Wii

Edit: Will get a 360 next year when they have all the issues worked out and hopefully it's cheaper.

Will get a PS3... eventually.

If I could afford it, I'd be getting a Wii. Oh well, it's only video games I can wait.

If I get one it will more than likely be a Wii. I would like to get a PS3 but right now they just cost to much. Also I have pretty much only played games on my PC the last 6 or so years and don't play games as much as I should on what I spend, so shelling out another 599 for the PS3 is a little over board for me.

Getting a Wii, already have a 360. If I had the money, I would wait out in line for a PS3 and sell it on ebay, but the funds arent there.

Getting GoW tommorow, BTW.

Already have a 360, haven't played it since last December and I finally get to bust it out for Gears of War. Finally a use after 10 months of nothing but sh!t titles. I have both a Wii and PS3 preordered at my local EB, but I won't pick up the PS3. I don't want any of the launch games, or anything at all this year for it, actually. My Wii, on the other hand, I will have on launch day with Zelda. Glorious Zelda.

Although I agree and am in the same boat, isn't that statement a bit contradictory?

Actually the older I've gotten (31 next month ) the more I've gravitated towards consoles, because I've lost my desire to tinker with PC's just for games. Unlike when I was younger and had time to mess with computers, now I just want something I can flip on and play a game when I get some free time.

I don't understand this mentality, as once you have a computer up and running good, you can do exactly that with it - flip it on, launch a game, and go. The only times it requires "tinkering" and messing with it is when you're upgrading, which should be a pretty isolated event, and when problems occur, which also hopefully is pretty rare. Not like problems DON'T happen with consoles, especially the more modern ones.

Sports games suck on PC. I guess if you don't like sports games the PC will do the trick though.

Oh, and I'll probably buy a Wii but already have a 360. Might want to add that to your poll for more accurate results by the way (since some people may be viewing this as a popularity contest ). Buying Wii/PS3 already have 360 or something like that.

Nope, I've got my PC and my GP2X. Other than that, I'm satisfied.
