Of the four, the Wii is geared towards a younger audience more than any other. There is a decent number of games available for the adult audience, such as Call of Duty and Madden NFL 2007, but with the selection of Mario, Pokemon, SpongeBob, Dragon Ball Z gmes, among others, the kids (and parents who are still kids at heart) will have a nearly endless selection of age-appropriate games to choose from. In my opinion, it is the most family-oriented gaming console available.
Hope this helps,
