I suppose SotN is available on PSN

Since the topic of who doesn't like red dead redemption, I don't. I also don't get what people talk about story in this game because it is just not that great. It is shocking, but just that.

GTA 4 had clearly better gameplay and fun elements.

Every first gen PS console I've owned (1, 2 AND 3) all broke on me. Plus the PS4 could be over $400, and games will all cost $60.

If you get a PS3 for $200 now, you can get GT5 XL, Uncharted 3, InFamous 2 for $20 each. Plus there are a lot of quality games for $15 each. You could buy a PS3 and own well over a dozen AAA games for the price of a PS4.

So get a PS3. Besides, PS4 games are sequels of PS3 games so far. Do you really need InFamous: Second Son when you haven't played InFamous 1 and 2 yet?

Get a Wii U, why? Because it is outside of your bubble :).

Normally this late in a generation I would suggest waiting for the next gen. But since the PS4 won't have backwards compatibility and the PS3 has a ton of great games I have to elan toward the PS3 as a better pit. It may not have much of a future, but the PS4's first years won't have as many games as the PS3 has and the PS4 won't play PS3 games. So, get a PS3 now and when the PS4 has games you can't live without get a PS4 then. You'll still need your PS3 to play PS3 games, but if you're done with them you can trade it in for a PS4.

I'm hoping the NextBox will be fully backwards compatible so people won't have to make the same difficult decisions.

I would, too.

And on Xbox, too ;)

i always knew you were a genius. you have a eric cartman avatar, how can you not be?

TBH I would rather have a 3DS than a Wii U, I like Japanese games (which is why I make a big deal about when they come to PC like Darck Souls, Recettear etc), but the ones I am interested in are mostly on handhelds anyway which is why I have had a GBC, GBA, DS. I have tried Mario games they are just not my thing, the only pure platforming game I ever got into was Sonic 2 and I played that mostly co-op lol. The only Nintendo franchise I really like (not that I haven't played the others) is Pokemon and Metroidvania Metroid but they don't make those anymore. If getting out of my bubble means playing games I just plane don't like I will stay in my bubble thank you very much, I already play games from dozens of genres from all over the world from one man teams to AAA blockbusters I think I already have a bigger bubble than most. 

The only reason I would really get a Wii U is to play a few of the Wii games I missed, but if I wanted to do that I would just dive into getting Dolphin set up or just get a god damn Wii. I mean aparently they fucked up the backwards compatability mode for the PAL reigon on the Wii U as well. 

Ok that comes off as rather hostile/defensive but fuck it.
