Xbox 720, or PS4?

So, I'm looking to give Microsoft & Sony a fair chance at next-gen.  Previously, I was not happy with Sony due to constant malfunctions with my PS2 & terrible customer service support.  I went with Xbox 360 this gen, and I made sure to wait until the 3 year warranty was enacted before purchasing.  I was happy with Microsoft this gen -- even more than last gen.  Overall, I can say that I'm leaning towards Microsoft, but I'm seriously willing to wipe a clean slate for Sony this time around.  I'm not a fan of Kinect/Move controls -- I'm REALLY hoping this will not water down most future titles.

 

1. Has the RROD, YLOD or any other malfunction forced you to abandon Microsoft/Sony for next-gen?
2. Are you purchasing the console based upon pure fanboy/girl bias?  Be honest.
3. Will you purchase the console at launch, or will you wait for the "beta testers" to jump the gun?
4. What is your maximum budget to warrant a purchase?
5. Could an extended warranty sway you from purchasing a competitor's console?

 

 

1. No. Mine did RROD multiple times, but Microsoft fixed it each time for free, which made me very happy. No YLOD on my PS3.

2. Generally, yes. I owned an Xbox and then got a 360. But my satisfaction with the 360 was the highest of consoles that I've owned since the SNES, so I'm primarily going to purchase because I know Microsoft will do a very good job next-gen.

3. Launch. Probably waiting inline for a few hours, and/or pre-order online. When the 360 came out, I bought 2 (with my brother), sold 1, and got one to keep essentially free. I'd like to do that again.

4. Probably $400. Anything more will make me really reconsider.

5. No. I care about games.
