Of course you predicted it. You know that I'm unbiased and will buy all three.

Well this isnt so much a test of unbias. People will inevitably change given certain unannounced games. This really only gauges what people are already sold on.

I'm sold on all three.

I will eventually own all 3.
When Wii is under $300 and PS3 is under $600......unless i win a shit load of cash and/or successfully sue some chick for rape... then i'll buy them right away.

Wii (Launch) + PS3 (Next Year) For Me

mxlegend99 · Post by **mxlegend99** » 13 Sep 2006 10:59 pm

All 3. It's the only way you're guaranteed to get every game you want. Plus i have no willpower to stop me wasting my money.

I will definitely get a 360 once Halo 3 is out (only game at this stage I want for it). Beyond that I could see myself getting a Wii given the option for backwards coompatibility with GC games (living in Japan there are a crapload of cheap, good games to choose from). I'll give the PS3 a miss - aside from MGS4 nothing on it really grabs my attention and it is far too expensive.

hopefully a 360, depending on when i buy a house and if i can afford to get a 360 or not at the time....maybe might even get a deal with a phone dunno....i'll weigh up my options in 6 months

Already have an Xbox 360. I will buy a Wii at launch. PS3 will be the first console for a like 10 years that I haven't bought on launch. Until Sony lower the price of the PS3 I'm not going to bother, but one day it'll be a sane price and I'll pick it up then.

360 and Wii so far for me but I am such a consumer whore i'll probably get PS3 at launch anyway, even if it is outrageously expensive.

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 14 Sep 2006 12:22 pm

360 and Wii for me, but if the price drops down enough and there are some games I have to have, then I'll be on the SONY pony.

Out of curiosity Rorschach, what kind of work are you doing in Japan? At least I imagine it's not a holiday as you've been over there for a while now yeah? Permanent/Temporary thing?

Count me in for all three on launch.

Darwi · Post by **Darwi** » 14 Sep 2006 04:20 pm

X360 (already) and Wii for me.

May pick up a PS3 at some stage just for VF5... but it will be a long way down the track and likely second hand.

Vaguely interested in HD-DVD... but still undecided.

Pat · Post by **Pat** » 14 Sep 2006 04:33 pm

So who's changing their vote?

Texas · Post by **Texas** » 14 Sep 2006 04:50 pm

I voted 360 only, no change. Other 2 will be considered when price drops and killer apps released.

Like the other 90% of English speaking foreigners in Japan I teach English. I've been here for 3 years now with a view to stay 3 more. Permanent temporary you could say. If you are a game nut Japan is the best place on the planet.

360 and Wii for me. One down, one to go.

And I'm only really getting the Wii for Zelda & Mario.

BOOMY · Post by **BOOMY** » 15 Sep 2006 12:25 am

Surprising to some of you, X360 is all I'm interested in getting for real. I am just afraid a. the ps3 will become huge b. the wii will interest me too much. I really wont be looking for any serious purchases for at least another year.

Its a hard decision this time becuz of how poor the x360 does in japan, though in the west it just seems so dominant and not like it'll be knocked off this perch anytime soon. I wonder if the PS3 will be a bit of a saturn(big in japan but limited elsewhere).

GameHED · Post by **GameHED** » 15 Sep 2006 11:13 am

360 for the fps. Doesn't hurt that oblivion is on it.
Wii for all the inhouse titles like metroid, zelda, mario etc
ps3 mainly for mgs, any JRPGs, and non-pc stuff.

For me if I ignore a single platform completely I feel as if I will be missing out on too much. But usually I don't like to buy consoles at launch unless the platform has an AAA game. I wait for price drops and until the system has a strong line of games with a polished feel to them. What I mean by that, is I'm not interested as much in mindless easy to do ports of existing games on other platforms.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 15 Sep 2006 12:44 pm

360 only for me... ATM I can't see the Wii being more than a novelty (if I need novelty value, I have Samba on the DC or any game on the DS). I doubt I'll get a PS3 as it's hard to justify the price tag... there's no games I *really* want to play on there, and the ones I do will probably come out on the 360 as well.

I'm perfectly happy owning the PS2 of this gen
