Who's sticking as a PC gamer this generation?

Well for the next few years I'm going to be putting gaming on hold (being in the military plus trying to go to school while I'm in there means I'm gonna be busy) but when I get out I'm building myself a new PC and its gonna kick major ass. I might get a used PS4 just for a few exclusives and local multiplayer with my buddies but that's it, and only if I can get it for ~$150.
Exactly, and I sure hope it stays that way.Korten12 said:
However, I will still wait a couple years to see if Sony gives up to publishers pressure or publishers give up on the whole idea and don't drop support on the console. If that is the case, I will buy into the next generation. I am cynic like that...
Been a PC gamer since playing blockout on my father's XT.
I've checked the spec and to be honest my year old Game rig bashes the PS4 with ease. AMD 8150 running on 4ghz/core and a GTX680 (meaning to up that to something better). Sure it wins on ram perhaps, but don't forget they're still running on x86 architecture.
One of both console big points... 60FPS!!! Eeeh... right... Moving along.
Unlike the PS3 that had the Cell Processor this generation will be obsolete by the time they hit the stores proper (With a decent amount of games).
I will add that PS4 does the smart move about Internet Uplink Requirements but it's sony so we'll see it when it is actually finished...
All this aside I would have thought them both if they'd had Backwards Compatibility. That would have been a great selling point because my PC doesn.... Pffff XD sorry. Excuse me will I open my GoG account.
As for the Dev kit's running on console specs... That's a load of bull they have to up the power to handle the resolutions. I mean they've finally managed to handle 1920x1080 60fps if only barely. (Oh the 4K HD is only for photographs.)

Multi platform (master race) gamer here and I've recently had a new rig built but I'm not exactly thrilled with anticipation of the build at all seeing as how I'm not very knowledgeable in hardware shopping and I don't like outside help of any kind ( I want to learn my own way which in this case almost means never).
With that said this gen I'll mostly be going with the rig that's been built and go for a WII U and PS4 early next year and ride them out for what they have to offer because I'd rather not bar myself off from everything else gaming has to offer to just one platform and I mostly prefer controller gaming on a console anyway.
The price point of the PS4 and Wii U aren't exactly terrible in my eyes and I can start saving bit by bit for the two of them and they will eventually pay themselves off for myself when I get around to expanding the library while choosing a small few games for PC.

Even though I've owned a console (or two) from every generation going back to the Atari 2600, 98% of my gaming time is on the PC. I doubt I'll skip this generation entirely, but I certainly won't be picking one up at launch. Might wait for the first redesign or price drop.
I have never owned a console besides the PS2 (that I shared with my brother back then), and I have no need to buy one of the new ones... I'm perfectly happy playing on my PC as I always have done! PC has always offered the best games for me, the kind I like. I enjoy having the flexibility that PC provides, not to mention great mod support and access to loads of indie titles that are not available to the console crowd.
I've only recently switched to PC, but I'm pretty sure I won't be buying next gen consoles. I'll keep my old ones long enough to finish the games on them, and then off they go to Gamestop, or wherever else I can sell them.
Honestly, I've just stopped caring about the AAA industry. It's dead to me.
