I'm going to be getting one on launch.  I haven't picked up a launch system since... well, since my parents picked up a SNES for me on launch.  Cool

So what you are saying is "you" have never picked up a system at launch.

YES...I will preorder a Wii and PS3 as soon as possible....I didn't think I'd have the money for a 360, so I didn't preorder, but I did have the money and I got one not too far after release .... January 6, 2006.....

I don't know if I'll buy one at launch, but I've seriously been thinking about it.  Some of the stuff I've seen has lead me to think that it might be worthwhile.

And I've NEVER picked up a system at launch before... never even felt the drive to try.

I feel the same way.  I never wanted to buy a system or had the cash at launch but the Wii I'm very interested in.  Go Wii!

I haven't bought a system at launch since the Dreamcast, which is also the last console that I bought to play on period, so I doubt I'll be buying a Wii at launch.  It's sad to say, but I hardly game at all anymore, so I have no motivation to pick up new consoles.  Collecting NES stuff consumes enough time as it is Wink

No

As far what I have seen from this console in gaming shows its not my type of thing...games look a little bit childish, graphics aren't next gen (at the moment that is) and dont know if swinging around with a controller is something for me, when you come home tired of working you dont want to do such things and I rather sport than looking stupid making some of those moves in my room...I am also not into eyetoy or those dancing-pads if you know what I am saying!

I would say yes but it totally depends on the financial situation at the time. My girlfriend also has a big say in these sort of purchases but I think I can sway  her around to my way of thinking.
If i could only get near those purse strings. Smiley

This is the next console that i want , The thing with the controller having to be moved shuold make even a crappy game into something of a bit of a novelty.
I got all of Nintendoes last 3 consoles at launch which is a bit strange for someone stuck in the Sega camp.

I have loved every bit, piece, and game I have seen for the Wii so far.  Although I think they should have stuck with the name "Revolution".  But still, it looks great, all backwards compatable which is a big plus, and the launch titles look great.  Not to mention it looks like it's going to be about 1/3 of the PS3's price.

yep.  and by the way did anyone get the last EGM?  in it they did an inteview with reggie and he said it would be 250-300 or something like that , but after that it said in parenthesis "infact, reggie told us after the interview that the price will be unde 250"  i will jump for joy if this is true.  anyway, thats the last time EGM heres any of nintendo's secrets.
