Single system owners: How can you be satisfied?

I own a DS, 360, Wii and PS2 and if I were to own just one of any of those I would in no way be satisfied this gen. I keep reading threads asking how can one be satisfied with just a Wii, but the same goes for ALL the systems.

If I only owned a 360, which imo has the best library of all the consoles, I would not be satisfied. So many games end up being a disappointment. Even most of the so-called "blockbuster" games are not and have not lived up to the hype.

I'm not saying this gen is a total bust, some games are what we all hoped for, but compared to last gen this gen has been a bit of a let down so far and would be even worse for single system owners. Agree or disagree?

As long as it offers what you like, people could be satisfied.

I only buy about 4 or 5 new releases a year, so I don't need many, but I could understand people being unsatisfied if 1 or 2 of those games are not as good as you hoped.

Pretty easily. I don't have time to play games on three different systems and I'm all about online MP. Halo 3/COD4/WaW/Gears2 have been doing the trick for over a year now.CRUSHER88

I'd be fine with just a PS3 and OK with just a 360. But yeah, why not have both. Floppy_Jim

Easy.

I have a job, friends and other hobbies besides gaming.

I only own a 360 and it more that fulfills my needs. (Same would be the case when I would only own a PS3)

YEs....because the only way in life to be satisfied is CLEARLY to buy more and more stuff! Consumerism is the answer to feeling complete in life.

There is no way any gamer with a full time job can fully appreciate more than one systems worth of games imo.

I play quite a lot and still feel I have games which deserve more play time. For example Fallout 3 will probably give me 200+ hours (not inlcuding DLC!) Halo 3 multiplayer could last me half a generation, experiencing the depth of a fighter like VF5 takes a lot of time, Forza is the same. GTA + all the DLC is a large chunk of time.

I think this is a trait of younger gamers tbh, always onto bigger better things. People don't seem to appreciate games much any more.

Satisfied with only one system? How is that strange? I do have all three systems and A PC but I game 99% on the 360( the Wii and PS3 are actually my daughters but I have access to them any time).

I don't understand how anyone with a job and a social life would NEED more than one system. I don't have enough spare time to play all the games I actually own, never mind the ones I pass up because of that same reason. If I actually bought every game for 360 that interests me i would need to pay every day all day to have enough time to play them all.

So if you NEEDmore than one system to be satisfied that is what I don't understand.

Notice I said need, if you want all four systems just so you can have the opportunity to play any and all games you want to that is great, but to question someone else;s satisfaction requirements especially when there are any other things in life besides gaming is just ludicrous

Exactly, satisfaction is on the individual, not on an inanimate object. If you aren't satisfied with your possessions, then either your shouldn't have bought them in the first place, or the problem is with you.

As long as it offers what you like, people could be satisfied.

I only have my PC right now and I am very satisfied. It could be due to PC not only having the most games, but the most exclusives. I am missing out on the least number of games compared to other single platform owners. I tried to have consoles but I relized that they were gathering too much dust and I never played them so I sold them.

Some people try to achieve something IRL. You should try it too, you'll see that even a Wii will satisfy you.

C wut I did thar?

(STOP! I COME IN PEACE, I have one myself, I swear, I love No More Heroes :D)

A Wii could never satisfy me. I just don't see myself liking Dora the Explorer that much.

I'm fine with the 360.

I still game on my PC/Mac every once in a while, but that's very minimal.

I don't have the time as it is to play my 360 games, and I don't get achievements for playing on anything else so why bother.

Those saying that they dont have the time is lol me cause why would you be here in system wars unless your going to work and your bored then its a diffrent story but seriously I see the same guys defending thier system in every bashing thread and then they come here saying that I cant afford it or its to much time to get another consloe well then stop posting here and go get another consloe (or job) cause being Multi-plat gamer is great.

Oh ive got a 360,Ds,Ps2,Pc,Gamecube,I-touch ( if you want to not consider it gaming ok) and im very satifyied. I may not touch the ps2 or gamecube at all but if I do I still enjoy it and its worth the hard work that ive had to reach to get them ( Though most of them where gifts.) Trust me its great you can say any consloe is the best but truely unless you own all of them then your missing out on something

That's the only time I am on here. Never when I am not at work. So my point I made before still stands. Where to find time to seriously play all systems?

It's easy to be happy when your system has plenty of great games for your tastes.I'm still a bit overwhelmed by the content.

i have a ps3 and i am satisfited

it has all the exclusives games i want

I own a ps3, and thats my only console, (psp also, and my nephew got a wii)

and since thats my only console, i put more love into it, (more time) i use it like i shud, e.g. watchin Downloaded HD films of my external hardrive, viewing nice family photos in slideshows, pumping up music in souround sound, sometimes using web browser, mailing freinds, playing LBP when freinds and family come round, (absolute fun playing with others) or going hardcore on MGO, yes i play MGO :D

and with a great 09 linuep im pretty much set :D

and i just purchased VChronicles today and cant wait to get my hands on it :D
