Which 3rd gen console will you get?

So, as the title asks, which 3rd gen console will you be wanting to get? I for one will definitely be wanting the Wii, as it seems to be the only console offering a good range of games and innovation, while the Xbox360 is just pretty graphics and the PS3 is the same, only with parts stolen from Nintendo consoles (motion sensor in the controller for a start).

None of them - I'm firmly a PC gamer. No matter how good the console hardware, within months there will be better for the PC.

Gah! consoles Gah!

I agree with my two fellow posters above me and won't be getting any consoles anytime soon. Their games generally cost more to buy and are usually inferior to PC games, so I'll be sticking with my trusty comp for a few years yet

I'll probably end up buying a wii, but only when the prices come down.

The Wii is the only thing that can possibly carry games that I can't play already. Heck, I think MP3 and the new Wii version of Zelda are enough for me for a while! So long as the controls are as good as the pros say.

That being said, I had no interest in the PS2 or Xbox until I actually got some time with them. And now I have them both (PS2 is most played console right now by far).

I'll probably just upgrade my PC instead but if I had to choose from one of those I'd say the PS3.

PC all the way. You can't fly on consoles.

Consoles are only for playing old games like Bomberman while laying in bed.

PS3 most definately, X-Box 360 screwed up massively. They rushed out the games to get it out by christmas. I was very disappointed in Madden 06 for the 360. All it had was play now and a weak franchise mode. I wouldnt recommend getting a 360 untill the games start to get better. I think that in a few months they will figure it out and start to get better. I will say that the graphics are pretty darn good. I look forward to the release of the PS3 here in the next few months.

Windows Vista

My dad wants to get me an Xbox360 for some strange reason.. when it took me a while to persuade him to get my Xbox a few years ago. Now it's me not wanting it. Anyway, it's just a graphics upgrade and nothing special. Halo 3 is going to be just the same with a different storyline. If anything, Wii seems to be the most different, but whether different = good will take time to tell. So for now, it's TW for me.
