i own pretty much every console this gen and tons from previous gens. i really dont give about the brand as much as i do about the games and services the consoles offer. right now i get the most out of my 360, still play wii and ps3 though. id be more of a pc gamer but my laptop sucks :(
I'm a gamer who plays good games, no real allegiances besides maybe to LoL.
However, once I leave for the military in February I don't think I'll have all the free time in the world like I do right now, chilling at my parents home, so I'll most likely just stick with PC/DS due to perceived time constraints. If a next gen console looks impressive enough I may jump ship and I'm still working on a huge DS backlog before I trade it in for a 3DS.

You know that's a much more understandable reason than saying you aren't nerdy enough to game on PC, figuring you post on video game forums on the weekend :P
@Wanderlei_Rua tell me about it. I'm in the military, and get sh*t for it from the young ones. But I out run em! All in fun. I like having this long history in gaming. I seem to appreciate games, not graphics, story telling more, now. With what games looked like back in the day, the games that some here call bad graphically can be easily enjoyable imo. Its just not as important to me i guess.

I'm super stingy when it comes to spending. But I go all out on technology and clothes lmfao. Once I graduate from basic training next spring I think I'm going to put some money into building a supercomp. Realistically I shouldn't need to spend over $800 since I already have a monitor, keyboard, headphones, OS, etc but I see the $1500 comps and it's just like GOTTA HAVE THE BEST.
And then I would play games that won't even use it :P
I was a cow when I was a know-it-all adolescent who thought playing "kiddie" games was "below" me and I felt the need to fit in. But that was so many years ago...

Army, active duty. My AIT is 34 weeks though so I'll be in training after basic till 2013 :P And yeah my recruiter said once you get done with training it basically turns into a regular job, so you get your nights and weekends to do whatever like everyone else. I just don't want to go buy a bunch of gaming stuff and not be able to take it with me if I get deployed or something :P
Until recently I was 100% ninty, but I am now 50-50 with Sony and Nintendo, though I always will love Nintendo a little bit more, but really who care their all great systems I just have my preferences. 51%-Ninty, 49%-Sony.
No I am not, because that's just stupid lol. I do have my prefrences mind you and I like Playstation and the Sony brand more because I grew up with it and it's more suited to my tastes, but I do own a Wii and an Xbox 360 (it's broke though :( ) and I have fun with games on them. But I don't buy as many games for them as I do my PS3 because I just don't enjoy them as much as I do with PS3, but if it's a good game I'll enjoy it regardless of the platform it's on.
Really if you try and limit yourself to just one system or platform than your kinda missing out a bit don't ya think?
My allegience goes to Sony I've started with a PSone and have gone to the PS2 and Now i'm at my second PS3. I like that the PSN allows you to play for free and I like their exclusives. I like PC ttoo but I play only a few games on those.
[QUOTE="cainetao11"][QUOTE="Wanderlei_Rua"]I've been an exclusively Sony gamer for the past 3 generations now. I'm older than most System Warriors (33) and have hobbies outside of gaming (alpine skiing during winter, golf during spring - fall), so I don't put all of my hobby eggs into the gaming basket. I've been console gaming since the mid 80s (2600, NES, Genesis, N64/PS1, PS2, PS3 / Wii, respectively), but won't commit the money to owning every system each gen. Golf, skiing, and the stock market are all too money intensive to throw money at gaming. Frankly, I chose PS3 this gen because of the Sony franchises I've been playing the last 3 generations (GT, MGS, R&C, Twisted Metal, GOW), I wanted a high-def movie player, I'm not into FPS, and I don't play online. Heck, I got my PS3 in February '07 and finally signed up for PSN about 3 months ago. I do a very small amount of PC gaming, but that's pretty much limited to the Civ series. nice to see another grey beard here. I am 39, been gaming along time as well on the master, genesis, Saturn, PS, ps2, Xbox, 360, ps3, a short time with a Wii, and a little PC.
I own a 360, ps3, 3ds, psp. I use my 360 most. My ps3 is mostly for the great exclusives like god of war, kz, uncharted, infamous, etc. 360 for my halo, gears, fable, AW, ninja gaiden fix, as well as multiplats. I lean toward lem, but at the cost of missing games? No way. The playstation brand and games are too good to miss.cainetao11
I completely agree with your opinion, own them all and enjoy my 360 the most as well, but I am not getting rid of my PS3 or Wii. I feel sorry for anyone that is loyal to 1 company or hates a company. And it is nice to see older gamers on here, I am 37.
I'm a fan of games, don't care about the system. I used to have all consoles, but sold 360 do to a total lack of any games coming out that I care about.
I am a PC gamer and the only thing I am a fan of are the games. Which is why I got a PS3. The Wii and 360 combined only have 7 games that interest me AND can't be found on other systems. The PS3 has a lot of exclusives that I want. So it was my only option for a console.
I used to be a pure Nintendo fan, then I saw the light :P. I am a fan of games lol. I buy whatever has the games I want to play. In my case its evrything but Xbox :P.
