I don't quite agree, IMO it's usually better to look at the long term. Nomatter if you buy a house, change jobs, go to university or get into a relationship. |
So what do these things, which are life setting issues, have to do with buying a toy? If you want a toy now, buy it. If you decide you want the other toy later, buy it too. Don't get me wrong, the PS3 is a fine toy, but I'm not going to buy it now because Final Fantasy 13 is due late in 2009 or maybe 2010. That's just silly.
It's not like you can just get a second wife because something changed. You're comparing static and primarily one-time things to toys. And it doesn't make any sense at all. You don't have to plan for the future when you're buying an inexpensive toy.
You don't have to waste time trying to guess the future with consoles. Buy the one that has what you want now. If another one has what you want in the future, you can get it then. It will be cheaper anyway. I feel like you approach this as if you are chosing a side. I hate Microsoft and Sony about equally for an about equal amount of evil, but I didn't factor that into my console buying decision.
