XBox One- Microsoft needs to convince me that they'll have exclusives other than FPS and the occasional racer. If that's your thing, great, but I'm not into them. A price drop or Kinectless SKU would also help.

PS4- PS4 kind of wins by default if Nintendo doesn't magically get third party support and XBox doesn't have something stellar. I need a second system for third party games and right now PS4 is ahead by virtue of price alone. As for what they could do to get me to go out and buy one right away, I dunno. I've just never been that into Sony's exclusives.


The only PS4 game that's remotely interested me so far was InFAmous. Thank god my friend has a PS4 and thank god I beat it on his. It's a glorified tech demo. Extremely disappointing game. Not bad, but not worth $60 and not worth a $400 console. The controller is really nice though. Very premium, feeling. Terrible battery life though. Pro Controller users are way too spoiled there.


I actually prefer the XBox One controller which is very nice.  Nothing on the PS4 interests me now, but I'll want to play Mass Effect 4 and Kingdom Heartss 3.  Mass Effect 4 I could do on PC if I used the money for that instead (which is tempting) but other multiplats will be late, or have crappy PC ports, plus I'm not all that tech savvy.


I should note that any company that announces Shenmue 3 or Mega Man Legends 3 instantly wins. 



Around the Network

Already own a Wii U and X1.

PS4 - Needs more top-notched exclusive games. Yes, we get it.. they have a history of awesome exclusive games. But that's what they're really lacking right now. At the moment, it seems like the only reason to buy a PS4 is if you want slightly more enhanced visuals for multi-plats.
X1 - Gonna be getting Sunset Overdrive, looks pretty cool. Still waiting on any Gears of War stuff. Would like to know more info about Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary, Quantum Break, and the new Fable. Hoping you guys have some new IPs in the works.
Wii U - Just waiting on both Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8. Would love to see a new Mario Tennis, Strikers, and Party (Please add online support for all these games). A new StarFox game would effin' awesome! More info and gameplay from Sonic Boom please.



PS4: Gran Turismo stuff. Either GT6 for the PS4 of the next game. I also want to see new IPs.

WiiU: Something NEW. I love the Nintendo franchises but I won't buy a WiiU for just the same series over and over again and for once SSB will not be enough to sway me.

Xbox One: Something that isn't a shooter, a kinectless SKU, and for the love of god let me use things like Netflix without a Live subscription. I don't play online enough to justify for a PS+ AND a Live subscription and I'm sorry but MS losses on that toss up.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Wii U: Already have one
PS4: 100 price drop and more JRPG games
Xbox One: 200 price drop, revival of some Rare IPs and some JRPGs



They would have to show gaming in a way that pushes the industry forward like we've never seen before. Right now, they're just last gen consoles with better specs, playing catch up with Steam. That's not going to cut it for me.

I honestly believe we won't see the "next big leap" until VR is a thing.

PS4 - Already own one, but they could announce more games. Uncharted, Guerrilla Games next title, etc...

X One - Price drop, ditch the kinect, and announce more games.

Wii U - Not sure what they can do since I'm not that interested in Nintendos first party that much. Price drop I guess. lol.

PS Vita - Nothing you can do Sony... I won't buy it.

You bought the PS4, which has almost no great games, but completely reject the Vita, which has some awesome games, just because?

Good job, you're really missing out on some amazing games.

This is coming from someone who owns both, I hate this mentality -_-


Well not exactly just because. I honestly wouldn't play it much if I did get it. I would never carry it around with me... I already have to carry my phone, wallet, keys... Don't really want something extra to carry just to game. I already have a PS3, PS4, and a decent PC that have plenty of games that I can play. I actually have several games on PS3 that I still haven't gotten around to playing yet. The only mobile gaming I do is on my phone and even that is quite rare. I just prefer playing on my TV or PC monitor.



WiiU: Xenoblade HD
Playstation 4: it's already announced, KH3
xbox one: only if something like khiii moves exclusively to xbox1 happens lol



I have all 3 but I would say what would be more impactful for me is if Project Beast is real and seeing The Last Guardian show up. On XB1 it would have to be something brand new I haven't heard of to show they are committed beyond Halo, Gears, Forza, and Fable. For Nintendo I would want to see more of X, want to see Zelda, and a new IP. I need something new from Nintendo that has nothing to do with their past franchises. A new IP from Nintendo would really surprise me. I know they are working one but I prefer to see to believe.



PS4 - Something really amazing. KH, MGS, and FF are all multi-platform now, and those were the only reasons I bought a PS2 and PS3. Maybe if an amazing RPG were to come out (Project Beast) or an FPS that doesn't suck, maybe I would buy a PS4. Also will wait for $299. Won't buy at current price since I already spent more on an Xbox One.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Microsoft needs to announce a Halo 2 anniversary that plays EXACTLY like halo 2. None of this stupid perks/random drops or loadouts from halo reach and 4. Just good old fashioned halo and if buy an X1 instantly. If not... well then I'll probably never buy one. Don't care about any of the other consoles.



Long Live SHIO!
