Nope, and I really have no interest in the consoles right now. I'm just going to complete my migration to PC gaming.
Queue people only going for PC (as usual) and ones just skipping to PC in this thread.
I'll be going for a Wii U and then maybe a PS4 to see how things go from there but I do remain optimistic instead of being a cynical tech asshat that needs to tell everyone consoles are dead and PC gaming is the only way to go route.
I also await the future where consoles are still around and PC only people will yet again whine about how a console exclusive should come to their platform lest they have to snoop down to a "casual" level.
I'd also recommend that if you're a PC only person then visiting this thread to declare you were not getting a console would be ultimately useless since you never wanted to go for one in the first place.

I think the ps3 is my last console for a while. If the ps4 is supported well (not just good games that work but good firmware too), I might get one after it drops a couple of price points. As for the nextbox (even if all the horrible rumors aren't true and it has no major defects this time) I like playing online, just not enough to pay extra for it.
Buying a console at launch has never seemed worth it for me, mostly seems like a bragging rights contest whenever one of my friends does. Besides, we know NOTHING about the next Microsoft console, so the question being between the two is a bit silly, because there is only one informed choice here at all and we still don't have all the info on the PS4 either. I'll wait about six months to hear what problems they have and maybe decide then, that said, I've moved toward mostly PC gaming now anyways.
So far, the only console I want at the moment would be a Wii U, once it has a few more titles out.

It depends on if it gets more launch titles. If one of them is Versus XIII or whatever it will be called then, then I probably will. If not, and unless the director was lying and Kingdom Hearts III somehow becomes a launch title, then no. I can wait for when games that interest me actually come out for it.
Eh. I'm mostly still apathetic. If I get anything, it will probably be the PS4 after the first couple of price slashes. I haven't seen anything that makes me want it yet though, so I just might not buy anything this time around.
Microsoft is horrible to their customers and paying for multiplayer is stupid, so the NextBox is right out.
I probably will upgrade my PC though, could use a new graphics card as the current one is nearing 3yrs old. Might also invest in a SSD.

The most expensive the console will ever be?
Only about 2 worthy games, both at full price too?
The lowest tier possible of the console? (remember how the 360 only came with 20Gb at launch? Yeah, that was a nice deal...)
Having to deal with bugs and issues due to it not being prepared for a worldwide launch?
Yeah... I dont think so, I think I will wait probably 2 years

So far, I don't really have any interest in either one. If the Microsoft rumors are true I may never get one, which is a shame because the Xbox has been my console of choice for a long time. Hopefully it will turn out better than we're hearing. The PS4 didn't really catch my interest at all either. Basically, it's going to be a while. I'm going to have to wait and see what games come out and what people have to say about the actual system. I wish I could be excited. In the past always looked forward to seeing what new things were coming with each new generation. This time though, it just feels like a chore.
I almost never buy at launch, but I fully intend to buy. This is more because I'm always tight with money and it takes a long time to make that leap. Almost certainly going to be a PS4. Having to pay for online is a clincher, but it looks like Microsoft might want to make that an even easier decision
I'm waiting until at least post-E3 to decide anything. Even if one wows me, I won't buy it at launch.
I never buy at launch. I bought a slim PS2, have a slim PS3 and won't buy the PS4 for at least a year or two less a very good price comes around. Plus my PS3 can do so much more than play games so for the interim, I need not do a thing.
I'll be buying the PS4. Not sure when, though. Might be day 1, might be a month or two later. Sometime within the first year anyway.ShadowRatchet92 said:
I didn't vote because A) I'm not sure and B) your options were a bit overly specific.
I couldn't vote, my choice wasn't on there.
Definitely not going to buy either of these at all, they both look terrible. Steam, my Wii, and my PS2 are all I need.

My option isn't represented in the poll so here we go: The answer is "no" and "no". I want to get a PS4 eventually but I'm probably going to wait a year or so until either the first wave games are cheaper or, until they announce a slim version of the PS4. As for the NeXtBoX-DurangO or whatever I have no plans on grabbing that at any point. The DRM issue is the big issue I have with it and that's just one of the supposed issues. I can't wait to see if they integrated Kinect 2.0 or whatever so I can not only refuse to buy it but laugh at Microsoft. I got my Wii U on day one and can't wait for it to be next week so I can enjoy Injustice: in the mean time I have Monsters to Hunt.
Though, we're not 100% sure when yet.
