Perhaps it's just me but despite the fact that the Wii seems interesting enough, it lacks that next-generation feel that the XBox 360 delivers and the PS3 promises. Just like with the PSP Vs. DS scenario - Sony offered much more than a gaming system at a higher price than the DS (and although they didn't succeed in crushing the IPod) they sold a sizable amount of units in and out of their usual demographic (despite the PSPs limited battery life, lack of several original/launch titles) - while with the DS, Nintendo offered little more than portability to those who weren't already gamers.
And although success doesn't equate to a good gaming system, your choice should be pretty easy once you take into account the fact that with the PS3s price tag of $499/$599 you're getting a really good discount on a next generation gaming system and a next generation DVD player (at their original release Blu-Ray DVD players were going for about $999) - while the Wii won't even be capable of playing standard DVDs.
It just seems pretty obvious which one would be the better investment.
