Okay... so I'm going to need my Platformers dang-nabbit!

And with Mario (both 2D and 3D), Donkey Kong (2D), and Kirby, Nintendo has some franchises I just can't miss out on.

Sonic has a larger fanbase on Nintendo consoles too, but he also appears on other consoles (like Sonic Generations...), so I'll most likely be an owner of two consoles next gen. Not too sure which console manufacturer it'll be though.

So yeah, I'll be a double console sort of guy next gen... but the second console (aka Sony or Microsoft) will be after a library is robust enough for me to make a decision... or if a Sony/Microsoft exclusive Sonic game comes out haha.

ok. reading post again before posting.

likely 2 consoles. so nothing else no specific features or anything? well seems as if this is another post id have to say i was looking for; i mean others talked about games in genres but not like this so yea.

robust library is definatly a plus.

Where the games are.

Otherwise: Nintendo & Sony.

come on CG. this is your most boring post ever and its sad cause its the only boring one i've seen and its in my thread that kinda hurts alittle.

where the games are really doesn't say much considering where the most games are could suck? all the games could suck which isn't the case for either console this gen and is very unlikely next gen.

so no careful planning from the inFamous CGIQ? once again borring post with no detail wasn't wht i was expecting from u.

It's a slow day!

well your so consistant i can look the other way for this one time.

yea it does seem to be slow today.

I think the problem with MS is there's very little exclusive MS content now.   Halo has gotten long in the tooth.  Bioware has gone multi-platform.   Viva Pineta seems dead.     They closed studios, released Bungie.

What's left?  Fable, and Rare and Gran Turismo.   Hardly compelling reason to remain exclusively loyal.    At least not when compared to Sony and Nintendo's extensive 1st party offerings.



srry im missing it but i love the pic

My allegience will lie with whoever has the games that I want to play the most.

That would be Nintendo for me. But to make D21lewis happy, i would go for Microsoft.

probably go with sony. at the start of this gen I was well kind of blinded by loyalty which kind of worked out to be the best option imo just looking at the games and the gaming experince I have had this gen.

next gen however I intend to think it through to see which is offering the best for my money. so I will be waiting for more info before my final decision.  all sony have to do is keep doing what they are doing and they will probably get me though.



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).

Like CGI said wherever the games are. But most likely Sony since i just plain love thier 1sp party games and studios. Microsoft might reel me in if they just get rid of that online  GOLD bullshit. And i don't see Nintendo getting me at all unless they stop making mario and zelda ( i mean make some really good new IP's) or if they finally bring out that pokemon MMO.

i will be buying the ps4. hopefully itll jump to a quicker start than the ps3 though.

Since I got PM'd...

Can't really say which console(s) I'll be buying until I see what each have to offer. Potentially all 3 again, potentially just 1. Either way, none of them are getting my 'allegiance'.

another post that falls in the right. exactly wht i was looking for.

look before you buy. thanks Machina.

ok sounds great, and im sure you mean new ip for the big 3 as a whole before you commit to a reall purchase.
