well, since we have heared rumours of microsoft working on a new console (which confuses me why) and we know that the wii u will definatley be released soon, im guessing that the next console gen will go the same as last time, and since the ps3 has pretty up to date hardware then i doubt they will make another console for at least another 4 years.

that being said i wouldn't want another playstation console at the moment mainly because of how this one works well and will keep working well for quite some time. the xbox started lagging behing technologically wise so i thin that it does need a new console and nintendo need to shove a firecracker up their arses to get something original out which is fun but not teidious or repeated on at least 20 different games.

right now i sound like i hate all consoles apart from the ps3 right? wrong! i think all have there merits and shouldn't go unrewarded for their attempts, like the xbox's vast and easily emmersive onine, or the wii's "we had that idea first" notion controll (please don't bother bringing up the eye toy) and obviously the ps3's ability to hold a discustingly large game on a 10th of the disc (even though we havent really seen it tested yet).

at the end of the day i think most fans will stay with their respective franchises and so will i, and don't expect another console for a good amount of time because it still works beautifully.

*prdictions*

the wii u will come out first and make many sales due to their well known game franchises.

the xbox 720 will come out second with it just being the bare bones of what it will become at a relatively low price but add-ons costing a good chunk.

ps4 will come out last with everything it will need and won't adapt much but with a bigger price tag than the other two.

my god this is getting long, and i would be suprised if anybody actually read all of that...

Won't buy it until they stop making games. That's just how I roll~! Might just wait until someone gets me one for a gift, then buy the other when I feel like it.

Hell no! I don't have the kinda money to buy a new console. I don't think anyone does. I think it's too soon for a new generation because no one has the kind of money to buy all this new stuff.

It's a definite no for me. Ever since the Xbox 360, I have always had a 2-year grace period before buying any new consoles. The obvious reasons are to prevent getting buggy systems, make necessary changes/improvements to the hardware and software, and having a much larger library of games to chose from. It will also be more inexpensive to buy the console, games, controllers, and other accessories.

The only time that I might break the grace period is if a console exclusive game that I am looking forward to is being released (either on launch day or in between the 2-years). For this reason, I fear that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be a PS4 exclusive and might be released close to the launch of the console.

But that rarely happens, so I'm not worried.

I have a backlog of well over 100 games. I think I should wait till I cut it in half before getting even bigger backlog

Perhaps some better RAM and a more recent video card...


Wait...the new consoles?

Oh....Umm...Not really...

I spent money on a newer Xbox 360 and hardly use it :(

Feels like a waste really

I normally wait a few years for it to become cheap enough for me to buy it.
However, when the next-gen is out I'll be going/at college and might just buy a laptop to use for work and my gaming needs.
I'm planning on getting a laptop this year anyways and a adapter for my xbox360 controller. ;)

PC gamer here, must say the last console I had was the Xbox and PS2. So yeah, I'm way behind the times of consoles. I just rather spend that money on bigger, better, faster PC hardware than on a trio of consoles.

Plus, humble indie bundles!

Considering I am more likely to buy the next Xbox console over Sony I'd say no. Not getting a launch model from Microsoft! :p

I'll wait until some games I actually want come out, for WiiU I'll wait for Zelda, for PS4 I'll wait for FF VII remake, for X-Box 720... I won't get at all :/
so WiiU I'll probably have to wait a year or 2, for PS4 I guess I'm never getting :p

Almost certainly. I'll definitely get a Wii U on launch day. With the other two, I may wait. I waited several months for the X360, and over a year for the PS3.
