This isn't to say I'm giving up in the computer, but being so narrow minded to have only one piece of hardware? Hell no, there is :banana::banana::banana::banana: the Wii can do that PCs cant. Like legally play emulators.

[mdzcpa]

Sticking with the PC. Nothing can touch a mouse and keyboard.

Consoles make nice toys for my kids though.

[SexyMF]

Consoles are getting better. But are just a different experience than PCs. Ironically enough consoles are actually becoming more like PCs. That is, HDDs, CPUs, XGA+ resolutions.

[yaddam205]

Hmm, should I rephrase that then? Cause I'm a PC only guy atm, then with Wii ill be both.

[Soulburner]

PS3 + PC here.

Wii is a possibility. XBox 360, likely not. There will be a lot of sweet games that will be 360 only, but it's too much like a PC to me. Therefore, PS3 + PC.

[[XC] MarioMaster]

wii for me :)

[Silver Bullet]

Got me a X360 and plan on a PS3 .. i leave Wii for the kids ;)

[gr8golf]

I guess I just like the constant evolution of PC hardware and the cutting edge games that push the envelope. I went to 1GB RAM for one reason - Far Cry needed it to run smoothly. I also went from a 9800 Pro to a 6800GT to run Fary Cry better. I am probably going to upgrade my rig to Conroe for one simple reason - the new Crysis may be a game that can use the extra processing power. Console games are *okay*, and it is a much larger market than the PC gaming market. But the most impressive technology is always in the PC game market. I've always hoped that the XBox platform would evolve closer and closer to PC technology, and that coding games for the XBox would essentially be coding them for the PC. Don't know how close the two are today though.

[Squid_Spit]

Either X360 or PS3, my brother will most likely purchase the wii.

[Shift]

I'm going with the PS3.

The 360 has no good games now or on the horizon. I mean Gears of Wars and Dead Rising won't last them forever. PS3 will have better graphics, it will have memory slots, and free online play.

PS3 all the way!

XBox 360 has a lot of sweet games on the horizon. Gears of War, Halo 3, Lost Planet, Mass Effect, and F.E.A.R., are all 360-only games. Others are BioShock and Prey but they will also be on PC (but not PS3).

PS3 also has a lot of good games on the horizon:

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Assassin's Creed
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Final Fantasy XIII
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Heavenly Sword
Resistance: Fall of Man
Rainbox Six: Vegas
WarHawk

Others that will also be on the PC (but not XBox):
Unreal Tournament 2007

All systems have good games coming that would make them a good buy. But there will be many more in the years to come as well, and we can't look into the future.

After the dissapointment of Halo 2, I wouldn't trust Halo 3, and that's about the only thing the Xbox has.
I'm really looking foward to Assasin's Creed. It looks like Prince of Persia, but much bigger and more detailed. And as always, MSG is a must!

Also there was that other PS3 game that I forgot the name of. It was on the cover of Electronic Gaming Monthly (I think that was the right one). The cover was two men with guns wearing hocky masks, and the game looks so sweet. I'll try to go to Barnes and Noble to find the name.

Also I hate paying for online play, and the PS3 will have far better graphics!!

[biZZarre]

PC!

Consoles suck, get a gamepad and save some money

[Shift]

PC!

This is why I hate when people compare consoles and computers. PCs cost thousands while a consle costs about 400 - 500 bucks. Console is all gaming and PCs can do a variety of things. To me it's like comparing a bike to a car.

[Praxis1452]

Wii. If I have a powerful computer for personal gaming the Wii is for party fun =) looks AMAZINg with friends over.

[Altieri]

Well, of course I will stick with my PC. I also already have a 360 and I am personally very excited for Gears of War, Mass Effect, and loads of others I have compiled in a text file. Also, if the Wii is at a good price I may also pick that up. I'm sure as hell not going near a PS3, though.

[psyconut713]

i plan on buying alot of ps3's and selling them, makes some $$$$ like the xbox 360 guys did last year. hopefuly i'll make enough for a new conroe/k8l rigg, or just put it in savings. either way, wii is the only system i would buy to own

[Shift]

I don't know why a PC is even an option in this list...

[Rare1]

I already have a 360, I might go for the PS3 after I use someone elses first. No launch day insano stuff for me anymore.

[Baldrick]

If I have enough money the Wii although I'll probably just spend it on my pc.

[neaky6]

most likely ps3 but will make my my mind up when it comes out and for sure pc aswell

[SamHughe]

Workstation! It can do everthing PCs and consoles do and then some more ;)

[hausner]

i have psx , ps2 and now im waiting for ps3

sony < 3 :P

[vudoodoodoo]

Wiii for the wiiin. :D

[Larry]

If i had a job and some money i would buy parts for my pc then if any money left over a PS3

[Mat347]

My hardcore gaming is on PC...the Wii is for the kiddie games we play when we get drunk...smash bros has been a huge hit on the game cube!

[[XC] Lead Head]

Why do people ascociate nintendo with kiddie games? Do you even have the system? No. So don't make asumptions. Theres plenty of ultra voilent-hard core games for the gamecube

[IMCL85]

I will get PS3 and WII to my collection along with my 360 and my new comp. so generally all of the above.

[[XC] leviathan18]

ppl associate nintendo with mario and mario style games but they forget last gen all RE game were for GC and now developers want to experiment with the new controller that looks good for FPS and games with blades

[Magnj]

Wii ftw.

[Metroid]

Wii all the way :toast:

[noTe]

I'll be going for the Wii also.

I still will probably get the PS3 but for only two reasons:

Blu-Ray DVD Player
Gran Turismo HD

[NoPeace]

I already have 2 XBOX360 (UK and US versions) and I will be getting my wife a Wii when it comes out. Also going to get a PS3 once MSG4 or FFXIII comes out but not before unless they release some sort of impressive game.

NoPeace - out

[norse]

I think the wii looks really really fun, just don't know if it could break my CS:S addiction.

[flclisgreat]

PS3 ftw!!!!!!!

all i realy want is MGS4 and Gran Turismo 5.

[nn_step]

WII because I love their Open Source Community

[dominos789]

I think I've outgrown consoles.

[xinglei]

ps3 for sure
I love final fantasy and metal gear soild

[MrDeeds]

I've got the 360 already. The wii would have to have some great exclusives or innovative games before i'd even look its way.

I'd like to say i wouldnt consider a ps3 because of the rapist price but i know that if its ends being leaps ahead of my 360 i will buy one.

[Celcius]

I'll stick with my pc for the time being....

2 or 3 years from now when systems are cheap again, I'll get either a X360 or PS3.

[IMCL85]

WII, 360 and PC no focking sony's stupid joke 699 for a peice of #!$*.

[BlaqMale]

Wii and pc for me

[afireinside]

Probably an x360 for gears of war, maybe a wii, possible none.

[serious1]

whichever one gets a mouse and keyboard attachment first and is under $200 with $20 games:D .

[eallan]

How bout an option for all 3 :)

[angel_dust]

I gioing for the PS3, if it ever gets released over here :(

[WeaponII]

Considering the investors of the PS3 are dropping like flies I'm definently considering the Nintendo Wii (I wish they kept the 'Revolution' name).

I already own a Xbox360, not very happy with it.

[d94]

got a 360, ill prolly sell it once wii comes out to replace it :P

[Arkangyl]

I plan to keep the PC current enough, already have a 360 at home (I'm at college, the 360 stays because my brother's still at home). Fully intend to get a Wii though, pending how things work out I might get my own 360 if the prices drop and I move into an apartment sometime in the near future

[specv]

somewhat of a tough survery. Because obviously people wont be getting a 360 if they already have one since its a year old. So it shouldnt have been included Wii versus PS3 this holiday versus the PC seems to make more sense to me

[vitaminc]

Wii FTW!!!

There are just better games on Wii. Mario, Mario Cart, Smash Bro, and Zelda!!

[x-kid]

i've already got a 360 but will probably purchase a wii too.

[[XC] Teroedni]

I was not going to buy any console, but after seing a wii preview movie im actually consider if i should Buy one.
Look at this one
http://norgadget.com/?p=599


It remains to see if Wii will have problems with the new controllers or if all will work like it is intended to do. But hopefully it will work as planned:D

[ChongL]

Still gonna buy a PS3...for GT5 and Final Fantasy :p

[yaddam205]

Thats a great trailer, I'm hoping Nintendo can get passed the whole E rated thing and get more mature FPS on there.

[lordkelmain]

I've always been a nut for Ubisoft's Prince of Persia series (the recent ones, not the arcade puzzlers). They took the team that made Sands of Time so great and put them to work elsewhere - and apparently that other project is Assassin's Creed (http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/) [ubi.com].

It's for the PS3, and it's for this game only (http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=2581) [gametrailers.com] that I'll be getting one. They'll likely have the PC and Xbox360 versions out, but it looks pretty sweet on the PS3.

Anyway, nothing beats a mouse and keyboard for all-around gaming.

[punisher69]

the biggest reason for me to buy a ps3 is the final fanasty series and it will be a while before a ps3 emu is out ps2 emu isnt even complete yet so i think im going to be forced to buy a ps3 to play the next-gen final fantasys

Hopefully that FF VII clip they demoed really does come out as a game.

lol. you happen to have a blu-ray disk drive in your pc? couse if you don't there isn't anyway your gona play a ps3 game on it

[Kingcarcas]

Black Wii for christmas, then an Xbox360 next year at $300 with Xenon at 65nm:toast: Right now i'm enjoying my new PC and PS2 so i'm not in a rush:D

[serious1]

i plan on keeping my pc. However if sony makes a remake of final fantasy 7 i will definately buy a ps3:).

[TheDro]

PS3 when prices go down, even if it takes a year of waiting... that is if the PS3 is just as successful or more successful than the 360. If not, then the Wii.

[Alchemy1]

I am waiting for the price drop on the 360. Once that happens I will purchase one.

[NO1B4ME]

Me 2.

[panda_boy]

I have a 360 at the moment and Im not that impressed by it. I have pre ordered my Wii and ps3 so by march i will have all three.

[neoman]

I will most likely get PS3 because there are no games copared to Gran Tourismo series in PS. There will be new GT HD (5). So my vote is PS3 :) Hope they will be priced reasonobly

[Soulburner]

Actually GT5 is not going to be out for a while. GT HD is a GT4 in High Definition, with a preview included for GT5 in all its PS3 next-gen glory.

[xpsentity]

Wii ftw!

I tried to get a PS3 to hawk on Ebay, but, no luck. :D

[xenium]

gotta love the PC, I mean, next-gen prices are slowwwly creeping up towards a decent gaming comp. And game prices are getting rediculous (at least for the 360/PS3) I mean, 60 bux for one game?

[flavoraid]

My hardcore gaming is on PC...the Wii is for the kiddie games we play when we get drunk...smash bros has been a huge hit on the game cube!


id play wii when I got company since its less degrading than lanning specially if there is girls over :p

that and risk.

RISK IS AMAZING DRUNK..!

[raccoonone]

sticking with PC games myself, at least until they start making MMORPGs for consoles.

[Soulburner]

They started making them years ago.

[jbartlett323]

i've always been a playstation guy... the wii has some promise but i prolly won't get one till the next round of systems comes out... the 360 is absolutly worthless... just didn't impress me in the least...
so my vote: ps3 when they get cheaper, ps2 and computer till that happens!

[ochw]

may get the ps3 to go with my xbox 360

[Quest_7F]

When I'm tired of killing too many peeps on the comp lay in bed and play console. Ounce my body heals im right back on the comp. To bad the ps3 looks like a H-Core Atari/VCR.

[KoHaN69]

Dude, Gears of War, Halo 3, and F.E.A.R. are nto 360 only, they are PC games PORTED to 360
FEAR is also coming to PS3 at launch
Assassin's Creed is coming for all consoles including PC

As far as PS3 goes. I know that in 2014, my PC will emulated all it's games at 5x the graphical quality :D
(7000x5000 SED anyone? ;) )

[SafeFire]

I think Imma get a PS3, Just because of MGS4.

Console or no console, the PC is still my favorite.

[Soulburner]

Dude, Gears of War, Halo 3, and F.E.A.R. are nto 360 only, they are PC games PORTED to 360
No...Gears of War and Halo 3 are being developed FOR the Xbox. If they end up on PC also, great, but they are not ported to the console, but the other way around.

[billdavis]

i got 2 PS 3 preorders and 2 Wii preorders at toys r us

I will be sticking wit my PC just because i just bought it. Will be getting Wii next then ps3 when prices are lower and demand is also lower than now.

[aintz]

xbox 360 or ps3 which everone gets modded first so i can plug a 500gb harddrive on it

[perkam]

DX10 Mainstream VGA.

:p

[syne_24]

I'm not even following consoles anymore. But whichever that has the best sports games coming out, then I might get that.

[UnreaL]

Wii in December.. I might have considered the PS3 instead but Euro launch is march ffs.

PS3 later in year if it turns out to be great!

[|Aegi3|]

Wii no doubt! Considering an xbox360 some after, ps3 is just too much for now at least

[mukmaster]

Well it comes in many boxes and you assemble it your self. I am sticking with a SEGA DC and PC.
