Lots of people answering no and I am one of them, I have never bought a console at launch at the very least I wait a couple of months but on the other hand if in the unlikely event I come into a truck load of cash I would probably get them day one this is all speculative however as I know either nothing (new xbox,ps) or next to nothing (wii u) about them.
Poll: Will you upgrade immediatly?

I'm still mostly a PC gamer, so when I bought a PS3 for my wife, it was the exception, not the rule. She's more used to consoles, but still only recently got her hands on a Wii and even more recently got me a 360.
I haven't even finished Halo 3 yet.
I think we'll still be good for a while.

Imma bide my time, maybe give it a year over which I accrue funds towards the goal of purchasing my next console.
If I had to guess now, I'd say I'll probably wait for the first price drop on the PS4. It really depends on when it gets its first must-have exclusive though. E.g. I bought my PS3 just before MGS4 released.
Microsoft could still win me over, but I'm not a fan of their current exclusives so they'd have to sign a few new first-party developers I'd say.
In the meantime PC gaming and playing old games will do me just fine.

Depends on launch titles.TheEmoSpeeds666 said:
If its in 2015 (which unfortunatley looks to be a reality), and the PS4 comes with GT6, then I'll buy it at launch, even if the console is hugely expensive, assuming I am aware and have put aisde some savings. Hopefully it'll have lots of other good games too, then factor in add-ons for the console ect, it could be very expensive, but then again, you get to play the console sooner and for longer (besides, playstation have this habit of bringing out awesome stuff, then realising 'oh shit' taking it off the shelves and replacing it with something cheaper and not as good).
Considering I play my PS2 more than I play the 360....
Also, no. Because they usually retail for near to a grand in New Zealand. Fuck, the PS3 DID! And unless the new consoles get new games, and not just shinier sequels, I think gaming in general can fuck off.

That depends, for everything but The Witcher 2, Metro 2033, and Battlefield 3 my GTX 580 gives me amazing FPS. If the 6XX series is an amazing improvement, I might be tempted to buy the most powerful single card in the line up. I really want to move up to a 1440p monitor and I just don't think a single 580 will cut it for BF3 at 1440. This time I'm not going to buy a reference cooler though...oh consoles...I don't do consoles.
I will wait and see how reliable the new Xbox will be, if its anything like the 360 I will probably avoid it until they sort it out. Not that I will hold my breath or anything, it took Microsoft years to even begin addressing the RRoD problems.
If the rumours about used game restrictions are true I may not even get one at all.

Recalling back to the early days of the Xbox 360, and how abominably glitchy it was, I'm gonna say wait, at least until something comes out not for the 360 that I really, really have to have right away.
Most new tech, in my experience, is overpriced, glitchy, and isn't long-established enough to offer enough new stuff to do. Time fixes all of those.
So probably a year, year and a half wait.

If the PS4 is announced with a new Final Fantasy game, and has full PS1/2/3 backwards compatibility, I'll buy it on launch. I probably won't buy a 720 because I've never gotten into the Xbox consoles. As for the WiiU, I'll wait until Metroid and Zelda are released for it before I purchase it.
I'd rather wait and then get a PS3 or 360 for a lower price. Hell, if they still have gamecubes or PS2s, they might be even cheaper.
