Forums - Gaming - 2 console gamers. Which one don't/didn't you buy and why?

pre 5th gen: SNES

5th gen: bought 3 PS1. the first one broke, the last one was the PSone. I remember having so much fun with this consoles! Crash Bandicoot 3, Spyro, Tekken 3....ahh yeah! Never got around to buy a N64 or anything Sega related!

6th gen: Got a PS2 because...well everyone got one xD and a Gamecube. Also in this gen I bought my very first gaming rig..

7th gen: PS3 one year after its release but sold it soon after that to buy a Wii and a couple of games. X360 never interested me

8th gen: already bought a Wii U and a new gaming PC...XBone isn't considered -> Why bother if you have a gaming PC??
PS4 seems boring so far. I didn't really care for Sony's exclusives after the 5th gen because they didn't/don't provide me with the same fun and variety as Nintendo exclusives!

I normally don't buy Sony, mainly because their exclusives outside of a few 3rd party RPGs and some fighting games rarely appeal to me that much or folk I game with.

Everyone keeps saying this... I think I'm gonna have to play it this summer. The last game you guys recommended turned out awesome (Chrono Trigger).

protip! Dont expect Xenoblade to be the best RPG you play.  I didn't do it and I was really suprised how great it is. When you expect to much you are more prone to being annoyed by little things because subconsciously you are looking for flaws to compare it to other games etc.

So try to be unprejudiced when it comes to Xenoblade.

It was the first ever game of the Xeno series I played well the first ever game made by Monolith Soft i played and they managed to be in the top 3 of my most favorite developers EVER. 

Well actually they are on the TOP SPOT but they have to share that position with 2 other companies (who constantly bring out great games yet have to share that pole position with MonolithSoft which made it to the top with just 1 game LOL!!!)

So yeah dont expect to much

I know exactly what you mean about expectations and games.

Ok then I'm going to play it just to prove how much it sucks.



I didn't buy a X360 because it didn't have a bluray drive and had fees for online play.



Didn't buy PS3.

- pricey.. $599USD at launch is pretty crazy

- Not really into Sony's games

- Not crazy about their controller either

-Didn't really care for blu ray like many do

I don't buy anything except Nintendo systems because I have no need to. I don't enjoy third party games nearly as much as first party games and the competition's first party games just don't put up a fight against Nintendo's.

Also, if I really wanted to, I could use my brother's PS3 for games that aren't available on Nintendo consoles.

Let me just slap these fanboy goggles on you....annnnddd there. Please proceed to enjoy your very narrow and blind faith in one company.


As opposed to the very narrow and blind faith some many users here have in one of the other 2 companies?

You might be new to this but, opinions exist. Everyone has them. You not agreeing with someone elses doesn't make them less true or a fanboy/girl. Right now, you're the one coming across as that which you claim he/she is for critizing his opinion.

As if someone who choses to play Nintendo consoles only is somehow brainwashed and totally oblivious to the world around him...


Yes, and his opinion is very narrow. Much like me saying...., "pshh I eat at McDonalds and only McDonalds. I refuse to buy any other fast food restaurant. Screw that new restaurant down the street because McD's obviously has the best burgers and everything I need."

Sure it may be an opinion, but when it comes down to it's pure fanboyism. Me criticizing someone for being that narrow comes down as fanboyish? (even after i've shown a history of a love for nintendo just a few posts above his) I'm pointing out the obvious. It's like an American spouting out bullshit about being the best country.  His post reminds me of a redneck going "Murica!". Now before you claim I'm anti US, I' am in the US Air Force. Do I love my country? Yes, but do I criticize us and realize that some countries do other things better? Yes! That's exactly my point im trying to make with consoles. You need to open up and try other things and not just shut yourself in to one little platform and claim it has all the bells and whistles you need without even keeping yourself open to the possibility of other things which he clearly demonstrated he's not willing to do. 

His blatant generlization of third party games is laughable as well. "Well it's third party....i don't like third party so I'm not gonna play it." 

I guess that means we can throw out capcom. No more monster hunter tri. Also means we can throw out anything from Ubisoft or Rockstar. Bioshock? Naaaah don't need it, because from what he's telling me third party games must pretty much not be worth it.

I'm saying it here and now, if you're a close minded individual no matter what console you're supporting I will mock you. If he had given a reason other than I just don't buy nintendo and the other systems games don't hold a candle than it would have made his opinion a bit more valid and reasonable. Instead it pretty much just comes off as ignorant.
