If even half of the rumors concerning the NextBox are true, I can thank my lucky starts i wont have to waste any money on two next gen systems at the end of the year. PS4 wins my hard earned cash.  No next gen Kinect crap for me. If i am really lucky, Nintendo will step it up with enough awesome games for WiiU that i wont have to consider any other system this year. Do you guys really think the next box will be as lame as the rumors suggest?

Well, I really don't know, and it really doesn't matter to me. 

I think there just needs to be one great console per gen. 

This gen the 360 served me very well. Next gen I'll pick whichever one suits me the best. I don't mind who gets the glory as long as one console is glorious. 

Obviously PC is always consistently excellent.

You can't b that surprised, MS have been taking the casual and gimmicky approach since 08. Maybe they're suffering from the same arrogance that Sony had going into this gen.

who cares about rumors?

the bottom line is if it has games i want i buy it and if it does not i don't buy it.

you guys tend to get this shyt backwards and worry about everything in the world other than what you get to play.

sw is all "oh! mah emotions they are the #1 concern! what will mah heart tell me about the ps4 and nextbox! oh imma swooning with emotion over here!"

You're basing this entirely off of rumors. Wait until actual details come straight from MS before you jump to conclusions

The only rumour that caught my attention is the banning used games one. I won't be buying any console that has that feature, for sure.

As long as it has Halo, Forza, and XBLA titles I am getting the next XBOX. To me all of the other exclusives are just bonus games. I get more 3rd party games anyways and Sony's first party titles did nothing for me this gen except for the ones that Sony left collectiong dust like Heavenly Sword, Wipeout HD, and Twisted Metal.

Sony has spent this entire gen expanding their already substantial first party meanwhile ms has been carelessly throwing their money away securing timed exclusive dlc.. And now their going toe to toe with the beast with no headstart, no price advantage and very little first party backup. The only ones with the talent to stop the playstation are Nintendo and they are missing in action at the moment but i expect them to come back very aggressively in the coming months.

Rumors dude... rumors.  I heard the other day from a very reliable source that the PS4 excretes the smell of a chimps scratch-bag when turned on.  Apparently, the new PSKinect watches the bones of the individuals in the room and steralizes them.  Oh and the new PSN network only operates while eating tuna sandwiches on pumpernickle... rumors dude...

Thank you kindly mems. 

If you got a Wii U what games would you get for it? Mine probably gets less than one hour of use per week.

But there's nothing yet official. We've heard the "no used games" initiative rumors about sony too... We've heard motion controls and advanced eye toy rumors as well. There is literally nothing to report until the 20th... If the ps4 has it's shiit together, I'll get one. Though, with that said, I feel like we're heading into another generation that will ultimately share 95% of its library again...

Rumors sprouted up, prior to the Xbox 720 rumors, about the PS3 having in-game advertising, and also blocking used games.

Why does everyone forget this?

As far as I'm concerned everyone who believes these rumors is stupid. Just wait until MS, or Sony actually confirms this stuff.

Aye, but truth be told, Cow's spent much of this gen on the receiving end of some vicious bashing from Sheep and Lemmings so I guess they are getting their own back.

These reports aren't being made from thin air... and the dev kits have been around long enough for people working with them to confirm these things being said about them. We all knew Kinect was going to be a big part of the next Microsoft console, so that alone is enough for me to say with certainty that I have zero interest in their products that have Kinect as a main feature.

 

Microsoft is greedy enough to be the only one to charge for online play, so why not block used games too? If Sony pulls this crap too I won't be buying that system either.

Based on the rumours, yeah it ain't looking too great. Hopefully once things get revealed officially its more positive. But as of now, PS4 is looking much more appealing. But even if all of these rumours are true, I'll probably still end up buying one because it will still have games I would want to play most likely.

While I'll be the first to tell you that rarely do we hear a rumor that doesnt have at least a shred of truth, but that said, There is nothing at this point that lends credence to one mythical console being better than the other mythical console and I simply can't feel anything other than neutral at this point. Both companies have things that they need to flesh out for me to board their hype train.

True, and it literally flipped them out... actually, to be honest, I can't say ive seen anything like cow behavior on the internet for these past 7 years. So much pain... but every faction gets kicked from time to time.

Scared to think I was hyping the PS4 to no end until recently.  PS fans go way overboard on the hype.  People are only setting themselves up for disappointment, you should always expect the worst, hope for the best.

Still think the PS4 will be incredible though.

You can't b that surprised, MS have been taking the casual and gimmicky approach since 08. Maybe they're suffering from the same arrogance that Sony had going into this gen. BigBoss255

If even half of the rumors concerning the NextBox are true, I can thank my lucky starts i wont have to waste any money on two next gen systems at the end of the year. PS4 wins my hard earned cash.  No next gen Kinect crap for me. If i am really lucky, Nintendo will step it up with enough awesome games for WiiU that i wont have to consider any other system this year. Do you guys really think the next box will be as lame as the rumors suggest?

Yep. PS4 will definitely be my choice if it turns out like this gen with the Sony console being far superior in every important aspect.

Good, Move is 100 times better than Kinect and completely optional. I dont have a problem with Motion controls, just the horrible arm waving Kinect which is rumored to be mandatory and required to operate the Nextbox.

This topic post is just stupid. NEITHER console has been announced. How can it be easy to choose when you don't know anything about either one that is 100% fact. Really??
