No; Not because I think the PS4 is "a disgusting console", I just never liked Playstations really. Doesn't mean I don't hope it succeeds.

Basically this...I got my Wii U on day one and I've been really, really happy with it! I've beaten Mario Bros U, Lego City U and, caught up on Wii games that I missed out on these past years. Can't wait for Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 and, Game & Wario. What the Hell happened with Deus Ex by the way? I hope they didn't pull a Rayman: Razor's Edge e.e U needs more exclusives games...OH SHIT, MUTANT MUDDS IS OUT SOON!!

----

As for the PS4, I've given my view on it a few times before so here it is again because I like repetition: It's a Playstation! I plan on waiting until the slim model is released before I get mine. By then the launch games and many other 3rd party games will likely have hit bargain-bin prices. This is all depending on the size of the console though I suppose...we don't know how big or small the original model will be so if the slim or MK.II isn't significantly smaller or, better in whatever way I may just grab the original model since the MK.II will drive down the price of...that...one...

Yes - "pending other announcements". The announcements I'm looking for include;

- It's about £150 now (I know that won't happen for a while)
- You can't buy new gen games anymore, they're all on the PS4, XBox One & Wii U
- Here are at least 4 games you really really want for it.

THEN I'll very very likely get one. I may get a Wii U first if it gets enough exclusives I'd love - like a new Super Smash Bros or something. And yeah I'd be a sucker for a new Zelda.

Where's the 'No, I don't plan to get a console this generation due to money/PC gamer/insert reasonable excuse here'?

Of course I'm pending announcements, but so far the PS4 is looking good. The standout things so far I can mention are it's going to have some possibly annoying social bullshit, and some possibly really useful recording capability. They look like they're happy to take the best path for all at the moment, which is to do the opposite of Microsoft and end up being decent. If the PS4 was going to penalise used games, or make me pay for online, I'd probably go to PC.

Why is there a 'Yes' and 'No' for Pending announcements?
I wasn't going to after the reveal as it looked dreadful. But after the XO reveal, it looks like the lesser of two evils.

I want a console for fighting games and sports titles, so right now my sale is there for Sony to lose.

i went for the no dirty console option

although i'd have never worded it that way.

I've migrated over to PC gaming now. When my PS3 dies and i need a blu ray player/media hub, i'll look into consoles then

wont buy Nintendo due to their conflict minerals policies

Are you waiting for release titles? Price?

Are you a console gamer who likes to have both consoles? (for exclusives)

Are you a PC gamer who just wants a PS4 for exclusives? (or to play with friends)

Myself:
I prefer xbox, but I had a PS3 for exclusives like Uncharted, God of war and Killzone. I am excited to see what happens at E3, and if it looks cool and has good exclusives, then I will probably spring for it.
There's already 3 release titles that are must haves for me in the form of Killzone: Shadow Fall, Infamous: Second Son, and Watch Dogs, also very interested in Destiny.

I'm part of that supreme god race that just owns all the platforms because whenever I'm in work I'm basically made of money, I'll be leading with the PC with a Wii U and PS4 this generation as nothing on Xbox has yet interested me and my current Xbox is in several pieces and I'm using the main board as a set of coasters.

So for me it really depends on the pricing and what bundles are available to me, if I can get one with Shadow Fall, Second Son, and it either has a reasonable HDD or REPLACEABLE HDD/SSD (delicious R/W speeds...) then for around £400 it might be worth it to me, especially if my account and PS+ carry over. I do have a friend who's getting it day one so I'll have somebody to sink some hours into Killzone and Destiny with.

Otherwise this year I already bought a Wii U, and I'm planning on spending £800 on a new gaming rig ASAP.


Also I don't like the Xbox 360 cotntroller, dislike the stick layout and find it a tiny bit too bulky and jaggy, feels cheap to me.

Smash Bros is gonna be shown at E3 along with a new 3D Mario game, a new Mario Kart (strongly hinted at a Sonic x Mario karting crossover by Sumo Digital).

Also if you're in the US they'll be playable at select Best Buy stores.

I need to pick up Lego City desperately at this point but I still don't have cash, and it's lower on this list than Monster Hunter 3U and Super Luigi U.

On the topic of Mario Bros U, beat beat or just finished the game? I've got all the Star Coins up to world 6 and then half of the rest bar star road... Gotta say I hate fuzzies and munchers as much as ever ¬_¬

I'll see what I'm gonna do after the E3, still curious which games they're coming with.
But, most likely I'll just be upgrading me PC =)

I have all of the Star Coins in every world, including Star World. Sadly, it doesn't change the seasons or make the enemies look like my head. The only things I haven't beaten are the various challenge maps but those aren't really bound to the profile like the levels are so I'm calling it beat-beat. Not 100% but as close as I've ever been in a Mario platformer. Those star-map levels are a MASSIVE pain in the ass. If you miss a single star coin you might as well just go back and try again from the beginning.

PS3 is my system of choice for this gen and i have no reason not to believe that Sony will deliver more of the games and genres that i love on PS4!

I think of buying both the PS4 and the Xbox One, but not for the first two years of their life. Nothing of the announcements so far has done anything to change my mind about either console, so from here on out it's a waiting game. Hopefully in two years time both platforms will have gathered a number of great titles, the price should have gone down and any technical faults will have been flushed out. Debating right now which of the two is going to be better and why is pointless- only time and experience can tell us that, everything else is just hype and hate!

I'm trying to get the star coins in the mountain worl right now, steadily getting there, I've actually got most of the meringue clouds star coins but the mountains ones are a whole other league of irritating. Largely because I fucking hate those fuzzies.

I'll get there eventually, I can't wait for that patch to use the Pro Controller though. Also can't wait for Super Luigi U though I'm gonna hold out for a physical copy.

Star Road is on hold for me until I have every other coin though, because the first world is a spine coaster and, of course, FUZZIES.



Just look at that shit-eating grin. Fuckers know I hate them ¬_¬

Well, I'm not really in a position where I need a PS4 for next gen gaming (PC Gamer), but it's not as if the PS4 is actively repulsing me. If they come out with some awesome looking exclusives that turn out to be decent, I may pick one up on sale when I can afford it.

If they allow used games and an online connection isn't necessary then I'll get one.
Pretty much this, though I will wait for a price drop and a fair few titles I want to be released before I buy.

Where is 'No, I'm going to buy a PC instead this generation'?

An option that should be hilariously popular what with all the people asking for PC building advice these days.
I didn't include anything about the wiiU or gaming pc's because they already can be purchased. I wanted this poll to reflect the ps4 only.

Also, they only allow 8 poll options.
