How do you decide when and which consoles to purchase?

[Kwaad]

I choose what I feel will be fun. Atari 2600 = fun = owned NES = fun = owned SNES = fun = owned GameBoy = fun = owned N64 = fun = owned PS1 = fun = owned PS2 = fun = owned GC = fun = own x-box = not that great fun = owned Wii = kinda fun, but needs games. Coming. = own PS3 = Fun = own 360 = Fun, but not owned. Basically what I am saying is, I love games. I have fun on every console. How much? Depends on the games. The x-box games were fun and all but never really amazed me. The GameCube games were 2nd only to X-box in how bad they were. I say what I do about the Wii as, I've played 2 games on it that I think were fun, but one was just a zelda. I was quite dissapointed in it. (fun but not great fun) Wii sports. This is really fun, but the lack of depth... makes it not that fun. However I am eagerly awaiting the harvest moon, SSB, and possibly a few others. (announced) I buy what I think I will enjoy the most. Wich ends up being all of them. As sometimes even the PS2 went 6months without a single great game. Buy a x-box... and you got 2-3 great games to play. Buy a GameCube... you got about 7 or 8 great games. I in a way wish I had waited on the Wii. I mean, there's not much for the PS3 out yet, but I could almost have bought a 360.
