When I was considering what console to get back in 2002 / 2003, I took a few things into consideration. Cost, games, etc. I could have gone either way, really. I didn't get a PS2 because all of my friends had one and borrowing it wasn't hard to do. I initially wanted an Xbox. It seemed like the best choice of the three even though it had the highest cost. Had the best graphical capabilities, had the best reviews on its games, etc.

But ultimately I went with a Gamecube. I still don't remember why. I can guarantee I didn't initially want one. Then I actually played some games and loved it. It was so late into the game that when I got one it was already down fifty dollars from its release price and coming with a game bundled. For a while I wondered if I made the right decision.

Two years later, the only thing to show up on Xbox was Fable. I chipped in when my friend got it for his Xbox and beat it in a day. So my decision to not get an Xbox was justified. I still regret not getting a PS2, but even now when I can get one for thirty dollars and get all the games for maybe ten each, I still don't want to get one. I know it'll fail. They all do, no matter how new they are. Playstation 2 has the best selection of games on it of all the consoles in that era. I will admit that right now. But not being able to play them would be harsh.

I do not regret my Gamecube purchase at all. I'm quite satisfied with it and I still replay some of the first games I bought to this day. It's awesome to know that I can play them on my Wii if I want to. So they don't go to waste. None of my forty Gamecube games will go to waste. Of those forty, I only regret buying three. Worthless piles of crap.

So, in comes 2005 and the new consoles are showing up. What do I do? Same thing. Microsoft starts strong, but they still have yet to release a game that looks even remotely interesting to me. Sony promises a powerhouse of a console but, again, has no games for it that look promising (Sorry, not having owned a Playstation 1 or 2, I haven't played Metal Gear or Devil May Cry). And in comes Nintendo promising a fun console at an affordable price with loads of great games.

Fanboy? No. More like "logical decision-maker".
Lol, fanboy. You want one system over another. Fanboy.

Fanboy. Pee pants fanboy.
