I am trying to see where I can jump into this conversation..well, guess I will do it here.
Anyway, the topic is all about whether the Wii is considered a 1st or 2nd console..and that answer.."it depends"
For me I have all three consoles..as it relates to which order..this is due to availability at the time of purchase..
1. Xbox 360
2. Wii
3. PS3 (blu-ray)...
It is extremely difficult to draw a logical conclusion that Wii is now the main (1st) console for the mass.. The answer would be mainly due to the gamers' demographics.
In my home, the Wii is the main console for the family...Wii + WiiFIT...The PS3 is the main console for movies..and finally the Xbox is all about the games....oh, I got my order all mixed up now..anyway later
I dont believe we can leave this discussion without looking back into history...Once upon a time there was the great Nintendo NES...then came PS1 and PS2..did Sony took some of Nintendo's customers away? Sure they did! However, I still believe in those days and even to this day people purchase the console for fun! So if fun for one is games (you know what you are getting)..and another it might be just sitting back with the friends to watch some HD movie with (on) the Blu-ray player.
Now if you are a lite, medium or heavy gamer you know which console will be on your radar...Like the browser war (got to put that marketing piece in)...so too you have the console war..Some just do things much better than the other.
Be what's next!

Are you serious owen? I am trying my best to detect some form of sarcasm in your reply but I am actually getting none so I am left to believe that you are actually serious.
The PS3 is my console of choice because I purchased it first?
Maybe I just went to the store and liked the black color, maybe I just bought it for Blu-Ray. Maybe I was just falla fashin and wanted to have what my friends had. Maybe I felt the XBOX was too cheap and wanted to profile with the PS3.
There are countless reasons why I could have purchased the PS3 first, that certainly does that make it my console of choice.
I am only going to speak for me here. I was a die hearted Sony man which is why I purchased the PS3 first cause frankly I had no interest in the XBOX 360. Now after purchasing the XBOX SECOND, I have not played the PS3 since (except for watching movies) so tell me how does the fact that I purchased the PS3 before the XBOX make the PS3 my console of choice?
How often I play a console to me is what dictates what is my preference and the fact that whenever I feel like playing a game I take up the XBOX 360 FIRST makes it my first console and the fact that I choose the play the PS3 when I am bored with the XBOX makes it my second console.
Preference has nothing to do with chronological order acquired.

Boy I don't know why it always come down to some kinda fanboi argument. DO I HAVE TO DRAW UP A FLOW CHART? but anyway. Its in the sales numbers.
Look at it this way. You have 3 different cakes, knives, cars (relatively closely priced, lol). In people's mind the first one they choose is best one for them ( in your case ps3 ). The thing they buy second would be their SECOND choice. Now your choice may have changed over time (but thats not the point). The point is the Wii is selling because the majority of people and in THIER MINDS think Wii is the best cake. ps2 was the first choice last generation.
Whether dem are noobs, casual gamers, hardcore, liked the black color, the Blu-Ray, falla fashin or wanted to have what my friends had doesn't matter as much as WHAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY BUYING. Nintendo has somehow convinced the masses that the Wii is the first console to have. Its in the sales numbers. If you realised that the ps3 DID NOT LIVE UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS then thats a whole other topic but it could have, it just didn't. I arguing numbers not bs opinions which is why poll would be useless on such a small forum.
You have to admit, the Wii is leading in sales (in some places 4:1) which means that it is the first console people buy and therefore it is not THE SECOND CHOICE CONSOLE FOR MAJORITY OF NEW BUYERS.

I see your point but still consider it lacking.
I could have gone to the store to purchase a Wii or an XBOX 360 but they were out of stock and during that split second decided to just get the PS3. Does that make it my first choice since I 'settled' for it?
Also the Wii has been relatively hard to come by, what if my preference was to get a Wii but due to my frustrations of not being able to pick up one in the stores decided for another console. Wouldn't you consider the Wii my first choice that I wasn't able to acquire?
My point here is you can't simply use numbers alone, there are several factors which could have contributed to the millions of console owners choosing one over the other which doesn't equate to that console being the first choice.
fi real dem numbers dere cant tell u what people pick up first. nuff goin have a wii alone, but wen u look on that the 360 had a year headstart nuff more coulda done pick that up first while waiting for the others to come out nex year. You really and truly do need polls to sort out this matter, 1 for fact(which one dem buy first) and 1 for personal opinion(which them prefer). Raw sales figures really do not answer those for u
sales figures can ofcourse tell the number one console... start a poll fi what when all a noob know how to write is ps3 ftw!!! and dont know a thing..wii was my first choice but it was out of stock..it is clear clear that ps3 is last resort....it had alot of time since release

Correction pezz, based on the arguments laid out the Wii was your second choice since you purchased it second.
I also agree that a poll won't sort this out, especially a poll conducted on Techja where the masses aren't being represented but saying that the Wii is not a second console is not an argument I think that can be made.
