My roommate has a 360 and, so far as I know, hasn't had a problem with it yet. He's had it since May. It's fairly cool because of all of its media-browsing capabilities and I would own one myself, eventually, but XBOX (original or 360) has never put out enough games for me to warrant it. I bought my original XBOX years ago and never collected more than 5 games for it.

My PS2 is going strong and my next console purchase will definitely be a PS3 (or another PS2 if this one happens to die). It is just too expensive and too new right now and there are not enough games for it just yet that take advantage of its next-gen capabilities.

The Wii, like all Nintendo consoles, is best for groups of people and for kids. I will buy one when I have a few little ones running around but until then, no thanks. I run into the same problem here as I do with xbox: no games for ME. That doesn't make either a bad console (I know a ton of people who love their Wii) but all of its bells and whistles don't do me a lot of good.
