Are you planning to get any of the new consoles? Have your eye on an Xbox360, PS3 or Wii?
What are your thoughts on all of them (ooh, risky console wars again here)?
Personally, the headstart the 360 has is good for Microsoft, I think they could probably complete quite well if they had launched at the same time as PS3, due to their price point and launch game lineup, but there are so many Sony fans, and for good reason, that they'd still struggle a bit. Launching first means people get excited about the first Next-gen machine, even if it isn't half as powerful as PS3 (allegedly). The Wii is unknown territory, not sure how it will do but the loyal band of Ninty followers will ensure good sales on day 1, together with the new Nintendo fans who came along with the DS.
But then, does it matter who makes the *most* sales? As long as all of them make a profit and get enough people on board their console they'll be happy. I believe that these 3 new platforms will be the most diverse yet and will therefore be able to cater to a larger demographic than ever before, meaning more customers for all of them.

Hmmm so after saying i might not get any this generation it's possible i may end up getting 2 of them :-D
My friend is giving me his 360 console, memory card, wireless controller, 2 Call of Duty 2 faceplates and GRAW in exchange for my DS handheld and Suikoden 1 and 2. That and i will probably end up getting a PS3 eventually (after about 4 price drops)
