Is it possible to survive with any one system this gen?

Even if it's not the console of your choice, do you think you could survive with the opposite system you have now. Of course, those with all systems or more than one probably wouldn't, but what if you had a 360 instead of a PS3, or a PS3 instead of a 360, or a Wii instead of either? Do you think you could get by.

I think I could. Even without PS3's great games, there are a few great games that I would like such as Gears 1 and 2, Mass Effect, L4D, Halo 3, and tons of multiplats. The multiplats are a huge variety of genres, and the biggest percentage of games this gen, so you're good with either a PS3 or 360 basically. The Wii may be different, but it has tons of party titles that could be a blast, and you get a different type of playing games than how you did on your XBox, PS2, or GC. As with PC, you get most multiplat's that PS3 and 360 get, so it's just as doable.

What do you think? Single console owners, do you think you could you survive with just the opposite of the system you own right now?

It's possible only with the PC.

i only have the 360. im still surviving and i didnt even play a lot of the old 360 games yet.

multiplats n exclusives are good

I could survive with any single system this gen, even a Wii. My tastes are broad enough, so I'd find a lot on any system. Gladly, I don't have to and I own them all. Sadly, my tastes are still super broad, thus there are so many games I buy.

Unless someone spends maybe 1-2 hours a week gaming and buys 4-5 games a year, there is no way any "gamer" could survive with one console, from any generation. I have 5 consoles on the go at any one time... PS2 (for PS2 and PS games), N64, Dreamcast, Wii (for GC games) and my 360. Not to mention handhelds and PC.

Well i got a Wii because I think they ahve the best exclusives and have for a while. Metroid is my favorite series. I have a 360 because all my friends do and it has the best online service, arcade games, controller, and multiplayer exclusives.

It's possible only with the PC.

Im surviving with a ps3 just perfectly. I really have no want or need to get another system. I would like a gaming pc though.

I could survive with none of the current gen systems.

I mean, I have over 70 accumulated games from last gen I have THAT I HAVENT BEATEN OR PLAYED, that can keep me content for a long while.

It's possible only with the PC.

every gen i only buy one console, i don't see what's so different about this gen that would make me buy something else

I could survive with one of these: PC/360/PS3

I'm getting by just fine with only a Wii.

But I'm kind of cheating because I mainly game on handhelds (well, DS), and my housemates have the other consoles so if there's a game I really want to play on 360 or PS3 I can use theirs.

But to be honest I don't think I'd have time for more consoles. I have a backlog of nearly 30 unopened/unplayed games as it is.

I think I could survive on the least appealing system to me (the Wii) if I really had to. Now thrive is another matter , so you better pick the right system for your wants and needs.

I only have the 360 and im still alive. Apart God of War 3, Heavy Rain and some Nintendo games, 360 has everything i need

Considering gaming systems are not the equivalent of air, yes its quite possible. They all have enough games to satisfiy, just depends on your taste.

sure you can video games are a want not a need.

It's not just exclusive to PS3, but only possible on PS3.

I only have a ps3 and about 4 games. But that keep me decently content with socom, gta4, oblivion and mlb 09. I usually try to play everyday 1 - 2 hours or so.

Well I can on a PC or PS3, but that's the only two that I would be fine with only owning it.

Is it possible?

Uhh yeah. There's still games from last gen I haven't even finished. Same can be said for most everyone who posts here.

I could only survive with my PS3 or 360, not the Wii

Its not as good as last gen, but you could.

i couldnt survive with out my pc or ps3

I own a PC a 360 and a PSP. I don't know if i could survive with juse one system. the PC lacks JRPGS. the PSP lacks WRPGS and the 360 lacks strategy games (other then halo wars)

Heck no, to me at least, definitely if you have time for gaming. Not even PC.

I could survive with the PS3. And I own a 360 and Wii. But if I had only my Wii to play I would quit gaming.

Yes, it's not a big deal, unless all you do all day every day is play games. I have a gamimng PC a 360 and a ps3 and at any one time two have gone without use for months at a time.

If I only had one I would take my PC, hands down.

It is most certainly possible if you're one who doesn't need a new game fix every month or two weeks like some people here, or care to buy EVERY game the instant it comes out. I'm still playing through quite a lot of back catalog of games and I've come to realize that I could very well survive on one system if I wanted to. Thing is there's to many great games on all systems to pass up that I couldn't. Yet I still don't buy every game the day it comes out. :P I've not bought a new game in over half a year. yoshi_64

i doubt i'd be able to survive with just a wii, its far too casual for my liking. i'd rather play GOW3, Gears and Uncharted than wii music, punchout and warioware.

I just had a 360 up until a couple of months ago, when I got a PC. I'll get a PS3 when they come down in price.

This may come as a surprise to you TC, but it is quite possible to "survive" without any of them.

Jokes aside, I just own a Wii and has left me desiring more. I will pick up another console as soon as I start working again (which should be very soon). The Wii has a fun and colorful library, however, I would love to play Little Big Planet, MGS4 and a some good online FPS games. On the other hand, if I had chosen to purchase a 360, for instance, I would be wanting to get my hands on Madworld, SMG and the new Metroid (which looks amazing).
