So everything except for what exactly the Sega Spectrum thingie is (it's supposed to be revealed tomorrow) has been revealed. The Xbox One revealed and killed, PS4 revealed and dominated, and the Wii U also has exclusive titles coming out as well.



So what are you getting? PS4, Xbox One, or Wii U?

PS4 most likely, though I have thought of getting a Wii U and a 3DS.

I honestly don't know yet. The Xbox One is looking worse and worse, though I really do think we need to see how publishers handle things on that end. Sony is giving publishers the same ability that Microsoft is, they just haven't put an infrastructure around it. That doesn't really say good things for either company.

What it looks like is winning out for me is the pricing. Sony's console will be amazingly more affordable for me, compared to the 360.

Yes.

Though perhaps in a few years I'll see which one is cheap and worthwhile. I did finally get a Wii about 2 years ago after all.

None of the above.

I may consider a PS4 in the future, but well after launch day (likely when we start receiving rumors about the PS5 :wink: ). Until then, I'm quite content to stick with computer gaming and maybe - MAYBE - finally finishing some of the games I have for my Wii.

In all seriousness, I'm not getting any. I'm far happier on my PC, which is already more powerful than any of them.

If I was to choose between them, the PS4 is looking like the prime choice, especially considering that they dropped the cell architecture. Oh, and being cheaper and less restrictive.

Wii U has the new Super smash Bros. But the PS4 has all those cool games. I guess I will get the PS4.

I doubt I'll run out and buy any next gen system on launch day, but out of the three PS4 for sure. I may get a Wii U in a couple years, depending on the library at the time.

Putting aside PC (since, the question *is* about those 3 systems). And its not like the PC's existence is new. Its always been an alternative to the consoles.

I'm probably going with Wii U.

If its like the last generation, most of the Xbox games I feel like getting will be able to be played on the PC and I already have a 360 controller. And there weren't many PS3 games that really caught my eye. So the Wii will probably that system again that has games that I want and aren't already on a superior system.

All of this DRM stuff has ruled out the Xbox for me and I still don't trust the PS4. So the Wii U wins in that regard.

Plus, I'm a pretty big fan of platformers. And by far, the Wii U will have more of those. Though I am curious about how Knack will turn out and if Sony wants to make more platformers.

And oh yeah, Sonic: Lost World. Which has sold the Wii U more for me than Mario 3D World or Nintendoland ever has. Not just because I'm a Sonic fan, but because for once it looks like Sega is putting extra effort into their game while Nintendo keeps trying to play things safe (Nintendoland = bunch of mini-games with Mario's face on it, Mario 3D World = Mario 3D Land with multiplayer and a catsuit...this is seriously intended to be the successor to Mario Galaxy??).

Not that my opinion holds too much weight, its far too early before I even think of getting a new system considering pricing, early launch system glitches and limited game libraries.

Already have a Wii U, 3DS, and Vita. Will get both the Xbox One and PS4. How quickly depends on Microsoft, Sony, and how many games we get in for review. We had quite a few games waiting on the Wii U's arrival last year which encouraged us to purchase one since Nintendo flaked on sending us one. :)
