No...no I'm not excited. Not because I don't want any new consoles but simply because I can't fucking afford them. *sigh* Considering that this last generation costed....WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH (No this isn't a rant about console costs, the consoles were expensive whether you found the pricing fair or not), I can only assume that the next generation will be equal to having to sell a lung and a kidney to afford them.

So Microsoft and Sony can take their time with getting the new consoles out as far as I'm concerned.
My thoughts as well. Even if one could afford it, this past console generation has been rather expensive. In fact, for the time I used it, with (some) regularity, I paid more to use and maintain my Xbox360 than I did for my PC.

I hate to say it, but you're probably right. At launch, I'm expecting the next consoles from Sony and Microsoft to cost more than the last gen did at launch. Assuming, of course, their plan is to bump up the hardware specs to match the better PC specs of today.

I'm a PC gamer born and raised, so I think if I were to get a console it would be for an exclusive I really need to get. Something like that is far and few though.

Seeing as I'm getting a proper PC in the next few months I'll wait for whichever console has the better library of exclusive games. Odds are this will be Sony's next offering of the Playstation if history is to repeat itself.
Might check out the Ouya thing, seems like an interesting piece of kit.

I'm reserving judgment until we know more about what's coming. So far, not impressed.

This console generation has gone on way too long (correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't this been the longest console generation in history even if you count the Wii U as the beginning of the 8th generation?)

PCs have gotten a massive upperhand over consoles now, and I'm thinking it may be too late for consoles in general unless they really step up their game with something truly amazing.

I think it's about time for the video game industry to seriously consider headset-based VR again. There was a brief VR craze in the late 90s but the graphics weren't very good, the headsets were bulky, and the screen resolution sucked. It's a different situation now. There's even some standards for stereoscopic video output since TV makers are all selling 3DTVs now.

With today's technology, you could make a really sweet VR headset. I'm hoping the Oculus Rift turns out to be as awesome as advertised.

Other: Slightly interested but certainly not interested enough to warrant buying one :S

Not in the slightest, as I just got my Star Wars Xbox 360 Kinect bundle this past summer.

I'll make do with what I have, thanks. There's plenty of 360 games from years past I never got the chance to play.
