I know it's a little early to ask, but have any of you already decided what company to choose from next gen? Based on trial and error, I think Microsoft is gonna deliver a new real kick a** system with what I'm guessing will be free of LIVE fees. Not to mention I love my 360. I don't see the new Wii pulling me in unless they create something a little more innovative than the Wii was this gen. Sony is out of the question for me:D Too many failed promises *flame shield*

What about you?

I will decide when I see them, but I will probably continue playing games on my PC as well.

If console gaming keeps going the way it is, then most likely Intel, nVidia, ASUS and Viewsonic.

i voted for microsoft but there are a lot of good games on the ps3 that interests me. it all depends on what games are on the console and what the console has. like blu ray player, dvd player, things like that. back in the day i got a ps2 because it had a DVD player in it. they were expensive when they first came out.

The console with the best graphics and hardware and lowest failure rate (except Nintendo which won't be a contender for good graphics).

I can't choose now, its far too early. I will choose whichever has the strongest launch lineup, and overall which looks the best. Probably in this order: New Nintendo portable, Microsoft console, and then the Nintendo console. Sony will come in later on.

Well I can't make that decision until I see the consoles and what they have to offer. Though I have really liked Microsoft this gen.

I'll see the console and see which one i like most, obviously. But if I had to pick one and company and stick with them, it would be Sony.

Agreed. Also TC, I'm 95% positive that Microsoft will never make Xbox Live free.

Considering how happy I was with this gen so far I will say ATI, AMD, Antec and ASUS. I am not overly thrilled with any of the console companies.

It depends who impresses me the most with their offering. I'll be reluctant to o back to nintendo next gen after they abandoned core gamers with the wii. They have a lot of work to do.

Sony FTW! It's still a little early to tell, best hardware and low failure rate will still go to Sony and Nintendo I bet. But the console that the devs choose as they're lead platform will probably be the one most people will choose.

Well all i know is You'd be a little crazy to say a microsoft console right now, because with all the sku's and problems, it's probably THE console to wait with.
Nintendo, depends solely on whether they join the dark side or not.
Sony mayyybe... i don't feel very attached to their franchises.

In the end, i think i'll end up with the nintendo and sony console again, or just the nintendo console.
I won't support microsoft yet, i really don't like their direction.

Nintendo because I like their games. Then either Sony console or Microsofts it depends on how reliable the consoles are and what games they release for it.

I haven't decided , it comes down to what kinds of games are going to be coming out for them. This gen , the ps3 was a no-brainer first because of the content , but next gen some of these franchises that have a powerful hold on me could be gone or I could lose interest in them. Only time will tell.

I'll probably stick with sony. I'm a pc gamer so a console for me is like an extra cup holder in my car. Though I don't really let anything in my car except for water so I rarely even use my "cup holders."

I would like to say Microsoft but the 360 has been so faulty, I cant trust anything MS saids during launch just to push consoles out.

Not really Microsoft will probably release their next console in 2010. They might even release it in 2009 if they do what they said they would do at the begining of the gen they said they wanted to release a new console every 4 years. Next year is the 360's 5th year on the market.

well, it won't be nintendo. after gaming for 27 years, its laughable what they have become.

it'll be between sony and MS. whoever has the most reliable hardware probally. although after 3 360s i don't really like the idea of giving MS any more of my hard earned cash. i'd settle for both but having a mortgage, kid, and a wife is incredibly expensive and i'm finding it hard to justify spending that much money on my hobby anymore.

Well I just heard sony might be using a intel GPU....So probably not them...but hummmm I guess the one with best graphics/best games....I don't mind the graphics really as long as they arn't Wii graphics Ps3/360 graphics are fine as long as the games are good and have depth.

also no motion sensing gimmick

Nope. I have both a 360 and a PS3 right now but I have much more games on the 360 because they appeal to me more. 360 has more western games and I like those more.

Sony

They're going to have a bunch of 1st/2nd party stuff lined up, that's what they're growing on right now for next-gen. Along with the 3rd parties.

This topic just proves how many of you fanboys their are.........Most of you pick a console on name brand alone especially you nintendo fanboys what swear that nintendo is god

You should buy a console based on games it has, and capabilities...not on brand

People are choosing companies because of the game franchises they own. People who like GOW, R & C, Uncharted the most will choose Sony and people who like Halo, Gears and Fable the most will choose Microsoft. There's absolutely nothing fanboyish about that.

Yes their is, Some of the best games this gen have been New IP's so their will be great new IP's on the next gen consoles to, and Most of the IP's are being concluded this gen meaning that we will ahve all new ones next gen.

and honestly did any of you even think of a reason why you picked your console when you answer the question ...I doubt it and I doubt it was the games, its just because you are biased to that system and I know most of you will deny this to the death, but it does apply to most of you

Will wait to see if Microsoft can actually make a console that doesnt break, so will probably get the Sony console first. Will pretty much always be that way as Sony's first party publishers are WAY better than Microsofts.

What if the console with the best graphics doesn't have the best games? Or is that impossible?
