    - will get a 360 after 65nm on both chips, PS3 not until it's much cheaper and some compelling titles are out, and a PSP anytime after September and the redesign is out.

    the wii once it develops a stable of more compelling games and possibly goes through some revision (hard drive?)


    Man it would not be that interesting. I would be like "numbers numbers blah blah blah metrics."

    You don't realise the kinds of questions you would get then! Although honestly some of us are interested in all those business-y q and a's anyways. There's a good rise to success story behind PA.

    And now we're sitting at 100% DS and all but one person having Gamecube. Geez.

    7 votes so far. All of us own DS's :P.

    Also, I didn't even notice this up here until I looked for it specifically, after noticing the previous (now locked) incarnation of the thread. I wonder how many people are going to miss this because they never look at the stickies.

    A bunch of potential things come to mind -

    To give the guys an idea of what readers are playing on, so they can help orientate content in that direction.
    To show advertisers so that they can know their potential audience
    Out of interest

    I picked my PSP up off a mate for half of what they'd normally cost. I was sort of on the fence but there was enough stuff on the horizon I figured I might as well.

    And now we've finally hit that horizon. Helloooo Tactics.

    I'm suprised with the number of PSP owners up there though.

    I'm surprised the Wii is so far ahead of the 360. Maybe Wii owners get up early/stay up late.

    I think we've got a lot of gamers from the Coleco/Atari/NES days than most boards do though, so theres a lot of Nintendo history here, compared to say GAF which seems to be predominately from the Playstation era onwards.

    That's an interesting point that I hadn't thought of before, though for me personally my growing up on the NES didn't really have a direct relationship to me owning a GC and Wii today.

    Nowadays I've definitely taken on a mercenary attitude to games. Upside is my love or hate of certain platform or name doesn't hinder how I feel about games. Downside is I've spent and will spend a lot of money on pretty much any console that has at least 3 really solid games. The promise of Killzone 2 and MGS3 may make me procure a 60gig ps3 before I want to.

    This isnt exactly the most accurate of surveys either. To think this wont be boosted by fanboys is silly, and to have over 4 consoles per voter is also probably not accurate.

    If anything, this is a poll on your favourite games company, not consoles you actually own. I wouldnt trust the results at all.
