Who here is worried they might pick the wrong console in the next year or so? I am. And i'm sure anyone who wasted good money on a dreamcast will be very careful about what they buy ANYWHERE.
I have a PS2 but frankly the games (except GT3) have been pants. Sony think they can mess about because the playstation (original) was so good, but we will be the ones who suffer. Original PSX launch games : Destruction derby, Ridge racer, Wipeout. All excellent quality titles, that made their mark.
PS2 launch titles: Timesplitters (mediocre shooter) ridge racer 5 (crap update of ridge racer) tekken tag (tekken 3) and so on. And how dare sony only give PS2 two controller ports!
Crap really. Hopefully they will get it together in the next few months, but who knows? What if Xbox wins because Bill gates buys out the market? What if Nintendo release Pokemon + and wipe out everyone else? we will be sitting at home with £300 coasters, crying our eyes out. In the past console wars were just as bad. Anyone with a saturn or jaguar?
We can only lose out if companies remain so complacent
about the future market and what will happen. Who have thought sony would have made it to the top? or that nintendo would have been humbled into second place by a sony? No one can predict the future so be careful.

I'm not worried at all. I may have bought a Dreamcast and I may have regreted it but I've never been disappointed by a Nintendo machine.....and I never plan to be.

My brother is going off to University next year so I'll have to buy it myself but it'll be so good.

I can't wait.

I'm not worried at all. I have two brothers. I want a Gamecube. My oldest brother wants an Xbox and my other brother wants a PS2.

I can't lose!

I think you fail to see the PS2 games coming out in the run up to christmas. 15+ Very good games with more in the following year.
