 Horrible support for it over here, almost no one owns one, not many games that interest me and it's way too expensive (here).


Where are you from?

 

 

I'm in Australia, try paying $100+ USD for a brand new game...

Wow, then i feel your pain. Our Dollar is always around the Us and yet the prices haven't changed to suit theirs.



I have owned all 3, but have now sold my Wii, which i do not regret as i hadn't touched it in 2 years when i sold it, i will eventually pick up a Wii U to play zelda and Mario Galaxy 2 but im certainly in no rush.

I think next gen tho i will just pick up a PS4, and not pick up the other 2 till much nearer the end of the gen, there really isnt time to play on all three and the cost to play a few exclusives is insane. I choose PS4 only because Sony make more exclusives that i like.



All I can say is after playing mosly PS1 the PS2 for years I never regret trying new things and buying the xbox and buying the wii later. I like my games like I like woman every color and type and flavor is given a chance. This late in the game most of the games are cheap.

Next gen PS4 first, Nextbox 2nd and Wii U if they do better than this gen.



I already have a PS3 and Wii, I had a 360 but it died on me, it didnt even die out with the infamous RROD but gave me 2 red lights. I will never buy a 360 again, because of my experiences of this unreliable machine. Even if the new ones are better I have still concerns.

To ones questioning, pm me about my Gamertag and i'll prove you.

well i own a ps360wii and i have to say i regret it. too many consoles means i just ignore most of them. I would have been perfectly happy with just a ps3 or at least just a ps3/wii.

i don't plan to make that mistake again next gen ... but i probably will anyways. i'm such a fucking tool.



I would say I am biased towards the xbox 360.

I had a xbox 360 and later bought a ps3 because I had a lot of spare cash. Sold my xbox when I read up on what games were coming out on 2011. None of them interested me except ones that have better PC versions. I will buy a 360 again when halo 4 comes out next year. I will probably sell my ps3 soon because nothing announced really interests me. I hope to flip flop between consoles next gen as well. Due to pricecuts I really don't lose too much money doing this and I get to experience the best of both systems. I guess the only problem would be that I can't replay some of my favorite games in the future but then again imo the 360/ps3 games won't have the staying power of the classics on my gamecube and playstation1 that I still play often to this day. 

I do want to get a wii for skyward sword, metroid prime 3, and mario galaxy 2. I'll wait till I can buy one used for $50 bucks though.



well i'm a very balanced poster not really favoring either console but yea i'd pick up a 360 but it would never be cheap enough.

I am a nintendo guy, just how god made me I guess. But when other consoles go down to 99 dollars I usually buy them. Ps, ps2, dreamcast. I have not done so with the original xbox but I think I will with the 360. My kid has a 360, but I play it very little. I was finally able to play shadow of the colossus when I got my ps2. That would have been worth the 99 dollars by itself.

Anyone notice that link kind of moves like the guy from SotC?

yea chum i noticed. as a zelda fan i've never completed a zelda game muchless any Nintendo game not made by Rare when they mattered, but there was just something about SoTc that drew me in. took 16 hrs but i beat it. i was the test dummy lol.

student, tutor, and teast dummy. yep thats me. i'd like to play a Zelda game as Zelda. other then Kirby shes the only major character i play with on SSBB.



Absolutely. You'd have to be a pretty stupid fanboy not to pick one up on the cheap.

When I can get a PS3 for £100, I'll buy one so I can play Uncharted 1 - 3 fully and Killzone 2 and 3 as finished the first last gen.

Although I'm heavily invested in xbox Live, Zune and could 100% never live without Halo, Fable, Gears or Forza I would never turn down the option of being able to play some more great games on a another system when its cheap as chips right before the nextbox.

I'm a fanboy, not a stupid one.

The Wii? I dunno. Right now I'd choose PS3 for £100 over Wii.

I might check out WiiU. But if M$ release the nextbox in 2012 or early 2013 then WiiU will remain on the store shelves for me I'm afraid.
