Or...Nintendo made a console that I find very appealing, with great potential. I would really like to get a PS2 soon...I still have to play through Shadow of the Colossus and the first God of War.

Just because I picked a console over another doesn't make me a fanboy of that company. Yes, the Wii cost more, but I see a lot of value in it...it's fun! I didn't get around to buying a PS2, because I'm not made of money, and buying a PS2 at this moment is still not in the cards...I know there will be new games on the next-gen systems like Wii, and buying a PS2 would not let play those games...which would suck. I can buy a PS2 later and get those games later...I want to get new games when they come out, so sue me.


I'm just saying. You can buy God of War... for 15$ (if you dont mind used games) and 20$ new. That is a poor mans game. (there is nothing announced on the Wii that I feel will compare to God of War... actually I think God of War is one of the best games in history... God of War2 was the same game... just more. (that was good, becuase makeing a game that close to perfect... better... usually goes the wrong way... That is in refrence to nintendo by the way)

The PS2 is still getting more smash hits in 2007 than the Wii. (I think) and come around 2008 the Wii might pull ahead.



 Much like Kenobi I haven't really likd PlayStation at all since the early day's. I only ever really like Crash and Spyro but my SNES and later my N64 really took my top spot. Since my origional PlayStation was a freebie I only played it awhile I was going to mod it but the chip would have cost me 30CDN. So I descided how many games would I even burn.

Since then I chose Nintendo as my company of choice. I love Platformer's RPG's and RTS genre's. I have to say that other thn RTS both other Genre's can be bought on my GameCube. I did look at PlayStation2 a little bit in 2000 before Nintendo showed off the GameCube but Sony just lacks the first party power of Nintendo.

 I love Donkey Kong , Mario , Zelda , Star Fox and StarWars was a major factor at the time too. I loved Factor5 and they were supporting Nintendo exclusively. So with LucasArts big supporter of Nintendo when I bought GCN and Nintendo's own first party line-up I saw no reason to bother with a PlayStation2 I would only buy like 15-games for it today and thats after all their thousands of releases.

I also love Sega growing up but have always had financial pressure. I chose to go Nintendo because other then Sonic and GoldenAxe their weren't really any reasons for me to get a Genesis. In 2002 however GameCube was seeing poor third party support and Sega was going down. I descided to buy a DreamCast which is now one of my favorite consoles.

So before you can call me a fanboy, I just thought I'd clear things up I also love EnsembleStudios and Bungie and might get a 360 in the near future!
