There's not enough information in your poll for me to respond. First off the Wii, 360 and PS3 are completely absent from your list of options as I see no option for "current gen" consoles. Also you allow the option of "next gen" consoles without defining what those are. Do you have secret information about the consoles all the companies are working on but have hithertoe not anounced? Because I and the escapist certainly don't.
In deference to your terrible poll, it's a tossup between Wii and PS3, but I'd err toward PS3, which is not a consumer loyalty statement as a PS3 is in fact the only console I don't own since I put a blu ray player on my PC.
My reasoning is that the PS3 has a blu ray player and I don't want my kid using my computer to watch movies when I want to play games on it. It's also the one witht he longest projected lifespan since the PS2 is still releasing games for god's sake. As it, unlike the 360, believes itself to be in direct competition for the Wii it will have plenty of kid friendly games without sacrificing current gen graphics and titles.

I grew up with one of those and only 5 games but dammit, those where the best memories of my child-hood. Banjo-Kazooie occupied me for hours and it would still do so now.
I'd still have it but my Dad decided to chuck it away without asking me when we moved house.

DAMN HIM TO BURN IN FIERY HELL!!! *Ahem* Ok, I'm good.

Same here. I enjoy PC gaming because of a slew of mods, abandonware, DLC, and other free/cheap stuff. Plus, it can do all the other stuff a computer can do (internet, work, ect.).hamster mk 4 said:
A computer.
Fuck consoles I'll get the kid to play the classics and yet still be able to play with his friends.
