Playstation 3 and Revolution---whichever has the first decent RPG, I'll buy first.

I can't see myself getting Xenon, mainly because I think my modded xbox will be good for the next 10 years.
Revolution probably, and maybe the DS

A) Playstation 3: It sucks that I am selling my PS2 collection because I could see myself playing those old games again on the PS3. Unlike PSX games, the majority of PS2 games I own still hold up graphically and will continue to look good down the line. Whatever game I have deemed to have good textures, good animation, and good use of polygons will still hold those qualities down the line. PS3 will have the games I will most want to play. This is my most anticipated next-gen console.
B) Xenon: Halo! To elaborate. I love playing Halo with my friends so I will buy whatever console for that multiplayer experience. I won't purchase it until the latest Halo is released.
C) Revolution: For some reason I am expecting big things from this console. I'm taking a wait and see approach on the Revolution. I'll probably end up buying it but not at launch.
And no portable gaming for me.

Well, definitely B, and probably A as well, but I won't be buying them upon release. I'll wait for the first 8 months to a year to pass, so I'll actually have some quality games to play when I buy the systems.

Revolution will kick ass! Why? I don't know, but as Hot Rod said in Transformers:The Movie, "I just have this feeling."

I'm going to be getting a Xenon for sure, and maybe a PS3. I really got screwed by sony's horribly made hardware, my ps2 was the first system I ever had that broke down on me.
On another note whats the deal with the Revolution? How the hell could anyone want that crap knowing that it'll be something like the DS (a gimmick)? If I really wanted to spend money on a Next-gen Nintendo console I'd probably wait until the true succesor to the Gamecube was introduced.

Depends on the games, but seeing as I like Nintendo, the most obvious options right now would be the Revolution and maybe DS and GBA2. Like the franchises on Sony's Playstation 2, and hope that the PS3 can deliver the same, so I'll probably choose that as well.
As far as Xenon goes... it'd have to have a KICK ASS Perfect Dark 0 at launch for me to buy it right away.
I also look forward to this thread being done 1,000 times more in the next two years.

What Nintendo meant when they said the Revolution wouldn't be a GC2 is that it won't be a repeat performance of the GC, that it will be something completely different than the GC.
Basically, it'd be like saying, "Dolphin is not the true successor to the N64. It will not play carts and it will not have less than 200 games."
As long as Nintendo is making systems, I'll buy them for their games. That simple. The other two systems I'll buy whenever there is a game I want for them that I simply cant miss and then go from there. I might buy a DS although I may just hold off till GBA2. Not planning on getting a PSP.

It all depends on free time and money at launch, but I will definitely get the Revolution for the Nintendo games and the PS3 for RPGs, especially Square games.
I want a DS and a PSP, but I love the 2D world of the GBA, so I really wish neither were coming up. The games will tell when I buy them. If the new Super Mario Bros is what I hoped for and comes out at launch, I will probably get a DS then. I will get the PSP when good RPGs come out for it.
I skipped XBox initially for a hatred of Microsoft, and I do not have time to play all the games I curretly have, so I have no need for an XBox now. Xenon is bound to be the same, although I might have bought it if it were backwards compatible to play Fable, KOTOR, and Jade Empire.

Probably Revolution for shizzle nizzle, at launch, and possibly Xenon too. Though I doubt I'd be buying two consoles and games on launch day. The Xenon might have to wait a few weeks.

H. new Sega system 
Alright, just kidding, that's stretching it a bit. Actually, I'll probably wait until a killer title comes out that I absolutely can not live without. More than likely though I'm gonna stick with my Gameboy Advance. It's not that I haven't gotten some enjoyment out of my Gamecube and X-Box, its that no system this generation has really lived up to my inflated expectations. It has more to do with my personal tastes than anything Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft has or hasn't done.

I can only say that I'll be getting a DS for sure. PlayStation 3 is incredibly likely, since I'll want a new home console as well.
What is this about a "GBA2?" I was under the assumption that GBA would eventually give way to DS, and that Nintendo would only be supporting GBA while the DS userbase grows.

A & B at launch probably. Well, unless the lineups are really poor.
Yeah, i'll be ripped off.
But when you start seeing those consoles displayed in every shop it inevitably spoils the surprise and the amazement when you turn it on for the first time...well, the graphic whore in me is willing to pay that extra money for that moment.
It's not the wisest thing but...oh well.
I'll end up buying all consoles, but i don't see myself buying more than one handheld...
