We promised to have some listener polls...here is the first (and most obvious) one.
Any ideas for other polls?
 
I'll still be playing my 360 .

I intend on getting a Wii , enventually .
I might hold out till next Christmas and see what game Nintendo adds to a bundle ala Mariokart/Zelda Gamecube bundles .
 
PS3 for me.

If I can't get my hands on a PS3 then I'll be playing PS2 and of course PSP since MGS: PO comes out this winter :D
 
Nothing new for me. I'm too cheap and poor. Besides, I've got about 20 PS2 games still in the shrinkwrap that I still need to play.
 
I already own a 360, and I'll probably get a Wii in December.
 
This poll is too broad.

If it was "buying", then it would be a Wii, since I just bought my 360 this week.

If it was "playing", then it could be any combination of Wii, 360, PS2, DS, Saturn, or DC.

Then select "Wii" and "Xbox 360". Seems like the obvious choice.
 
I will be buying a Wii thanks to the Amazon preorder, and playing/loving my 360. I'll probably end up getting a PS3 when they become widely available (read: March).

Well, I was saying the poll is too broad because it includes two different things: buying and playing. Including a bunch of different options in the question dilutes the results of the poll.
 
PS2 all the way.

This Next-gen leap isn't as impressive as the previous ones. N64 was downright ugly in comparison to the PS2.

This round is only a matter of Sweatshine and Explosions.
 
It has to be the Wii right now since it's the cheapest one at the moment. I actually almost have the money to get it at EB with credit so it would be nice if they revealed their plans sometime before the launch. I'd love to get a PS3, but it's just too much money to get right out of the gate. I'm hoping I can get one sometime next year, but for now the Wii's a much more feasible purchase out of the big three for me. I'm also working on getting the money to get a PSP in time for Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops in December.
 
Wii. After I sell my Ps3 I'll have money for a wiimote in both hands , with enough left over for a bathtub full of Captain Morgan and Goldschlager. Happy birthday, Jesus!
 
None of the above.

PS2 all the way. The last two games I buy this year are going to be FFXII and Guitar Hero II; add in that I still have to finish Okami and Yakuza and I've got more than enough to keep me occupied until I can afford to go next-gen.
 
Sticking with the 360. If the Wii proves itself as more than a gimmick, I'll get one after a price drop. It would be pointless for me to buy a new system right now anyway as I have several 360 games I've barely touched, and the HD-DVD player will have me watching more movies than usual once it comes out as well.
 
I'm trading in my PSP for a shiny, used PS2 soon. So it'll be PS2/GCN/DS for me this holiday season!

Unless my GCN dies, which it's looking like it might now. T_T
 
Playing and loving the 360 for 3 main reasons:

1) Online gaming is key for my choice in system, and, to me, there is no way Sony can compete (quality, not quantity - as in choices/options/play vs. # of subscribers) with the online-gaming giant that is Microsoft.

2) The same games are coming out for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and since I already have a 360, it would be much smarter to pay $60 to play the games I want, instead of $660.

3) I'm skeptical of the other two systems, but mainly the Wii. I already know that Sony will probably deliver (at least) a decent system, and everyone who ends up with one - and doesn't sell it for a Wii - will like it, but with the Wii system, I don't know what to expect at all.

If I get the other 2 systems, it will probably be the Nintendo Wii for my August birthday, and a PS3 sometime in 2008, if ever. Viva la Xbox!
 
A couple quick ideas for polls (as requested in OP):

First party / Third Party/ Both games
First party / Third Party/ Both accessories
What accessories, if any, do you buy for your systems
Where do you buy (online auctions/stores B&M/ flea markets/ et cetera)
Do you trade games straight up (trade forums) or trade in for credit in B&M stores
owing to the upcoming launches, how about if you're camping/taking a chance on finding a system on a shelf instore/pre-ordering in store or online, et cetera
 
Wii for me. 20+years of gaming goodness inside a console of 3 DVD cases in size and costs less than a fancy CheapyD meal. I'm in!
