Will the 8th Generation of consoles be different enough to excite you?

[turtuls]

Since watching every E3 week since 2003, I watched 1st and 3rd parties show and boast how they are bringing something that fans want in the future and each year it seemed that the games coming out soon were looking better, moving faster, and pushing more of what the system can do. Right now I see nothing but good things for each console (except for vita.) The wii u (terrible name) is gonna push third party support, innovation, and (probably the most influential of all) convenience . Xbox will promote the hell out kinect more and it will get some more f/tps and adventure games from its first party ( I've given up on Rare.) Playstation will hopefully stick with sackboy and make him their mascot and push their play create share model for games. 3ds gave me some good games for free so I'm not complaining ( :) .) When I saw Vita ( another terrible name) I thought it would be cool with its entire library to download, OLED screen, "transfarring" , but for each positive i saw even worse negatives that came with it (expensive proprietary memory cards, a weak battery at sub optimal settings, buying the same games twice.) But that isn't my biggest gripe with the Vita ( man that name is terrible ) is that its going to split it self into 2 useless skus at launch. The reason the first at $300 is useless is because it boasts a higher price because it has 3G when AT&T already has 4G networks ( and I'm sure japan has 4G networks as well.) The sku at $250 is a bust because the hardcore at launch always bought the more expensive sku because they believe that if they are in it for the long haul, why the hell would they buy the inferior sku. ( My friends bought the 60g and the pro. I think I only saw 1 core and I never saw a 20g.) If Sony is smart they should hold off the $250 version and put 4G in the 3G sku. Other than that it looks like its getting some cool games and the screen looks like its gonna be a scratch magnet (sorry for the rant.) Each system seems like its gonna put out great things so I only see sunshine and butterflies in my view and as long as I still see trailers for upcoming games and can play and talk about them with my friends, I will always be excited for games on whatever they're on (even if they turn out to be crap.) :)


tldr: yes I'm excited for all but skeptical for vita
