Are you buying Xbox 360, or waiting for PS3? A simple poll

I'm probably going to wait for the PS3, and stick with it for a while, then eventually getting a Rev, and then eventually a 360. At least, that's the plan. I've been debating between getting an iPod pretty soon or waiting for a 360, with the favor tipping towards the iPod, but in all likelihood I will fold under my own weakness for the new hotness and get a 360 this year anyway.

The Chronicle doesn't approve of that! He is determined to make sure I come off as a company man, skewing results in favor of the 360. Please change your results or the question is flawed! OMG!!!

If the 360 gets most of the votes, that doesn't mean a thing. It could still be a heaping pile because most people here are owning both anyway. I was just trying to guage how many peolpe are passing on it in favor of the next Playstation.

I may not get a 360 at launch, but I'll get it first. I have a feeling the ps3 will launch at $400 so I'm going to wait until it gets to $200 to get it. By that time all the bugs should be out and there will be more than 3 games worth playing.

I'll likely be passing on the XBox 360 at launch, but it would be the first next-gen console I buy.

Well, to be fair, I think if you made the same poll before any of the 32 bit generation systems launched, most people here would've chosen the Saturn or N64, and if you made it before the 128 bit gen most people would've chosen the Dreamcast. I think the people who "wait for the next PlayStation" are typically very casual gamers. But either way, there's nothing wrong with the poll, it's just a question.

PS3 unless Halo 3 or Ninja Gaiden 2 comes out before it's release. Gears of War being really good would probably push me over too.

Another difference is, old-school TNL and GG! (and Gamefan Online before that) were much different of an atmosphere than current-day TNL. The hardcore fanboys and people that only play games from a specific corner of the world are almost gone (not that I mind for the most part).

Though, there are a few too many people who hate ANYTHING that comes out of Japan for my liking these days.

Xbox 360, but only because it comes out first. I'll be getting all three consoles launch day, so it's hardly surprising.

I'm getting a 360 at launch. No doubts about it.

I'll probably end up getting a PS3 when something worth while actually comes out on it. . and considering that when I buy Kingdom Hearts 2 in 20XX, it will be the first PS2 game I've bought in a year. . well, they'll have to come big.

Much like Sl1p, nothing has really been shown for PS3 that makes me excited yet. I'm not going to buy a machine because it's there (If that was the case I'd own a PSP and NGage right now). Xbox 360 has already shown me two games that look incredible, so I'm excited about it.
Now, Am I going to buy the XBox 360 at launch is a different questions since there is a ton of stuff I want coming out for the current systems that I want around November (Zelda and Dragon Quest come to mind).

And I do think you should include Revolution in this poll, imo. I know it's the odd ball of the new machines, but why not include it?
