If I couldn't afford, sure. I mean with one system, you are still connected to gaming.

People spend money on other stupid things like cell phone games and ringtones, I just like to spend my money whenever available on my entertainment experience, so yes I buy all the consoles.

I was like that last gen with my PS2, but the generations before that I had pretty much every console released for that generation (Sega Gensis, Super Nintendo..... then Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, and Playstation 1). I will most likely own just one console this generation though I'm still not sure which one to choose from. All the consoles have their negatives and positives, so I'm just weeding through them.

It's usually not worth it for me to buy more than one, I don't have the time. I wouldn't even post here if I wasn't always doing school work or playing guitar. I might get a second system this gen, I'm not sure yet.

Edit: I have both a SNES and a Genesis though. :P

I usually stick to one and put all my effort and money into that one. Luckily, I've chosen the NES, SNES, ps1,ps2, and 360, so I've been pretty right on each time. I did have a little stint with the dcast, but there was nothing else at the time, so I didn't feel bad about "wasting" that little bit of time with it.

I've been a multi-console owner since the early 1980s.

Now, with Generation 7. I just feel the same way as you. Because of my limited time and getting older, I just don't have time to play all systems. I've been gaming on my Xbox1 alot and my preferred console is the Xbox platform. Therefore the 360 will be my prime console as soon as I get one. I have a GBA Sp and DS, but I only play them once in awhile. And I still play older games on my PC, I just need a serious upgrade though.

Yeah, depending on time and freedom, 1 console is simply more than enough.

I'm broke. Almost every person who plays viudeogames has one videogame system. Buying two systems is really expensive and there's that law of diminishing returns.

I always own every system each gen. Maybe not the entire time... like I got rid of my Gamecube last gen due to boredom. This gen I have all three (sold my DS and PSP though... due to boredom). I have always done it this way... yeah, I guess it's redundant, but I like supporting gaming in general. Games are a different story... games for each system I have played and/or bought: Wii = Super Paper Mario, Zelda TP, Rayman RR, Warioware SM PS3 = Resistance FOM, Motorstorm 360 = **150 games on my games played list, but that includes demos that I may not have bought... so maybe 130?

I'm close to how you are. I'm usually a one console and PC man. My only exception was last gen, I got a PS2 in 2004. This gen I'm unsure of, I may pick up a 360 to accompany my PS3 and PC but I'm not sure.

Last gen, I owned a PS2, GC, and had a good PC graphics card. This gen, I think I'm sticking with my PS3, and I'll be getting a good laptop next year.

It won't happen. I know, inevitably, all three companies are going to get me by 2010. First it will be Microsoft, with Too Human. Then, inevitably, Nintendo is going to release another Pikmin or Animal Crossing, and all the Nintendo fanboys are going to lose it when subrosian is bouncing around the room like an elf on cocaine, gesticulating madly with the Wiimote - well until I start yelling oscenities at that dastardly Tom Nook (I will have my revenge...).

Sony has an off chance to grab me too... those girls (or are they boys?) in Final Fantasy are just too pretty - the rendering work is phenomenal...

But in seriousness, if another Twisted Metal comes out, I will be touting $666 to the store for it and a PS3... I have to blow $%#@ up for my wish, that Calypso will not trick me again!

since I'm mostly a pc gamer 1 system is more than enough. Also since I have gamer friends I can borrow their system, and spend my money on something else.

I'm not. I own all the consoles except for the ps3 currently.

I don't think i could stand only one console. Mainly because there are soo many good games that only come out on 1 particular console and not the others that i want to play.

I usually buy another console towards the end of the gen, because they'll be cheaper. I'll be content with my Wii for the next 3-4 years.

You only had 1 console and it was the GC? How on earth could you resist to the urge of buying a PS2 even when it was so cheap?

You must not be buying your own stuff that's for sure cause you missed out bad.

Same here: I own a PS1 and a Xbox.

When I have the money (and when theystart usingthe smaller more efficient chip) I'll probable go for the 360.

It's not that I don't like the other consoles/games for them, it's because I have bills to pay.

Yeah i got pretty much the same mindset, I have owned SNES, N64, PS2, now a360,However I am seriously, considering picking up a Wii. But, I consider the Wii notreally a console like ps3or360, but more of a party game

I have pretty much only owned one per gen. Buying more then one console is too time consuming and expensive. I have owned NES, SNES, N64 (which i sold for a PS1), and a PS2. This gen im leaning towards a PS3 but as of now $600 is too much. I can pay my mortgage with that much money.

Nope. I had a PS and a N64. Then I had a PS2 and Xbox. Now I have a 360 and a Wii.....wow I just realized something.

(Sony) (Nintendo) / (Sony) (MS)/ (MS) (Nintendo)

I've really been mixing it up..... cool.

I typically do. However I do tend to get a second system years after it is launched. For example I got a SEGA Master system years after I got my SNES, I got a X box long after the PS2. The good thingabout doing that is I can play all the good games (like HALO and KOTOR) and pay 1/2 the amount of money I spent on both the system and the game. This gen I will geta PS3 in a few years and then I can play all the good games coming out over the next year for 1/2 price by getting them used.

I usually get one console at the beginning of a gen and get another at the end. Example: GC-01, PS2-05.
