I'm getting all new consoles too. Not everyone can afford it tho. Most of the people I have on my friends list are people from home, college and the coli.
I guess the best example Is when I was in college and everyone was getting either the 360 or the ps3. A lot of people bought 360's because the install base on campus was there and Everyone wanted to play online with each other. People with ps3s were left out of having a big gaming community until about 2008.
Sidenote: There was a lot of people on campus too with a GameCube and only had smash bros. melee when that was poppin'.
