Since E3 has came and gone, and all of the previews have appeared, which console(s) are you getting, if any? Please vote in the poll.
 
GC; Nintendo has been old faithful, always delivering a solid console (NES->N64), with solid support. I've played and enjoyed all their consoles so far, so it's an obvious choice.
 
Nintendo if I get another one. I won't touch Sony's POS. To this day there's not one game I even want to play on it.

And don't say I'm cheap either, my roommate has it and I still have no desire to touch it 🙂
 
Maybe an XBOX but probably not. I'm not a huge fan of consoles. They get boring too quick IMO. And I NEED a keyboard and mouse to play any type of fps. If I can use my cable modem, a keyboard, and a mouse then I'll be happy. But then again why not just use my computer? There's gonna have to be that and some really good games that are better than equivalent FPSs on the computer for me to buy one. Gamecube looks good as long as they don't have a million pokecrap and kiddy games.
 
Whichever ones have good games.

Likely a PS2 for FFX and GT3 😉
And also likely an XBox.

Nintendo doesn't really have any games that catch my fancy so I probably won't have one of those...

But the XBox and PS2 likely...that's my vote, but I won't buy until I see that they actually have good games.
 
ps2 for gran turismo 3...thats prob it though...also consoles are more fun at parties and stuff...like Street Fighter alpha 3 and crash team racing...hehehe 4 way crash woohoo!!!!
 
Those who said PS2 doesnt have good games need to check the stores again, or do they dispise PS2 purely on the basis of Sony hatred?

Those who said consoles are inferior need some life away from their computer.
 
consoles are way better than computer games!

First, you can play on a tv!
Second, you don't have to worry about installation issues or crashes.
Third, You can play people online soon over the tv.

Basically, consoles will eliminate pc gaming in the future.
 
Those who said... "Those who said" are people that like to say "those who said" and they are in no position to say anything about anything that is said. 😉
 
jagr10, who said consoles don't crash? They crash, believe me. I'll admit they're much more stable than most PC's but they do still crash.

And there's no way consoles are gonna eliminate pc gaming. Compete yes, eliminate, no.

Here's my take on the whole console thing right now...

Game cube is a really good, fast stable, nice looking system. I think it will do well, but something that's gonna hold it back is that is was designed and targeted more towards kids. Plus the standard unit doesn't play dvd's. That's crap.

PS2 is an excellent system. Power and looks wise, it and Xbox are very close. The problem with PS2 is that it's difficult to develop on. Plus I think Sony is screwing the pooch when it comes to marketing.

Xbox is very nice looking, and is supposed to be easy to develop for (accoring to the MS monkey at E3). Unless MS starts strong-arming the game industry (which they probably will) I think Xbox will actually help PC gaming. Porting code from PC to Xbox is very easy. The other way is a little more difficult (because of all the different hardware). We should see lots of games for both, except that MS doesn't want that. For example, Unreal Championship is coming out for Xbox, but MS is paying the makers bank to NOT port it to PC (straight from rep at E3). They'd better not do that with Halo. 🙁

All that said, I bought a PS2 because I think it's an excellent system, whose power is for the most part still untaped. Some really cool games will come out for it. Some really good games are already out for it (SSX is the sh!t). I'm a PC gamer at heart, so I'm not gonna buy every console that comes out. One is enough for me. However, if I had not bought a PS2, I would buy an XBox.
 
I have a PS2, and will probably get GameCube for the Mario series. Oh XBOX... no reason to get one yet...
 
Most likely none. If I EVER bought one it would be a gamecube, but the is a very very slim chance that I will ever want one.
 
i will buy them all b/c there are certain things each does that I want. the coolest of all of them is the gamecube imo.
