PS4/PC/Wii U here.

Nope. I've been rolling with the Sony/Nintendo combo since the PS1/N64 gen and that has served me quite well. PS is my primary and Nintendo is the complement. MSFT may have quality games, but they don't appeal to me so it us unlikely I'll purchase an Xbox.

The majority of my friends are on the Xbox, so that's an incentive to get one, but never 'switch'.

I don't like to think of it as "switching sides", as that implies some sort of brand loyalty. My inclination is to go with the PS4 so long as it is region free and Sony doesn't blow it somehow. But if Nintendo pulls off some kind of coup and lines up a bunch of crazy third party support between now and the time I'm ready to upgrade, I could go with the Wii U instead. Especially if they get Platinum to continue making exclusives for them the whole gen. That would be tough to pass up!

Realistically, I can't even imagine what Microsoft could do to get me to buy the Nextbox. They would have to make online multiplayer free, at least, and then go on a moneyhatting spree that even the early days of the 360 didn't see. I'm just not interested in their HaloBox/media hub bullshit at all.

FUCK NO!! I will ALWAYS be loyal to Kaz"Get Money"Hirai.

It´s not so easy because this generation Sony failed much. PS3 with difficult Cell, lack of ram, bad developer kits, very bad service. Then PS Vita with memory card fail, no new Games, only one account at the same time...

I will wait and see. Will Sony come up with the same bullshit? I do not have enought time to by all consoles. I will chose the best multiplayer console. Exclusives do not matter to me.

So far my PC/PS3 combination worked pretty well, if anything given what MS/Nin have been up to this gen I'll be sticking with that. However, since my PC turned out to be my main gaming choice this gen I'll wait and see what Sony does with the PS4 before deciding whether to get one at all.

Interesting poll result: so far nobody is defecting to Nintendo. WiiU doomed confirmed? /jk

You're my hero man. :D

My only switch was buying a Mega Drive back then, and I regret it. Not for me. Nintendo has the games I am hyped for, and that won't change.

can't switch sides since i am on all 3

I tried "switching sides" early this gen and it pretty much backfired on me with 2 burnt 360s and everything on the 360 that interested me going multiplatform or utter shit -Lost Planet was the reason for the switch and we all know how that game turned out-.

At this time I'm not tempted to get a Wii U because I'm from Romania and the only Mario that's valid for most of us here is the Super Mario Bros. NES one. Not a fan of Zelda or Metroid, and Pikmin is completely alien to me. And aside from Nintendo's usual franchises, I'm yet not seeing anything to grab my interest coming for this platform.

So no, I think I'll stick with Sony into next gen as well, adopting the next PS early on or later on, depending on the library and pricing. If I've seen anything this gen from Sony that's encouraged me to stay on this side of the fence it's the courage of launching and sustaining new franchises. Some games may be shit -Lair-, some may be just mediocre -Folklore-, but there are enough new IPs coming from them to warrant some trust for next gen.

I'll try to get all of the consoles at one point, if there's exclusive content to warrant the purchase. But otherwise...
