I am pretty pleased, and think I'm going very well getting all the greatness out of this gen :)

My first console was wii (notice topic: this gen :lol: ). I played it less than 1 year, then sold it due to lack of games that did interest me. Anyway I got my motion control and casual gaming fix for this gen.

With that money I bought 360. I have had my 360 about 2 years. Getting my core games fix.

And now year ago I bought ps3. Getting all those amazing exclusives like mgs4 and uncharted series.

Now after E3. Microsoft went casual with kinect. Sony still balancing between core and casual. Nintendo switched to core. Plus most of games developers are becoming multiplat like bungie (except sony's and nintendo's first party studios ofcourse).

I can happily sell my 360 (ofcourse I'm gonna play halo reach first and what not), and buy wii again :D

Also I owned DS lite, which I sold (I still got to enjoy alot great games like hotel dusk). And I started to regret solding it, but not anymore since they announced 3DS.

Are you happy "hardware" wise?

I will never be disappointed in the PC.

So long as it remains lightyears ahead of the consoles in terms of 3rd party support.

Well, when I was building my computer, I wish I had spent a bit more for a nicer motherboard. I regret selling my DS. I wish I had a PS3 was well, but I'm happy with my PC and 360.

I bought one of everything. I've lost almost all interest in the 360, the PC has consistently failed to impress me (despite the amount of hardware I threw into it), the Wii has never really done anything for me, and the system I've spent the most time bashing (PS3) actually turned out to be my favorite this gen.

PS3: Great system, better exclusives than 360, I get to play all the great multiplats.

Wii: Best exclusives, great niche games, best arcade.

DS: Best overall library of games.

360: Sold it, might buy another one if a few more games interest me in the future.

Yep, I'm quite happy with my current hardware choices. :)

I absolutely love my 360, so yes I'm happy i picked it. I had a PSP but sold it because it got barely any playing time and there weren't any games on the horizon that interested me. After selling the PSP, I bought a DS and played the heck out of it. I haven't bought as many games for it as my 360 but that's mostly because it's more of secondary platform for me.

I'm happy with my choices. I've stuck with sony for most of my life, and I figured there was no reason to stop now. For handhelds though, nintendo wins!

I spent most, hell, practically all my time on PC so if I could get back all the money I spent on console gaming; I'd do it in a heartbeat.

This is the second generation of hardware where I've gone with the "all of the above" approach to my loadout. I'm very happy and wouldn't have it any other way.

The 360 tainted my choices. I was rolling on a good streak of good hardware too.

I did PC and Wii out of the gate, then added PS3 a few months back and just got a 360 today. I've got all my bases covered and don't regret any of it.

Considering a own a gaming PC, a 360, and a PS3, I'm pretty content. Did miss some of the interesting DS titles though, but will fix that with the 3DS.

I wish I hadn't purchased a second HD console. One is enough for me and the second one basically gathers dust. The last time I played a game on it was early March and the next game I play to buy for it doesn't come out until like October.

Yes. Playing Killzone 2, both Ninja Gaiden Sigmas, and Demon's Souls (I LOOOOVE Demon's Souls!!) has totally made the PS3 worth it! :)
