I do. But I also love gaming and have more money than gaming sense. :P

PS: It is not something to be proud of.

This poll makes no sense. I picked my console for more than one reason and I think it's the same for everybody in SW.

Because the PS3 and 360 might as well be the same console. There's not enough difference between them, IMO, to own both.

Are you kidding!?

Why wouldn't someone buy all the systems, lets find out:

Wii: $250

360: $400

PS3: $500

PC: $1000

DS: $130

PSP: $170

In all, you would spend more then $2500 after tax ON THE SYSTEMS ALONE! Most people are just not willing to shell out that much cash.

Most people who do own all systems don't buy them all at the same time.

What's the point on buying all 3 systems really? I believe if you want to have multiple systems this gen it's PSWii or Wii60. No point in getting PS360 or PS360Wii.

I rather stick to a single system and spend money on other things (need a new TV badly) because if I bought a PS3 and a Wii and a few games for each, I'd be broke by the end of the month.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own all three consoles but sadly im not made out of money.

I'll go with the "a lot of fanboys are quite young (kids), and lack the money to afford the luxury of all three" option, if it exists.

Some of us can't afford a PS3, 360, and Wii. There are so many hidden costs to owning all 3 that it makes it more expensive than just building a computer.

I built a computer but I also do everything with my comp, so it gets used for everything.

Because I cannot afford to buy every system and support every system we are talking thousands of $'s here. I also have other hobbies that I spend money on, a baby to take care of and buy stuff for, bills and other expenses I gotta take care of. Ya I guess if I was making $150,000 a year I might be able to afford all systems but I don't.

Because I don't have a lot of money and at least I know that the PS3 will still be putting out kick butt games well into the future. The Wii is for kidsand the games get old very fast and in the future Iwould a system that has maybe3 or4 decent games a year I think if I was 9I might feel different. The Xbox 360 is good nowbutI don't want a consul that will peak in the next 2 years with almost no backwards compatibility and does not up convert DVD's.

What makes me choose a console is what exclusive games it has, and deciding which exclusives I would rather play.

I'd love to buy them all, but I just don't have the money. I'll probably be able to get a 360 within a couple months; and maybe in a year or so I might be able to get a Ps3, but its not likely.

I plan on owning them all. I currently own a Wii, DS Lite, and a gaming PC.

I'm getting a PSP in January and a 360 in December.

After that, it'll be time to upgrade my PC, and then I'll go from there. PS3 is a must-have, but not right now or in the near future.

Currently, I'm pursuing more retro systems. I've got a Neo Geo Pocket Color with 24 games on the way, and I'm thinking about getting a Neo Geo MVS 6-slot arcade system.

I'm also looking into the Neo Geo AES, the Atari Jaguar, and the 3DO.

Seems like a waste of money to buy all systems. Plus, it's not worth spending all that money just on videogames.

money

this year its going to cost alot to just to enjoy all the 360 games i want. plus the Nintendo games add more of a cost.

now then you have to add in if ibuy a PS3 thats 600 bucks right there plus games for that.

although i would only buy warhawk right now until MGS4.

Money is defininitely one and like some people pointed out, time is another one. With every console you need controllers, memory, and various other stuff that is an investment equal to getting a lot of games for another console. I don't have too much free time either as I've gotten 4 GCN games about 6months back and I still only finished 50% of their total play time :O.

spending $1500 on consoles is not really smart... these consoles have bad resell value which will tank in a few years. Overall video games are a horrible investment so why wouldnt you buy for value? If you want to buy something nice... spending the money on a nice watch or something that will retain of appreciate in value.

on system wars i see alot of fan boys out there . they dont want the system they dont have or they dont got the money or whatever. but theres alot of console hate out there. but what makes you pick the system you did and what makes you not buy another.deadmeat59

I have a 360 and PS3. I don't need the wii because the wii is just a gamecube with motion controls.
