Have You already Made Your Decision on What Next-Gen System(s) You'll Buy?

[VAMatt]

I have owned (directly, as an adult, or via the family unit as a kid) almost every major video game console and handheld since the Atari 2600. So, I will almost certainly buy everything.

The question comes down to which one I will buy first. Assuming that the Xbox and Playstation release around the same time, my decision to buy one or the over the other will likely come down to Halo. If the next Halo launches alongside the Xbox, I will almost certainly be buying it at or near launch. If there isn't a Halo at launch, I'll probably be picking up a Playstation.

There are more exclusives on PlayStation that interest me. It's just that Halo is such a big draw for me, that there is essentially no chance that I will not pick it up around the launch window. I don't have enough time, nor can I really justify the expense, to pick up both systems at launch.

I suppose my decision could also be swayed by Destiny. It is by far my most played game in recent years. If I'm into it at the time the next systems launch, that could drive me to buy Xbox. That's where I play most of my first person shooters, as I prefer the feel controller. So, I guess we would need to be in a Destiny drought, and not have a Halo at launch in order for me to buy the PlayStation first.
