It's funny people classify them as "HD" consoles.  

The first HD game I played was in 1995, Dark Forces.

The games promoted by the "HD" consoles are as old as HD itself.  I guess that's my beef with the way console gaming was supposed to go - stale.  Thank goodness for innovation.

I used the term HD consoles because it is quicker to type than playstation 3 and xbox 360. I am fully aware that we have had superior and HD resolutions on PCs for a while now.

Your signature backs up your thoughts, that it does.

It's true. I'm a huge fan of the Wii, and this thread explains why.

I haven't been this excited about gaming in years.  Every Wii game I see I want to try.  Then next year, sword fighting with MotionPlus?  Can't wait.

Well that's good for you :) , I'd likely own a console this gen regardless.

I'm with you frybread, my friends and I probably wouldn't have bought a console this gen if it wasn't for the wii. We all lost interest in consoles during the 6th gen, even with the ps2s library, and switched to PC. I can also see what you mean on the part about old pros, noticed a lot of people who I interact with that are under 19 or are relatively new to gaming (5th gen+) generally lean towards the HD twins.

 what type of games did you play on the PC during the 6th gen?

were you excited about the eye toy back in '03?

To be honest I was considering not buying a new console and instead buying a few old games for GameCube... then maybe buying a console later in the generation.

But I didn't.

so you wouldnt get a ps3 or 360 well that to me says you arnt a great fan of HD graphics you prefer lesser graphics.
