Well, I did get an Xbox for Christmas. I have since completed the first Assassin's Creed on it and play Skylanders on it (yes, I have at least one figure from each element, but I only bought them in stores for the retail; none of that scalping nonsense). I have since also completed Dead Space Extraction on the Wii, and I'm presently playing Zelda: Skyward Sword (27 hours in, I'm getting close to the end...I think). Having experienced the Xbox, has my previous opinion changed?
Not at all. They are both commendable systems that play different games in different ways. Zelda with the Xbox controls would be like Twilight Princess on the Gamecube. Sure, it'd have impressive visuals, but it would not be as interactive as it is on the Wii. It's a rather amazing game in how you play it. The Wii Remote controls the sword one to one, and you have to make some big swings to get the desired results; a flick of the wrist doesn't do it.
With the Xbox, I've decided to do some low level aerobics while playing since it involves sitting there with a controller, playing old-school style. Now, we do have the Kinect, and I have to move furniture to play that one, but for the majority of the nearly 2 dozen games I have (it's been out awhile and many of the classics are really cheap), I'll be physically idle with only my fingers getting a workout.
However, I will say I like both systems. The Xbox has some great games that I'm really looking forward to, and the graphics are amazing on my 1080p HDTV. The Wii remains the king of motion control and no fun is lost between them.
