Ante Up
PS3 is the only must-own out of the three for me.
I bought an X360, but I haven't felt the need to open it yet.

Not a chance. I'm definitely picking up a 360 in the next month and there is no way I would ever go without the PS3. The Revolution is an unknown quantity but I have a feeling Nintendo are going to deliver something great so I plan on getting that too.
Three console future thx

yeah I'll just go with a nintendo this time, possibly a PS3 if the price was ever to become reasonable.
I've never needed more than one console (for each generation, and I mean home consoles only) and it's always been Nintendo's console. There's the best games for my tastes, actually pretty much the only games for my tastes. "Realistic" racing games, "realistic" fighting games, first person shooters and such aren't really my cup of tea, and those are basically the only genres Nintendo's consoles haven't had that much.
Next generation is pretty much the same. Revolution is all I need as I know there's going to be those Nintendo's games I like and some 3rd party games which might be interesting. Also I've somewhat lost my interest in the old-fashioned gameplay, and Revolution should fix that as well (Nintendo DS already did that on the handheld side).

PS3 = Yup.
Rev = Definitely, but I could be swayed after E3.
X360 = Nope, but I could be swayed after E3/Halo 3 launches.

PlayStation 3 is the only definite. Although I will say that I refuse to spend more than $300 on the machine so that might mean waiting a year, possibly more.
For Revolution, it all depends on the games. I don't care about "teh innovative", I care about fun games. If the Nintendo games on Revolution are like the ones on Game Cube, I'll probably pass it up entirely. Virtual Console is pretty important to me too so I hope prices are kept low. The most I'll pay for this system is $200.
Xbox 360 is probably the one I'll least likely buy. The only thing that will make it interesting is the emulation scene. Playing MAME and all that in 3.2 GHz should kick ass. The rest of the games, as looking them up online, doesn't really interest me outside of Ninety Nine Nights, Ridge Racer 6, and a couple others. If Banjo Kazooie 3 gets released on it, I'll get the system. The most I'll pay for it is probably $150.
So for right now, I'm only definite on one machine but it could end up being all three.

No way. I'll have a PS3 to go along with my Xbox 360. No Nintendo for me though.

I go one console at launch and get the others if I deem it necessary when their price drops. This gen it was PS2 at 299.99, GCN at 149.99, and Xbox for free from Mountain Dew.
Next gen I'm probably going to get Rev first, unless PS3 is at 300 or less, in which case I might get that first.

I will probably get a Rev at launch then wait for 360 and PS3 to drop in price.
PS3 = Definite
I think it's a pretty big lock that the PS3 will at the very least get as much support as the PS2, if not more, especially from Japanese devs. The 360 is doing even worse than I expected there, and I think it will prove too much of a risk financially to put any major franchises on the Rev exclusively; thus I think the PS3 will be the safest, most financially sound choice, which equals great TP support. Plus MGS4, GT5 and FFXIII have already cemented my purchase.
Rev = Greatly dependant on E3 showing
I've gone from likely no to probably yes back to 50/50 either way. Nintendo's E3 showing is going to be a big factor for me, because I want to see where Nintendo wants to take this machine. I'm extremely skeptical about how well the controller will perform with some of my favorite genres sans gimmicks, and the 'FU technology' ideology from Nintendo with the machine is very disappointing. Yet, I've owned every single Nintendo system, and I may not be able to resist a new Mario and Zelda...
360 = Ask me again next year
I thought for sure I'd pass on this system, after both my regret with purchasing the first Xbox, and my subpar impressions with my neighbor's 360 and a few of it's launch titles. But N3 is looking real nice, and I'm intrigued to see what else MS can muster at E3 this year. However, I often get caught up in the pre-release anticipation of games, so when the games this year have come and gone, I'll have a much better idea if I actually want to plunk down the dough.

I once thought of it. I have them all this time around (save the DS, including the DC) - and I'm unable to finish many games because newer games take over older games in my backlog. So I had decided to go single console next-gen.
But I've thought about it and changed my mind. I won't buy all of them for sure (I have realized it is just too much) - but I will seriously consider two consoles... or maybe three if I can get the third for cheap when the other two are dry.
I'm so weak. I almost know I'll end up with all of them.

Next gen: yes
Console: no
Bought the 360 on launch day - haven't regretted it at all
Revolution - I'll probably buy but only if the software support is good. I also expect Nintendo to make SOME effort next gen wrt 5.1 audio in games and widescreen support as standard. It'll probably be a US import when I get one though
PS3 - Probably but not for a while. I may import a US machine because I hate SCEE so much.

My most likely scenario is PS3 as my main console, and the Revolution as a secondary.
that's pretty hmm stupid, so if PS3 doesn't have a great online service you will skip it? I'm sure the PS3 will have a LOT of great games that will no require online play but hey that's your decision not mine.fly high ~ayunite~ said:
anyway to be on-topic. PS3+Revolution for me. I had all three this gen and while it was good I simply do not have the money for 3 systems now.

I find it strange how some people say they'll be getting a 360 and PS3, but "definitely not" the Revolution. Everyone has their own opinions, but I imagine the 360 and PS3 will share a lot games and features whereas the Revolution will most likely be something completely different and full of exclusives. That's why it's hard for me to decide between the PS3 and Revolution. It'd be nice if we knew more about either system.

Nope. I'll get a PS3 at launch for sure, maybe a Rev at launch depending on launch games and price, and a 360 in 2007 when Blue Dragon, Lost Oddyssy, and Halo 3 come out.

Unless you can't survive a generation without Nintendo games, the Xbox 360 is the better choice.
1) Better graphics.
2) More support.
3) Much better online.
And like this generation, I suspect that there will be more Xbox 360 games that you can't get on the PS3/Rev than Revolution games you can't get on the PS3/360.
The Xbox 360 is not a redundant machine, though I completely understand not being able to afford both an Xbox 360 and a PS3. (I'm one of those people, since I won the 360)

I will get a revolution at launch. The rest, I dunno when. I will end up with all three I'm sure of it though.

My decision will have nothing to do with the cost of any system. I only really have time to devote to one.
I'll be a poor university student next year so its a 2 console future for me.
Rev is a given. I am yet to decide whether I am complementing it with a PS3 or a 360, I'll make that call after e3. I am leaning towards a 360 at the moment though. Kaz better show me more than Powerpoint slides at e3.

i think it depends on money lol. Things like this always have something to do with money, this entertainment is HELLA expensive! one of the most expensive Entertainment to enjoy
I'll definately get the Revolution by the end of this year since I'm a Nintendo fan and it will be the cheapest. I'll wait until at least one pricedrop before I got the 360 and PS3. So I guess the answer is no. I'll start as single console owner, but as always I'll eventually have them all.

I'll probably get just the revolution.
I survived with just a gamecube this generation, except for a 5 month stint where I owned a PS2.
I survived with just a gamecube this generation, except for a 5 month stint where I owned a PS2.
I've always just gamed on one console. Atari 2600 - NES - Genesis - SNES - N64-Dreamcast-Xbox/GC. This gen I tried owning 2 consoles and IMO, it just wasn't worth it. Inevitably one console got most of the playing time and the other collected dust.
I've already got a backlog of 360 games thanks to achievements and XBLA, so I know that the 360 can totally take all my gaming time if I let it. That being said, I'm very interested in the Revolution and if the PS3 is clearly more impressive than 360 then I'll get it.
So just 360 unless something very compelling happens in the other two camps.

Buying all three, but I am curious as to whether the PS3 will be region free, specifically since the Australian division of SCE is campaigning for it quite heavily (so they can win any cases against modchippers, since the High Court ruled that modding for getting around region protection is perfectly legal). If it doesn't end up that way, I'll probably import one.
Games are different - I'll tighten up on those.

I feel kinda burned this gen for having had all 4 systems. DC/GC were great, PS2 was a step down from PS goodness and Xbox plain stank for me. Plus handhelds really came into their own for me...my GBC collection is tiny compared to GBA/DS. So right now I'm thinking PS3 only right now. Revolution sounds dumb so far and X360 will probably be as weak as the first for me. PS3 one console future? Drinky wins!
