Anyone who cares that much about FPS doesn't used a pad full-stop if you ask me ^_^, but then the wii sounds an interesting alternative I suppose. Not that I can imagine the Wii with any more than a handful of particuarly exciting FPS games (I'd be surprised to see Valve, ID, Epic or Bungie developing anything for it, in fact Valve and Epic are already developing for both the 360 and PS3 and shunning the Wii). I also can't imagine, whilst the controller undoubtably is more intuitive due to simply pointing at what you want dead, that it necessarily makes FPS games easier. Hell if it does Wii will be banned when the next crazy person strolls into an american school with a gun.

I think one thing to keep in mind is that what went last generation isn't applicable here though. The X-Box became a machine filled with marginally different PS2 ports not because it was a worse machine than the PS2, but a machine with a smaller user base. Sony doesn't have that advantage anymore, and the 360 user-base isn't to be scoffed at. If the PS3 hasn't sold impressive enough numbers this time next year (and lets face it, the 360 is going to be unchallanged for ANOTHER christmas rush in Europe and in shortage everywhere else) developers are going to be putting their resources into Xbox 360 development and not investing in PS3 ports. They need to make money after all.

Then we'll talk about which system has the best games. After all, though I am also personally uninspired by the 360's lineup, the PS3 is hardly standing at the foot of my tower and wooing me into letting down my hair. They both need to lose weight and mature a little, and I guess I need to work on growing my hair out. What were we talking about again?
