I got a wii on launch day originally i thought i couldn't have made a better choice i loved playing Wii sports, Zelda, then even Red Steele wasn't as bad as the reviews said i'd give RS a 7.5. Then I got some games as filler (like RE4 wii). Then i got SMG and SSBB. But sense i got done with those i really haven't used my wii i got a 360 but i honestly wounder if i should have bought that wii so i could sell it for a profit I'll keep my wii for now but i honestly do wounder if i should have sold my wii for profit and gotten either 360 games or a PS3. So be honest do you have any regrets about any of the systems you bought? (note: they don't have to be from this generation you could put in an system that you bought)

I regret buying a gamecube. Other than MEL/RE remake/WW the system was truly useless.

Yeah that was not a great system nintendo had 3 major faults 1. No online, 2. Bad third party support, and 3. releasing to many spinoffs of good series like Mario they made Sunshine which was a normal platforming mario game but until super mario galaxy there was really no normal mario platforming game on consoles.

Brawl was on the NGC? Wow, how come I never knew :D

The only system that I ever had troubles with, not regret because it was great, but I dont have it anymore was the 360. Burned after 6 months, decided to sell it and I wont be getting one again anytime soon. Its sad, because it has some killer games, but I prefer to be sure that I can play long marathons of gaming without inconveniences. (and because in my country there is only a 6 months warranty so I cant play russian rullette).

Maybe, the only system I will ever, ever regret getting was the Virtua Boy. Man that piece of sh** sucked hard.

Don't blame yourself borts the Wii is mainly a secondary console this Gen. I can't even say I picked up my PS3 other than for MGS4 which was aight not great but aight. The Wii and the PS3 are good for a few fun rare games here and there. However no where near as good as gaming on a 360. Even if the 360 has a chance of breaking it's worth getting another one just for the games on it. Plus it's cheaper than the Wii.

When I bought my 360, yes, I could never get it out of my head that I would be missing out on the PS3 exclusives that I liked the look of more. I didn't think the 360 was a bad purchase, it was a great console with some brilliant games, but I knew I would be more satisfied with a PS3. So I got one, and yeah, it's all good now!

Nope, no regrets here. I bought my 360 at launch and have greatly enjoyed it ever since. Oh, and I only got the RROD once, so it hasn't been a big deal. The games definitely make up for it (IMO).

If you don't like the system then sell it.

The only regret I've ever had for a console was the Gamecube. Only because I sold my Dreamcast and 20+ of the games to get one. I was in for a rude awakening. I rebought my Dreamcast years later so now I don't hate the Cube anymore. It actually has a lot of great games.

I have no regrets in buying my ps3, 360 or wii, My kids like the wii and its great when the family is around to entertain the kiddies while I conversate, the 360 has overshot my expectations, and the ps3 is starting to really make me proud to have snagged it early.

I regretted getting a Wii. Sold it a few months ago. But the 360 was easily my best move this gen.

I regretted buying a DS at launch. That thing had practically little to nothing for a year. And the system had hardly anything good from the third parties till like two years later. I'll rebuy DS. But only because of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Yes, I wish I had bought a PS3 instead of a 360. Reliable hardware, no need to pay to play online, better future. I'd get a PS3 but given that both consoles share the same games there isn't much point in owning both. I can always trade the 360 for a PS3 next year though if it doesn't get any better games. Wii is awesome, I don't regret that purchase at all.

I regret my Wii purchase, especiialy since I paid a bit extra using Ebay. I got my PS3 on Ebay at launch (for almost double) but do not regret this purchase one bit. My Wii sits there collecting dust while my PS3 is used EVERY day.

Let me think about that for a minute.

Hhhhmmmm... let's see. I own ALL 3 NEXT GEN CONSOLES.

Nope, I bought all the right consoles. I do wish the Wii had a few more quality games though. Like 5% of their games are worth playing. The rest is just crap. For every Super Mario Galaxy game, there are 10-15 crappy games like Ninja Reflex, Wing Island, Big Beach Sports or Target: Terror. Who makes this garbage?

I bought my Wii a year ago and played it all the time. 2 months ago the PS3 came home and I haven't touched it since. The trouble with the Wii is that after I have finished most of the games I wanted to play on it over the period of a year, I now find that there are not that many games for it. I buy most of my games second hand and, quite frankly, it always seems like the PS3 titles are so much cheaper. I have just sold my wife's Wii fit and I now think that the poor Wii shall soon follow.

Well, the 360 is right for me at the moment, being an RPG fan. Valkyria Chronicles is making me want a PS3, but I'll need several other solid reasons before I jump on that ship too.

So, no, I feel like I bought just the right console for me.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Should have never wasted a single penny on the PS3.BoloTheGreat

buyers remorse? well im VERY happy with my 360. sold my Wii to pay for upgrades to my PC, which i also think was worth every penny.

Broke on me, firmwire update messed my system up -- so either pay $150 to get it replaced or use my warranty I bought at best Buy to get it replaced. The thing was, Sony and their infinite knowledge decided to discontinue the 40GB; thus, screwing me over considering I couldn't get a replacement from best Buy -- they instead gave me a Gift Card for teh amount I purchased, $401.23; the 60 dollar warranty and the 30 dollar tax... not included. Obviously. So either lose 150 dollars or lose 90. I picked the 90.

my ps3 freezes up a lot, i bought mine at walmart, and an extended warranty, but those fools wouldn't even give me store credit. me and my bro are stuck with a ps3 that freezes a lot. i'm too lazy to send it in, so i guess restarting it every hour isn't so bad, because i play mostly multiplayer.

but for now, my regret is getting the ps3, my brother seems to think so as well. hopefully some of these upcoming games will change our minds, if not, maybe its selling time.

Nope. The Wii is the only console I have this gen. I also never bought any Nintendo Console before, so franchises like Mario, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Pikmin and Zelda are new to me, so I don't feel like I'm playing rehashes (even if I know they aren't:P).

I also am looking forward to new games in the future like Animal Crossing, Pikmin and other great third-party titles comming in the future. So yeah I don't regret my console purchase.:D

Nope, I've never felt like I've bought the wrong console. I don't understand why someone would buy a console unless they're certain it has enough games to keep them interested.
