Poll: Is your next gen console a different brand to your last gen one?

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

i went from PS2 to microsoft
a lot of ppl are doing that its interesting

This is a NA and Australian dominant site correct?

Not surprising at all really. The 360 is a cheaper "general" console, and the Wii is the toy you buy if you are lucky enough to find it.

EDIT: I left out the U.K. and I am sorry -_-

I am unaware of the situation down there.

Don't forget the U.K

I've always stuck with Sony and the Playstation, under the belief I could just kick over my pc tower draw an x on it and call it an X-box. Rather apt considering a lot of the x-box games have been or are going to be ported to the PC.

The only thing I'm really missing is a bunch of prepubescent kids calling me a fag.

Now for my favorite joke.

How do you know if a game will come out on the PC?
It's been released on the 360! XD!
I myself have stuck with sony throughout the years.

I had a PS2, then got an XBox later about the time Halo 2 came out. This gen I bought a 360 in 2006 (after spending two years being very excited about the PS3 then ultimately deciding the 360 was the better option), and picked up a Wii at launch. I'm yet to buy a PS3 though my fiancee wants to; sometimes when we go out shopping she considers it, so I challenge her to go find five titles for the PS3 worth buying that we can't buy for the 360. She always comes back empty-handed.

Don't want to insult your fiancee and since text is a bad way to communicate you could either read this as an insult or a joke, but she needs to look harder >_> -and hell buying a system for 5 games is a bad idea, especially since the system has a bunch of other uses.

Maybe she'll find some next yer, the lineup looks good.

Hell I have five right here.

Killzone 2.
Resistance 2.
Metal Gear Solid 4.
Little big planet
rachet and clank.
White knight chronicles
God of War 3
Fifth Phantom Saga.
Motorstorm 2.
rachet and clank
uncharted
warhawk
resistance 1
Grand Turismo 5 and prologue
SHALL I GO ON?

Seriously, All an 360 is is a PC made specifically for games. Which ever 12 year old boy owns.

Seriously what does this have to do with the topic. (P.S please send me your PC version of Crackdown)

Fracking double post

If I may be rude enough to de-rail the thread for a sec, I'd just like to ask why people seem so happy to make lists of games for the PS3. If we wanted, we could research what games are out for the PS3, and thus make an informed decision. Aries, have you ever considered that Kermi's fiancee doesn't like Killzone 2, God of War 3 or Ratchet and Clank?

Sorry, but it irks me whenever someone says something along the lines of "don't make me bring out the list!".

 

[J'aen]

I moved from Nintendo to Microsoft. OP's an idiot for forgetting one of the big three.

Motorstorm 2. Little Big PLanet.Grand Turismo 5. I gave a list spanning all genres. I got the impression he was implying the PS3 lacks Diversity beyond Action games.

I grew up with a Playstation because it was so easily chipped, and I grew up in a pirating culture (I'm from coloured South Africa). In England, even though I asked (read: begged) for a Gamecube, my parents bought a PS2 because of it's DVD drive, so I stuck to Playstation out of tradition I suppose. Nearly all my friends have the luxury of owning or having owned all 3 consoles- it seems savage fanboyism isn't really an issue in South East London.

 

[revolverwolf]

I went from PS2 and GC to 360 and Wii. I saw no reason to get a PS3 because the one game I wanted for it (FFXIII) is now on the 360 and I didn't get the original X-box because it looked really ugly.

Nes-->Snes-->N64/PS-->PS2/GameCube/PC

 

[GloatingSwine]

No, had all three last time, have all three this time. I've had every major console since the original Playstation barring the Saturn, which was already dead by the time I came back in from the PC playing cold.

 

[Break]

I had all of the consoles from the previous generation, and once the PS3 gets a little cheaper, I'll all of them from this generation as well.

This is me. Who's brand loyal these days? The console you go for should be based on how many of the exclusives you want.That said, I was a total nintendo fanboy when I was younger. Ah, I was such an idiot...

In any case, this poll needs a "I'm a jammy bastard who can afford them all" option.

I'm doing a bit of a spiral

PSX->GCN->Xbox360

if the pattern continues i should be going back to sony it would seem.

Wait, you had a PSX? I didn't know those were ever released outside of Japan. Reminds me of the time my brother imported one of those silver gamecubes that played DVDs.

 

[Dance The Revolution]

Hey, Break, are you a jammy bastard who can afford all three consoles and a computer that's better than everyone's elses.

 

[Trogd0r]

Sega -> SNES -> Playstation -> Dreamcast -> Playstation 2 -> Xbox 360 -> PSP -> Playstation 3

I love my 360 the most <3

Your other children cry themselves to sleep because of that comment.

I think he means a Playstation, which people seem to call 'PSX', unless you're being sarcastic in which case PSX means the actual PSX.

Sony for my last three consoles, before that a snes
