I voted: STAYING WITH PLAYSTATION.

 

But the truth is, while I am a fan of the PS3, I'm not really a fan of brands.  In fact, over my whole video game history of home consoles since my older bother's ATARI 2600 that was handed down to me, I've mostly been a single home console owner (except for PS1 and N64 for the 5th generation), and I've never bought the same brand 2 generations in a row (I went with Dreamcast for the 6th generation).  So I'm not really guaranteed to buy a PS4.  But I have to admit, I'm now happy with the news that GAIKAI will likely be used to accommodate my backwards compatibility needs.

I'll wait to see what happens, because who knows, maybe VALVE comes out with something great, or maybe even Microsoft comes out with a fantastic XBOX 3, but as of now, PS4 is looking like it may have my business.  It looks like it has the lead atm, but I'll wait and see and judge them on their own merits when they arrive.  I typically don't buy until 1 1/2 years after launch anyways, so I'm in no real rush.

The Wii U (nderpowered) is pretty much a no go now, though.  Nintendo f'd up too much.
