Buy PS4/X1 now, or wait for NX?

[Intrinsic]

Multiplat? And you mention a Nintendo console? Have you been loving under a rock for the past 18yrs???????

There won't be a PS5/XB2 before 2018. that means you have at least 3-4 years to enjoy them. And I don't think there is anything about what Nintendo is now or has done in the last and current gen to make you think they will make a console that is on oar or more powerful than a PS4.

Think of it this way. Its all about that BOM. If Nintendo is making a console that they sell for $300? And I'm talking about a basic traditional console. And that console is being sold for any kinda profit, then there is no kinda sorcery they can do to make it more powerful than the PS4. Especially when u consider that by the time the NX launches (assuming it comes out next year) it will be competing against a console that not only costs around $250 or less by that time but also has an install base of over 45M.

That last part is what's important. Multi..... third parties go where the money is. unless you're willing to money hat. which Nintendo has never shown that they do. And at that time, the install base of the NX will be too small to justify and full blooded third party support. especially when we are talking about the same games being released across three platforms.

In summary. if you wanna buy for Nintendo games. Then by all means get an NX. of you wanna buy for multiplats and the odd exclusive that may not come to your PC, then get a Ps4. If you want to game with your friends and aren't interested in Sony exclusives. then get the XB1.
