Buy PS4/X1 now, or wait for NX?

I wouldn't buy the NX as soon as it launches. What is going to be there? At best 3D Mario, Pikmin 4 and a port of Zelda U. Buying a year or two after lanch would be wiser.

I'm maybe a bit more optimistic. The WiiU even with all its setbacks launched with several AAA ports. I figure the same will follow for the NX, but maybe actually work this time.

What's challenging here for me is that PS4/X1 aren't much more powerful than my near 5 year old PC, but I don't really have the option to upgrade it. So even at $300 for PS4 doesn't seem that much of an upgrade to me. Especially if that console only goes on another 2 years post-NX.

If the bolded is when you're takling raw specs (ie. numbers) then that is sorta irrelevant. I can assure you that (assuming you mean raw specs with the bolded) the PS4 and the XBO are both way more capable at actual gaming, despite only being a bit more powerful than your PC.
