    Default Who else here is using the 3DS as their ONLY next generation console?

    I'll be honest. I don't plan on getting an XboxOne, PS4, or Nintendo Wii U. My sole current generation console is going to be the 3DS and this is something that is not new to me since the GBA was my only console during the height of the PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox in the early to mid 2000's. It's the only console that has me checking news and reviews as well as feeling childlike excitement for upcoming games. I really feel like a kid again during the NES/SNES era of gaming when the "wonder" and "excitement" was there.

    Anyone else here in the same boat? Anyone here strictly gaming on a 3DS and nothing else? Let's hear what Nintendo Life members have to say!

    Already have a 3DS and Vita, so no, not using only the 3DS. I'm also getting a PS4 and a Wii U.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    I hardly use my 3DS and few of the games interest me, so I'll probably get getting a PS4 (down the road).

    For a while it will be my only next gen system, but someday I'll probably get all the rest. Xbox being last in line because it's just my least favorite brand.

    3DS will give me fresh new classic-like experiences when a must-have game comes out while I work on games for older systems first.

    Actually I think I'll do this:

    Get a Wii U when I beat all my Wii games

    Get a PS4 when I beat all my PS3 games

    Get an Xbox One when I beat all my Xbox 360 games

    Get a PS Vita when I beat all my digital PSP games, as I sold all my hard copies for that system.

    Unless of course I end up getting a job that gives me lots of hours and I can afford to buy anything I want. If that ever happens a new PC or a Mac is coming first.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    I have a 3DS XL and love it. Cant wait for the new Zelda. Not in any hurry to buy a Xbox One, or PS4. I will get a next gen system, but not for a year or so till all the bugs are worked out.

    You know, with the outrageous plethora of games available from all generations, I almost want to say there's no point in getting any of the next gen consoles for several years. When you look at the previews, there's not a giant amount being offered for $300-$500.

    Sticking with previous gen games also comes with the advantage that you can find tons of cheap games, both new and used. I'm in the same boat here, but I'm sticking with an old psp 3000 instead of a 3DS. Good times.
