After seeing all 3 conferences, i choose XBOX ONE + (maybe) WiiU.
Better games I'm interested in and the Master Chief Collection completely sealed the deal for me. Plus the X1 controller still feels better than PS4 DS4.
Nintendo, interestingly enough, caught me by surprise. Splatoon looks extremely fun to play as well as Toadstool, Yoshi, LoZ, and Mario Level Maker seem like an interesting concept. Will I finally get my hands on a Nintendo console after all the criticism, bitching and moaning I've done since the Wii? Maybe. But only if the price is right. $299 is still too expensive for a stripped down console with slightly better gen 7 graphics. At $250 I may budge.
As far as my position on PS4, I don't think I'll get one. And deep down, I don't see anything that is interesting to me, and with most Sony exclusives, I play it once and almost never pick it up again. At the beginning, I was very adamant about just owning a PS4, pre-E3. Now, I don't like the idea of owning 2 very similar consoles per gen, when in the end, I'll likely end up playing my primary console more and leave my secondary collecting dust. WiiU is an exception because it doesn't have too much focus on 3rd party games and I could simply concentrate on Nintendo titles + X1 titles. Best of both worlds to enjoy.
For now, the X1, seem to me, a more compelling choice. Better online infrastructure, better controller imo, and more games that interest me.
