Which next-gen consoles are you buying? - Feb 04, 2006 20:50
I don' t know if this has been done before...
Don' t explain why you want them or not. Just say YES, NO, HAVE IT or MAYBE and put a number by its side that tells your priority (1 means that' s the console you want the most). Would be nice if you could guess when to buy the consoles. List the consoles by alphabetical order to make it easier to view the results if many people reply.
This is because I want to see which company the people in this forum will support the most in the next-gen.
Three lines, one per console and no additional comments.

Put it like this:
CONSOLE ANSWER (PRIORITY) DATE

Here' s my list:

PS3 YES (2) When at least 5 great games are out.
Rev YES (1) Launch
360 MAYBE (3) At first price drop if there are appealing games.

PS3 - Maybe (2) Near launch, if E3 shows any interesting + original games.

Rev - Yea (1) Probably near launch if its as cheap as they say.

360 - Got mine last week!

I' m getting all the systems but one at a time (meaning when I' m done with one I sell it and get another)

REV - Hell YEAH (this baby will definitely stay with me for long)

PS3 - It' s not like I have a choice , but I' ll get it 2-3 years after launch , when it' s the best.

360 - I don' t know - I think I might just borrow it for a few games like GoW (if it' s good) and Lost Oddysey and others - IF I get it , I think I won' t stick with it for long unless modding scene develops for it just like on X.

Until those systems are worthy I will have lots of fun with games of this generation that I didn' t play yet - PS2 and GCN (since I' m done with X in 100%)

360 i already have, got it on launch day (2nd Dec UK).

Revolution (N5) at launch with all the launch games.

PS3 at launch with all the launch games.

I' ll even consider imoprting a Japanese PS3 if it launches in Spring and there are games that either have English Text/Audio (like some 360 titles), then get the european console on it' s UK launch date and sell/give away the Japanese model.

I' ve already got a 360 and will be getting the other consoles on the day of release in the UK.
However I will import if... Revolution only has 480p support in the US machine and if the UK PS3 has crappy 720p at 50hz.

I see no point in just owning one or two of the machines as you' ll always be missing out on something. So far though the 360 has been pathetic. Ridge Racer was very addictive, but DOA4 was massively flawed with it' s AI (SNK boss syndrome randomly occured), PDZ was appaling, and PGR should have been doing 60fps.

It' s too early to tell what will happen but unless Microsoft get some decent Japanese support my money' s on PS3 and Revolution delivering the goods.

Getting all 3 as close to their Japanese launches as possible. (Already have the 360s safe and secured, now just need Sony and Nintendo' s next-gen consoles)

Got my 360, and definetly getting a " 720" in about 5 years.

Ill be getting a Revolution when i can afford it, maybe at launch

Ill be getting a PS3 one day provided i have enough time to play the games and there are good games, ohh and since sony claims it will go for a 10 year cycle, its a good purchase ;)

Yeah it is off topic.

People can draw pictures of Jesus or god in anyway they want and i wont care. All the muslims are doing down there is making the gap between our cultures bigger. The pictures were much more relevant than originally thought because they have shown just how different the cultures are.
From where im sitting its just very primitive, i respect religions, though im not religious at all myself, but i cant see why people can put some silly pictures of guy long dead, infront of reason, ignorance and primitive!

here is the thing though...they burn danish flags and attack danish people,it was a newspaper who did it,not the nation.
Anyway,your scandinavian brothers support you.
Just stop sending them money and see how well they do.

PS3 YES (2) Price drop
REV YES (1) Launch
360 MAYBE (3) Eventually

Actually, my brother will most likely end up with the 360 as the original Xbox is his. I' m willing to give up some of my spare time during a freezing night stood outside a shop door just for the Revolution. Anticipation will be both the death and the rebirth of me this year(with Zelda and Kingdom Hearts 2 as well... to name just a couple of things)!

2 w8 4 a PS3


Keyboards have all the letters within easy reaching distance, we' re not text messaging here!

1. Revolution - As soon as I possibly can
2. 360- Already have one, won it before launch
3. PS3- I just can' t see me putting the money down for it. It will suck because I like Final Fantasy games a lot, but I' ll make due.

OMG!!! According to Magic Box, Famitsu conducted a survey with developers, dealers and consumers regarding current and next-gen consoles that went like this:

Which next-generation console will you be most satisfied with in 2006?

Developers:


PlayStation 3 - 53.7%
Revolution - 41.4%
Xbox 360 - 2.4%

Dealers:


PlayStation 3 - 56.9%
Revolution - 43.9%
Xbox 360 - 1.7%
Consumers:


PlayStation 3 - 46.3%
Revolution - 43.9%
Xbox 360 - 7.9%


I thought Nintendo was Japan' s favourite company...
Oh well- but then they said this:


Which console will be No. 1 in 2006?

Developers:


Nintendo DS - 49.9%
PlayStation 3 - 16.7%
Revolution - 10.0%
PSP - 5.0%
Xbox 360 - 1.7%

Dealers:


Nintendo DS - 38.3%
PlayStation 3 - 31.5%
Revolution - 12.3%
PSP - 1.7%
Xbox 360 - 1.7%

Consumers:


PlayStation 3 - 40.3%
Nintendo DS - 32.6%
PlayStation 2 - 11.8%
Revolution - 11.5%
Xbox 360 - 2.5%
PSP - 0.3%

What is the expected retail price of PlayStation 3?

Developers: 40,000 yen (US$339) average
Retailers: 40,000 yen (US$339) average
Consumers: 50,000 yen (US$424) average

What is the expected retail price of Revolution?

Developers: 20,000 yen (US$170) average
Retailers: 25,000 yen (US$212) average
Consumers: 30,000 yen (US$255) average


I guess the DS is better than nothing, eh?

I hope to have all 3 of them eventually. I got the 360 already. The PS3 is all price dependent so if it comes out high, then I' ll probably wait it out awhile. The Revolution I will buy close to launch day, but Im not really orgasmic about it.

Quick question about HDTVs. Whats the difference between HD Ready and HD Built in? If I get an HD ready TV will I need to get somthing else in order to use my 360 in HD?
