Gilgamesh do you really think these people WOULDN'T buy another console if they were rolling in dosh? I guarantee you if we all had enough money every individual who posted in this thread would still get the cash together to purchase a PS3 or an X360. Despite what some may have said. I reckon this would be the case vise versa as well, i believe many PS3/X360 owners would shell out the money for a Wii if they had the chance - if only for games such as Wii Sports Resort and Metroid Prime - even though some of them tend to troll the Nintendo boards.

I myself have a massive list of games to buy and also a log of games i need to play through completely. That's games from the current generation consoles i own and even previous generation games. My wish list does not cover even a quarter of games i vow to purchase eventually. Despite all this though, i'm trying to sort my monthly earnings to see that i can - one day very soon - gather together the cash to purchase a PS3 for the half dozen exclusive games that have tugged my interest, even though there are far more than twice as many games for my current generation consoles that i have yet to buy.

I thought it was all about the games not money. But in my case it's about the games, if someone were to offer me a free Wii with all it's games I wouldn't take it.

(or maybe I would then sell it on ebay...hmmm)

Then you are quite odd. (at least to not try the games first anyway)

If someone offered me (in my current position) a PS3 or 360 with a bunch of games I would try them, then sell it (even if I liked some of the games)

If I had unlimited time and money of course i would buy the other systems. It's a balance not a straight want/don't want/can't afford.

----

For example, I think I probably spend about £100 a year on games, if that doubled to £200 I wouldn't spend it all buying a console as I would have no new games to play for a year, if I had a budget of maybe £400 a year I still think I would just be buying more Wii games (though I would be less picky about getting them as cheap as possible) I think to push me to actually purchase another console someone would have to give me an extra £400 per year (now £500 total) that I am only allowed to spend on gaming. And I had to put that last rule in now because I just thought if I had that much extra money per year to do what I want, I would be buying more Wii games with some of it but the extra would go on non-gaming things.
