What do we all really want from a next generation machine?? Surely somebody should have asked us, the gamers first.
Yes, we all want a next generation console, like the playstation 2 which is hundreds of times more powerful than our current machine! But where are the extras that count. It was nice that Sony put a DVD drive in with the PS2 as standard, but couldnt they have put in some more ports for some extra pads. I love the original playstation, and when playing ISS Pro, me and my mates crowd round a little multitap and play away..hours of fun...but its such a hassle to set up! This is where Nintendo were tops with the N64. But surely Sony has no excuse now as the Playstation 2 is powerful enough to have decent four-player split screen games.
Another thing I would have liked to seen implemented in some of these next generation machines would have been an MP3 chip inside the console... What Im trying to say is wouldnt it be nice if Sony, Sega or the others could come up with a way of Taking Music off your CDs...then using MP3 compression technology to allow you to save your favourite songs to your memory card! If this was standard in a console then all games on that console would support this feature and instead of having the Games Soundtrak you could choose in the Games Music menu to play your own favourite Tunes. I for one would love this feature, no longer would I have to play a game with a horrific soundtrack. It would also mean that games would cater for a wider audience..Wipe3out is a great game, but Dance tunes arent everyones cup of tea.
I would also like a feature built into a next generation console that would allow you to change the joypad configuration, too many games Ive played have had the potential to be classics. But are let down by poor control system.. usually because the game has been rushed out to meet a release Deadline. This is not really the fault of the console manufacturers, but the software developers. Still it would be nice to have a console that allowed you to get around this problem.
So what features do you want to see in the next generation consoles?? Do you want support for Foreign Titles, or built in digital camera - so you can digitise yourface in for online gameing...you tell me.

I want a good reliable machine for up to 4 players + a broadband internet adaptor for no more than £200 with good games for no more than £30.
I hope you're reading this Sony, Sega and Nintendo!
It could save you from becoming bankrupt!

I thought the whole point of fighting games was to relieve tension! :)
I'm always looking for a good RPG. Haven't played all that many...
I suppose my favourite genre would be adventure, I.E. point and click.
Like first person shooters, and space flight sims. Especially X-Wing.
Don't really like sports games. Like strategy games.

Perhaps to win a game yes, but once you do, you fall in to one of two catagorys:
1) Leavers. I.E. They win a game, and you never see them again.
2) Stickers. They win, and become addicted. So they stay. I.E. Me, Ant, Edgy, Dan, Babylonian, most people in here.
What games are you most interested in? Do you prefer the action type games? Or is the stereotypical image true? (She does do martial arts Grix. Does that answer your question?)
Not quite. Ok, whats your favourite genre then?
