Would you have bought your said consoles? Especially with MS snagging a grip of former PS titles, would you still buy your consoles?

For me, knowing what I know, I would have passed on my PSP, DS Lite and my Wii. I have fun with all of them, but don't seem to hold my attention. I actually sold my PSP, bought another one and sold that one. I still have my Wii and DS Lite, but haven't turned them on more than 2-3 times this year.

What about you? I still would have bought the PS3, but for full BC. Otherwise, I would have passed on it.

Discuss. And please, no flaming and trolling. I would really like an honest, intelligent discussion. If you want to troll, go elsewhere.

Wouldnt have got a 360. Should have known it would RROD on me. I was so stupid.



Yes.

I bought the Wii for Motion controls and Nintendo's awesome game library.

I bought the PS3 for Blu-Ray movies and some HD gaming that doesn't make it over to the Wii.

I bought the DSLite for Zelda, and have already bought more games than I imaged I would buy.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I amde the right decision. I bought a wii a month after launch and it has the games I want and is the system I play the most. I then bought a cheap 360 off ebay and it works nice. Lastly, my ds gets as much playing time as my wii. This gen has been good to me and it is awesome. Thought I was gonna get a ps3 at the start of the gen, thank god they announced that price early enough for me to get that way out of my head before launch.

In 2007, I was ready to buy a 360, but instead waited to get more cash and bought a PS3. I don't regret it because i bought the 60gig PS3.

Im not sure about the wii but I would have gotten the ps3 and psp.



Check out my game about moles ^

I still would have bought the PS3 & 360. I'd be disappointed to know my 360 would RROD 3 times but they were all repaired for free. And one disc drive failure on the PS3, but that was also replaced for free. So it's really just the hardware problems that have disappointed me for both, otherwise they have both been great.



  

I don't regret any of my console purchases. I just wish games were a little cheaper.



Can't really say that I regret any of my purchases. Yeah sometimes I look at my Wii and wonder why I ever bought it, but then I play a game like Punch Out!! and/or play Super Mario RPG on my TV again.

I would have still bought the 360 because I was starved for JRPGs.

I would have still bought a PS3 because I love Sony's first party offering, easily tops in the industry in my opinion other than Mario and Zelda.

So yes, I would still purchase every system this generation.
