How did last gen influence your decision on the current gen?

I had a GameCube and about 50 games for it that still keep me busy. I got a PS2 from the wife for Star Wars Battlefront I & II and Star Wars Episode III. That's about all I've played the PS2 for. I was excited with "Next Gen" consoles until all the hype on them. MS wanted the Media Hub for everything. Sony wanted the same and was so adamant on pushing it's BD for movies and entertainment. Nintendo was the only one that has always stated from day 1 that they are all about games. No DVD movies, no media center, no HD that would run up a $600 price tag. Just affordability and gaming. That was an easy choice for me. I own a DVD player. I own an entertainment center. I have a computer. All I wanted to buy was a game console. And that's exactly what I got. I truly enjoy the games I have to play on it and the ability to play my GameCube games that I've never finished (and might not ever the way it looks with my buying patterns). I have over 50 GCN games and I'm already at about 40+ Wii games (including stuff like RE4, Manhunt 2 (which I think is a lot of fun), Mario Galaxy, Zelda, COD3, MOH:Heroes 2, Conduit, etc.). With Nintendo's focus on gaming, that's the way I went. Besides, when my brother comes to town for the holidays, we still pull out the Atari and play that Tank game where we are bouncing shots off the walls and around obstacles to hit each other while invisible. Even with just a Wii and no other current console, gaming is good and I'm glad to still be a gamer.
