Xbox 720, PS4 or Wii U? I'm still debating on if I should get the Wii U or 720. Leaning towards the 720 though. What about you? :)

Suppose it depends on final specs and price- but a PS4 more than likely until the first the major price drop then the 720 will likely join the stable.

I'll get a PS4 - eventually. Once there are enough games I really want to play that I'm willing to spend several hundred bucks on a new console, then I'll get one. It's up to the publishing industry if that time comes soon or several years after launch.

Just like this gen I'll get all three. PS4 and Wii U for their exclusives and the Xbox 720 for everything else.

Probably the 720. I own all three current consoles now and with my studies I barely get to play. The only console game I really play is FIFA and I've had a better experience playing FIFA games on the 360 than the PS3. If some Shin Megami Tensei games show up on some of the consoles, I might change my mind. But regardless, I'll be buying the 720 for sure.

WiiU almost certainly. The other two, I imagine I'll buy one, but it really depends on what games they have, but I won't buy either at launch unless they have some exclusive must-have.

Never buying another Microsoft or Sony console. I hate what those two companies have done to gaming this generation. It's going to be a PC/WiiU/3DS/Vita generation for me (got Vita used to avoid supporting Sony). XBL fees, online pass, PSN hack, taking away my Linux, Microsoft's treatment of Rare, their DLC policies, Lik Sang, ads on my dashboard, tons of firmware updates, and first party games that don't bother with gameplay... Games aren't about fun with those two companies, they're about seeing how many things we used to get free modern gamers are dumb enough to pay for and making vaguely interactive movies that regard the player as an inconvenience.

Well, as no details of the next generation consoles exist, none. Kind of a silly question...

I'm not sure whether I'll get the next ps or xbox since we don't know anything about it so far. Have no interest on getting the WiiU with what is known to the public, also not a big fan of their first party games.

Assuming software parity and first-party content remains constant -- a PS4. I refuse to support Microsoft's attempt to lure in the drooler crowd at my expense. I want exclusive games and conventional controls, and there's only one system left that offers that. Keep in mind -- I am certainly no fan of Sony's; it's just that they are the last company that really seems geared towards people who like games in their current form and don't feel the need to shlt them up with busted controls or other gimmicks. Nintendo is crap, has been crap, and will continue to be crap. They are a washed-up company that tries to rely on duping the gaming public into thinking that there is something wrong with the way we play games and the reasons we play them, so they release trash that plays fewer genres well, infecting me-too posers like Microsoft into following along -- bumbling after a dangling waggle-carrot that doesn't even exist, like the braying donkeys they are.

Based on the current trends, the PS4. I have absolutely no interest in the Wii-U as Nintendo looks like they will fail once again to get much third party support, and Microsoft (if they continue down the route they are on) will make the 720 all about Kinect, which I absolutely despise (and having to pay for online multiplayer and seeing adverts all over the place on the 360 are other negatives). That leaves me with Sony. I hate the Dualshock controller and it's outdated design, but I probably will have to put up with it as the 720 will most likely be out of the question for me.

I'll probably be getting a PS4 and a 720 as they're likely to be the only game in town. Nintendos best days are long since gone and small screen gaming just doesn't appeal to me. I used to game on my PC but the kinds of games I like these days are completely console-centric/exclusive. I too lament what sony and microsoft have done to gaming this generation and can't rule out going in another direction. At least then famicommander (a few posts ago) can have some company in his bunker ;)

The PS4 will be the only one I'm purchasing. I really dislike the way Xbox is heading with all the Kinect crap. Never been interested in Nintendo.

well, we only have information on the wii u so far. ill probably buy it at some point because nintendo makes great games, but i dont know the when part yet. that will depend on price, third party support, and specifically their online store. ill be quicker to pick one up if i have something to play in between nintendo games and talks of last generation ports with batarang steering arent too enticing. hopefully some smaller games released digitally will help but nintendo has a bad history with original ones.

as for getting a ps4 or a nextbox, its hard to do anything but make guesses based on current trends. sony does a good job investing in developers of all sizes. sometimes the result is completely off base like with the "cinematic" panderings of quantic dream and naughty dog, but we also get a lot of truly great games out of it too. microsoft buys games a milks them more than it encourages creative development. they seem to think of their output more as software than video games. i know which one im more interested in.

The PS4 is practically a definite purchase for me, though it more than likely won't be right when it releases. I'm curious as to what the price is going to be. I'll probably have to start setting aside extra money just to be able to purchase it. The Wii U doesn't interest me all that much, even though I have a Wii. I may eventually get it if I have the money, but that'll probably be if/when a Mario Kart game comes out for it. Very unlikely that I will get the next Xbox, mostly because I've never owned any of the Xboxes, so unless something crazy persuades me to get one, or I get rich for some reason, I won't be buying one.

Wii U.

Im glad that they are not in league with the publishers of trying to take away all my rights as a consumer. Plus they dont have Online Pass or Season Pass bullcrap.

If the rumors are true about the PS4 and X720 being roughly the same power as the current consoles but just with 1080p and a lot more social features, I probably won't buy either. I'll just probably end up going with PC as my only current gen platform, especially seeing as how this gen I've pretty much been playing on my PC almost exclusively despite having both a PS3 and X360.

Well seeing as we know next to nothing about 2 of them, can anyone really say?

All I know for certain is that I'm passing on the WiiU

It'll probably be like every gen. I buy Nintendo's Console for their 1st party and usually Sony's console for 3rd party. Hasn't failed me before.

Wii U for sure. But Im broke right now, so I will probably wait until a few months after its release. I need the Nintendo console at the very least for their first party games. After that I will probably (hopefully) only buy one of the other two. I had all 3 this past generation, but barely played my PS3, because I liked Xbox live alot better than PSN (Yeah I know they charge for it but it functions so much better than PSN). Plus I hate the PS controller and love the Xbox controller.

Depends on the price and the games that are available for the consoles next gen. I'll probably just end up going back to PC gaming full time. Unless one of the consoles really interest me. I doubt I will be getting all 3 consoles next generation like I did this generation.

I'm getting a Halo 4 LE 360 in November to replace my aged Fat 20GB Pro. Wii U will probably be Christmas 2013. Nextbox, if not a Kinextbox, maybe Christmas 2014, depending on what platform Halo 5 releases on. And I'm going to try and get a proper PC in there somewhere. Maybe Summer 2013.

Not sure. If the gen is similar to this one, most likely the PS4. I might just stick to handhelds/older consoles though.

Probably all three. I'm going to wait awhile on the next Xbox though. Definately don't want to go through the RROD, E 74 and disc read errors every few months like I did this gen.

There is at least one franchise I can't stand missing on every system so I'll get them all at some point. For example, I'll get a Wii U but not until either a good Zelda game or Mario game or both have been released.

Of the 3 system a PS4 is probably the only one I would just buy outright without there being software I wanted to play already released. The other two will require certain games be already on the market.

My only plans for next gen gaming is to buy when the console gets a nice price cut around the release of the following gen. Sony is where I'm staying. They got the most games that I want to play. So much so that I can easily see myself with enough entertainment to satiate my appetite to even skip next gen. MS and Ninty exclusives have lost their luster for me lately. There have been few and far between for me to justify owning all 3 consoles again. Will be the first gen I'm riding solo with a console.

Depends on the games, exclusives and price. I'm currently a PS3/360 gamer, so it depends what Sony and MS are doing.

I'll very likley end up just owning ONE console next gen, because right now, I've learned owning more than 1 console is simply overwhelming, and I have a backlog of games to catch up this gen.

It's really a toss up between PS4 or NextBox, really.

The NextBox! Just because it has some games I can't play on PS 4. But my PC will be my main platform.

None until I have some solid information on system specs, which games to expect and what kind of policies for online connectivity will these consoles have.

Not sure, depends on pricing, what the hardware entails, and what games are on offer. If the rumours of Xbox 3 being like the Wii U with a screen on the controller and having a bigger focus on Kinect, I may skip that one. However, if Microsoft essentially make a more powerful Xbox 360, bigger hard disk and more multimedia functions (such as a Blu Ray drive, PVR as Michael Pachter keeps eluding to) and has the games then I will probably go with that as its my main console this generation. However, if Sony can pull something good out of the bag with the PS4 (such as having more online functionality, continue to include the Blu Ray drive, and reduce the ammount of SKU's thus I do not feel like a fool for buying one model then one with a larger hard disk coming out a few weeks later) I may go with that. It really does depend on the hardware and software and what price. I may not do like I did this cycle with buying a Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 as I really do not feel both get used enough to justify having both (I love Uncharted and I really enjoyed Metal Gear Solid 4, but a lot of the other games on Playstation that I enjoy are not exclusive to it, plus I am from the UK and Sony seems to have some issues getting content to the EU PSN store in a timely manor which is frustrating, especially when I was willing to pay for Closure and now it is coming to Steam before PSN Europe so I will just get it on Steam instead now given how long it has been on NA PSN). However, I am willing to give the Playstation another go if Microsoft keep shutting down their studios and pushing more towards Kinect as I do not like the technology (I have the Kinect but feel like the level of control I would want is just not there from the camera, however if they were to improve on that or offer a Move like device I would see that working better, however I am a fan of traditional controls in either a gamepad or keyboard and mouse). But all of this could change, if I get a decent PC rig together I may skip the next console cycle unless Fifa gets nerfed on PC again like it did when the Xbox 360 and PS3 came out, but the PC version was still using the PS2 engine.
