Eh, I'll catch up eventually... remember, I just got a SNES last summer, still don't have a Genesis (though that's probably the console I've played most that I don't own), and just got a PSOne within the last week...
... other than a PS2 and Xbox, I want a Genesis/32X/Segacd (though those have the standard 'batteries' problem that means that your saves will die... maybe get a real Sega CD to feel good about yourself and then play the games on your PC? :)) and a Dreamcast... though DC doesn't have that many exclusives, once you count all the games that have been re-released on PS2, Xbox, or GC, it has a few...
As for PS2 and Xbox though, at this point the question is if you should wait... it would seem to make sense. With the next generation here, they can't keep the prices for new consoles at $150 forever... and the X360's backwards compatibility list should grow, and we'll see how backwards compatible the PS3 is at some point (that is, how long the list of games that don't work right is, and which games those are)...
