What console are you buying and for what game?
polycount sponsor
So I'm waiting for all three consoles to hit stores before I make my decision, I usually only own one console at a time, the wii looks really fun but does not have any of my favourite single player franchises. What is your console of choice and what particular game or games are you purchasing it for?

halo 3 appeals, as does halo wars
Wii interests me, but i'm uncertain if i'll actually get one or not yet. and ps3 doesn't appeal to me right now. no games have yet to make me stain my pants yet.
I love my 360 - Ghost Recon, Battlefield, Lego Star Wars, Project Gotam - all excellent games.
Dead Rising is actaully a steaming turd after a while. It reeks of lack of focus testing, and I fell ruined a nice sandbox game with tedious boss fights.
Gears of War is the next purchase on my list - then it'll be a whole year before GTA owns you.
I'll likely get a Wii next summer, Mario Galaxy has me intrigued.
As for the PS3, doesn't look awfully interesting. Assassin's Creed and MGS3 don't look bad, but nothing worth buying a console for.
The 360 isn't awfully interesting either, to me. I hated the first Halo, because of its awful map design, and H2 wasn't much fun when not in co-op either. Dead Rising seems a bit too sandboxy, and not really fun once you've found all the weapons; after all, the AI is virtually nonexistant. Gears of War gameplay seems to be cover-shoot-cover-shoot, which isn't revolutionary. Though the environments look nice, the story is pretty much a lousy clich
I want to get a wii, as well. Already have zelda reserved for it.
I might get the ps3 in a few years, or something.
I remember an article a few months back, pitty I can't find it now but it was with a studio exec (I think he was an EA sub studio) and he was asked a question like why don't you take chances on inovative games, why do you keep making the same thing and reselling it as new each year? His answer was something along the lines of "Because that is what the gamers want, when they grow tired of it they will let us know with thier purchusing power".
I think the support for the Wiivolution is just that, a vote for change. I'm not sure if the Wii will actually have any good games or if I will even like it 6mo after launch but I'll buy one to cast my vote that the current trend to toss fun out the window and try to impress gamers with pixel stats, isn't working.

I have a 360, there are a few games I enjoy playing that list is starting to grow. Next I will buy a Wii and MAYBE if Sony comes out with a must have game that I can only get on the PS3 such as a remake of FF7 then I will buy one, play that game to death and trade it in as soon as I am done.
I'm very tempted to get the Wii, since it's backwards compatible I'll be selling my Gamecube...I certainly hope the Wii gets more 3rd party games, I am a big fan of Nintendo's main franchises, but I'd like a little more than just Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Star Fox and Kirby. (I know they do a ton of spin offs but the latest Mario Kart or Smash Bros doesn't interest me much at all).
will probably get a 2nd gen PS3. wii - well, it's overpriced for what it can do imho and the typical nintendo stuff is of no interest to me. unless there's great 3rd party support this time around, i will not buy another dust collector (looks at the gamecube).
i have too many toys to play with in the meantime, so it's not urgent in any way.
I'm curious about the PS3 for Heavenly Sword though I think Sony still need to pull themselves together a bit more before I will fork out the money though if they announced tomorrow that Wipeout would be a launch title I'd slap the money down now!
I've not really paid much attention to the Wii yet as I have plenty already to play!
r.
But somewhere along the line I'll get a Wii for Zelda + Mario + Metroid, and because I can actually afford it.
6 years from now, I'm so gonna get a PS3. It will be hard to avoid MGS4 spoilers for that long, though.

I think Mario Kart and Smash Bros on the Gamecube are probably the most fun multiplayer experiences I have had on any console.
but there's not many games that are peaking my interest.

*ahem* I think you mean "pique." It's a common mistake, since most people usually hear the word spoken, not written.

Yeah. I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to hear the word written. :P
...unless the person pressed really hard with his pen, of course.
