| Michael-5 said: I'm similar. While I never abandoned Nintendo, I was thinking about only owning a small handful of Wii games and beating it on my friends borrowed system. I bought Metroid Prime 3 and Smash Bros. not long after they released, and borrowed Mario Kart and Wii Sports. However when I brought my friends Wii home, and played some games with my gf and on my own, I really started to enjoy myself. Eventually my PS3 broke, and I convinced myself that it would be smarter to buy a Wii and get a PS3 when the price went down (or if PS4 were BC, to get that). Anyway, a little after I bought my Wii, Project Rainfall happened, and I saw XenoBlade and Last Story release. Now I'm very glad I bought a Wii, even there there are only a dozen good games on the system, those dozen games really do justify the purchase. Wii made me a different type of gamer, I now have plans to own all consoles, even if there are only a couple games on the system which I like. I bought a PSP last year to play the exclusives I didn't play on that, and again, I'm super happy. Lunar is a really fun game, and I would have missed out on it entirely if I didn't own a PSP. ---- It's great to own all the consoles, every manufacterer has a few good games, and even if it's just a couple games, you can always get the system at the end of its life for $100 or so. Got my PSP for $90, my Dreamcast (when it was still in production) for $100, and for those who don't own a Wii/360, they sell them for $100/$130 new, and PS3 will come down in price. Now I plan to get a Saturn because then I will own every Nintendo/Sega/Sony/MS console (except the GameGear/Virtual Boy, but I don't want those bricks), or at least be able to play the games via BC. |
@bold. You'd be surprised how many seeming console-A-B-C-only people actually own all consoles and play all the games.
