Havent seen this thread in ages. Can you be a 1 console gamer?

Now every console has its own distinct line ups. Now could a gamer live with only a Wii/360/PS3/PC?

Wii has a very varied line up of games which span over many genres and majority of these games are exclusive but it does not get the Multi-plats of the other 3 and if it does the Multi-Plats are normally inferior.

PS3/360 have similar line ups with both Multi-plats and Exclusives (Halo = KZ, Forza = GT.....) but can they both be a stand alone console? Be missing out on the exclusives of Wii/PC which neither have similar franchises too.

PC pretty muchhas alot of the games of PS3/360 and a wider variety than any of 3 in exclusives but can a PC owner do without any of the 3 exclusive games?

Should i add DS/PSP to the equation? Both of those make good secondry consoles.

I'm sure you could.

I'm not.

Of course, anyone could.

sure you can... i've always been a 1 console type of person until i finished studies and started working... However this gen i got 2 consoles and am happy with both, but if had to get only 1 console i'd be happy with only my PS3...

If you want to have access to all of the best games, no. If you're a casual gamer, sure. I played primarily on the 360 for a good long time (as far as consoles go... I've always been a PC gamer as well) until I got a 1080p TV and decided to finally play MGS4 so I picked up a PS3. But looking back, this time around, I probably would've been fine with just the 360.

um i guess it depends how much you play games lol. and depends on what people like, for me personally at this point i dont see how you could just have a wii alone, but others can so yeah, but i think you could live off a PS3 or 360 only if you had too. but luckily for me i have a Wii/PS3/PC/DS/PSP =D

if you don't know what you're missing, it would be quite easy.

I've only been gaming with one console for the past 3 gens and I'm ok so far.

I have a 360/PC/DS. My PC isn't very high tech so I can only play low demanding games (Team Fortress 2 FTW). I have a Wii but it is listed on ebay right now. Anybody interested in a Nintendo Wii + Super Mario Galaxy + Super Smash Bros. Brawl + Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess + Wii Classic Controller + 2 VC games, let me know!

...(I'm not advertising)...

hehe nope... I always made sure that I had (or had access) to any of the consoles of a generation, I hardly care about the platforms they are out on, just the games themselves...

well i have a ps3, a psp and a decent pc, i don' tthink i need more then that, i don't like the wii and the 360 anyways ( from what i played)

TO be honest proboly. Even though 360 and wii has some games I want I could be fine with just a PS3. The fact that you added psp makes it more hard since I do like my psp espiaclly for PS1 classic use.

Got the wii and ps3.

THe wii was good until i got all the games i was interested in. The ps3 got me through almost6 months of wii games that i had no intent of buying.

I guess it depends on the person but this gen i could not have lasted with just the wii. Way too many good games this gen would of been missed out on.

I used to have 2 or more consoles every gen (Nes/MasterSystem; Megadrive/Snes; PSX/N64 and Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox). This gen i only have time for 1 system. 360 is more than enough to me

YES! Being a college student, money is tight.( Gets tighter and tighter every year) I have been a one console owner for thepast 4 gaming gens. Got the 360 when it came out, got bored with it, and finally bought a PS3, haven't regretted it and probably will never regret it. ALTHOUGH, i might be getting a PSP considering I use to have one at launch but sold it due to the lack of games, but now there are a bunch of games I want to play on it.

For me, owning more than one system would be toooo expensive for me. It's not that I can't afford it, its just that I have other things I have to pay for and I guess you could say I wouldn't be able to keep up with gaming. Just a combo of a PS3 and PSP is perfect for me.

I can easily survive with only a PC, but only having a console would be extremely difficult. Hell, being a console-only gamer would still be hard given the types of games that I enjoy.

I have a Wii and a DS because first of all I don't have money to support another console since games and systems are so expensive here where I live and second because I would have no time to fully enjoy the library of three or four systems.

So I say it is possible.

I've managed to survive with only one console each generation. One is more than enough to keep me busy during the free time i have.lusitanogamer

I could never own more than one console. I don't have the time or care for more than one.

who seriously has the time and money. People who have all three must be real suck ups to their parents

I was an exclusive PC gamer for many, many years. I only recently became interested in consoles because keeping my PC up to date was starting to become prohibitively expensive. So right now I have an outdated PC (but still more than capable of playing the awesome Fallout 3), a Nintendo Wii, and a Nintendo DS. That's more than enough to scratch my gamer's itch.

I have PS3 , 360 , Wii , Decent PC , PSP and DSL and I think I can survive with my ps3 only its more than enough to fill my free time the others are extra.

i consider myself to only have PS3/PC for gaming, even though i technically own a Wii that sits there, and might get played once every half year.
