Whee for me , I'll be getting a Wii

Maybe a ps3 if its impresses me, I saw the 360 and didn't see a reason to buy.

Wii is a lot less painfull and looks like more fun

Xbox 360

By the time I buy it (when Halo 3 comes out, most likely after the launch of the ps3) it'll be as cheap as a Nintendo Wii (Revolution). Not to mention, it'll be around $300 cheaper than the ps3. $300 cheaper... $300--which is only 1/2 the amount of the cost of Sony's ps3. Sorry... EVIL Sony's ps3.

To conclude

I only bought my Xbox for one reason: Tom Clancy. I love those games. Well, two reasons. Tom Clancy games and Xbox Live. Xbox Live is the best multiplayer experience out there today! I think I've owned about half a dozen games since I bough my Xbox a year after it came out. Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, Halo, Halo 2, and Madden (which wasn't Live-enabled, because EA is a bunch of... well, you know).

Right now, there aren't any games I see that I like, except for GRAW; but I can wait for that. By the time I'm done waiting, GRAW, another Rainbow Six, Halo 3, and another Live-enabled Madden will be out for the, most likely, $50 cheaper Xbox 360. :)

PS3 (at the moment)

Was going to be the 360 but then I went to E3 and really loved what I saw on the PS3 console.

Also, I'd be buying it as much for the Blu-Ray player as the game console. If Sony wants to subsidize my Blu-Ray purchase, I'll let them and they're kind of doing that with the PS3 since it's even more expensive than what we'll they'll be asking :-)

Revolution

X360 and PS3 clearly better hardware, but I'm gonna stay true to Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Metroid and Bob Ross Painting.

Definately a Wii

by somei08 - 5/22/06 8:59 PM In reply to: (NT) What Next-Gen console are you planning to buy? by 3bose

Despite the name, the Wii is very innovative, looks like a lot of fun, and won't break my bank. Plus it's from Nintendo. Nintendo has a pretty good track record (with only one failed system, the Virtual Boy *shudders*), so I see great things in store.

Wii first, PS3 later

by barret55 - 5/22/06 9:22 PM In reply to: (NT) What Next-Gen console are you planning to buy? by 3bose

I was planning on throwing down for a PS3, until I kept hearing more and more about the Wii. Since it will be much cheaper, I'll spend my money on it, and pick up a PS3 sometime later on.

Wii, but not right away

by beelissa - 5/23/06 6:54 AM In reply to: (NT) What Next-Gen console are you planning to buy? by 3bose

We'll wait till the price comes down a bit, or at least till there are games for it that don't cost $50.

We're Nintendo people. We have every Nintendo platform ever made except the Super NES and the GameBoy Color.

Plus the price is a big factor. The Nintendo loyalty comes from my son. I'd be more likely to buy a non-Nintendo platform if the price was lower than the prices I've heard for these things.

Not a 20Gb PS3 by the looks of it...

by spooksman - 5/23/06 7:47 AM In reply to: (NT) What Next-Gen console are you planning to buy? by 3bose

Sony 'unlikely' to offer 20GB PS3 in UK - this was on The Register today...

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/05/23/sony_uk_ps3_60gb_only/

I have a 360 and will almost certainly get a Wii as well...

Wii for sure

by jialuolu - 5/23/06 5:51 PM In reply to: (NT) What Next-Gen console are you planning to buy? by 3bose

I've been into Nintendo-style games for forever and plan to get a white DS Lite first too

But since the Wii sounds like it'll be so cheap, a PS3 a while after that isn't out of the question either
