The Wii is the system for me, I can get it and sell my Gamecube, keep the small amount of Gamecube things I have (controllers and 7 games), continue my Gamecube collection (although there is not a ton of GC games worth owning) and start getting all the great Wii games that have so much hype (mostly brawl and Galaxy).

I would love to have a PS3, but I'm just not the kind of person that spends that kind of money. The PS3 doesn't have a ton of good games out, and I would rather continue getting games for PS2 (?maybe even buy a slim PS2?) and either get a $200 slim PS3 when all the good games are out and I only have to pay $20 for them or just wait until PS4 is out and just play the PS3 games I missed out on (as it will most likely be backwars compatible).

Xbox 360 would be a perfect system for me (because it's the medium in power of the 3 systems) but I just don't like the games for it (not an FPS fan).

I'm not sure when I'll get a Wii, but I'm pretty sure I'll follow the above plan. Well, what do you think??

Yeah, I want to get most of the exclusives (except for ones that have upgraded version on Wii like Mario Kart).

Not to be a **** or anything, but... blog it. This isn't a discussion, this is just you telling us a story. Perfect for a blog, not so perfect as a forum post, unless your intention is starting a flamewar.

I think your nuts to be frank, its the worst garbage I've ever owned. There's more to the 360 than FPS too. But do whatever you want, you'll get a clan of fanboys telling you its the greatest decision you'll ever make.

Pretty good plan except, get a 360 as well. I always get my favorite console plus my second favorite for variety. Then I buy the third console at the end of the gen. This strategy has worked nicely so far. Also imo this gen Wii>360>>>>PS3.

Or

Translation: I can buy a PS3 at $200 in a year or two which will be identical to the one I can buy now for $499, and there will be more good games available to buy with the money I saved.

haha and ur buying a wii....which has just as few good games as the ps3 does. If your looking for good games bite the bullet and save for a 360.

also i can almost guaruntee that the ps4 plan wont work out for u. In 2 years the ps3 will still be 3-4 years away and that 200$ price tag will be looking very nice
