Gamespotters more likely to buy the NextBox and PS4 rather than WiiU

Didn't even know there was a poll.

So System Warriors,

Are you part of the Xbox's 36%

Sony's 34%

or Nintendo's 13%?

I'll most likely be doing what I've done since 2 generations ago, Sony and Nintendo. I see no reason to buy an Xbox, the first had some games that I was frustrated to not play but I don't think there is a single 360 exclusive within it's limited selection that I'd want an Xbox for.

Enjoy your future lems.

What little we know about the WiiU isn't particularly exciting. There aren't any exciting titles yet and people are confused about the controller. The new Xbox and Playstation, however, are exciting unknowns upon which fans can project dreams of countless possibilities.Meinhard1

All We know from the Wii U is that it has a Touchscreen controller. If anything, knowing that alone is enough to stimulate the brain into thinking of creative ideas that the Wii U is capable of.

On the other hand, all I see on system wars is people wishing for PC graphics on consoles, and making up their dream specs. That's far from projecting "dreams of countless posibilities."

Well, we know the WiiU will allow you to play a game either on TV, the controller itself, or a combination of both via dual screen ala DS/3DS. The same options go for surfing the web with the option of either landscape or portrait mode. The videos out on it shows built-in drawing functions which will be fantastic for my kid.

If they honnestly think that we are going to get a huge graphics leap with the next gen then they are saddly misstaken. I doubt half the time it will even be noticable, with the exception of (hopfully) everthing running at 60fps and in 1080p.

WiiU will be a definite for us (along with the Vita). The other two? Maybe. Maybe not.

Enjoy your future lems.

It can't be very accurate because a lot of us didn't even know there was a poll. It doesn't reflect my intentions. Wii U for me, and maybe a PS4, but no NextBox for me most likely.

The NB percentage for sure. :D

I have no doubt that this survey would apply to most of the general public as well. I love what I seen with the WiiU so far though but i'm pretty sure most consumers this time around don't want another dust collector or anything that resembles it too closely -- which might be a common assumption if they don't redesign it or at least change the name.

Haters gonna hate, because you know it's true.

That's not really a surprise but I also was completely unaware of said poll.

Nintendo has always been known for its casual games and it reflects pretty well amongst the "hardcore" community.

That said I don't think there is really any reason to judge amongt the 3 yet considering we know next to nothing. I know people have developed expectations among the 3 but there is really no telling exactly what kind of hardware/controller/services are going to be offered.

Let's just wait till E3 shall we?

And in related news, you are now breating and the sun has a 100% chance of shining somewhere on earth tomorrow morning.

I know the odds of me getting a Wii U are low. That gimmicky controller turns me off bigtime.

I'm part of Sony and Nintendo's percentage. No way I'm buying the next xbox at release and with their current investment in kid crap.

Nextbox > PS4 for me and of course, gaming PC.

I don't understand this survey :/ We literally know NOTHING about the NextBox/PS4 and people are picking that over something we know about and have concrete info on. It's this mindset that doesn't even make sense, and you see it everywhere. Even before we knew anything about Wii U, you saw people already saying which console they would buy. It's hard for Nintendo to try to do anything when people already judge them based on random assumptions and speculation.

We should all just have open minds.

But if there's one thing we can't go on, it's history. Take a look at Sony: In terms of hardware, PS1 and PS2 were weak consoles. The PS3 is the anomaly. Nintendo? NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube were all powerful consoles. The Wii is the outlier. And as for Microsoft, as you mentioned, who knows what they will do. As evidenced by their CES show yesterday, Kinect seems to be a fairly big thing going into the future at Microsoft. Really, the only thing we can really say about any of the consoles is that there will be a heavy focus on media and non-gaming capabilites. That, and a few exclusives such as Mario, Zelda, Gran Turismo, and Halo will almost surely come out.

Everything else is your own perception of the company.

I'll get the Wii U day one and the PS4 about a year after launch

This is stupid, we don't even know how Nextbox or PS4 will be.SaltyMeatballs

Part of the Xbox and Playstation crowd - Nintendo needs to do a lot to win me back after that joke called the GameCubeR3FURBISHED

i dont think they care of winning one person back or even this forum....were like .0001% of the gaming population

I am always Nintendo and Playstation and next gen will be no exception

It is indeed interesting technology. Creepy even.

Now tell me why I would want that. Why *ANYONE* would want that. Why would I want a webcam so advanced that it reads lips? LOL. Not even just gaming, I can't even think of a legitimate application I'd want to use that for in my house period. About the only thing I can think of using that for is in security operations or something along those lines. But for entertainment? In my living room? Hell no.
