I'm sure all the new systems will launch at $299.99 as is the precedence, Nintendos may launch cheaper though.

Sony said they'd make their system have the power of 100 pentium 4 processors. If amazingly they can, wont it cost WAY too much money? I know they're not gonna make it have the power of 100 pentium fours.

It won't be that expensive by the time the console actually launches. Plus, a company almost always loses money on the actual console. It's the software where they recoup costs and turn a profit.

Whatever Nintendo puts out, then it depends on games wether i pick up xbox or PS first. Im going to start collecting my systems now, so it may be a long time off before i pick up the later system

I wanted to get an xbox with the 200 bucks I got left over but I knew sister, and parents would get angry. Where'd I put it anyway?

CrimsonGeist

10-01-2004, 08:04 PM

I just want Xbox 2 so I can get games like Halo 2 ad Ninja Gaiden. If it didnt have backwords compatibility, I wouldn't buy it this time either.

Im definetely waiting on the PS2. My thing had disc read problem and I bought another one. I really regret doing that.

All 3, but only when the Price drops happen.

10-01-2004, 11:51 PM

Nintendo's is codenamed "Revolution" not GameSphere (yes I'm aware of the South Park episide :)). Anyway, I'll be getting Nintendo's first because GameCube is clearly my fav of the three right now.

Go gamesphere!!!!

beerguy961

10-02-2004, 01:48 AM

I'd better be able to get an Okama Gamesphere by the next console generation. Provided that isn't available, Xbox Next, erm, 2, whatever.

You hear about that launch title Thrist For Blood? Looks awesome...

Trakan

10-02-2004, 01:58 AM

I bought all 3 of these gen consoles at launch price. :( I think I'll buy one to hold me over until the other two come way down in price. Probably will be the Xbox 2.

fuck sony, and nintendo is just lame.

10-02-2004, 10:40 AM

I will buy the Xbox 2 at launch, pick up the PS3 after the first price drops and maybe the Nintendo product after the 2nd round of price drops depending on its library.

daria19

10-02-2004, 06:34 PM

I will wait until the prices come down and see what games are available, etc. The only system that I ran out and bought when it first came out was the game boy advance a couple of years ago.

Admiral Ackbar

10-02-2004, 06:52 PM

Whichever I can get the cheapest. ;)

Xbox 2

10-02-2004, 09:50 PM

I think that Ill get the Xbox 2 first (as long as it has a strong launch lineup and a built in hard drive), and then wait for a price drop or two to get Sony's and Nintendo's systems. Ill be in college when the next gen systems are out, so it might be awhile before I get them all.

Legolas813

10-02-2004, 10:04 PM

supposedly microsoft is dropping the hard drive for their next console http://xbox.ign.com/articles/553/553059p3.html
that said, i will still stay loyal to xbox

epobirs

10-02-2004, 10:15 PM

I'd say it's much too early to make any plans beyond the Nintendo DS. Everything else is vaporware or at the least lacking price and battery life data.

I don't think i'm going to be anywhere near caught up with my current backlog of games for at least two years, and that still leaves hundreds of games within this generation that are not yet in my library or have yet to be released. So I don't feel any great hurry. My TV is starting to show its age, too. It was quite high end for the mid-90's but that was long ago. Now that DLP resolution and prices are reaching the numbers I've long awaited I'm probably going to invest in a new screen before any new consoles.

mikefust

10-02-2004, 10:27 PM

Not sony first, that's for sure.

Bought Playstaion 1 the day it came out. Everyone knows all those were defective.

Bought Playstion 2. Started having trouble readiing disks. My friend who works at Gamestop says they all end up like that sooner or later . . .

Lesson learned :never buy anything Sony unless its been out for a while and has been remodled like PSOne, PS2+ for example .

I think Sony does it on purpose. A higher installed base means they can charge higher royalties. They inflate that number by making people buy more than one Playstation. How many people do you know that are on their second or third PS2?

If you buy Sony consoles soon after they come out, your're a sucker.

dcfox

10-02-2004, 10:27 PM

I will most likely be picking up the next Nintendo console first. And unless they start porting over Final Fantasy and MGS to Nintendo's console, it looks like I'm stuck buying a PS3 as well. Damn exclusives.

CaseyRyback

10-02-2004, 10:41 PM

where ever NAMCO, CAPCOM, KONAMI, and SEGA publish most of their games

Nirvanaguy777

10-06-2004, 10:17 PM

well now i have gamecube and ps2, so ill go with the next gen for those companies

FrankySox

10-07-2004, 01:03 AM

When the PS2 came out I waited in line forever to get it, I probably wont get any next generation systems when they come out as I will try to build my software collection up from this generation. However I'll probably buy the Xbox2 first.

integralsmatic

10-07-2004, 01:16 AM

Dunno whatever has Armored Core ill get. and it most likely will be the PS3.

Hereticked

10-07-2004, 01:50 AM

PS3 at launch.

Xbox 2 / next-gen Nintendo when they drop in price and/or actually have more than 2 games I give a rats ass about.

greendc27

10-07-2004, 02:27 AM

It depends. The system that comes out with a game I really want will probably get me since it's too expensive to own them all.

prisonerac

10-07-2004, 03:13 AM

For me I usually end up waiting at least a year or two for the new systems to be out and then I pick-up the system with the games I want the most. Of course in previous years I wasn't on CAG, so maybe I will score a cool deal and actually get one (Probably a PS3) within a year of release.

BTW: I just noticed it after I was done typing, but CAG seems like the name of a drug in this post.

Chuckiefresh

10-07-2004, 05:47 AM

It's really too early for me to say for sure but I'm leaning more towards the xbox 2 over the ps3. As far as Nintendo goes, my wife and I have our first baby due this December so maybe when he gets a little older (maybe 4 or 5) I'll hook him up with whatever nintendo console is out at the time.

I currently own a xbox and ps2. Fortunately, I didn't buy a ps2 until long after the initial release date.

So what was Sony's official response to it's customers with the defective ps2's? Were they willing to admit they were wrong and foot the repair bill or did they just say "Shaq fu on the customers, they'll buy another one" (in so many words)?

If I do pick up a first generation ps3 I'll probably dish out the extra cash for an in-store warranty. I despise buying those warranties and rarely do, but in this case I think prior history warrants it.

I have them all now, so I don't see why I would do anything dfferent next round.

uesc

10-07-2004, 08:18 AM

Xbox @ launch

PS3 maybe if it's cheap enough a year after launch and there's some games i really want.

Nintendo never, i'll wait until i can pick it up for 50 bucks like the gamecube

cyberlian

10-07-2004, 08:49 AM

PS3 at lanch if there is a GTA game, otherwise I'll wait and get all 3 when the price drops on 'em and I'll pick them up used from pawn shops, which is the way I got all of the current systems....

svsaith

10-07-2004, 08:51 AM

Nintendo Revolution & PS3

WarrenGekko

10-07-2004, 09:46 AM

I am leaning toward just Xbox 2 or PS3.

WarrenGekko

10-07-2004, 09:51 AM

I'll almost certainly get the PS3. I have a PS2 and a GC from this generation and I've found I don't have the time to get the most out of 2 systems. I have more PS2 games than GC games, and hardly ever even use the Cube anymore. My son does, but it will hold him through this next generation.

I won't be a launch day buyer this this time, though. I was apparently very lucky this time around, because the PS2 I bought the day the system launched has never given me any problems. Hearing about all the trouble so many other original PS2s have had, I feel like I really dodged a bullet. Next time around, I'll let Sony iron out all the bugs and maybe pick one up with the first price drop.

You took the words out of my mouth. I have the exact same experience. I have all three but never use the gamecube or xbox as I have more PS2 games.

I was also given a PS2 from launch and it still works just fine. However, if the hype is huge for the PS3 (or any of the other consoles) like the PS2 was, I am definitely going to be a launch buyer and sell those consoles on ebay for double.

jasonq97

10-07-2004, 10:31 AM

all of them.

miniarnold

10-07-2004, 11:49 AM

I'll have to see what launch and other early release titles will be available for each system before I decide. I am leaning right now towards the PS3, but I will need to see my game choices before I make my final decision.

Like some have mentioned, I will wait until after at lease one price drop before I pick up the other two systems.

I've still got quite a backlog of games from this gen to finish before I think too much about next Gen.

unisol

10-07-2004, 01:13 PM

I will purchase Xbox 2, and PS3 at launch. For the first time, I think I'll pass on getting a Nintendo system.

Magician

10-07-2004, 01:35 PM

I'll pass on buying the systems at launch. I have enough games in this generation, and I doubt I'll ever get through them.

That said, I'm almost certainly not buying the Xbox2. Revolution or the PS3 will be my choices.

Grave_Addiction

10-07-2004, 02:12 PM

It all depends on Nintendo for me.

If they come right out and say they are fully supporting online gaming and have a platform similar to Xbox Live and are still the cheaper console, I will most definitely go with them.

But if they remain hesistant with online gaming, like they have in the past, I plan to wait for the first rounds of price drops and get the Xbox 2.

Because of Sony's severe lack of hardware dependability, I won't touch a first-gen PS3 with a 10-foot pole.

morpheusxp

10-07-2004, 02:38 PM

Xbox Next,Halo 3 and Ninja Gaiden 2 will be the must have titles for the next generation.

his_dudeness20

10-07-2004, 02:43 PM

I'll still be in college, and still be poor. After a year or two and a price drop I'll look at Nintendo then Xbox 2, but I may not even get one then. I'm spending less and less time playing games. I won't get a PS3. Between PS1 and PS2 the only exculsives I give a damn about were FFT, SotN, and DDR Max 2 (which isn't even really exclusive anyway). I've fallen in love with so many N64, Gamecube, and Xbox games in that time, but I haven't seen much on PS that's ever interested me.

sadunclesnugglez

10-07-2004, 02:45 PM

I too have a launch day PS2 and have never had a problem, but i will most likely pick up an Xbox 2 first.

msdmoney

10-07-2004, 02:51 PM

I will get all 3, but Nintendo first. I must have Nintendo exclusives.

CrimsonGeist

drsuper23

01-12-2005, 10:46 PM

I own all of the current next gen systems and I don't think that it's going to change for the next gen.

GenDV138

01-12-2005, 10:53 PM

I'll probably get the PS3 and Nintendo console at launch, and wait awhile before I get Xbox 2.

01-12-2005, 10:57 PM

xbox, followed by sony, and maybe nintendo, if they don't have a crappy controller again

Xtreme331

01-12-2005, 10:59 PM

I'm probably going to get a PS3 first, then i'll pick up an Xbox2 at some point down the road... hell i dunno. i just got my xbox.. i got a lot of games to catch up on!

jam3582

01-12-2005, 11:00 PM

id get all at launch cause im someone who dosent really care how crappy the system launch is id just want the new systems there in my house.

CapAmerica

01-12-2005, 11:01 PM

Nintendo at Launch
Xbox2 and PS3 when the first price drop happens or the first really good game comes out I want.

Birakon

01-12-2005, 11:05 PM

xbox 2 and revolution, fuck sony

bfg9k

01-12-2005, 11:06 PM

I will probably get them all, but will try to hold out for the first price drop. I will most likely get the ones that have backward compatability before the ones that don't.

lmk29o

01-13-2005, 04:49 PM

My first choice is Revolution GameCube 2

Second i thought was going to be xbox2 since the xbox is my 2nd, but it is coming out first of all the systems and unless it hits it off great(I don't think so if Sony and Nintendo are waiting) im going to go with PS2 as my second choice or my second purchase.

The xbox is going to suck if it comes out first, because it will be the worst system, Sony and Nintendo will make their systems lots better with that extra time, where as Nintendo and Sony have to work to make their systems better than they think eachother will make theirs. I don't think Microsoft is capable of taking the headstart and making a killing with it the way PS2 did.

tornadomann

01-13-2005, 04:53 PM

I hope to get all of the next gen systems. Maybe.

zionoverfire

01-13-2005, 04:58 PM

PS3, the PS1 and 2 have served me very well so the first system I will buy will be a PS3. Now if the Xbox2 and Revolution show enough promise I'll probably also pick them up.

swetooth9

01-13-2005, 04:59 PM

i will probably wait until the consoles drop down to about the 150-200 area before buying one...but i will probably buy the PS3...i think it will be the "Xbox" of the next gen since it will come out later and most likely have the better hardware...but who knows? if xbox2 is backwards compatible, i may get that...

morpheusxp

01-13-2005, 06:11 PM

Xenon/Xbox Next/Xbox2

JohnnyDrama

01-14-2005, 02:03 PM

probably Xbox2

Mouse

01-14-2005, 06:16 PM

If Nintendo's 'Revolution' screams Virtual Boy, I'll go with the PS3, but only out of desperation. If I get Nintendo's, I'd wait till the Revision B or C PS3 and pick that up (hopefully after price drop) and lastly, I'd get the Xenon, only after serious price drops and discounts. Probably used as well.

crowbb

01-14-2005, 06:21 PM

I'll probably buy one at launch price. Which one depends on the game selection at the time. I'm mostly an RPG player so whoever brings out a must buy RPG first will be what I get. After the first price drop I usually pick up all the remaining systems.

daria19

01-16-2005, 06:45 PM

I will wait until the price drops before even thinking of buying any of these. I also want to see them in action first.

Of the current generation, I bought the xbox first when it dropped to $199.

ItsTrueItsTrue92

01-16-2005, 07:01 PM

I'll most definitely be getting a PS3. I only use my Xbox for multi-platform games because of the hard drive and the graphics are better. I don't like Halo 2, so a sequel will not interest me. About the new Nintendo console, I'll get it eventually because I like the exclusive games. However, I only bought one GC game last year (Twin Snakes) and I bought RE4 this year. PS2 has all the things I need right now, and if I had to drop Xbox and Gamecube, I would.

regisphilbi0

01-16-2005, 07:18 PM

Xbox 2, easy. I have XBOX and GC, and XBOX definitely gets the most use. I'm just praying the XBOX has backward compatibility (then I only have to lug one system to college). I might also pick up a PS2, to catch up on those games I missed, and take that to college.
