...I have decided to keep only one of my consoles as I feel games are holding me back a bit, they're not exactly great for my health, or social life.
:)
The PS2 is technically inferior to the other consoles, but I've always said that graphics aren't everything, and I've also said that the PS2 is the casual gamers console of choice. Since I'll be playing games in a more casual sense, the PS2 would seem the best option. Plus San Andreas is the only game that I must have this year.
The X-Box on the other hand is powerful, and although graphics aren't everything, they are a great bonus. Plus it's got the hard-drive so I wouldn't have to spend any more money on memory cards, and it has the jukebox. It also seems to be growing in popularity, and has some of the best racers available, and I like racers.
The GC, well it simply has the most original, fun titles out there, but I don't see much of a future for the little black box, and everytime I go into a games store, it only has a small section in the corner. But I doubt I'd get much if I sold my GC, considering I only have 4 games for it, so it may be worthwhile keeping that.
It's a bit of a tough decision for me as I kind of like all the consoles, but I just feel that I need to move on with my life, and there's no doubt that these games are holding me back.
Right now I'm thinking of keeping the PS2 as it's the most popular and San Andreas will be released on it first, plus there are some good racers coming out soon, and a lot of those revolve around car modding, I liked modding cars in NFSU but the races were terrible, but if a game can get the racing right then it would do me fine.
So what does everyone else think? Do you have any reasons why I should keep a particular console?

The old conundrum of a dedicated gamer with a social conscience.
You know what I do? Do what I feel like. Games if I want, or a night out if I want. I don't give a toss for those who say I don't go out enough. Maybe it's because when I do, I run into the most unbelievable amounts of lame people ever, and I have to find a quiet drunken corner, and laugh hysterically at them.
But I do like being drunk. Yus. Both are good.

I'd do the same, grab 6 fosters from Tesco then shoot my way through call of duty.

I know what you feel like. I sold my Playstastion 2 recently and bought a second hand PS1 with a couple of classic games like FF7 and Time Crisis. It's just there to provide an outlet for when I want to play some games. I'm really not that bothered about all these new titles coming out soon so this suits me really well.
I've been playing games since I was 5 years old and it's almost like an addiction. At the moment, if I was given the choice of going out for the night, or staying in with a game I would choose the latter option. It's very sad I know, but that's why I've decided to grab the bull by the horns and do this.
