I would definitely go with the Wii, too! We have one and our 5 yr old loves to earn it, she plays golf, bowling, MarioKart and super mario galaxy. There are so many games and believe me mom and dad will be playing too! Its really nice because its so active, there are some games that aren't but most are and its a whole new experience. Otherwise, I don't know much about the xbox, but if you got the playstation 3 you would still be able to play all the games from 1 & 2 on the 3 also! I really think though that the Wii (there is much more availability now) would be a much more fun change for your family. The system comes with one game, you can choose between the Wii Play and Wii sports, the Wii sports has, boxing, tennis, bowling, golf and baseball. Then the Wii play has table tennis, pool, racing, fishing, matching, and some others. They are both good. Oh my daughter really likes the one called Playground, the characters are kids adn you can you play school yard games, its a fun one. I would also suggest getting the charging dock for the controllers otherwise you are going through batteries. Good luck Jennifer
