My philosophy, ever since ColecoVision, has always been I don't buy systems just to buy systems, I buy them because of the games they have and/or the ones that are coming. Technical specs are like mental masturbation for geeks and certainly cannon fodder for fanboys/girls, but they don't necessarily produce the best gaming experience. Save for the X-box 360, since it's actually on the market, most of us are responding to potential: tech demos, technical specs, company track records, nostalgia, etc. I have been far too disappointed at potential in my life to use it as a gauge for which system to buy. If Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo can deliver the gaming experience I covet, then that's the direction in which I will go.
