people who own more then 1 systems...

why do you guys even bother? i used to own 360, PS3 , Wii , PC and i ended up getting rid of it all besides PS3, is there really any need for one then one consle? how much time do you have that you can play games on all these systems? maybe i am just getting less of a gamer but i think its pointless to own all the systems.

Because they want to be able to play as much games as possible?

Do you really need to ask? There's great games on every system.

i just like have choice. and owning multiple platforms gives me that

Because they share so many games, I agree that its a little pointless to own a ps3 and a 360. However a Wii and PC complement either of those well.

Yup. I've stuck to that formula since the NES days.

Owning more than one system gives you acess to more games and that´s a good thing in my book.

Well, I own all systems so I guess I need to get a life by your standards. Pretty much all my gaming takes place on the 360 though. But I simply enjoy games, and I make time and effort to play the best of them irrespective of the format. If you don't, then don't bother. Quite simple. But c'mon man, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that people own many systems....because they enjoy gaming. Life or no life.

Because I can?
Because I am able to own all the games I have interest.

As well owning all the systems means I can play the games, and thus diss them on system wars.

Because I want to play all games. I'm greedy like that.

You don't have enough time to play games, but you have enough time to make threads on GS? Interesting.

Pointless? Maybe. I admit it's a luxury most don't need. I like being able to play the best game on each console. I can go for months without playing one or the other. It doesn't really bother me or keep me up at night. One game per console every few months is fine by me. I only buy five to eight games a year total.

I own 360, Wii and Wii mostly collects dust. Time is the enemy for me as well since if I had more time, I'd have more systems & games.. No Doubt About It. :)

I find numerous reasons for owning more than one system, and they come in the form of a large portion of exclusives/multiplats. I don't get tons of time to play due to school and work, but I do get around to playing all my systems.

I own all and your right about having no time to play them, but I like to have them in my collection. I have PS2 game's still unopened

Owning all systems doesn't mean you have to play for 24 hours a day. Sometimes I don't game for weeks and I still own all systems because I want to be able to play anything I want when I want it. I can afford it, so I do it. Simple as that.nethernova

Because unlike the PC, most consoles don't offer complete backwards compatibility with all previous generations of games?

I play my 360 the most because I but multiplats for it.

I use my PS3 solely for the exclusives it has.

I play my Wii with my girlfriend and friends who come over.

PC has been in my life since the days of Doom.

How do I play all of these you ask? Depends on what game is out at the moment I supppose.

Because I like the exclusives that each offer. Just because it is not feasible for you it does not mean that it is not for others.

Because owning the best each platform has to offer is far better than having to pick up all the rubbish that is below my standards :P also I can't live with out Nintendo exclusives but Im not in a place were I want to commit to them :?.

I have 3 kids. I really only play PC nowadays, my son plays 360/PS3 with his friends and my youngest plays alot of Wii as do the rest of us (ususally drunk on a saturday night). I hate missing out or thinking im missing out. The wife goes mad at the fact i buy all big name games but rarely play them unless they are on PC lol. My son does though so its not all bad.

Because I can? I work from home and am not a schoolboy, so I have more free time than others. Besides, who do you think you are to tell others to get a life? Not everybody here lives under the same situation as you do.

Rule of the Interweb: A person telling us to get a life has no life themselves. Way I see it, I am fine with my Wii, 60 gb PS3, Original Xbox and Dreamcast for all my new and old tastes.

This is the first generation that I've owned all the systems and I'll say there are more than enough high quality exclusives on all 3 systems for me to justify owning all the systems.

I got a Wii first and a PS3 second. If there is actually an HD console game that interests me (rare) I am able to obtain it for my PS3. It's like a precaution. I don't want to miss anything I'll regret (Rayman Origins, Batman Arkham series, and Beyond Good and Evil 2)

Best post of the day, lol.

I own a Wii, a PS3, a DS and a mediocre gaming PC.

Currently i'm playing all of them, do i have the time? of course not, but that doesn't mean i should be playing every day at every time to enjoy all my games.

I mostly use my DS during travels, currently i'm using my PS3 for online gaming (SSFIV, BB:CS), my Wii for Other M and SSBB and PC for King's Bounty and SC2, now do i play them all the time? like i said nop, maybe a day i'm in the mood for some fighting games, maybe other day i'll play a little bit for Other M, etc, etc, etc.

In other words, more consoles = more options, doesn't necessary means that more consoles = more gaming = no life.

So I can play what i consider the best7 games ever made;

PC WoW, F1 2010,

360 F1 2010, Halo reach, SSF4

PS3 Wipeout HD

Wii SMG2

i wont hate on you cause i get what youre saying. i have wii, ps3, 360 and the only one i play is 360. the other 2 were complete impulse buys. they were fun for awhile, but eventually started collecting dust. the ps3 is a great machine, and i will play it more once GT5 comes out, but there is just not enough separating it from the 360 to justify owning it when you already own a 360.
