Correct me if I'm wrong but won't the PS3 have wireless controllers (I guess not all of them but I figure they would have some considering the Bluetooth)? The Wii will certainly have wireless control, that's the whole concept! I think what really makes the PS3 stand out in my mind is seeing some of the screenshots from E3. The graphics are really amazing. They're so lifelike, I can't get over it. Add to that the Blu-Ray storage capabilities and you're gonna get some really ridiculous games. I don't know if the XBox will be able to match what we're going to see with PS3, especially considering the huge selection of games for both Playstation and PS2 in the past.
