Well theres a few things I'd have to decide first.

1. I'd have to wait at least 6 months and see how good the consoles are. Are there any system problems like the RRoD or is it a pretty well made console.

2. It has to be $299 or less. I will never buy a console until it is $299 or less that includes consoles from Sony and Microsoft. I regret buying the PS3 at $600 ($650 in Canada) I shouldn't have even bought it till it was $399.

3. I'd want to wait till theres at least 5 or more AAA games. The other thing I regret about buying the PS3 so early is that for the first 8 months the only good games I played were Oblivion and Resistance. It wasn't until Call of Duty 4 that I really enjoyed my PS3. On a brand new console this could take over a year to get 5 AAA games.

4. It has to be popular. I don't want to buy a console that is selling horribly and will probably lose 3rd party support soon (looking at the dreamcast). Even though the PS3 is last place it has 3rd party support and great exclusive games because its sales are good (not as good as wii, but good).


If a new console can do all that then yeah, of course I'd buy. Well maybe not Activision. I have kind of a semi-boycott on Activision. The only games I'll buy from activision are ones made by Infinity Ward. I won't buy a guitar hero or a treyarch made Call of Duty or any new IP's unless they're AAA.

Didn't you break all these rules when you bought your PS3?

Yes I broke rule 2, 3 and sort of broke 4. But I decided on these rules this gen after buying PS3.
