Well, I certainly didn't see that coming, but I'm waiting to see how the games pan out before I call it a success.
Just the announce of Bayonetta 2 is enough for me to put the Wii U above anything Sony or Microsoft can offer. You'd have to put out something like Devil May Cry 5, Shin Megami Tensei - Miscellaneous Subtitle or Project Zero 5 (another Nintendo owned series I believe, if they ever remember Europe exists) to distract me from that and even then it'd probably have to be two of the above.
Well, I rated the Wii at the bottom of the last console generation, easily, so I've not got high hopes for this new console.
I've probably enjoyed the PS3 most out of the current generation, so I'm currently placing the majority of my eggs in Sony's basket.
My eggs are likely to end up in Sony's basket as the first port of call too, with a Wii U picked up on the cheap at a later date. Since I enjoy a lot of Sony's IP's and have done since the PS1, they're yet to let me down yet to be honest.
Microsoft I'm still not touching with a barge pole, the hardware issues are not something I can be bothered to deal with.
Agreed, the only thing Sony ever did to piss me off was drop backwards compatibility, so now I can't play any of the awesome games in my PS2 library on my PS3.
To be honest, I don't blame you for avoiding the 360, I had to replace mine within a year of owning it, but it does have some decent exclusives; just no real console sellers, in my opinion.
Thats why I kept my PS2 and the awesome library of games associated with it. Fuck yeah the PS2 was a great piece of hardware. Mine's still hooked up to my TV, along with a gamecube, wii (yes I'm aware the gamecube is redundant but shh it's a limited edition and I got it for £10 with the controller it came with), a dreamcast (single manly tear), my PS3, my MegaDrive (Genesis) and even a Master System. [EDIT: Before people ask my PC has it's own monitor and such. It lives in a different place.).
Yeah I Halo is decent, Gears of War bored me when I played with a mate, and why did the last boss take forever to die? I googled it and everyone said just keep shooting, well I got bored after 20 minutes of emptying bullets into his ugly maw.
But yeah, I enjoy Halo but it gets boring fast for me, I'm not good at it multiplayer at all either, I'm sadly much better at military shooters than arcadey ones. But Halo isn't enough to sell me a 360, especially since I currently compare all FPS's to Resistance 3, which is a damn fucking fine game, and all multiplayer to Bad Company 2.
I've been tinkering with my friend to try resurrect his dead 360 and it's hopeless, none of the internet fixes work and we've basically come to the conclusion that the GPU is just not connected anymore for whatever reason in a way that presents no visual evidence. All the soldering is in place, and it's all fine, we touched up any that looked bad after we tried various repairs, cleaned and everything and it's just dead. Works absolutely fine until you plug in an output lead. Out of warranty btw. Just a hopeless piece of cheaply manufactured scrap.
So yeah, I stuck with Sony for various reasons, wasn't into FPS's or multiplayer when I got my PS3, still prefer good single player but like multiplayer with a few friends that moved away, keeps you in touch.
2nd Edit: Incidentally, I like playstation plus a lot, it's been well worth my continued subscription, especially since they started putting whole games for free. Though here in the EU SCEE continually screw us on releases :\ still no counter strike and such.
3rd Edit: Somewhere you mentioned the Wii's controls and I gotta agree I prefer the standard controller for most games I own. I think the only game I own for it that's improved by them is Resident Evil 4, because of the nature of the gameplay aiming with the wii remote isn't a tedious exercise of tweaking the deadzone for hours and I found it a great way to play one of my favourite games.
