I personally embraced Nintendo until the end of Gamecube and switched to Xbox. But I still game on a DS and will buy a 3DS soon. Seems Nintendo is an exception to many core gamer circles. People are allowed to "grow out of them" but still have a special place in their heart reserved for Nintendo and the pleasant memories they brought growing up.

Either way, I don't plan on switching and certainly don't plan on owning a second console or gaming PC.....completely undermines my position in the forums. Same goes for a PS fan who happens to own a 360. They can claim they don't play it anymore, but doesn't change they bought one, it sits in their house, and IMO that undermines their credibility as a fan of another brand.

I'd recommend getting a gaming PC.  There's so much that you can't play on consoles that you can on PC. 

Dragon Age Origins is  on consoles but it's meant to be played on PC.  There's games like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, Might and Magic, Heroes of Might and Magic, Ultima, Total War, Warcraft, Age of Empires, Civilization, Syndicate, Sim City, Afterlife, and hundreds of other great games you'll miss out on. 

The best thing about PC exclusives is that you only need one PC to play them all.  You could build something just powerful enough to play all current and past gen games and never have to upgrade again there's so many quality exclusives.  Through the use of illegal downloads and emulation you could play just about every PC to ever be made.  Not saying that I promote piracy, but not all past titles are available for purchase on GOG.  I'm just throwing that out there.

No offense but I see a gaming PC as a crutch, like its a console fans way of saying "my console of choice isn't good enough by itself". Xbox has a great history of having Xbox/PC games so I personally have little need to own one.

I game on Nintendo handhelds and own a 4th gen Ipad, so I feel set
