I was never really a console guy, but in the 7th gen the Wii attracted me due to its novel control method. I later ended up getting an Xbox 360 after getting exposed to more people talking about console-only games, and I did enjoy some games on it. Though if I had to decide right now, I would probably buy a PS3 instead of a Xbox 360 if the purchase was to be today (due to the free online mostly).
However, right now I'm not seeing myself buying a console in the next generation. I was disappointed with the Wii U reveal, the tablet controller doesn't excite me at all (especially if Nintendo insists in not allowing local multiplayer with it, which would be its killer feature IMO). As for Sony and Microsoft, unless they do something really innovative I'm not interested neither in improved graphics (which I can get on the PC) or in Kinect/Move like control methods which end up only being supported in a few gimmicky games.
To sum up, the excitement of the 7th gen of consoles does not seem to be repeating itself in the next gen, so it will be hard to convince me to buy another console, except possibly after many price cuts to enjoy some of the back catalog... Anyone else expecting to be on the same boat?
