Wii for Nintendo first party games like zelda, mario and metroid.

PS 3 for everything else, and Blu-ray for movies.

360 and ps3. Skip the wii this gen since its not for me. I played it at a friends house and gave me the eyetoy feeling. Extremely fun in the beinning but got very boring after an hour and its just not or me, plus i got zelda on the cube. I don't want a new control sceme and I think it will be filled with party games with bad graphics compared to ps3/360. I could be wrong and get one if it gets some great games I want but nothing so far.

360 I bought cause I couldn't wait for the ps3 and wanted some of its great lookig games and I've always bought sony's consoles because of the great games. Both have alot of games that i want.

Xbox 360. Just because it has the most games I want to play. And what's weird, is that some Sony fanboys seem to think that's a stupid reason to buy a console. I've really lost track of System Wars. Opinions differ you know. If Xbox 360 has more games I want then why was it stupid of me to get one? I hardly understand the SW logic anymore. It's like opinions don't matter in this board.

I bought a 360 last year around E3 so much was happening at the time and I thought it was really cool how some content was available over XBL. That and at the time it had some games I wanted to play...

Also, franchises that are now considered multiplats (from EA, UBI, etc) weren't at the time because there was no other next gen console available yet. I'm glad I decided not to wait to see how that turned out.

So basically it's games, games games, my good man.

A Sony PR guy jumped me in the Best Buy parking lot and at gun point forced me to buy my Ps3....Oh the shame,,,

Really though I owned a xbox, then MS chose to just stop making anything for, which really left me in a bind, so after a lot of though I was going to get a 360 but after reading the 3 ring problem I thought well once bitten twice shy..

The Ps3 had Blu ray, I have a HDTV plasma and thought, I get a ps2 a blu ray player and the ps3 games all in one if I get a PS3 with free online....Well you see my point ..

What really made me happy with my choice is after MS decided to release the Elite they didn't even put the 65 chip in it, you know the one that runs cooler and might, and I stress might help the 3 ring problem...

I think I got a deal,  PS2 games to play, a Blu Ray player, and the ability to get PS3 games all for 700 canadian,,

I bought a DS only because of Castlevania. I got a PSP only because of Mega Man, and I got a PS3 only because of Devil May Cry 4. I'm getting a Wii soon, I hear they're releasing Castlevania for it.

No not really. It's not the only game I got the PS3 for. Although, I think Capcom's decision was treason.

Wii because my favourite games are on that console like Mario, Zelda and Smash Bros. Also it was cheaper than the other two and I feel I am getting better value for money.

360 only because I got an amazing deal. $250 CAD for the 360 core, 20 gb hard drive, 6 games, 2 wired controllers, and 1 wireless controller. I was planning on buying all the ps2 and gc games I've missed out last gen.

Well it was the main selling point, of course. But hey, Konami announced that Gradius and Castlevania are heading towards the PS3.

Whatever I stated doesn't matter. I didn't get the PSP because of Mega Man only. I got other PSP games as well.

360 - I was going to wait, but I felt the need to Jump In when some of my friends bought one and Oblivion and GRAW were right around the corner. Plus the fun of playing Xbox Live with them.

Wii - Since they were going to release Zelda: TP at launch with the Wii and it was fairly inexpensive, I got it for an early Christmas present. I also got it for Virtual Console and its later games coming out.

I have every current gen system except a PSP and a X Box 360. Reason I bought my systems is because I love video games. Reason I haven't bought a 360 is because PS3 will be getting a lot of the games on the 360, and there are very few exclusives that interest me on the 360. However, I might buy a 360 if the upcoming JRPGs are good, and Ninja Gaiden 2 is reported as exclusive, but I doubt it will be though. :)  I haven't bought a PSP because I think one handheld is enough, and it's lacking a lot of good games.
