Don't know what I am doing console wise next gen, whatever happens I will not be buying either a PS4 or Xbone at launch. This gen the 360 and the PS3 where really unreliable, the early 360 was obviously the most unreliable this generation but the PS3 had a shockingly high failure rate too with its 10-15% RoF compared to the Wii's 2%. I will wait and see how often they explode before I get either one, avoiding the post launch drought is another reason for avoiding them at first. If the Xbone crams loads of useless Kinect features into its games I will not be getting one of those at all, same goes for if they cannot keep their services running well so it causes problems with the daily check in.
I am considering a Wii U though, depends if the games start to flow for it. Never owned any Nintendo hardware apart from the old classic 4xAA cell brick Gameboy when I was 12, I recently bought a 3DS XL though and I can see why Nintendo fans are so loyal. The games are genuinely fun and well made, they also make a change from the usual games I play. I am thinking of getting either a Wii or Wii U to try some more Nintendo first party games out. I am leaning more towards the Wii U though because of its HDMI output and despite the touch screen the game pad seems more "conventional" with its dual analogue sticks, the greater support for digital distribution makes it a bit more appealing than the Wii as well.

If the keyboard feels a bit alien and is taking a bit of getting used to after playing consoles think about getting something like this. [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Hi-speed-Nostromo-Speedpad-F8GFPC200ea/dp/B0010YL6ZS/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_4] Gaming keypads put everything in an easily accessible layout that is closer to a controller and generally feels more comfortable than a keyboard. You can get all kinds, some even take the best of both worlds. You can have aiming with a mouse and analogue movements from a keypad with an analogue stick/nub. Most are programmable too, you can change the layouts and set up simple hotkeys and macros.
