Infendo Poll: Non-Nintendo systems

Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.

1. Given the amount of free time I have, usually the Nintendo console by itself is enough to cover my gaming habits. But every once in a while I'll pick-up a computer game, usually of the Morrowind/Might-&-Magic type (stuff that Nintendo consoles don't usually have).

2. Hey, if your answer is "None" or "Other", let us know in the comments!

3. As for current gen systems, I use the Xbox, PS2, PC, PSP and 360 on a regular basis (in addition to the GameCube, the DS and the GBA obviously).I also voted for "other", as I consider the Dreamcast part of the current generation, even with the early death of that system.

4. I play a lot of PS2 with Guitar Hero and all of the RPGs that are out on it. Then I use my Xbox for all of the sports games and FPS like Farcry Instincts and such. I also play PC games, but not as much as I used to. I used to be real big into Counter-strike, but not so much anymore. It's now mostly PS2 and DS lite.

5. I also pick up and play on my old Dreamcast now and then…But the non-Nintendo gaming system I use the most is the Xbox, and for one reason only: Halo 2. I will definitely buy the 360 when Halo 3 comes out!To be more specific, what puts the Xbox above the rest for me is their LIVE network. That, and the superior graphics a little bit, but I wouldn't pay too much more for good graphics alone.

6. I've been a hardcore Nintendo gamer all my life. I do like the xbox (although the 360 is too expensive for the average teen-in my area atleast) But I have never really enjoyed that "sony" company…

7. I am a PS2 fan mainly because of Final Fantasy games, guitar hero, Metal Gear Solid, and the controller. I am used to the PS2 controller so all the others feel foreign to me. The last nintendo system that I have owned was the SNES. The wiimote has me intrigued because it is so different than anything else. I usually feel that other systems controllers are inferior to PS2. The price of the PS2 hopes that the wiimote is as good as it seems as I don't really need another computer.

8. I only play PC besides Nintendo consoles, sometimes the PS2 with my friends. The main reason is that FPS are not good to play on traditional controllers. The only two that I enjoyed playing on consoles was GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark (both from Rare for N64). All others have weird controls, and are not that fun. PC is currently the best for FPS. And strategy games, really liked the Rise of Nations.Best!!

9. Where is the "I don't touch anything else than NINTENDO" check mark box, because it would eventually be under my category…

10. PS2, by far. I've been recently playing God of War, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Guitar Hero, all excellent games.Xbox has too many first-person-shooters for my taste, and Gamecube just doesn't have as much 3rd-party-support as I hoped. PS2 reigns supreme in this current-gen for me.They're still releasing awesome games for the PS2 like Okami, God of War 2, and Guitar Hero 2, and Final Fantasy XIII.

11. I play my Playstation a lot for the rythem games. Guitar Hero, Gitaroo Man, Beatmania, Guitar Freaks. Those types of games are pretty much all I use my PS2 for. Once in a while I'll play some Grandia on it. My Xbox is modded and I use that almost daily as a media center to stream video from my network onto my TV… I don't think I've actually played a game on it in almost a year (if you don't count the couple games of DDR before I got Stepmania on PC).I play PC games a lot. Other than rythem games it's all PC and DS/GBA games.

12. Lately only been playing my DS. But as for consoles.. I usually play by Xbox.

13. PC

14. True: there are way too many FPS on the Xbox, but you really only need one: Halo 2!

15. Anonymous said… Where is the "I don't touch anything else than NINTENDO" check mark box, because it would eventually be under my category… I totally thought of that after the poll was already up. D'oh!

16. PS2, PC, other; "Other" being my old Casio PDA which looks like a luxury version of the original Gameboy. Got a GB and NES emu (too slow for SNES, §%&$!) on it.

17. Other: Ocarina of Time on N64. Oh yea!

18. what about a mac? there are plenty of mac gamers like me.

19. Recently bought a PS2. I wanted to play Buzz and Katamari. Also got my an EyeToy and a Namco GunCon2 and a few Cave Shmups, i love shmups. Besides that i almost only use my DS. The Cube is eating dust and only serves his purpose when we play some mario party 4 with visitors.
