Next Generation Plans
 

What are your plans as far as the next generation consoles go? Are you going to buy all of them or just one or two? Right now I have an Xbox, PS2 and GameCube but I don't think I can afford to support three consoles in the future. Though at the same time I don't want to miss out on any great games. Damn you exclusivity, damn you!

I'll be in University so I can only devote my time to one console. Most likely it'll be N5.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

Right now I have no solid plans to buy anything but Ps3. I may get Xbox 2 if it gets PD:0, and I may get N5 if it gets a more N64ish version of zelda... but like I said, those plans aren't solid :p

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

I'll probably only get the N5 because the way things are looking, gaming is becoming so mainstream that its gonna be For every 100 piece of sh*t selling games, theres gonna be 2-3 great games that dont sell like they should have. I doubt I'll be going MS/Sony route because of the way they are entrepreting the console business. They think of it as trying to make it this grand all in one thing. Well, they dont know how to work in console business. Nintendo is the veteran and at least knows that in the console business, gamers want GAMES to play. And I'm one of them.

But if worst comes to worst and the console business in the future sickens me, I've already begun a collection of old school systems and games so I'll be fine to know that what I'll be playing is better then what MIGHT, i stress MIGHT come out in the future.

heh you sound like one of those paranoid survivalists with bunkers stuffed with food in montana.

True Nintendo has been known for quality over quantity, but their quality has been slipping a bit lately. They still make great games but there's a bit of polish missing.

This is the first time that I'm not 100% sure I'll be getting the Nintendo console right off the bat. It depends somewhat on their online plans and cost. It would be cheaper if Nintendo just made games for other consoles, though I don't think I want to see that happen. The more toys the better.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

The Way Nintendo's closed mindedness is going. the N5 is WAY out of the pitcure for me. it will be the first nintendo console i will not buy. which is sad, but i cant afford to waste money on thier empty promises anymore.

Xbox 2. Sorry but no. not gunna happen either.

PS3, im leaning towards yes. so prolly will pick it up.

My main gaming these days is PC, i've just gotta say i've outgrown the consoles. And online play is what i like.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

I'll only be getting Nintendo Gamecube 2.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

I still love Zelda Mario and Samus, but I'm not touching the N5 with a 10 foot pole anywhere within a year and a half of launch because personally, I think it's going to be nintendos last console. When it's cheap I'll pick it up.

PS3 is up in the air, but I doubt it.

Xbox 2 Probably.


I don't game much anymore, and when I do it's usually on the PC.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

Xbox 2: for sure.

Ps3: most likely, it just depends on the price.

N5: Depends on the games. I havent bought a GC for it's games yet so...

Can you speak any foreign languages?
That is a very original thought.
What's your sign?
Me either.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

right on.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

N5, and thats it. And I'll keep playing my PC games, of course.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

Oh yeah, forgot to mention PC gaming. That'll be continuing for me indefinitely.

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

I wonder if the next Nintendo console will be called the Nintendo Hypercube?

Re: Next Generation Plans
 

It will phase in and out of our space-time continuum.
