These last two generations (7th and 8th) I've waited at least a year after each respective console's release before picking one up. Got my Wii in the fall of '07 (mainly because it was just so damn hard to come by at the time), as well as my 360 during the holidays because of Halo 3 and COD 4. This gen I've held off on all 3 consoles so far (just not enough compelling games to make the jump into next gen prior to this holiday), and I'm glad I did as I await the big holiday lineups and Black Friday bundles. Plus there's always hardware updates / revisions with consoles these days, and most consoles receive a price drop within the first year or so on the market, so to me it doesn't make sense to pick up a new console for day 1 launch.
Prior to the 7th gen, I've gotten each Nintendo console within a month of launch from gens 4-6 (SNES, N64 and GC), and also got a PS2 after it came down in price and I got GTA Vice City for Xmas, so I kinda had to buy one at that point lol.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
