PS4 will be purchased probably sometime within a year following the release. Wii U depending on when X and Zelda come out. Xbox has a lot to prove for me to buy in on the bullshit they plan on doing. So the only one I will not buy at this moment is Xbox One.

X, is sceduled for 2014 I believe. I remember reading another thread where NOA listed X for TBA 2014, and also reading an article saying that X will release in Japan in 2014, in not much later for NA and Europe. Same with SMT x Fire Emblem.

PS4 + X-One.

Really? I thought you played games on PC, wouldn't most of XB Ones exclusives be available on PC (like XB and 360 games are for the most part).

Is this your first MS console (You don't have any 360 games under "My Games" in your profile)? Why the sudden acceptance of MS?

For now, the
ps4- in 2013 or early 2014.
Xbox one-meh, only if they really blow me away with the exclusives, choice between this and ps4
Wii U-not interested

I have a Wii U, and I will be buying a PS4 close to launch if second son is good. Really excited for that game.

Which console? Wii U. Why? Because I can get most 3rd party experiences on PC, but I can't live without my Nintendo games. When? No less than 2 years from now.

Lulz, the X-One will be my 3rd Xbox console (I have two 360s [one Gears system, one Halo 4 one] + 38 games for them, and an original Xbox - Halo Edition). Don't know why you're having trouble seeing my 360 or Xbox games. 

So, there isn't some "sudden" acceptance of MS (not sure where I've shown that I was ever "anti-MS") and PC will still be my main platform, which is, ironically, a Microsoft device. I go where my interests are strongest. That would currently be PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

I only said "sudden acceptance" because I remember seeing a games list and it had no 360 games, but you know what, nevermind my bad. You were the one PS3 fan I knew who had 360 games in their collection, I just remember looking at MUGENs game list and Ethomaz's too and a few others and forgot you also had a 360. I just remembered PC was your main platform and forgot you also had MS console platforms, my bad.

How do you feel about the XB One? I only owned a 360, and it gave me a sour taste, and XB One appears to be making the same mistakes 360 did, so it will be a late buy if at all for me.

PS4 launch day. WiiU in 2014. XboxOne probably never but we'll see what those new IP are.

MS confirmed all my worst fears at their conference and I'm clearly not their audience. I'll get Nintendo and Sony because their interests fit me (gaming first) and they will have the first party content to get me to drop the dough. Simple as that. MS has yet to prove they can bring the kind of titles I want in great enough quality to drop $200 on their system (still haven't bothered with 360 even though I've played Halo and Gears at a friend's). Nintendo and Sony have shown over 3 straight gens that I won't be disappointed or screwed over later in the console's lifecycle. I trust them.

PS4/U, Nintendo's first party and Sony's 1st/3rd party Jp support is all i need
Considering 90% of the One's features don't work in Australia i really just don't see the point



ktay95 on 21 May 2013

oh and i already own both a Vita and 3DS, i love my handhelds



menx64 on 21 May 2013

I already have a WiiU... Between the 3ds and wiiU I am probably going to have very little time for a third console... so unknown...

PS4 at day one, I just hope I CAN get one. So, 2013.

I will probably get a Wii U eventually. Hopefully after Nintendo sorts their account system. Hopefully late 2014?

Xbox One, I'm not sure yet. The reveal just wasn't convincing and I'm not happy with all the pay walls (pay to play used games, pay to play online not lifted). I was very disappointed with the Xbox 360 (got it early 2011 then immediately MS went full force shift to Kinect - just my luck). Got to wait and see what MS announces at E3 so they still have a chance to win me over.


For some reason... I agree with this guy.

Im all for Xbox 360 but not Xbox One.

Currenly im still leaning to the Ps4 (With superior specs i believe).

But the technology Xbox One offers and the inegration is just unblievable. However Microsoft needs to learn that consoles are made for GAMERS. Plus the pay wall aswell.

Although.. theres always that 15 exclusives thing in E3.  



Yay!!!
