What console/s do you own?

[Jasonbot]

Just wondering about the stats

I own just a 360.

EDIT: If you own an old console and a new one/s just tick the option for the new one/s that you own.

[Jovian9]

360 and Wii

[acxz]

I have a 360. I used to have a PS1 and PS2 but I made the switch this gen.

[tkidBOSTON]

A poll where you could pick multiple answers and just have the 3 choice and none would have been better, imho.

[rezenclowd3]

PS2 with Crystal Chip Pro SLE, Xbox with Xecuter 3 and Xecuter Control Panel 250GB HD, Xbox 360. Out of all of them I like the Xbox the best because it is my network media player, and the PS2 for games. Very few of the next gen games are truly great.

[Cassie]

I have pretty much every console... except for this gen.

[tkidBOSTON]

Oh, and for the record, I have a PS2 and Wii setup... And some old systems lying around unused somewhere.

[Jasonbot]

A poll where you could pick multiple answers and just have the 3 choice and none would have been better, imho.

No, that would get the number of people messed up. That type of poll would show what I already know which is sales figures. This shows how many poeple own more than one so we can weed out all teh rich folk! :D

[iEdd]

As a family, all three in the order they came out, but since I've had the PS3, I haven't touched the 360 once. PS3 + Wii is the best combo for me.

[MacRumorUser]

All three ( plus both handhelds) :)

I will never own a single console as long as there are exclusives I want.... oh and I have a job to pay for them :)

[Mackilroy]

I own all three consoles and a DS Lite. No PSP for me for now.

[Dagless]

Well, technically I only own a PS3. The Wii is the family console in the living room, the 360 is my bros and the PS3 was a gift.

But I picked Wii because it's the only console I play these days.

No handhelds in the poll?

[Jasonbot]

No handhelds in the poll?

They're not really consoles and that would make the poll quite lengthy.

[Ja Di ksw]

Just the Wii. While I would like to have all three, I don't have the time to play them and can't justify the cost, so I just bought my favorite.

One disappointing thing I've noticed, though, is that almost all of my favorite games are from Nintendo (Mario Galaxy, Mario Strikers Charged, Metroid Prime 3, Excite Truck, Wii Sports). I'm still waiting for the mass onslaught of 3rd party games. Though I have to say, I really enjoy/ed Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, and I'm really looking forward to BWii, Medal of Honor 2 (except it doesn't have multiplayer in the same house!!!! WTF!), and Guitar Hero 3. I promised people I wouldn't buy them so they had more Xmas options. Sigh . . . .

Did you buy all those consoles new?

[dukebound85]

yea all besides the gameboy adv sp. also my parents bought alot of the older systems for my brothers and i since we were young.

half my games though are prob used

[GFLPraxis]

Wii!

We're talking about the current generation, of course. I have tons if we count the classics.

I'm debating which of the other two I'll get next year. The XBox 360 has more games I'm interested in CURRENTLY, but not by that much. PS3's hardware seems so much better and it's actually cheaper since I have to have WiFi (XBox 360 + 1 year of Live + WiFi = $500). And I've historically preferred Sony's exclusives to Microsoft's. I don't play console FPS.

[MacRumorUser]

^ You seem to have answered your own debate ;)

[Shotgun OS]

The only next gen I own is a Wii. I saw it in the store and picked it up and never looked back. I have Re:4, Wii Play, and Madden.

The other consoles:
Genesis
Gamyboy
Gameboy Color
(2) Playstation(s)
PS2
Gamecube
DS

..and maybe a used PSP soon.

[GFLPraxis]

^ You seem to have answered your own debate ;)

I've historically preferred Sony's exclusives; but they haven't released any of the ones I like yet :) I see no Kingdom Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Ape Escape, etc style games...Gran Turismo and Ratchet and Clank and Warhawk look good though.

I'm leaning towards a PS3 but if I bought one today I'd run out of games to play on it pretty quick just because I'm picky. I dunno. I think I'll end up with a PS3 if Sony continues to picks up the slack like they have been recently :) But if I bought today I'd find more games of interest on the 360.

[bov]

i've got a Wii and a Xbox 360

[gkarris]

My PS3 is in the mail... :D

So now, I DON'T own a Commodore CD32...

[dukebound85]

i've got a Wii and a Xbox 360

a wii60 you say?

[psychofreak]

Only the 360, but I'll probably get the PS3 when rumble comes to the UK :)

[spyker3292]

I have a Wii (since launch :D), PS3 soon.

[dukebound85]

I have a Wii (since launch :D), PS3 soon.

a pswii you say?

or a pswii60?

haha

[wwooden]

I own a 360 and my girlfriend owns a Wii, even though I play both. My time is probably spend 90-10 toward the 360. Since most of my gaming time is alone and I like FPS, I end up on the 360 so I can play online with friends. It's so hard for me to go from the 360 where everything looks and sounds great to the Wii where it looks like crap on my HDTV with only stereo. I do enjoy Mario Galaxy, but sad to say, the graphics always pull me out from the game. And, I know I am not the norm, but I really can't get into the Wii controller. I know I would personally love Mario Galaxy so much more if I had a regular controller with joysticks instead having to move my hand all around to get the stars and attack enemies. Not that the 360 is perfect, I just got mine back a couple weeks ago from being repaired.

My friend just got a PS3 a week ago, it is really starting to come around since launch. Lots of good games coming out for it now and the system is really starting to show its potential. If I had to choose between the 360 and the PS3 now, I would probably go with the PS3 just because it is a much better value.

[Mitch1984]

I own a Wii and a Dreamcast.

[iEdd]

I know what you mean. As much as a love the wii controller, sometimes it would be nice to kick back and just use a regular (even classic) controller. I especially feel this way when playing any pointing/shooting game as our tv is just too far away from the couch for the sensor bar to work reliably.

[spyker3292]

a pswii you say?

or a pswii60?

haha

PS3 soon

so currently just a Wii

[Dagless]

*shrug* I find the Galaxy controls excellent and a welcome change from the way they've been over the last decade.

Hoping someone makes a split controller for the 360 and PS3 too. I can properly sit back and play a game for once!

[MacRumorUser]

Yeah I agree with this. My favorite wii games are the ones which just use the wii remote on its own. I don't like having the nunchuck. 1 year of use and it still doesnt feel natural to me, and often the cable gets tangled to make matters worse.

OH GOD NO!!! that would be my hell.

[runplaysleeprun]

I think I would like it more if it had a bit of weight to it. It feels a little cheap.

[asxtb]

I've got a PS3 and DS. Used to have a PSP but the PS3 replaced it.

I agree about the Wii controller. I think it's a good idea in theory, but when I get home from work and am tired, the last thing I want to do is be waving my arms around. I'd prefer to just twiddle my thumbs a bit. This is one of 2 issues the caused me to buy a PS3 over the Wii. (Game regions being the other.) It would be great if in the settings of the game you could choose what controller to use, the Wiimote or the classic.

[Martin C]

I've got a 360 as well as a PS3.

[chadrob30]

I've got all 3 plus a PSP...:D

[zelmo]

All 3, plus a PS2 and Xbox still hooked up for the games that aren't yet supported via B/C.
Oh, and a PSP, DS, and two DS Lites.

It's a sickness, it is.:p

[iEdd]

It seems the ideal solution for Wii would be to allow the classic controller to be used as an option, as well as the remote/nunchuk. I'm not a programmer though, so it might be a lot harder than it sounds to support two control styles.

[2nyRiggz]

I own all consoles and handheld and its a blast never having to miss out on anything.

If we are talking about old consoles then I basically own every last one....except the phantom.


Bless

[rezenclowd3]

I really don't enjoy a console unless it can be modded. Then I max out its capabilities (like my xbox, its a network media hub, has about 50 games on the harddrive, and acts as a TV internet station, and has some Tivo-like capabilities) The fun is making it better that how I bought it, unfortunately the latest console mods are boring dvd security work-arounds that really only allow piracy. Im not into piracy, just legal backups and a sweet media hub.

[Zwhaler]

Nintendo 64 and Playstation 3... can't go wrong! Gotta love the original Super Smash Bros :)

I'm not a programmer either, but I would think it would be possible. The PS3 has games that let you chose the 'classic' controls or the Sixaxis controls. I know not quite the same but close enough (unless someone proves me wrong).

If the Wii had a choice of controls, it would have been a lot harder decision. (of course I could have boughten 2 Wiis--a Japanese region and an American region-- for a little more than the price I paid for my PS3. :o

So, you're saying that you have a Jaguar, Neo Geo, Neo Geo CD, 3DO as well? And if we're talking old school: Intellivision, Atari 2600, 5200 and 7800, Odyssey, and Coleco Vision? :)

[JSchwage]

Dreamcast and PS2. I'm a big SEGA fan. I really wish they had continued creating consoles. The PS2 is the last of Sony's consoles I'll ever own. I'm fed up with them.

What's the "phantom"?

Do you have a Pippin, CD-I, Nuon, and CD32?

CD32 is the only one I'm missing...

[MacRumorUser]

^ The Phantom is literally that.... A phantom console / PC hybrid that never materialised.

Though the mouse and keyboard it had designed for it was amazing and should have been released even though the console wasn't.

[gkarris]

Oh, I remember now - I'll have to check for the link. I think there was a PC company what was to put out a "PC" that looked like the Nintendo Revolution (at the time) that was to just be Direct X/Windows XP Lite and play PC games...

[Dagless]

A small PC shop round here have set up something like that. It's a mini PC similar spec to last years iMac. Anyroad they built a nifty interface so it could be used by a regular PC controller. Like a Mac Mini being used as a media centre but for games.

[gkarris]

Here's one "PC Game only console" I found - by Apex...

Still looking for the one that was to copy the Wii...

[gkarris]

No wonder the "phantom" didn't take off.

I did find a PC that looks like the Wii - but it's a full blown PC. Amazing how companies copy off eachother.

I guess the "PC console" thing can never take off - you might as well make it full-blown PC.

Interesting how these "Shuttle PC's" are a lot more money than an Mini...

I've got a Wii (yay) and a PS3. :-)

Thanks for the link to phantom.net - looks like they got rid of the PC console and decided to make it a game "service" instead using the PC you may already have.

It was always going to fail. The whole point about PC games is they're not limited to one piece of hardware. Games for consoles are limited and so they can spend more time eeking out every last bit of power they can whereas PC games can be more sloppy, letting new hardware do the rest. A one year old console is generally still current. A one year old PC graphics card is generally old news.

[AlexH]

PS3/Wii combo here. The PS3 is mainly my solo console. I play stuff like UT3, Oblivion, Rainbow 6 Vegas, etc on the PS3, and the Wii is a great party console.

Okay you one upped me...happy now!:p.....The phantom was suppose to be the end of all consoles man...I wished it did materialized...I woulda bought one.

That APEX one looked sweet....I woulda bought that one as well just to get into PC gaming.

[displaced]

- Wii
- Xbox 360
- Xbox (rarely used now)
- Atari Jaguar (yes, I was one of the ... err ... 7 people who actually bought one)

The Jag still sees quite frequent use. Nothing better than a blast of Tempest 2000 (although I'm also addicted to Space Giraffe on the 360, sort of a spiritual decendent of T2K).

edit: d'oh .. forgot the PSP (virtually never used these days) and my Nintendo DS (fantastic little machine... great fun playing a few Mario Kart races online whilst in the bath ;))

[Brianstorm91]

N64 is still my favourite :)

[twoodcc]

right now i've got:

Wii
Xbox 360
PS2 slim


i might be getting a PS3 soon though

[Victor ch]

-Wii (got it today!!)
-PS3 (60GB)
-PS2 (thick first generation)
-Gamecube (black)
-PS1 (smaller, white version)
-PS1 (original)
-Nintendo DS (original one, gray)
-XBOX (hate it, only Halo is worth it)
-Gameboys: Pocket (dark green), Color (lime green), Advance (original color), Advance SP (cool red-rusty).
-Dreamcast (No comments)
-N64

I probably will buy the up-coming "trio" (Nintendo, Sony, Microsh*t) except for the XBOX, first one sucked, don't like 360 and any new one will probably be rejected, as for Nintendo and Sony I will get their new products; current ones are extremely good, Wii: very very fun, PS3: astonishing playing experience.

My gamerscore is pretty crappy. Around 8500 but this is after two years of play :o

[iEdd]

The achievement system is just a new form of post whoring, now in gaming. It's not even consistent, as some games will have a nice glitch for you to jack up your points. I'd say it's a pretty damn good marketing strategy though as plenty of people get addicted to "working their ass off" for achievements. ;)

[paintballer]

I have all three. :)

I'd like to get 360 eventually, but since my roommate just got an Elite for Christmas (along with Halo 3, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero 3), I think I can hold off for a bit. ;)

My most used are the PS2 and my Nintendo DS, but I also have a Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo 64. I went on a PC gaming spree for a while, but not so much anymore. Age of Empires III is the only PC game I really ever play anymore.

I likely won't dabble in next-gen systems for a while yet. Still too expensive while my PS2 is still useful.

[MacRumorUser]

They haven't replaced the ngage with a specific phone, basically all N70 upwards models will be able to play games launched from their new NGAGE game service which launches early next year...
