cool.

For me, this gen it was Zelda (and blu-ray for the PS3), last gen it was Mario, the gen before that it was Mario, the gen before that it was a gift, and the gen before was a box of cereal

So, I'll say it is the games.




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

Definitely the games, otherwise how can we call us gamers



I don't understand the poll. Do you mean a console redesign, or just a totally new console?

I should've specified. I mean something like the PS3 slim or DS Lite.

Wii was for the motion controllers (which end up being kind of disappointing to me)
PS3 was for the Blu-Ray
PS2 was for the games
Gamecube was because of the brand

But now it would be a lot more because of the games or maybe some new stuff like Natal.

I think the "new" refers to being new to you.   

Edit:  I was wrong.  and I should have never answered the question, because it doesnt fit

Obviously the games.

I bought a PS3 for:

MGS4
GT5
Ratchet and Clank.

And I will be buying a PS4 because that is where I will find the sequels to these games. (except for MGS4, that was the last in the series. )




The games. Not just new releases, or pack-ins, but the pre-existing library. I responded Other.
