What reason that prevent you from getting another console?

1. Fanboyisme

2. Empty pocket

3.Waiting for price drop

4. Not interested to games that available to another console

Now playing : Haunting ground ( PS2 ), Bioshock ( X360 )and NGS ( PS3 )

Well my 360 was a gift, and I won't be buying a PS3 until 2008 for 2 reasons:

A.) Possible price drop

B.) It has the godliest libraryI've ever seen coming in 2008,why get one now?

I own a 360 and not a PS3 because i'm not spending $500-$600 on a console.

If FFXIII was out already maybe I would, but its not expected until 09 so i'll just patiently wait until an attractive price point comes.

I bought a PS3 at the price-drop, and the only reason I don't have the other systems is an empty pocket. I had to buy myself a computer, books, and all that stuff. Otherwise I would own a 360 by now and be able to get Halo 3 at launch :(

I do plan to get a Wii at the end of the year, and a 360 sometime next year.

2 3 and 4 combined, fanboyism should never prevent someone from buying a console.

How about the option: Lack of time for more than one console?

Number 3. And to an extent, Number 4 for the 360, throw in reliability issues as well.

PS3, number 4.

I felt that the PS3 was the best option for me at the time I bought it and I still think it is.

I can attribute empty pockets for me not owning another console

Price is a factor. I will ever spend more than $200 for a console, and it took a lot to convince myself to drop the extra $50 on a wii.

I'm also pretty happy with my wii and PC.

Also, I'm not very intrested int he 360 titles I can't already get on my PC and nothing on the PS3 sans LBP intrests me.

Here's my situation, and I think there a lot of people out there who sympathize:

I consider myself an avid gamer, but I dont want to be one of those guys who has every console. I dont play enough to justify that kind of time and money. I decided early that I wanted a wii + 360/PS3. I'm waiting for the decision to be easier. 360 seems like the obvious choice, but the ps3 seems like it hasn't really shown us what it's all about yet, so I'm giving it some time. During '08, I'll know for sure. There will be a great combination of better games and better price too, and then the comparison will be more fair

Price drops. Im not willing to pay that much for a console, its ridiculous. The Wii was cheap, but it was still friggin expensive for a gaming device.

2. :( I own the Wii (not because of the price, I've been a Nintendo gamer my whole life), and I want games for the 360 and PS3 but they're too expensive for me. So I guess it's a combination of 2 and 3.

sorry to disappoint you foxhound. But I'm pretty sure I'll be getting something (360, Wii, or a nice gaming PC) before/by/after next summer.

i got the wii first because it had good games coming out from the begining. ill be getting a ps3 for christmas or early next year because my bro wanted one and it should be cheaper by then. and since sony dropped the price by 150$ CAD in its first 6 months and its still selling quite poorly, my brother and i KNOW that they will be doing another one anytime soon.

I have a 360. There's still not enough games I like to warrant a PS3 purchase right now. However I will get one eventually for games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Ryu Ga Gotoku among others.

As for the Wii, I'm not interesed at all in that console.

lack of interesting games and price.

i have a wii and it was really an impulse buy. seriously, last year I never went into forums like this and knew pretty much nothing about the wii until like 2 weeks before it came out, i heard that you can download old nintendo games and it had a motion sensing controlling and it was cheap, so i bought one and im glad that it exists purely because i'd have nothing to play but old ps2 games if it wasn't for the wii.

i don't think i'd buy 3 consoles though, who has that much time on their hands? my second console this gen is a tough choice between ps3 and 360 (probably won't get either until christmas 2008 )

The reason I only have a 360 is that there are barely any games for the wii and ps3... that and my wallet is pretty empty right now.

Plus, i already own a ps2 and gamecube, so why bother buying a $600 or $250 console when the added games aren't nearly as good as the ones for my ps2 and gamecube.
