Aside from being a proud member of the PC Gaming Master Race, I just don't see anything appealing about the next console generation. I own an Xbox 360 and use it more frequently as a DVD player than as a gaming console...
The thing that ultimately keeps me from going PC is that I like sitting infront of my TV just too much.VanQ said:
I will buy a new gen console, that will be PS4, while I maintain my gaming PC. Simply because I want to play some exclusive titles in the system, play co-op with friends on a couch and have a much easier system to take with me when I'm going on my friends cottage for a few days as part of our entertainment.
Yes. I already bought a WiiU.
No. I will never, ever buy an Xbone. If one lands in my lap (say from an aircraft exploding overhead from all the fail it's carrying as cargo) I may keep one as a display piece.
No. I will not-with Sony's current plan for the thing-buy an Osiris. If I can't keep my PSN info, and trophies, than I won't be purchasing it.

GTA V, gran turismo 6 and watch dogs will be on PS3 so im happy with that. Those 3 will last me a year if not longer
Also at the moment my PS3 is only used as a freeview box so i dont play enough to warrant a new console

No. For the first time in my life I have very little to no interest in any of the consoles on offer. Besides that I don't have the funds available to buy any of the new consoles. If I ever do get the funds I may may consider getting a Wii U, but that's not looking too likely ATM.
No. This generation of consoles looks to be nothing better than overly limited PCs chock full of stupid and unwanted non gaming related gimmicks. Other devices and industry leaders already do the features outside of gaming better than these johnny come lately machines, and usually for less money, and with less limitations. And my three year old PC still has had no issue playing any new game I've tried at max settings.
I just can't justify the cost vs benefits of these new consoles. About the only thing I see that could compel people to buy them is game exclusives. But for me if a game maker decides to limit their customer base by denying players choices on what platforms they can play their game on, I would rather not reward them for such behavior.

Might be worth looking into Steam Big Picture Mode then. I haven't tried it myself but it seems like that could solve that issue. I used to have my PC hooked up to a TV and played from the couch when I lived in a tiny apartment a few years ago and it worked just fine with controller enabled games. Only seems like they're trying to make that easier than ever.Casual Shinji said:

I usually wait a year or two (sometimes more.) However, I'm voting with my dollar this time. It isn't just important for me to NOT buy an XBox One. It's important for me to buy an alternative this time so that I 2-for-1 Microsoft for being retarded. As long as there are no major missteps and it comes out of the gate reasonable enough, I'll Day 1 PS4.
At the moment, I'm just leaning towards being a mostly PC gamer.
My friends have all switched mainly to PC so I'd be able to join them, and since the only interesting feature of the new consoles I've seen is improved graphics, so I might as well just invest money into making a game look really, really good on PC.
But I know I'm very easily swayed by exclusives. If that rumour of Mirror's Edge 2 being an Xbox One exclusive comes to anything, my choice may have already been made.
I love Mirror's Edge so god damn much.

I play on PC for the most part, but I am interested in the WiiU, and will probably get that closer to christmas, or early next year. Wind Waker HD is a big part of that, but Nintendo also has the most exclusives I like. Also planning on getting a 3DS sometime when I have a bit of excess moneys to burn.
I won't be getting a next gen console because I'm poor because there just isn't anything worthwhile in terms of exclusives to be excited about, and I don't even need to mention Xbox bone because everything has already been articulated as to why I won't be getting it.
