I have seen alot of polls and threads asking if people will buy a specific console or not, or whether they will jump ship to a different manufactuer this generation. But I have a very simple question I want to know the answer to, now you have seen the consoles and we all have an idea what they are offering, which (if any) will you be buying? And why?
Poll: So what 8th Gen console will you buy?

I already own A WiiU, and my brother is going to get an XBone (he doesn't care about it's negatives). Still, I'll be focusing on the WiiU this time around.
Already own a Wii U and I will be getting a PS4. There's no chance I'll get the Xbox One.
Captcha: hard captcha is hard
What the hell captcha! At least wine and dine me before you expect to get some!

Although I am a little switched off by the whole "you must have playstation plus or you can't play online" thing, it is still going to be a PS4 for me. The Wii U just doesn't have the games i want and, well, I won't get into it about the Xbox One.
I already have a Wii U because its exclusive titles are must-haves for me; I just can't skip a Nintendo console or handheld. I actually got to thinking about the PS4 post-E3 and there's really not a lot that can justify me getting in the first year. There aren't enough exclusive titles that entice me and it has NO BC with either games or peripherals, thus limiting my interest. I might get one down the road, but for now I can live without it
Oh so very agreed. I definatley won't buy at launch unless the line-up is really strongTehCookie said:
With a whole bunch of neat WiiU titles coming out over the next few months I'm planning on finally picking one up.
Not really interested in PS4 or Xbone at this stage.

Probably none. I bought all three consoles this generation and hardly touched any of them compared to my PC. Specifically, the games are just too expensive for too long to justify me purchasing it and I've yet to find a cheap and reliable source of used console games. GOG and Steam have ruined me. Maybe I'll get a PS4 used years down the line, we'll have to see. Maybe I should try out Gamefly again.
I will buy a ps4 cheaper than an xbox one and i really want to play rpgs and the 360 really never delivered on that before i wont buy a wiiu cause i dont really find alot of the nintendo games worth playing and if i feel like it looks interesting ill just go to my friends house to watch him play or see a lets play video
None of them. I considered getting a PS3 and maybe updating to a PS4 when sales started kicking in, but the only reason I considered it was the free multi-player. Without that I have no interest what so ever.
The whole concept of consoles looks like an evolutionary backwater to me. I will not support such shoddy business practices from any company, so I will be sticking with the relatively open PC, and switching to Linux as soon as it is a viable gaming platform.

After looking into pre-ordering a PS4, I decided I'm not getting any of them...
Since PS4 is looking to retail for $550 here in Australia....
2 words...
stuff that.
Since at E3 they said retail for $400 in the US, the Australian prices can go to hell... I'll probably look to import one since it'd be so much cheaper...
So, yeah...
Until prices come down... a LOT
none...
PC Gaming here I'll stay

As of now? None.
I got the PS3 rather late, too, but at the moment there is just nothing for me on these.
I'm leaning towards the WiiU the most, simply because I skipped the Wii, and it had some nice first-party games like Zelda and Mario.
Still, nothing that would actively make me want to buy a console.

As of now, none of them. I'm not some PC master race overlord or anything. In fact my PC is way behind the times. But of the consoles, I'm favoring the PS4. Here's how it works out, from least interested, to most interested (of the big 3 console brands);
Xbone; All the points you've heard that paint it in a negative light. I'm already anti-drm, and this system is the biggest poster child I've seen for it. If ever the gaming community wanted to be heard saying "No, we do not want your DRM," this is the product to not buy to make that point. What's more, Microsoft is favoring publishers in this cycle, putting us consumers on the block. I choose to be no where near the block.
Wii U: All the Nintendo games I ever wanted came out on the Gamecube. And I have mine still. I play mine still. I've played Wii games, and Wii U games. There's very little content (note: Not play styles) that is different from other titles. I can play my Zeldas, and my Marios. About all that I grieve over is the Metroids.
PS4: It's a PS3+1. It does what the ps3 does, but better, and with a few more features. If that's all, then I'm not ready to upgrade. There are games I'm interested in, but I'm content to wait for those most-haves. Also, while this is my most favored console, let it be known that I don't believe Sony is delivering a better consumer product. I believe Sony is just screwing us the least. (Arguably Nintendo is screwing us the least, but their 1st party video game stamp is stale, and the ink pad faded. It's the beast you know all to well.)
The $5/mo is Sony's obvious foundation for the bandwidth all the online features are going to use. Uploading to youtube, jumping into someone elses game, live-streaming, etc. It's by no means a bad thing. They need to be able to support their product, and here they can guarantee that they have the funds to do exactly that. It's not a feature I necessarily want in my product, so I'm going to wind up paying $60/year just so I can play some games online. So it's the console that's screwing me the least.
So for now, I'm staying with the PS3. I'll eventually upgrade to the PS4. Or if I absolutely must have the next gen graphical upgrade of a Nintendo experience, I'll get the Wii U. (Honestly... a solid Metroid game would do it.)

Usually get them all this gen I am skipping the Xbone on principal, the games are important but not important enough in the face of what this console could mean if excepted.
Eventually I will almost certainly get a PS4 and WiiU but atm there are no games on either I want. I have also thought about upgrading my PC but I rarely play on it now thanks to DRM mess PC gaming has become, still there are still some good boxed games for it and GOG is good to but these are usually old games or at least not ones I have to upgrade for.
Handhelds I will just stick with my DS and PSP I hardly ever play games on the move I much prefer reading same deal with gaming on tablets and laptops it just isnt for me.
