days when I want to just sit down with a generic controller and press some buttons. The Wii makes you interact with the game. The 360 makes you interact with the people. So that's really where the preference lies, whether you like fantasy or reality more. Of course, there are obvious exceptions, but that's the basic formula that I've come up with.
tl;dr The Wii makes you interact with the game. The 360 makes you interact with the people. So that's really where the preference lies.
