The Wii is better suited for youger players. Not that adults can't have a blast with it as well, just that the PS3 doesn't have many good games for pre-teens.

2. Do you have an HD TV?

I have a Wii, and when I upgraded to a hi-def TV, the graphics were so bad that I quit playing it for the most part. The HD TV really accentuates the not-so-great graphics of the Wii. I bought a PS3 and have loved it. Plus it's a blu-ray player.

If your using the cables that came with it then it really does kinda suck. We upgraded them with component cables we got from monoprice.com that drastically improved the vid quality, now it isn't so bad.

We have both consoles and like them for what they are. I prefer the PS3 simply because it is more or less a computer. I stream internet content from a program called Tversity. It also allows me to view whatever I have stored on my computer to the PS3. Gran Toursimo,Fallout3,sport games are fargin awesome on the PS3.

We really like the family oriented games on the Wii and play it together a lot. The game controllers are more fun to use. Not very good for the usual console games. I have Far Cry and a couple racing games but their not great on the Wii.
