I'll be getting a 360 for sure at some point.

Possibly a Rev depending on the online gaming set up.

Maybe a PS3, again depending on online gaming set up and games.

Hmm probably get a 360 cause its out first lol.
Microsoft will go all out with support, the graphix will be amazing.

I seriously dont see anything in getting a PS3, at best it will have games = (on par) with the Xbox.

that and a Revolution should be all i need. bye bye PC gaming.

It would be an Xbox 360 for me.

Probably end up getting them all. I'm getting a 360 at launch, I'll get a rev and I'll get a PS3. PS3 has Makai Wars, lovely Nippon Ichi Software goodness. ^_^

Probably X360 and Rev to begin with, PS3 if the features come to fruition. PS3 would be an instant sell if they start shipping it with a Linux OS on it, though.

Xbox 360 first. and then a Revolution.. and then a PAL revolution... and then some time... in the future.. when the price is right...a PS3.

I'll most likely buy a 360 on/near launch, and I'm sure to buy a Revolution as soon as it's released in Europe.

PS3 is still a maybe. I'll pick one up at some point, but that might not be until it's been around for a year or so. Or the PSThree is released.

Xbox 360 for Christmas, most probably the Revolution if the games are any good.

I'll get the PS3 if there are any games I really, really want.

Rev and Xbox 360, my bro will undoubtedly get a PS3.

Enigma

It´s very unlikely, but if it´s anything other than the Revolution, it´ll be a PS3. Definitely no 360.

06-10-2005, 02:34 PM

Knowing me I'g get all three eventually. But I am getting a 360 at launch and planning to buy a revolution at launch. The playstation 3 will proberbly have to wait though.

Mr. Bananagrabber

06-10-2005, 03:54 PM

360 is a must. I will be getting a Rev and will probarbly skip the PS3 unless something like Skies Of Arcadia 2 comes out for it.

dukkadukka

06-10-2005, 03:56 PM

ps3 will be my first console, but there are a lot of games that interest me for the 360, so if they turn out well i'll probably buy one at some point.

360 for xmas or my b-day then will get rev day of launch

Revolution is my 'secondary console'.

Xbox 360 all the way.

06-10-2005, 05:51 PM

I'll get 'em all. TBH, the Rev is looking like the "secondary" one for me.

DiemetriX

06-10-2005, 05:53 PM

I'm only buying rev as a second console because 360 launches first.

Sprout

06-10-2005, 05:56 PM

I'll end up owning them all most likely. Xbox 360 this Christmas, Revolution at launch and PS3 whenever it fits a reasonable price tag for me.

06-10-2005, 06:16 PM

Rev and 360 are musts for me, PS3 I'll wait and see.

Are you sure you want to miss out on games like Perfect Dark Zero, Enchant Arm, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Fable 2 etc? Xbox 360 is a must buy for any self respecting gamer, I'd say. Maybe not at launch, but the games on the way look fab (if you ignore the hoards of generic FPS and war games... although having said THAT, The Outfit looks fantastic fun with it's humorous light-hearted take on WW2).

Revolution and the 360 are pretty close in my book. Mainly due to lack of Revolution game information. Meanwhile the 360 has tons of games I'd love to get my hands on. Unless Revolution can step it up, Xbox 360 will no longer be my second choice. in that case, Revolution.

i think if i ever have to tuch the sex box controller angain willingley or in an involentrey spasm i will throw it with the brick of a system not far behind, so in that case it has to be a ps3 after the the rev................360 no time for u mate weres my twilight princes im turnin in to a bloody wolf waitin.......u dont want to see me angry!

Rev all the way. I won't buy a PS3, but I would atleast consider it. I would never in a million years get a 360. I hate the xbox and this seems to be more of the same....

Sarka

I'll get a Revo at launch and a 360 sometime in a couple of years time.

Xbox 360 and Revolution for me.

My criteria for purchasing a console, in order:

- Who is EAD developing for?
- Are there a significant number of interesting quirky titles? (Katamari, Ico, Pikmin, etc)
- Who is Capcom developing for?
- Who is Namco developing for?
- Which system has the most RPGs?

Because of this I purchased Nintendo's console as well as Sony's this generation; but not Microsoft's. I suspect the same will be true of the next generation, though I hear Sony is losing a lot of third party support.

Owen

07-10-2005, 02:03 PM

Getting a Xbox360 on launch, then i will see the release dates for Revolution, if Europe are WAY behind USA i will import one probably, although i'm hoping Nintendo have learnt by there mistakes and start releasing European games the same-time as USA ones!

My brother is getting a PS3, i'm not too keen as of yet!

I think the revo would be my secondary console tbh. There won't be many games coming out for it (IMO) except some true classics and thats why I also bought my GC, for those rare ninty classic games that aren't available elsewhere.

PS3, I simply need more time to make up my mind. I need more info about it in order to make my decision.

However even though I class the revo as my secondary console, I can't make up my own mind on my PRIMARY console. The 360 ain't looking that great tbh. I'm just not impressed by the launch games they have announced for it yet and they seem to be continuing the trend of releasing very generic games, i.e shooting, war, sports etc that is a bit bland. Other then that, If I want a console which has the same games but with "Superb graphics!!", online play and all that HDTV shit, then yeh, I would go for the 360. :hmm:

07-10-2005, 05:11 PM

I'll probably be going with a Xbox360, at least for this generation - my bro had a Xbox which was pretty cool. I like a lot of the franchises, like Halo, Project Gotham and it looks like Rare are finally getting round to releasing some damn games. It'll also be cheaper then the PS3, but thats got some great franchises too - Metal Gear Solid, Gran Tourismo and all the best F1 games. And Sly Racoon - man, I LOVE Sly Racoon. All of this is secondary to the Revolution though. I'll maybe buy that a year after launch to stock up my collection on nice and cheap second-hand games, and then maybe get a 360 a year after that. By then prices should be way down.

I am not one to get a 2nd console but if i had to i would consider getting a PS3. I dont know what I have against X-Box but it seems I NEVER liked it.

Bluejay

07-10-2005, 06:57 PM

A 360 if either definately, it has a fair few games that interest me where PS3 has few so far but I don't i'll get either for a couple of years anyway. PD0 does look pretty sweet though. Also the online play is a big plus on the 360 so 360 if either but most likely not.

dazzybee

07-10-2005, 10:40 PM

Might just stick with a Revolution, NEVER been satisfied with a non-nintendo console since the Master System (and ive had them all before anyone says anything).
Might get a 360 if
- Ive got a few hundred quid lying around and theres a few GREAT games i want
- Kameo and Perfect Dark are THAT good
- Pro EVo or Winning ELeven and other 3rd party games don't come out for the revolution

The PS3 is almost a guaranteed no-no for me, unless they have some particular exclusive games I want, though I couldn't think of ONE that could possibly be!!

Smalldude76

07-10-2005, 11:20 PM

though I couldn't think of ONE that could possibly be!!

MGS 4 and Lair are the only two that even capture my attention.

Domstercool

07-10-2005, 11:41 PM

For me, PS3 games that have been announced that I want are MGS4, DMC4, Makai Wars, Shin Megami Tensei, FFXIII.

I need Makai atleast, It's Nippon Ichi Software, that is all that is needed to be said.

im getting an xbox360 for my birthday this year, and then ill buy a revolution whenever its released.

Shenlong

08-10-2005, 11:40 PM

Um as of yet, revo is only console i'm interested in remotely, the remote seems like a great idea, but even that isn't set in cement as i need to see the games. And nothing on the PS3 warrants a purchase of it yet, i mean MGS4 made me wet my pants and all, but i can imagine sony slapping a hefty price on it, and that coupled with the fact no other PS3 game has caught my attention yet doesn't make it seem worth it (granted thats only looking at the games announced so far) Now if ff7 was to be released though i'd snap that machine up quicker then....well i dunno what but quicker then something

...oh and domster when was Shin Megami announced for PS3? any pics or video clips or anything?

I've not really thought about the Xbox 360 to be honest as i don't have the cash at the moment, but a few of my mates have pre ordered it so i can always get a sample of it then reconsider.

If i get another system apart from the rev. it will be a 360, though i may just uipdate my pc even more.

15-10-2005, 08:41 PM

Revolution, if I get one at all, will be the only console I get. Never in my life gonna get a PS3, Xbox 360 could be considered if the Revo don't turn out too great.

JonSt

15-10-2005, 09:00 PM

360 at launch, then possibly revo if it convinces me enough. Only ps3 if it has a kick ass final fantasy title.

masaki86

18-10-2005, 12:05 AM

My seconadary choice is the revolution. The PS3 will most likely be my main console in the next gen.

Pit-Jr

18-10-2005, 03:57 AM

The only non-Nintendo console ive ever purchased was a Dreamcast. Im considering getting a 360 though for the simple reason that its every bit as capable as the PS3, it looks decent, the price is right, and i honestly believe MOST 3rd party games will be developed on it first. Sony hasnt recieved a penny of my money ever since i bought a Sony 5-disc CD Changer that lasted a whopping 3 months. No way am i investing that much money in a company with such a shoddy record of quality.
