How long will you wait for a new console?

I'm buying launch day baby, early adapter! 39 35.45%
 
I'll wait a few months, ... 21 19.09%
 
A year, no rush plenty of... 24 21.82%
 
two years, waiting for a price drop 20 18.18%
 
three years, want all the... 1 0.91%
 
More, I'm already anticipating a remodel 5 4.55%
 
Total:110

Going to change it up a bit and purchase a PS4 at launch. I waited around 6 months for the PS3 but now I have so many games to complete that even if it takes a while for there to be a few must have games I don't mind waiting as I will be frantically trying to complete my PS3 games.

Depends on when it releases.

I'm going to start college next year, so money will definitely be a bigger factor in when I get games than in the past.



No sooner than fall 2013. I'm waiting to see if the Wii U is actually worth whatever Nintendo's gonna charge for it, and if it has some compelling games as well. Also waiting to see what the story with the Nextbox is... will it be out within a year of the Wii U's launch, and if it is, will it have a compelling launch library.

Right now, my 360 should easily tide me over for a couple more years with all the games coming out for it in the future, like GTA5, Halo 4, obviously whatever COD comes out, etc.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Same as Xbox and Xbox 360, exactly a year after launch



 

will be buying the PS home console within a year or so of release...hopefully. need to see what it has in store first tho

pretty sure won't be buying a WiiU tho..Ninty first party games just bore the hell out of me in general. and doesn't look like they have anything promising in any genre outside of platforming atm. Thinking of buying a xbox within 2-3 years of launch tho.

I'm still not sure if I will be buying any of the next generation home consoles at all; I do know that I will not be buying any within the 1st year.



i can wait anyway the PS3/360 are good enough to last me alot more time



Wait... does this mean im not human?

In the past I always waited a couple of years but next gen I will buy both PS360 on launch day.

Can't wait for a new generation. Will buy at least 1 at launch (either next Xbox or PS4), and probably the other later on (if I buy the next Xbox at launch, I'd buy a PS4 when Team Ico's game came out. If I go for PS4 I'd get the next Xbox when/if it has enough exclusives that appeal to me). Pretty much certian I'm not going to buy a Wii U though.

As a big shot reviewer on a major gaming site don't you feel obligated  to own all three consoles?



2012 or early 2013 after xmas debt is out of the way.

WiiU will be mine!
