For the first time, I'm not going "next gen".

I'm absolutely amazed at how not next gen the launch games are for the new consoles.

I bought a 360 and PS3 at launch but this round....I'll pass. In the past the launch games for a new console had a small edge over PC for around 6 months to a year or so but this time they are already behind.

From what I have seen on the consoles this far, with the exception of BF4, everything looks like a 3 or 4 year old pc game....it's a joke. And even BF4 doesn't run or look as good as it does on PC.

I'm completely unimpressed in every way....disappointed also. I was considering a new console for Christmas. Oh well.

Just my opinion.

I might skip this generation also, but I had already quit the previous generation rather early. I am not sure what to do, I may just focus on getting a Steam Machine.

Not a bad idea at all.

I love new tech and video games, so I'm a sucker for new games and consoles.

I used to be, but now i understand what money is ;)

consoles get smaller in price and size though.

I got a chance to play the PS4 demos at Target last night and was shocked n' surprised. This is not "Next Gen" in my eyes. Speaking graphically, very small increase in detail but we shall see.

quality also.

I make a good living and don't indulge on many things. My wife is cool with it so can't complain.

Just get a PC, TC

Everyone has different lives and priorities :)

Cool wife :D

I have one.

Videocard: Gigabyte 670 Processor: Intel i5-3570K Mainboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LE LGA 1155 Memory: Corsair 8GB DDR3 Soundcard: Soundblaster Z PSU: Corsair GS800

I thought the same thing TC, but then I took an arrow to the knee...lulz.

this is the first gen in awhile i was not an early adopter.

i will get them both eventually, it's not a big deal.

i can play cheap ass 360 and ps3 titles i skipped then in a year or two buy the new systems when the librarys fill out.

Yeah I shoulda waited on ps4.. thought gfx would atleast match my old gtx 570 or be on par. But games like bf4 look worse and kzsf dont even come close to crysis3 level.. oh well my new 770 will keep up with my gfx needs. And ill keep my ps4 for its exclusives and friend play

I quit caring about visuals on consoles a while back. If I want bleeding edge visuals, I have my PC. My Wii U provides the high quality exclusives I want, the control scheme I prefer for shooters(wimote + nunchuck), and acts as an energy-efficient way of playing multiplatform games(I wouldn't get every multiplatform game for it, though). My electric bill was crazy low the couple months I didn't have internet and only played my Wii U.

Actually this is one of the biggest launches ever. When do you get BF, Cod, AC, Fifa and others out at once. X1 has a slew of great exlcusives and the PS4..................??? uh well the PS4 has Resogun but I hear that is a great 2D side scroller so that's kinda good. I guess.

well what's the point of a new console then? A graphics upgrade is supposed to be a given....is there anything new really that has been brought to the table with these consoles?

Well yeah, if you mean an upgrade from the previous generation of consoles. Even the Wii produced better graphics than its predecessor. One should remember that launch titles don't exactly showcase everything a system can do(Look at Resistance:FOM vs Resistance 3). Everyone seems to be after a little something different. Some mainly want the visuals, while others are more interested in new experiences. If visuals were the main draw for me, I probably wouldn't have stuck with the Wii last gen(alongside my PC).

In terms of what's new with these systems, I can't see much feature-wise. Most of what they showcase has been done elsewhere with touch screens, touch pads, recording, uploading, and etc. Thing is, the features haven't been on consoles before. That's not to say that their presence is being wasted in all cases as a quick gimmick. Some games use the tech well, such as Rayman Legends on the Wii U.

If visuals are the draw for you, give these new consoles a year or so. Developers still need to shake off last gen tech and tailor their engines to take advantage of the hardware.

Me too, PC only now.
