That's really only something you and the family unit can answer. There are certainly great experiences to be had on the 360, especially if online gaming is desirable to you. I would love to get a Wii, but personally I've never been an early adopter of consoles because I think it's totally worth waiting it out until the system and games mature. I doubt it'll be the case, but what if you pick up a Wii and all you end up with are the same gimmicks and mini games time and time again?
You also mention 480p vs. 1080p as a factor. I'm going to assume that you have a TV capable of handling the HD output, otherwise toss that concern to the curb. However, it's worth noting that for the foreseeable future, most games wont be able to push 1080p or 1080i natively anyway and many developers feel that 720p is the sweet spot. Again, right now. It's worth mentioning that in order to get true HiDef you'll need to fork out anotehr $200 for the HD-DVD addon.
I mentioned the online component of the 360 as being a selling point, and it's only going to get more robust, but the marketplace is also another sink hole of money if you let it. Remember that the 20gb hard drive will fill up faster than you might think. Just something to consider.
So to the matter at hand. If I were to go out and pick up one of the two today, I would probably get a Wii because my girlie likes to game, but WITH me. The more hardcore 360 stuff would just put her off. So which is more important to you?
