Going to be getting a Wii U when there's a slight price drop and maybe a ps4 down the road but I'm not really ecstatic of my recently built rig because I hate all the bugs and Driver issues but I'm more confident with Sony and Nintendo this time around compared to what Microsoft has shown thus far.
Poll: Do you plan on buying a next gen console?

No. If my current plans for employment go exceptionally well (which I doubt) I may buy one when I have a ridiculous amount of expendable income.
Otherwise I will just wait for the PS4 to go down in price years down the line and play MGS: Ground Zeroes. The only reason I bought my PS3 was for MGS4. It's been collecting dust for many years now and I bought it 3 years ago.

Yep. My flatmate has a Wii U, and that's pretty fun, although we're waiting on more games. Nothing bad has been said about the PS4 yet, so no reason to not get that, and eventually, I'll have to get the XBone if I want to play Halo 5. Depending on how the console works years down the track, I might just end up hiring one out if it's possible.
I am so game rich from all the steam sales! I literally have (the bare minimum of 2 to have an s at the end) hundreds of games I have yet to play. A hand full of the ones I play are the ones that last crazy long: Garry's mod, Counter-Strike, TF2, Binding of Isaac, WoW, GTA4 not to mention all the PC free to plays (woops TF2) Black Light Retribution, SMITE, LoL.
In short no, because my PC is bursting at the seams from all the long lasting, &/or dirt cheap games.
I may reconsider once the next-next gen comes out & the games for next gen are dirt cheap & have had shown their true colors. Like the way Modern Warfare 2 got a 10/10 & we all know how shitty that game truly turned out to be.

I certainly will, but I don't know which yet. Need to do more research, and I'm not liking what I'm hearing about the Xbox.
If the Kinect is indeed mandatory, and not something I can unplug and chuck back in the box, then I will likely skip the Xbox entirely.
I haven't read enough on the PS4 to know what the PS Eye's (or whatever it's called) role is, but again, if it's mandatory, then it's possible I'm skipping the next gen entirely.
Will have to look into becoming a PC gamer.

Probably not.
At this point, there are no new titles that are piquing my interest. And certainly none for Next Gen.
So, I'll probably just hang on to my 360 and buy some "older" games when the prices come down.
Or, maybe I'll buy them used...just to piss off Microsoft.
And I'll probably go back and build a PC for gaming. That seems like the more innovative environment these days...

As it currently stands, they don't interest me. But thats because right now, they are splurging on details about their social features, "Integration", and then the internet is filling the gaps with fear and Code Red empties. Once E3 comes around and all these developers can unveil their titles, my decision just may be decided on whether the titles that catch my eyes, are available on either the current generation machines, or my awesome PC rig (Come on Destiny, you WANT the PC market! XD)
As far as which machine? Well I've always liked the feel of the Xbox controller, but I'd probably just buy the system that fits my needs better.

I could completely believe this was true.Yuuki said:
I don't tend to plan purchases six-months in advance and based on little-to-no information. To be real though, I'll likely pick one up("one" being PS4 not "xbox one") because time marches on, and the current gen is getting tired.
If anything I'm thinking about getting a PS3 and play some of the games I've missed over the years. None of the new consoles interest me enough to think about buying but I'll wait and see what games they have at release before I plan anything.

I've never actually bought a console, and I haven't had one in the house since the PS1 I shared with my siblings in high school.
More to the point though, I haven't seen anything about this latest generation that's likely to make me want to change my mind. It's possible I might get on board with the following generation when my (now nine-month-old) son is old enough to show an interest I guess but for the moment I don't see the point in switching.

Yes I already have a wiiU. I might get a PS4 after a while... that's up in the air. I honestly can't see any reason to get one now. Maybe if they bring back Crash Bandicoot or some other games I want to play. Maybe if some cool indie games come out on it, or maybe if they make a more expensive BC model to encourage people to upgrade.
There isn't a single reason to buy an Xbone One.. Not One, and that's coming from someone who primarily used a 360 this last gen. Having decent games on it won't make up for the required-abuse you must take just to use this system.

I'm sure I'll buy an Xbox eventually, to play Destiny, future Halo games, possibly future Mass Effect games, definitively whatever Irrational makes next and hopefully some cool new IPs.
I don't care about backwards compatibility, refusal of used games is pretty fair imo (even though it's nice, for me, to be able to borrow games from friends) so the always on thing is pretty much my biggest gripe, and that doesn't seem close to settled yet. We'll see.

I currently have a PS3, Vita and have recently invested quite a lot of money in a new gaming PC. The only console I'd even consider would be the PS4 but until I see more from it I'm not sure I'll buy one. The new consoles are trying to hard to be mini PCs and I don't see the relevance when I HAVE a PC that can do everything better.
The only reason I would be tempted to buy a PS4 would be if the range of exclusives games was both extensive and interesting. If not (and I still want a console experience) I can use an HDMI cable and PS3 controller and just play Steam games on my TV.
I hope Sony learn from the current Xbone ridiculousness and focus on giving us what we want; a proper gaming experience and not a TV/Facebook/Music Player/Washing Machine/Teleporter/Photo Viewer.

I'm very hesitant at this stage, especially as I now have a gaming PC that can run any game well at the moment. I voted on the fence though, as I am a long time Sony fan so I'll probably pick one up eventually once there are enough exclusives that I want (so far only Infamous Second Son interests me).
Yes, though maybe not immediately. I can afford to get one without too much trouble, and, once I'm done with my degree or on break, I'll have a lot more time to devote to gaming, which is something I want to do right now, so chances are that it's going to be a worthwhile investment for me. Although, some news could still be released in the future that would strongly discourage me from buying a PS4 anytime soon - like if none of my digital downloads from the PS3 could be transferred to the new console.
