What do you think of the Next Gen consoles?

What do you all think about the next gen consoles?  I'm picking up a Revolution cuz I love Nintendo games, plus I love the download library.  The controller is also pretty interesting.  Developers seem to really like it, I hope it catches on.  The only downside is that now I can't make fun of my friends who tilt around the controller when they're playing racing and fighting games :twisted:

I'm thinking about picking up a PS3 down the line a few months after launch.  I think I missed out on alot by only having 1 console this gen.  Plus it's backwards compatible so I could pick up some older games when I can't fit a new game into my budget.

I'm not really interested in the 360 since I'm only looking to get a 2nd console.

I'm afraid of the reports that games are going to get more expensive with the next wave of consoles.  I have bills to pay!

Once I saw the 360, I decided to skip it and wait for the Rev.  I thnk Nintendo is primed for a homerun there.   Nothing wrong with the other systems at all, but I know how much I love my DS (because it offers something new), and I really think this could be the new road into gaming with the interactivity.

I like my Xbox, but I didn't buy it for almost a year and a half after it was released because I always thought of the launch lineup just a little less than appealing to me.  I know Halo was around, but that's not enough to warrant the 200 bucks I would have paid just to play it.   I get the same feeling about the lineup for the 360.  Make no mistake, that thing is going to be awesome once they fill out the library, but by the time the games really start coming in, the big N will be on it's way.

So, I think my Rev will come first.  I am for the first time, really considering a Sony over the Xbox. If it looks as gorgeous as I think....oh man.

I still have my N64, I had so much fun with it when my son was about 6 y/o. I have only played on a Wii for maybe 5-10 minutes. Was at a friends house and did the baseball HR derby thing of something like that. I could be fun in small doses, but I couldn't see playing games like Mass Effect, BF, Red Dead on such apparatus', it would take you forever to get through them. The Wii U at least has a more controller like controller. but it apears so huge and cumberson for extended play also.

In all honesty, I fear the Wii U will do little to salvage the Wii following.

As for th eXer and the PS3, I dread new consoles there, I have too much invested in the current titles and setups. Don't want to start over. Both MS & Sony will cut their own throats if they don't allow current games to play on any new consoles they develop and release..
