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? :)
This topic is locked from further discussion.
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.
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 I hate the Dualshock controller and it's outdated design, but I probably will have to put up with it as the 720 will most likely be out of the question for me.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.
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.
Not sure. If the gen is similar to this one, most likely the PS4. I might just stick to handhelds/older consoles though.
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.
