I'll drop this poll in early on the week. My question: Have you owned more than one of the consoles this generation or last? (If you owned all three just pick dual).

The only exception I'll make is don't check yes if you bought one of the last gen systems after this generation came out (late 2005).

Here we go, and I probably will screw up this poll.

The Final Dakar · Oct 27, 2009, 02:49 PM

Oh yeah, Jawbone, you qualify as a single console owner this gen.

Stogieman · Oct 27, 2009, 02:57 PM

Last Gen - I owned a GameCube, Dreamcast & PS2.

Current Gen - 360, PS3, Wii. 360 being the most used system this gen.

The Final Dakar · Oct 27, 2009, 02:59 PM

Wait, you have a Wii? How have you kept that secret this long?

Edit: I thought it was your brother who had the kid.

Laminar · Oct 27, 2009, 03:04 PM

Where's the choice for "the newest console I own is an N64"?

The Final Dakar · Oct 27, 2009, 03:06 PM

Go buy the 360 like you want.

olePigeon · Oct 27, 2009, 03:20 PM

I owned a Colecovision and a Nintendo at one point, but I only had the Nintendo for a couple days before it was returned to the store.

boy8cookie · Oct 27, 2009, 03:21 PM

It was no secret. I mentioned it many times in the PS3, Wii & 360 thread. Remember I was a Nintendo whore up until this generation. I've only purchased 3 non-Nintendo systems prior to the 360 (ColecoVision, PS2 & Dreamcast).

Chuckit · Oct 27, 2009, 04:16 PM

I only had the NES in its generation (like, how many people did have a Master System?), but multiple systems every gen afterward.

sek929 · Oct 27, 2009, 04:18 PM

My grandmother had a Master System, I still remember playing Afterburner on it.

So what was the last game you bought for it?

Stogieman · Oct 27, 2009, 04:23 PM

Mario Galaxy.

The Final Dakar · Oct 27, 2009, 04:24 PM

That makes perfect sense.

klb5090 · Oct 27, 2009, 06:02 PM

Last Last Gen - N64, PS1
Last Gen - PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast
This Gen - Xbox 360

Peter · Oct 27, 2009, 06:54 PM

Last Gen: PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, GCN.

This Gen: Xbox 360, PS3.

I dont buy all the consoles as they come out, I wait for a game worth buying a console for. For the PS3 it was MGS4. Xbox 360 it was dead rising and various others.

Stogieman · Oct 27, 2009, 07:12 PM

I didn't realize there were so many Dreamcast owners on this board.

I loved my dreamcast, VMU FTW

Stogieman · Oct 27, 2009, 08:01 PM

Yeah, the VMU was quite handy when selecting plays on NFL 2K.

imitchellg5 · Oct 27, 2009, 08:54 PM

Last gen I had Xbox and GC. Now, I just have a 360 (I kept my Xbox games though, KOTOR FTW).

slugslugslug · Oct 27, 2009, 09:46 PM

So wait, given what you said to Jawbone, I should only count how many I’ve owned simultaneously?

KCrosbie · Oct 27, 2009, 10:21 PM

This gen: Xbox 360 and Wii
Last gen: Xbox and Gamecube

Last game I bought for the Wii was Punch-Out. Man, the Wii hasn't had a hit in a while.

Yes, Dreamcast was awesome. House of the Dead 2 FTW!

edddeduck · Oct 28, 2009, 08:51 AM

Have a 360, PS3 and Wii for this gen (along with a DS and PSP).

Had PS2, GC and a Xbox (with a GBA) for the last gen.

Yes, exactly.

raf66 · Oct 28, 2009, 09:35 AM

This Gen: XBox 360 and PS3
Last Gen: XBox and Gamecube

slugslugslug · Oct 28, 2009, 09:37 AM

Okay, voted:

This gen: owned a Wii, hated the game selection I encountered, but realized from the few good ones that I like video games. Sold it and bought a PS3.

Last (and only) console I had before the Wii was a Sega Genesis back in the early 90s.

The Final Dakar · Oct 28, 2009, 09:46 AM

Interesting results so far. I have to say, I completely forgot about the Dreamcast.

sek929 · Oct 28, 2009, 12:58 PM

Considering how many people here owned one I wonder why they failed.....oh yeah because I had over 30 games, all burned.

The Final Dakar · Oct 28, 2009, 01:01 PM

Learn how to fill out a poll, paul w.

exca1ibur · Oct 28, 2009, 03:26 PM

Last Last - PS1, Saturn (Still have it)
Last Gen - Dreamcast (Still have it), PS2
This Gen - PS3

The Final Dakar · Oct 28, 2009, 03:27 PM

Wow, you really hate Nintendo.

I keed, I keed

Yeah, I had like 20 games (10 were burned). Hell I even had Bass Fishing (with fishing rod).

TheoCryst · Oct 28, 2009, 05:40 PM

Aww, I forgot all about the Dreamcast. I had one of those, a GameCube, and a PS2 last gen, and I've got a Wii and a 360 now (though I haven't even unpacked the Wii since I moved in June).

I actually never burned any games for my DreamCast before it kicked the bucket. Probably because I didn't own a CD burner at the time.

Who me?

Hawkeye_a · Oct 29, 2009, 09:27 AM

This is the first time ever, that i am actually contemplating a second console(PS3). I own a Wii, and its not the console itself, but rather the abysmal third party efforts on the system, which have production values closer to PS2 games.

Stogieman · Oct 29, 2009, 01:01 PM

It's not just 3rd party. Nintendo is guilty of this too. What was the last decent game they released for the Wii?

The Final Dakar · Oct 29, 2009, 01:11 PM

Well this should liven up the thread.

The best part is he posted to tell us all something we already know, then didn't vote in the poll.

Yes, that was aimed at you, but it was mostly a joke. Owning a Saturn is pretty hardcore, though.

exca1ibur · Oct 29, 2009, 01:56 PM

Yeah, my post did look that way, looking back. LOL My last Nintendo system was the SNES. GREAT system, once their target market moved to 5 years old and girls they lost me. ALL the games I liked were/are ignored by them, so I had to move on. N64, I was disappointed they stayed cartridge based, the 3D was great at the time but due to the cart size they were limited to little or no texture mapping. I was tempted to get a Gamecube when I saw Rebel Alliance in the past but I never saw nothing more than just that I would buy so I'm glad I didn't go that route. Don't get me started on the Wii... LOL

Hardcore... man I had an Atari Jaguar, 3DO and even an Atari Lynx, too.

The Final Dakar · Oct 29, 2009, 02:01 PM

Atari Lynx had some great commercials.

Stogieman · Oct 29, 2009, 02:13 PM

What? No NeoGeo? No Virtual Boy? You ain't hardcore.

exca1ibur · Oct 29, 2009, 02:58 PM

$200 per game for the Neo-Geo was a no-no on a paper route budget. LOL Although I did know someone that did have one, so I used his. ;-) I did have a SegaCD with Night Trap. Glad I didn't pay for that thing.

I'm late to the party, and I call bullcrap on the second post of the thread.

I've owned two Wiis, three 360s, and one PS3. I'm a multi-multi console owner this generation.

Jawbone54 · Oct 30, 2009, 02:35 AM

Oh, and last generation, I owned a Dreamcast from day one, a PS2 from day one, and an XBox about a year or so into its life. I didn't pick up a Gamecube until much later. And yes, I owned multiple PS2s.

Actually, the more I try to remember about the last two gaming generations, the more I realize that my recollection of all the gaming systems I've owned is getting kind of...fuzzy. I think I owned three PS2s...

Dear God...I have a serious problem. This thread was conceptualized as an elaborate plan to make me feel idiotic, wasn't it?

In the same sense that a serial monogamist is a polygamist.

msuper69 · Oct 30, 2009, 04:36 AM

2 PS2, 2 PS3

Might get a third PS3 for the bedroom, one of the new versions.

Cattey...... bitchey...whatever.

The question is past tense, and the options do not have 'future intent'...so i could not answer truthfully.

As far as the Wii, i was perfectly happy with the console till about the first quarter of 2008. I have nothing against the console or it's ability, just the crap that third parties keep putting on it.

Why the PS3 now ? I finally have a list of 5 or more games i would like to play on the system.

Cheers

Is there something inaccurate about my statement?

It's about capturing a snapshot of the present. Just because things will be different in the future doesn't invalidate the poll.
