I've always been a last-gen gamer. By this I mean that the consoles and games that I purchase are considered last generation of the current or next generation. Let's take for example, the current nex-gen consoles; Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and the Wii. None of them I have, except my 360.
This is an exception, because I actually received it with some games as a gift. Other than this, I do not own any sort of nex-gen consoles.
My philosophy on purchasing new nex-gen consoles are like this:
Aside from this, I generally wait until the current gen consoles and games turn into the last gen. I am not completely sure why I do this, but I actually enjoy playing the last-generation games than I do with the current or nex gen ones.
Although I greatly enjoy playing my 360, playing my Playstation 2 still is a blast. My GBA and my Gamecube still hold strong strings in my body, because the games just seem to be rather dazzling sometimes.
The "nex-gen" is almost too much for me at times. I do enjoy seeing those intensely killer graphics but goodness; sometimes I just want to lay back and play some Mario. Even to this day I still play Super Mario World and Street Fighter 2 Turbo on SNES.
Yeah, I basically have been a last gen gamer since I first got into
games. I tend to enjoy older games/older consoles a lot more than newer
ones more so because of the pricing and sometimes even the simplicity
of the older games may kick in. Don't get me wrong, I love playing
nex-gen games; I just have a mind-set to get games at a later time when
it's usually much, much cheaper.

- If the console is less than $300, I will think about it. Usually if they are on sale for an extremely ridiculous low price I will purchase it.
- The console needs to have a game that is "killer app" material at the time or near release.
- My friends should have the system. Someone I know that plays the console generally makes me want to own or play with them.

Old games do attend to be better than the new games after a while
