Yes. I already bought a WiiU.

No. I will never, ever buy an Xbone. If one lands in my lap (say from an aircraft exploding overhead from all the fail it's carrying as cargo) I may keep one as a display piece.

No. I will not-with Sony's current plan for the thing-buy an Osiris. If I can't keep my PSN info, and trophies, than I won't be purchasing it.

GTA V, gran turismo 6 and watch dogs will be on PS3 so im happy with that. Those 3 will last me a year if not longer

Also at the moment my PS3 is only used as a freeview box so i dont play enough to warrant a new console

No. For the first time in my life I have very little to no interest in any of the consoles on offer. Besides that I don't have the funds available to buy any of the new consoles. If I ever do get the funds I may may consider getting a Wii U, but that's not looking too likely ATM.

No. This generation of consoles looks to be nothing better than overly limited PCs chock full of stupid and unwanted non gaming related gimmicks. Other devices and industry leaders already do the features outside of gaming better than these johnny come lately machines, and usually for less money, and with less limitations. And my three year old PC still has had no issue playing any new game I've tried at max settings.

I just can't justify the cost vs benefits of these new consoles. About the only thing I see that could compel people to buy them is game exclusives. But for me if a game maker decides to limit their customer base by denying players choices on what platforms they can play their game on, I would rather not reward them for such behavior.

A TV remote, a tablet, and the PS4. Yeah, I'll get one of those...
Good thing I like Sony.

The thing that ultimately keeps me from going PC is that I like sitting infront of my TV just too much.
Might be worth looking into Steam Big Picture Mode then. I haven't tried it myself but it seems like that could solve that issue. I used to have my PC hooked up to a TV and played from the couch when I lived in a tiny apartment a few years ago and it worked just fine with controller enabled games. Only seems like they're trying to make that easier than ever.

I usually wait a year or two (sometimes more.) However, I'm voting with my dollar this time. It isn't just important for me to NOT buy an XBox One. It's important for me to buy an alternative this time so that I 2-for-1 Microsoft for being retarded. As long as there are no major missteps and it comes out of the gate reasonable enough, I'll Day 1 PS4.

At the moment, I'm just leaning towards being a mostly PC gamer.
My friends have all switched mainly to PC so I'd be able to join them, and since the only interesting feature of the new consoles I've seen is improved graphics, so I might as well just invest money into making a game look really, really good on PC.

But I know I'm very easily swayed by exclusives. If that rumour of Mirror's Edge 2 being an Xbox One exclusive comes to anything, my choice may have already been made.
I love Mirror's Edge so god damn much.

Voted no but maybe I'll get a PS4 eventually when it is cheaper.
I do really like the exclusives Sony has, the new Xbox is a definitive no though, no matter how good the exclusives are, I won't support their disgusting anti consumer practices.

I play on PC for the most part, but I am interested in the WiiU, and will probably get that closer to christmas, or early next year. Wind Waker HD is a big part of that, but Nintendo also has the most exclusives I like. Also planning on getting a 3DS sometime when I have a bit of excess moneys to burn.

I'll probably get a PS4 in a year or two once there's some stuff to play for it and there's time to gauge its performance (and Sony's business practices), but for now I'm still trying to save for my new gaming PC build.

I won't be getting a next gen console because I'm poor because there just isn't anything worthwhile in terms of exclusives to be excited about, and I don't even need to mention Xbox bone because everything has already been articulated as to why I won't be getting it.

Yes, I've been thinking about getting a WiiU for quite some time now. After that, my next console will probably be a PS4. I've always been partial to Sony and if I can get more Killzone and Uncharted then I'll be quite content. As for the Xbone, I'll probably get one eventually as well, as I have no doubt that it'll be a competent gaming console, but I wan't to see how it holds up as a whole.

As of right now no, there's no games out. After a price drop and a bigger library I will unless they really do screw over the customer.

Yes.

I base this on my history of console purchases.
I wasn't interested in the Wii, PS3, or Xbox 360 when they came out and yet I own a Wii and a PS3 now.

I have no interest in the Wii U based on my experiences with the Wii.
I have no interest in the Xbox One because of how unreliable the Xbox 360 turned out to be.
I have mild interest in the PS4 because I love the inFamous frachise but one game won't justify the console.

I'm sure in the coming years I'll buy a PS4 or a Wii U.
If the Xbox One is reliable I may even own all 3 by the end of the console generation.

Nope. I have been a PC gamer for far too long. I begrudgingly bought an 360, well after they were released, and I hardly even turn it on. Unless the PS4 is earth-shattering, I won't buy that (despite still being a PS fangirl and having NOT gotten the PS3). The new XBox is laughable, at best, and I feel that if I were to ever desire to try it out, my GF will likely buy one anyway, so I can just use hers.

Otherwise, I'm sticking with PC gaming.
