Even if I spot an old Playstation hooked up to a guy's TV, I'm not going to pass judgment—ok, so maybe I'm secretly wishing he had a Wii hiding somewhere. In a recent article by Kotaku, a panel of gamers were asked the tough questions about what a console says about a guy—Now I've got your attention don't I?!

The experts include NY-based psychologist Carl Arinoldo, DeVry University's Ed Magnin, online gaming network CEO Ted Owen and GameTrailers.com's Shane Satterfield. Here's a little fun quiz to help shed some light on guy gamers and their "choice of console." Keep in mind that all answers are personal opinions of the experts.

    What does it mean if a guy (my boyfriend) has a Xbox 360, an Xbox, a PS2, a Wii, and a DS, and I have a NES and a SNES?

    Wait, never mind, I probably don't want to know..

    Oooh I didn't know you could get old school NES and SNES games on a Wii... great feature!
    I have a working NES also but I never play it. Actually it could be not working and I wouldn't know.
    I used to date a guy that was waaay to into games. It's a turn off. I get so sick of watching people die in Halo or all those other 1st person shooter games. That gratuitous violence affects my sensibilities.

    terryt18: if ou go to this link: http://www.nintendo.com/search?query=virtual+console&category=all

    It will tell you what game titles are available for download. then you buy a card at the store or online to get "Wii Points" (looks like a gift card...) then you go online with your Wii, and buy the games! It's fun! some you can play with the Wii mote, some you have to plug in your game cube controllers....I have mario 1, mario 2, and super mario world (with yoshi) so far.

    I like it when I show up to a guy's place and he has old school systems like Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo, or original Nintendo!! That's the only way I can beat him :blush:

    We're not big on console games, but we play games on the computer. What does that mean? We have two X360's but it's just because he got an x-box for xmas one year and he stuck w/them. They're mostly just used as DVD players.

    Interesting. I'm a Nintendo person myself, so I already knew that Wii owners are fun!

    PlayStation does not equal PS3...
    Also, people thinking that owning a 360 means you play well with others is a load... anyone who thinks that has never been on voice chat before or been teabagged.

    My husband has every system since the Atari... It's one of the reasons I love him

    We have everything except the Playstation products in our house. My husband and I are PS haters.
