I kind of agree, for me the most exciting games being released in the final few months of the year are Total War: Rome II and Grand Theft Auto V.

However, they are both coming out in September, so I should in theory be done with them 2 months later

As for the price cuts, I don't think that dirt cheap consoles are really competing with the new consoles, everyone who would be buying a next gen console already owns a current gen console. It is probably better to get the price cut out of the way this year, rather than wait until next year when you are looking for a wider audience

The one problem is that for people on the fence, they can play the majority of both launch line-ups on their current gen platforms, though of course we don't know how well they will actually run

Not to start a flame war, but the 360 is truly on its last leg. Just with the line up for the next 9 months I can't really see Microsoft pushing it too far past 2014. Sony on the other hand still have many first party titles in the pipe line and this could negatively affect their new console. This remains to be seen but a price drop on both consoles are really going to shake things up. 

I don't have to.

you said ultimate experience. Ultimate has no money boundaries. 

No, next gen should be here already.

After I play TloU,Gow Ascencion and Tomb Raider this gen is over for me. I think most people want next-gen.

I'm hyped for both. Knack, KZ, BF4 (PS4 version), AC4 (PS4 and maybe), Watch Dogs (PS4), Ratchet Nexus (so excited to get back to a good Ratchet), Beyond 2 Souls, Puppeteer, GTA5, KH HD, plus all my free PS+ games including Driveclub and an indie at least (they said one a month so depending on if it comes in October or November we'll get 1 or 2 this Fall) will have me plenty busy and probably building up a decent backlog from September through January.

I would never even consider BF4 on current consoles.  I mean seriously why go with 24 player 30fps MP when you can have crisper looking 64 player matches with 60fps plus all the new social features (in my case the PS4 ones) and better networking of next gen consoles?  I know there are still a lot of preorders for it but I simply would never want that version.

Is that something special? Because it seems like nearly all console launches are met with limited or sold out stock. That's just the it seems to be now.

Although, I'm not saying they won't. Because they most likely will.

GTA5 yes, price cuts no.

Does it have to be special? Fact is like kowen said they'll be sold out so it doesn't matter.

PS360 even with cuts will still be winding down going into next year, and WiiU isn't going to be a threat.

Yeah, with nothing in the launch exclusives looking like anything close to GTAV or Nintendo's games, I can see the PS4 and X1 losing steam soon after launch. They will both sell out at launch though, that is almost guaranteed.
