2012 - Top 3 [so far]
#1 #2 #3

3DS of course. Not interested in non-Nintendo handhelds
Wii, when the Last Story gets localized (i hope it's before the end of 2011) and PSP.... my PSP died updating the firmware because the card reader was acting funny. I NEED TO FINISH KH:BBS!!!
I was thinking 3DS, but lately I've had little time and the backlog is getting bigger. So likely I'm going to wait for second revisions/price drops and a bigger catalogue before buying the next handhelds/consoles.
Might buy a phone but for calling/browsing, not for games (since mine is like 3 y/o and not even a smartphone).
I'm in the market for a new smartphone this year I think. But it's not a console. Neither is the iPad, but it is still a gaming platform regardless of what any brand console fan would have you believe.
If Verizon finally gets the iPhone 4, my choice is an easy one. If not, I'm looking into a Droid X as well as some of Samsung's latest models.
If I drop my iPhone 3, I'll keep my iOS compatibility with a new iPod Touch or a 2nd Gen iPad with 3G connectivity.
As far as dedicated consoles go, my excitement for the 3DS has already passed and I won't be paying more than $199 for one. So whenever the price drops, that's when I'll start playing 3DS games. MGS and RE on a tiny 3D screen can wait.
In the unlikely event that it launches at $199 in NA, I'll buy one if I can find one at retail price.
Not enough information on the PS2 for a legit opinion. Assuming it gets the next batch of top franchise sequels, and it offers some form of BC (PS1, PSP or even PS2) it may again just boil down to price. If they launch at $199 in NA, I'll buy one.
In the unlikely event that my 40 month old 360 dies (insert RRoD jokes here), I'll be in the market for a Kinect/250GB bundle.
Currently resisting the urge to upgrade video cards.

I completely forgot about that franchise.
That's the series that got me to buy a GBA SP (two of them actually) and a DSL.
I still won't pay over $200 for a 3DS though. It just means I'll be buying the next Advance Wars sequel from the bargain bin when I get around to buying one.

Unless you find a new PSP for under $100, you may as well just wait for the PSP2, assuming it gets PSP BC.
They may end up ditching the UMD drive though.
Too bad you didn't jump on one of the many PSP holiday sales; there were some pretty good deals going on this season.
getting a new phone regardless, had my current iphone for nearing on 3 years now. so i've got my fingers crossed for a psp2 that is also a phone and interesting...otherwise just upgrade to the latest iphone.
certainly not a 3DS, already own everything else.
Yeah, I'll be getting a 3DS on Feb 26.
