Buy PS4/X1 now, or wait for NX?

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.

Let's say this: My PC can get solid performance out of pretty much all PC releases up to 2014 as it at least hits minimum specs for most major games released up to that time. But I can't run Witcher 3 -- but I can run Witcher 2 like a boss!

But if my PC got a 10-20% boost in power all-around, I could run Witcher 3 pretty decently at near PS4/X1 like levels
