Wii-U = 2014 or 2015
PS4 = 2016 or 2017

Only buying first party titles and third party exclusives on either system. PC/3DS/Vita will take my time before that or during the rest of the years before I get either system.

Comparison to other generations

 

GCN = 2001
PS2 = 2003

Wii = 2008
PS3 = 2011

Wow very very similar to me.

GC-2003

PS2-2006

Wii-2009

PS3-2012

ill probably keep that trend goin and get a Wii U next year (this holiday depending on deals/bundles) and get a PS4 in a few years when its $200-250. I have a big back catalog of PS3 games (thanks to Plus) and 3DS has a lot  of games I need to get this year so im not in a huge rush to get a next gen system.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

PS4 a definite and xbox one or will invest in a $500 gpu for my pc.



PS4 on launch day, WiiU when the good stuff comes out.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Wii U - Whenever Nintendo decides to make me want it enough to save up for it. (I currently have a 3DS, which is enough for now.)



Well, the Xbox One is already off my list due to all the things I´m not willing to put up with.

The Wii U is a certainty because of Nintendo games, but only at the end of the year.

Waiting for Sony to reveal their plans.

i am glad i bought a wiiu. now that ive seen ps4 and one i can confirm i made the right purchase. not even if ps4 or one was $299. i just dont get what the big deal is. wiiu comes with a touchscreen TV and its better than the tvs i have. to me thats a big deal.



PS4 for sure. Wii U after a price drop, and possibly Xbox one depending on games or if it comes with Illumiroom.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Nothing at launch, unless Sony show more games that I want at E3. Knack is the only "I really want that" title so far, with Infamous being a "I'd quite like to play that at some point".

I don't doubt that I will be picking up a PS4 eventually though. As always, once it has the "3-4" games requirement that I normally go for. Hopefully they announce Ratchet, WipEout or some new IP's that interest me.

Wii-U eventually. There are 0 games I actually want on it at the moment and Pikmin on the horizon. 3D Mario in the pipeline could potentially sway me but for the current price point I think I'll hold off and save for PS4.

tl;dr: PS4 as an almost certainty; Wii-U as a "highly likely"; reserving judgement on Xbox for the time being.



ps4 if gta 5 launches on it this year or early 2014 (before march 2014) then ill buy a ps4 as soon as gta5 launches for the ps4

if no gta 5 launches on ps4 then i'll wait till a game that i want to play on ps4 releases to buy one as of now theres no SW unannounced for the ps4 that would make me go and buy one on launch or shortly after

the latest i'll buy ps4 is b4 2014 ends as i always ended up moving to next gen no later than a year after release and i can see myself playing the yearly 3rd party games on last gen HW for to long

never get a wii u

most likely wont get xboxone

That's a nice addition, and Sony+Nintendo Combo = Perfection

For me:

1992:SNES
1994:Gen/CD

1997: N64
1998: PS1
2013: Saturn (Hopefully)

2001: PS2
2001: GCN
2003: DC

2007: 360 (But now that I've experienced it, I want them last)
2009: PS3
2010: Wii

and, not that it really matters but

A while ago GBP & GBC, plus I one day want to own a VB (own 2/3 of the games I want for it already)

2005: DS
2012: PSP

2013 or 2014: 3DS (I need a redesign with a better battery and good colours for 3DS XL).
One Day.......: PSV
