Although I have a preference for the Playstation I never had anything against the other consoles. I never bought an Xbox simply because there's no game for the Xbox that I want to play. However, there are a bunch of Xbox 360 games coming up that have left me drooling so I'm pretty sure I'll be buying one eventually. I'm definitely going to buy a PS3, not on launch day because I don't think it's sensible (the release date in Europe was pushed to March anyway) but I'll buy one without a doubt.
Now, as far as the Wii is concerned I'm not so sure. I've never been a big fan of the games released for the Nintendo consoles, with the exception of the Gameboy, and so far the only Wii game I'm interested in is the new Zelda. I could buy the Wii just to play this game, after all it wouldn't be the first time I buy a console just because of one game (that's why I bought a Gamecube) but I would really like to avoid wasting my money like that. I mean, we are talking about 250? (about $315), that pays for almost half a PS3 and almost 2/3 of a Premium Xbox 360. It's not that I don't think it's a good console but if its games don't appeal to me then there's no reason to buy it.
