Yes, unless we're talking Nintendo. I bought a Wii when it released and eventually sold it. I'm considering going back and buying another Wii and the entire library of games I'd actually have played on it. All in all might spend $300 to $600 depending on where I find the games. For Microsoft or Sony I'll probably buy it out the gate because the likely side-by-side game releases are going to be good. If Apple decides to step into the market I might consider it, depending on the price. I support that company and love their products, but prices have always been steep with them. Otherwise, I just built a new gaming PC and I think it'll keep me solid for about 2-5 years with the occasional upgrade.
Although I'm excited about DOTA2 and will probably be playing plenty of it, I think they're a little late to the party. League of Legends has already taken over the genre and started the much anticipated next step of bringing new game types to the table. Not to mention their constant release of new heroes and the free to play structure. Some of the things I do miss are some of the heroes, the ability to deny (much missed actually), and town portal scrolls; but honestly LoL's use of 'summoner abilities' kind of offsets that to some degree.
