PC+PS+Nintendo. Xbox never appealed to me, but it looks like a good console :P

With my financial situation right now, I don't think I'll be buying another console for at least 2 years. Rocking it with the Wii U till then.

Hey folks! I'd like to know just how much of you can game exclusively on one platform for an entire generation (or generations from a single platform provider). I personally can't do it. I love Sony's offerings but I also love Nintendo's stuff, so at the very least I would get a 3DS (but some don't count handheld systems as deviating, but still ... I plan on getting a Wii U anyway). I understand there are some 'purists' here so it would be interesting to see just how many people here adhere to a specific platform. So dudes .... one box to rule them all or do you need a combination to satisfy your gaming needs? If you can game exclusively from one provider ... why is that?


I for one never understood why one would buy just one console.  I'm not saying go out and spend a thousand dollars in one day, but how about in 6 months when you have the money.  Sure, there are multiplats, buts when it comes to exclusivity, its somewhat special.  For instance when Halo rears its ugly, ugly, ugly fat head, I am glad that I have an xbox 360.  When another god of war presents itself, I am glad I also have a ps3.  When another Smash game comes out, I am super glad I have a Wii U.  Again, I understand the situation, money don't rain.  But shouldn't we try to play these great games???? 

I'm crying, shouldn't we???



It doesn't surprise me that Sony and Nintendo fans are pretty neck and neck in the poll.

I don't understand how people can only game on one platform, you're seriously missing out!



mix; theres too many good games out there and hardcore gamers like myself just have to play them, regardless of the platform. 



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Skyrim 100%'d. Dark Souls 100%'d.

Nintendo + PC



Always gonna have a PC on the side, it's got the most diverse (and arguably the best) selection of games, and it offers a different gaming experience to what consoles offer.



1 console and 1 handheld is enough for. I did however buy a WiiU this summer but I wish I wouldn't have done it :/. Aint got time for 2 consoles.

for me i'm gaming this generation on the PS3 and PS Vita only. but that doesn't mean i only stick or want to be exclusive with Sony but rather not finding enough reasons or games that gives enough desire for me to buy any console from Nintendo or MS.

Sony is keeping me satisfied to be honest and their games appeals to me the most since i love their exclusives and variety of 1st party games. plus i only want 2 games outside of Sony's area which are Alan Wake and Bayonetta 2.



Sony consoles are the only brand that get the perfect mix of eastern and western titles, so I'd say Sony.
