If you don't care about online play and are looking for great exclusives, well then you've basically named the PS3.

 360 is cool if you don't mind returning it every 12 to 16 months .

@Ninjakid7396: You got any other game series you're interested in, any other preferences?  How many titles do you buy per year and do you have a PC for gaming?

@ZeForgotten: you serious? what the hell was i playing the entire time? i was messaging a bot called ZeForgotten the entire time? DAMN YOU MODERN TECHNOLOGY!  
 
i'd say go with any console that has the most games you're interested in. that's why i'm about to have a 360 because it has a lot of games that i like.

I say if he cares about online play AND exclusives, get a PS3. The 360 sucks for online (it doesn't even get Wi-Fi) and all it's big exclusives are on PC.
 
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend getting another console unless you have exhausted the Wii's game supply. Make sure to do that, otherwise you will be jumbling two consoles and only getting few games for each.

yeah, maybe in the ps3 you got the most single player oriented exclusives (demon's soul, infamous, uncharted 2, ratchet& clank,Valkyrie chronicles, etc) and  as a bonus in the ps3, if you one day wake up  wanting to  try an  on-line co op match or something else  well BUM its free :)

Well, from past experience i think that PS3 has better games put together overall, but that's just my opinion. 
As far as online play is concered i would also be in favor of the PS3.

Hmmm, right now I'd suggest PS3 a bit over 360 based on those choices, but it's really going to come down to specific game choices in the end.  Really both are great choices, so it's a hard decision to make.

The Wii may use handle Friend Codes, but at least I can get the thing online. No excuse this gen.

PS3 for sure. Main draws for the 360 are live and some exclusives.
If you do go for the PS3, Eternal Sonata and Valkyria Chronicles are awesome RPG's.
And despite having no interest in online play, if you did decide you wanted to try it out, the PS3 is wireless enabled and there's no fee to join/use PSN. 
 
(Yes, Borderlands is absolutely worth it, even if you only play single player.)

Geno hates candles, too...come on, what's wrong with him?!
 
Anyway, it really comes down to the types of games you are interested in.  Xbox is still likely your best place for Mass Effect 2 and Valve games.  Plus their version of Bayonetta is supposed to be better looking.  I'm not sure what is real and what is just made-up crap, but that's what some folks are saying.  MMO DC Universe is eventually coming to PS3 as is the MMO Final Fantasy XIV, but of course, you don't care about online.  Well, Final Fantasy XIII will be on both systems as will the next Metal Gear game.  Are you looking for something like InFamous, then go PS3, but if Crackdown is more your taste, then the 360 is the better option.  What type of adventure game do you find more appealing?  Heavy Rain (PS3) or Alan Wake (360)?  The point I am making is do some research into each console and see what exclusives that interest you.  That's the way to go then.  Also, ask yourself if blu-ray means anything to you.  In the end, you have to be the one who is comfortable with the system.  I love my PS3 and have a love/baby-please-be-good-to-me relationship with my 360 (launch model...very iffy).  You need to decide because if we tell you and your disappointed, well...who wants that?

Understandable, I don't even have wifi in my house for security issues so I felt similarly when I had to buy an ethernet adapter for my Wii.  It's not a deal breaker for me though.

There are ways to make Wi-Fi safe, safer than a normal wired connection, but I understand your point. I guess the best way to do it is the PS3, supporting both wired and Wi-Fi, against the Wii, which is only Wi-Fi, and the 360, only wired.

I think we're at a point now where it doesn't really matter which one you choose. Both will give you an equally enjoyable experience. Both have practically the same game lineup (bar a few first party exclusives). But as far as what you get for what you pay... I guess the PS3 wins that battle.

you can get it online 1/10 of the time even when the router is on top of it and plugged in then you got a 50/50 chance of getting a lag free game

PS3 has some awesome exclusives and is a relitvely reliable system
360 has superb online (provided that you are paying them) and alot of great games will hit end up on the 360 first
wii is great for when you bring friends over to play with a couple good single player games as well
 
seriously though you sound like you would love the PC  and should  consider getting a good computer for it
