Xbox One already paid for which will be my first ever launch buy for a console.
Wii U probably sometime next year if they get things going.
PS4 probably never unless they focus more on western gaming. I just don't care for anything coming out of Japan anymore.

Congrats on your first launch console! Hope you enjoy it and run into no problems. We all (most of us) hopes Nintendo gets going...


Yea, started in the 80's with Atari 2600 but this will be my first ever launch buy. Really looking foward to it.

I've never purchased a console at launch. Closest for me was the Vita, which I bought last Black Friday. I'm thinking I'll get a PS4 next year, probably around the holidays. PS3, Vita, and PC will tide me over until then, I have little doubt. I also need to upgrade my PC, eventually.

Of course, if I win the lottery as planned, I'll get all next gen consoles. Maybe even a Wii U, too.


This is the reason I am tempted. The 360 was released when I was in highschool. I always had to depend on my parents for games and never ended up getting any until like 3/4 years after the fact when they were getting close to irrelevent.

The N64 was the last thing they bought for me and you know when that was? after I asked them for an xbox thats when. I starved my self and saved lunch money and bought my own xbox like a year after it came out and 360 like 2 years after it came out. this is the 1st launch I am finacially ready to buy them so it's the "can do" thats tempting me to bite the bullet.

We will see what happens, I still don't really know.

^Yes that's me ripping it up in the GIF. :)

Wii U-Have one :D

3DS- Have one :D

PS4- Infamous Second Son, Watch Dogs, Metal Gear Solid V, The Order, Elder Scrolls Online, The Division, and Destiny all come out next year. Not interested in any of the launch titles.

Vita- No thanks.

One- No thanks.

I'll probably get my PS4 in October or November of 2014 after most of the big Wii U titles come out that I want.



WiiU - Likely Holiday 2014. By that time I should be pretty well caught up on my PS3DS backlog. Also by that time, the Wii U's library will be extensive, and there should be some nice deals and bundles for the holidays, in my case I'm hoping for a MK8 one!

PS4 - Probably Holiday 2015. The PS3 is still kicking for me, and we know they're gonna cut the price and make new models n bundles (hence why I never buy a system at launch), so I may aswell just wait a good while. Gonna be a plethora of awesome games awaiting me!

XB1 - Likely never. Most third party games are multiplats, meaning I can just get them on PS4, so the only reason I'd want an XB1 is for it's first party, similarly with Nintendo systems. The problem for Microsoft is the little first party they have just doesn't interest me. The only game of theirs I liked a lot was Gears of War, but I can't justify buying a system for one or two games.

3DS - Already own!

PSV - Likely never. I think having 3 different consoles is enough for me, though being able to play LBP on the go is pretty tempting.

Including portables.

WiiU - Winter 2014 more than likely although things could change but unlikely. Waiting for more bundles, SSB4 and MK8.

3DS - Already pre-ordered the Zelda ALBW 3DS XL Bundle

PS4 - Winter 2015 (earliest) or Winter 2016 (the latest) - waiting for more games and better bundles.

PSVita - Summer 2014 (50%) - VitaTV release? Might get the 2000 series as well in the future.


Wow dude, you finally did it!

Ot: 3DS probably early 2014, or this holidays if I find a good deal.

WiiU, maybe by the end of next year.

PS4, I'd say early 2015, seems lika a good date, but if there is a good deal next year, I'll take it.

PSV and X1 are not in my plans, but I my choose X1 instead of PS4, if the games I like will be ported, and I start paying for online services.



I'll get a Wii U after I move and figure out my new budget (so in a year-ish?) and I'll be skipping PS4 and One. Right now, its not that I need a reason to buy a Wii U, its just that (due to personal reasons) I have too many reasons not too :(

About time you got a 3DS and joined the real master race ;) Your backlog, depending on your tastes, may be too big.

Damn, does everyone here know that I've been planning to get a 3DS for over a year now XD!?

Anyways, yes my backlog is gonna explode this month and next month :(.

I'm gonna probably buy 2-3 PS3 games and 2 other 3DS games (SM3DL + Pokemon X) this month and next month I will engage in the Steam Christmas sale!

LOL, you get around. Judging by your profile pic, check out Bravely Default for 3DS (depending on your region) when it comes out. It hasn't gotten enough love :(

Wii U - 2015 earliest. Mainly for monetary reasons. That's when the Wii U will most likely hit $200, and, with all of the gems slated for 2014, it'll have a solid library by then. Plus, Zelda's probably coming late 2015. Can't miss out on that!

One - Never...unless the next Halo totally blows me away.

PS4 - Probably never, but If I do get one, it won't be before 2017, heh.

3DS - Hoping to get it by 2014, but that all depends on how much I end up spending on my PC's video card... I'm poor.

Vita - No idea, but I do want to get one someday.



Already have a WiiU

as for PS4 and one neither of them have any games I want right now so I will wait untill there is something interesting to buy at least one of them for
