Console:
Reason 1:
Reason 2:
Reason 3:
Reason 4:
Reason 5:

Example:

Console:Xbox one
Reason 1: I don't mind paying extra since it comes with a kinect which makes up for the price.
Reason 2: It has a better controller in my opinion
Reason 3: It comes with kinect which is much more advanced than the PS eye
Reason 4:It has better online multiplayer (interface)
Reason 5:it has titanfall

 

[madwarper]

Oh, you're back...

Neither. Xbox Live Gold? PS+? Fuck having to pay an additional fee to play games online.

Pc guy hey? Well yeah, I see your point but a good pc costs a lot. Some can be more than an xbox + 5 years of xbox gold. I've tried pc gaming. I brought an $800 laptop but it runs batttlefeild at lowest settings at around 30 FPS :/

 

[OneCatch]

Console: Desktop PC
Reason 1: I already have one that remains upgradeable for far cheaper than buying a new console
Reason 2: I like strategy games which are under-represented on console
Reason 3: As a platform it is less commercialised and has less privacy concerns (once adblocks are enabled anyway)
Reason 4: Games are cheaper (albeit unable to resell, but that doesn't matter to me personally because I keep all my games)
Reason 5: It's a better multimedia machine than consoles and I can use it for all computer tasks without having to buy multiple devices

Nice post! But next gen consoles make your last reason obsolete. Especially xbox one. It's called xbox all in one for a reason. You can also watch youtube, browse Facebook, twitter and stuff on ps4 too

Yeah, but PC still remains a little more flexible in terms of having a proper browser, keyboard, etc. I have no problem with consoles, but I can't envisage myself doing all my day-to-day internet activity on one, not to mention writing, work, media storage, etc.
In certain respects (sharing video for example) they'll almost certainly be better than PC, but not across the board.

I did actually think seriously about getting a console before I got the PC, but since my laptop had died I'd have ended up buying a console, and then a computer as well for work and so on (which would have cost the same if not more than building my gaming PC). And I'd have had all kinds of headaches trying to get my beloved RTS games to run on a cheap laptop or desktop!
But I don't pass judgement on anyone who has a console (I do think that Microsoft properly ballsed up some of the Xbox One policies, but that's a different story entirely). It's just that my circumstances basically meant that a gaming PC was the only decent choice.

I just use my ipad for all my media needs. I own a pc but only use it for games I don't have on xbox (like the pc version of minecraft)

 

[Hazy992]

Well I'm going to be buying a PC in a few weeks so that will be my platform of choice, but for the sake of argument:

Console: PS4
Reason 1: Cheaper. I don't have to pay an extra £80 for a peripheral I have no interest in
Reason 2: Better indie support
Reason 3: More games I'm interested in (only Xbox One game I really care about is Titanfall but I'll just get it on PC)
Reason 4: Cheaper online services, which also won't bombard me with ads and gate free services behind a paywall
Reason 5: Still a little sour about the DRM. I know it's petty but I just don't trust them any more. They need to earn my trust back.

 

[J Tyran]

Console(s): PS4 & Xbox One, PS4 before Christmas and the Xbox One March/April next year
Reason 1: Sony Exclusives
Reason 2: Xbox Exclusives
Reason 3: PS4 and PS Vita interplay and Xbox Glass with the Xbox One look interesting
Reason 4: PC gaming is my priority but I still like some console games like Halo and Killzone.
Reason 5: My PC has an upgrade (GPU) planned next month to meet next gen requirements

Why you gotta go posting for me, Hazy?

Now I feel like I can't contribute to this thinly-veiled "Xbox is the best!" thread.

More OT: I'll likely be getting a better PC and a Wii U (though the latter highly depends on the quality of the 3DS version of Sonic Lost World) before a PS4 or Xbox One, but since apparently neither of those options matter to the OP-
PS4
[ul]Reasons (that mostly weren't already said by Hazy):
[li]I don't need a Kinect. I don't have room for a Kinect. It's still mandatory with the Xbox One.[/li]
[li]Playstation controllers have always felt more comfortable to hold than Xbox controllers for me.[/li]
[li]If I were possessed with the want to play online, PS+ offers much better deals than Xbox Live at the moment.[/li]
[li]Partly as an addendum to the Kinect point, $100 is not an insignificant amount of money.[/li]
[li]As stupid and cocky as Sony have been in the past, Microsoft has a long history of pushing anti-consumer products forcibly onto their customers in a way that affects almost all of the end-users. Obviously I'm only one person, but Sony locking out the PS3 OS didn't impact me; Microsoft bolting down the PC version of Halo 2 to Windows Vista and making it a nightmare to get running on any other OS (including 7, somehow) did. Microsoft pushing Games for Windows Live did.[/li][/ul]

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

Both.

Because I want all the toys.

Also Dead Rising.

 

[Maximum Bert]

None atm but I will probably be getting a WiiU first followed by a PS4 and maybe an Xbox One later

So reasons for a WiiU first
1) Cheaper
2) Bayonetta 2
3) X (or whatever they call it)
4) has a few other games I am mildly interested in while the PS4 and Xbox One have almost zero.
5) N/A

Neither.

Reason: Money.

 

[DanielBrown]

Never seen this thread before!

Console: PS4
Reason 1: Way better exclusives(at least the PS3 had them)
Reason 2: Regret buying my 360
Reason 3: Xbone seems awful
Reason 4: Loved my PS/PS2/PS3
Reason 5: More reasons

Won't buy it until a year or two after launch unless I feel I have the money to spare though. Just bought an expensive as fuck PC, which should be able to play new games for a few years before I need to replace stuff.

 

[laggyteabag]

Ugh, well Im probably not going to buy either as I'm satisfied with the state of my PC and I intend to upgrade it, however, If I were to get a next-gen console I would probably get an XBox One despite the fact it would feel like selling my soul to the devil, mostly because Microsoft has made some pretty weird and concerning decisions since the console was announced, and despite the fact that those decisions have been fixed I still dont trust Microsoft all that much.

Console: Xbox One
Reason 1: I like the look of the exclusives on the Xbox One more than the ones on the PS4, even though I would probably end up getting most of the games like Titanfall on my PC anyway.
Reason 2: The Playstation controllers have a history of being very small, and the Xbox One controller looks similar to the Xbox 360 controller which I am already familiar with.

Other than that, theres nothing really anything big that would be worth mentioning.

 

[The White Hunter]

When? 4 years ago? If not you got ripped off.

OT:

Desktop PC because of reasons everybody has already said, and a Wii U because it does everything I want a console to do.

 

[Tilted_Logic]

PS4:
Reason 1: Destiny
Reason 2: I love my ps3, ps4 should be even better
Reason 3: Destiny
Reason 4: Indie games, awesome graphics
Reason 5: Destiny

I really have very few reasons. I will probably not be purchasing at or near launch, and probably not for a long time if Destiny does in fact come to PC.

Oh, you're back...

Neither. Xbox Live Gold? PS+? Fuck having to pay an additional fee to play games online.

While I agree in totality that having to pay for online access is utterly ridiculous, PS+ is very much worth the money. If it's the principle of it all though, good on you. I could never bring myself to purchase an xbox 360 for that very reason, but being pampered by the plus service as a simple addition to what's offered on the playstation 3 already rather than an additional-fee-for-unlock means I'll have the service anyway when the ps4 comes out. Completely understand where you're coming from though; I wish everyone wasn't so money hungry, but I also realize the futility of that statement :/

 

[Rastrelly]

Console: +4 GB RAM and till the next year a new videoadapter
Reason 1: I'm content with my PC
Reason 2: I both work and play on my PC. Also internet and hobbies.

 

[Snowblindblitz]

My Wii-u
1: It's not a multimedia device
2: It doesn't charge me to use my internet
3: Once I buy a new graphics card for my PC, it will be > than PS4 or x-bone
4: Monster Hunter 3/Super smash bros/Zelda/Mario/Pikmin
5: Wii-U is funner to play with groups of 5 a la parties then the PS4 or x-bone

 

[BoredRolePlayer]

WiiU
-I like playing on my gamepad while watching shows on my TV
-I like having my old Wii games I didn't get a chance to play yet on my WiiU
-There are WiiU games I want that are out, rather then Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV
-Earthbound
-I like how Nintendo is trying to try something different with a gamepad. I mean people can whine and moan about Nintendo being gimmicky but Microsoft and the TV in and Kinect is worse if you ask me.

Also most major PS4 and Xbox1 games I rather play on PC.
