Someone had to start this. We'll gauge the GAF opinion and get a ground level opinion on MS's pre-emptive strike. Put YES/NO and reasons to your choice

NO

I want to see what the competitors are offering, both SONY and Nintendo have the bigger titles I like. You list the franchises. They're on both these boxes. While The xbox1 has the best multiplatform titles. XBOX2 will be pressed to have these;

I want to see what the DS/PSP is bringing to the gaming table and if my money will be better spent here. MS is notorious (okay, they did it once.. when they sweated at their stinky sales) for cutting the console price drastically. Waiting even for 2 months will be good. Can't think of any titles MS will have for launch that will be amazing/MUST GET. Their mainstay big titles fall under the categories of driving/fps.. and the only evolution I see is graphics.

so NO. I can wait.

 

[SolidSnakex]

No definite answers, i'll buy Sony and Nintendo consoles at launch but I dunno about MS. It'll depend on what they have, if it's similar to the Xbox 1 launch then probably. HALO's pretty much got to be there unless they've got PD0 though.

 

[AniHawk]

IBL...?

 

[Culex]

Could have at least waited until the other topic was on the bottom of the page...

 

[DopeyFish]

It's not like you will buy one anyways GreenGiant. Trolling Xbox seems to be your fulltime job.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

not exactly true but close enough. Doesn't make this poll invalid.

Nearly bought Shenmue 2 today for the xbox too.. Its not all rainclouds, sunshine.

 

[fse]

Perhaps... unless Nintendo comes out with a kick ass new franchise.

 

[GashPrex]

yes

 

[arter_2]

depends on the games
and i what the revolution turns out to be

 

[Mooreberg]

I'm not buying anything other than software and maybe some more RAM for my computer until 2006. I just got Xbox last year so I've got no need for the follow up next year, especially since Halo 3 won't be around until well after then.

 

[Hellraizah]

<---------------------------------- go figure

 

[Kudie]

No, I usually do not buy consoles at launch due to a possible faulty system and because the launch lineups are often bad.

 

[SKluck]

Depends on the lineup, obviously, but I've never bought a console at launch, and I probably won't start next generation.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Yeah, most likely. I liked my xbox much more than my cube and almost as much as my ps2, so I'm definitely looking forward to the xbox2.

 

[Ghost]

This thread is useless

IAWTP.

 

[BentleyGT]

Yes, and I'll probably end up having all three consoles anyway like I do now.

 

[cvxfreak]

NO. Unless it launched with Shenmue III or a Resident Evil game, both being incredibly unlikely scenarios.

 

[Subitai]

Probably

If there's Perfect Dark Zero, and some other decent launch titles, it will be worth it to me. Especially considering there isn't anything I want more on PS2 and GCN that will be out at that time next year.

 

[Li Mu Bai]

Hell no. I'll simply wait for teh better tech. & capabilities of the Revolution & the PS3. As well as the many IPs that they both possess.

 

[Chrono]

No.

Only console I'll be getting at launch is Nintendo's, and that's only if they have good EAD games. Especially a Mario game. I'll get PS3 later for the other 3rd party stuff and square RPGs. Nintendo/Sony combo is more then enough for me. It would take a LOT of exculsives for me to buy an xbox 2-- more stuff like Ninja Gaiden and Orta. If they can get a Final Fantasy for example, I'll be in line. That or if xbox 3 completely destroys ps3 and all the 3rd party stuff not on Nintendo's console is available on--and ONLY-- on xbox 2. I really doubt that would ever happen though.

 

[Cmdr. Solrak]

Perhaps

[siamesedreamer]

Great thread "TheGreenGiant".

You're the guy that got the other thread locked after you stated that I should be sniped from a roof because I don't play my Gamecube often enough for you.

Go play in another sandbox.

 

[LuckyBrand]

I am pretty sure i'll get an xbox.. well basically I'll get one unless MS really f's up with it...

i love xbox live, and i want to continue that with xenon.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Yep, getting it at launch. PD0!!!

 

[sc0la]

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Doubtful. I dont think Ill get any of the new consoles until they get cheap.

 

[SentientStone]

I never get consoles at launch because I'm too cheap (besides, it is better to hold out to see what great games will come out first).

 

[GigaDrive]

yes. I'm getting X2 at launch

 

[Bishman]

I won't be buying the Xbox 2 until I see what the Nintendo and Sony are offering.

 

[DrM]

No

I'll wait for 6-8 months.

 

[Wario64]

Yes, and I'll probably end up having all three consoles anyway like I do now.

You better change your avatar. 620kb.

 

[jarrod]

Nope, I'll already be blowing my budget on PSP next year (as well as more GBA & DS games). Xenon (if I ever pick it up) will simply have to wait...

 

[IgeL]

I'll get them all at launch. Most likely going to import Xbox2 from the USA, if the European release is months after.

 

[Poo Poo]

No. Not worth getting any system at launch.

 

[shpankey]

Hell no! (this from a big Xbox supporter)

Change it to 2006 and you might have a buyer... but I'll have to compare with the other systems. But 2005 is an absolute no go for me.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Hell no. The only systems that I will be getting at launch, next generation, is:

Sony Playstation 3
Nintendo "Revolution"

 

[JJConrad]

I think a 2005 release is a big mistake.

But it's the comments coming from their "higher ups" that have me more concerned about the system. Its as if someone took the smugness of Nintendo and the cockiness of Sony and wrapped them into one annoying little twit. Like how the smallest kid on the playground is always the one with the biggest lip. I like their comments about "software being key" but the fact that this is at complete odds with what they were saying only a year ago makes my eyes roll.

Right now, I'm at "wait and see," but I'm like that with every console.

 

[The Promised One]

No, I never buy systems at launch anymore. I usually wait about a year, so I actually have some games to play, and so I'm not forced to buy 4 crappy games along with the system by every single retailer out there.

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

yes !

 

[dorio]

Who cares.

Who is that girl in your avatar pimpbaa?

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Who cares.

Who is that girl in your avatar pimpbaa?

Lucy Lu ??

 

[GDGF]

Nope! The only consoles I'll be buying next gen are Nintendo DS (at launch) Nintendo Revolution (at launch) and Sony PS3. I'm selectively biased now!

 

[Solid]

It all depends on the games. But I'll get it within the first year anyway.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

Hypnotizing

hot like fire.

 

[dorio]

Lucy Lu ??

Nope, she's not that hot.

 

[Mystifizor]

I'm gonna buy my PS3 and PSP at launch!! Nintendo Revolution maybe at the end of its lifecircle. The next Xbox? No, thank you! NEVER!!

 

[MrPing1000]

Isn't this just a "Are u a Sony, Nintendo, MicroDollar fanboy?" thread with added juiciness from the peeps that buy more than one console

 

[Vennt]

Isn't this just a "Are u a Sony, Nintendo, MicroDollar fanboy?" thread with added juiciness from the peeps that buy more than one console

It is, and is doomed to failure, wait... did I say *is*? I meant was...
