That is the question that hits me as of late every time someone asks me if I would get a PS3 or not. Ever since such titles as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy 13 were announced, it was definitely a plan for me to get the system, but do to certain factors upon it's actual launch and after, I had to rethink my decision.

Let me start off by saying that I' am so proud of myself for not running to the line when the system is launched and instead, waiting a bit. After the launch of Playstation 3, many things got me thinking whether I should get it or just stick with my Xbox360 and get the Wii. The number one reason that attracted me to the Sony's new baby was Metal Gear Solid 4. I have been a fan of Hideo Kojima's work since the first Metal Gear Solid. Recently, there have been rumors goind around that they are planning to also release the game on the 360. Another title that might jump the ship is Virtua Fighter 5, which from what I know is one of the major Sony exclusives. I'am no developer, but from what I know, they would only even consider flipping if they are not happy with the hardware. But I won't get into that. This leaves me with FF13 to look forward to as a PS3 exclusive. The only good title that the system has since it's launch is Resistance: Fall Of Man and not many other titles that I would even consider getting. That would leave a big space of time until fall or close to it for the games that I want to get to be released. I have a perfectly working PS2, so I have no use for backwards compatibility, nor do I have a high definition tv to enjoy blue ray. This will basically leave a $600 Blue Ray machine to collect dust. On the other hand judging from the past of Sony's systems, this one will shine no doubt, just needs to get into the swing.

Recently, while I was at my local Gamestop, i have seen the PS3 on the counter. So, I was quick to ask the clerk if they had it in stock. He replied to me not by saying whether they have it in stock or not, but by saying "You have a 360, stick to it". Taking the advice of the clerk into consideration, I have come to a conclusion. I have decided to just stick with getting the Wii and waiting a year or so before I actually get the PS3. Probably by the time I get it, the price tag will go down, we will probably know for a fact if it's a hit or miss, and it will have a bigger and better gaming library.

The Wii on the other hand seems more appealing for me to get at the moment. A fanboy I' am not by all means but the same as many of you, Nintendo has always had a special place in my heart. A Super Nintendo was the very first system in our household and what got me into gaming in the first place. You can;t go wrong with Mario, Zelda and the gang as it always was great fun to play. Plus, considering the fact that my parents seem to be attracted to games that involve any type of physically moving around, the controller might get my parents into gaming :P Another thing that brings me to this choice is the current price tag and the fact that you are able to download those games from the yester years a la XBL Arcade. With that said, it is clear to me that the Wii would be the best choice for me to get right now.

EDIT: It seems that Gamespot doesn't like a certain word. It basically erases everything I have written after it, so I had to re-edit the blog alittle.
