Will Multimedia affect your next generation purchase?

Yes. Play a major role
It will play a avarage role.
Will play a small role.
Just give me games. No Multimedia.

Next year at Xmas the next generation in home consoles truly kicks off with the relase of one if not 2 of the power competitors of console market.

With tecnology taking the route it as over te last few years Theres every possibility next generation will be more about the multimedia experience as a whole and less about just what games it has. 

Would its multimedia capabilities and communication with other devices like phones and tablets be something to influence your buy? If a home console could act as the only box you need under your TV where you could literally view anything from your current cable or satelite provider through it to linking your tablet as well, would that be part of the deciding factor over another console without those features?

Tell us. Have a vote. Or would you be happy having just a game console next to your cable box and Bluray player or whatever you have their already?

Swapnote/Letterbox stationery / WiiU vs. last gen and handhelds / Vita vs. Vita / the ultimate hunt / predict!

I predict Kid Icarus: Uprising will sell at least one million world-wide until the end of october 2012. Result: I was wrong.

Bet with ninjablade for 1 month avatar-control: PS4 vs. WiiU first 5 weeks global sales according to vgchartz. ninja blade says PS4 wins, I say WiiU wins.

Bet with platformmaster918 and ethomaz about PS3 overtaking Wii in total sales.

Bet with Lawlight: How many PS3 will Sony ship over 2013. He wins if that are more than 11 million, I win if it are less.

Do not open before E3: Danne Sandins conspiracy theory

Nintendomination

I buy them all. No need to taste one piece of the pie and think i'm special.

I will buy the system that will most likely give me a new Halo game. So far, I think Xbox might be a good choice then.

Top 5 responses from different users to Sonys forecast to ship only 5 million PS Vita and PSP combined for the entire year:

No. 5: "They probably prefer lower sales rather than makes losses" by Somini
No. 4: "PSVita's hardware is not like a handheld, its more along the lines of a living room game console in the portable case" by Joeorc
No. 3: "PS3 and PS4 are hurting the vita." by SOLIDSNAKE08
No. 2: "As long as Vita is on the market, its not a failure." by VGKing
No. 1: "The Vita is not a mainstream console!" by Somini

Multimedia does not matter to me. It all about the games and of those games its all about the JRPGs. They are the reason I buy consoles and whoever gets what I want will get my purchase.

Games are the only thing i look at when i buy a console. I will always have other options for multimedia-things.

Prediction: PS4 will be more powerful and cheaper than XBOX ONE

the legendary selnor comes out of the shadows to grace us with his presence.

multimedia will play no roll. the console i have the most interest in right now is Ouya

i'm already on borad with Sony, and waiting to see what more ninty has to offer.

Valve, i'm taking a wait and see approach. MS, i'm almost not interested.

-Online (Free on one? both? none?)
-Price
-Power (Similar? 2x? 4x?)
-Controller (Will MS/Sony switch it up like Wii U?)
-Release (MS or Sony first - really about initial price drop)

It'd be tough to switch to a MS console after being with Sony for 2 gens. I wish I could afford both, maybe by then I will be able to.
