In the end I’ll end up with all 3 next gen consoles. Last gen I started with a GameCube because I always had people over to play Mario Kart, Mario Party and Smash Brothers. Once I realized I was missing out on some good RPGs I got a PS2. When I moved and none of my friends were close by I ended up getting a Xbox for online play. I still enjoy my Xbox 360 but I’ve been playing the Nintendo Wii because of Zelda.

I’m interested in the PS3 because of some of the games (FFXIII and MGS4) that are coming out on it and Linux. Anyways it’s going to be interesting to see how Nintendo do this time around, after all the Nintendo DS is beating out the PSP and the PSP is a more powerful device. I guess it comes down to the user base and games.

I can’t say I’m going to buy all three, but only because I no longer play enough games to justify the spending the money. I agree with the sentiment here that each console has something to offer.

like the article DK. And yea for me there is something on every console I like some more then others but there is something there which is why i guess id be grouped as a hardcore gamer and i will own all 3 systems sooner or later.

Thanks a lot, Xanth!

The Linux-testing is more liable to happen via hardcore PC users due to there not being any serious support for gaming in Linux, but in order to keep the article from stretching on too long I paired them in with hardcore gamers.

DK: Like the article a lot. Gives a good overview of everything. I’d say the PS3 comment about how you can install Linux and test out the cell processor may be a difficult comment. Difficult in that in order to take advantage of it,you really need to know what the heck you are doing, especially when it comes to threading, and it’s my assumption that most hardcore gamers don’t code to that degree in their daily lives. Anyway, like I said before, I love the article, very good
