which console will you be buying next gen

I have come to realize that console gaming blows, and pc gaming is where its at, even though i have all the consoles this gen except for the wii (which i will be getting soon) My plan for next console gen (PC isn't part of the weaksauce console gen) is to pick up the wii u and stick with my pc. I will miss halo, gears of war and uncharted but oh well, no big deal.

By the end of the generation I'll have all of them. Which is purchased first... well, that's the current dilemma ;)

The PS4 for sure and probably the Wii U since it will have No more Heroes 3

I cannot and will not answer this because I don't know what each thing is offering. I can probably say though that all will have a subscription fee. So that's not a prime issue (wasn't anyways). What I want to know before I hop on a bandwagon is what each piece of hardware is going to make it better than this gen...

Too much pressure! I STILL HAVE 4-6 YEARS!

Wii U, 3DS, and Xbox 3 most likely.

imma wait 2 years before I get Nextbox or PS4. No RRoD or YLoD for me.

I plan on mostly playing games on the PC and getting the next Nintendo console. :P

I'll probably check out the other consoles if I have money to spare though.

Whichever one(s) that have the games I'm interested in.

PS4 and Wii U.

None :P

The one(s) that comes with motion controls.

It all depends on what is shown and what games are coming out for a console.

Xbox ended one of it's biggest heavy hitters now that Gears is apperantly over with (if EPIC's word holds true to this being the last Gears game), leaving Xbox with Halo (which I don't care for). Other than a few random exclusive IP's and Fable (lol), I don't see what MS will do for next gen.

Sony on the otherhand will always have God of War, Killzone, Naughty Dog, Metal Gear (recently more multiplat, but you can place your bets it'll always be on the Playstation brand).Sony has a huge first party dev team, and seem to be releasing plenty of new IP's every gen.

Nintendo will always be Nintendo.

I'm a little Sony bias, but if Xbox has an amazing start like they did this gen, I'll get the new Xbox first => new Playstation.=> Upgrade PC => Nintendo

PS4 and Wii U.

how do you know the economy wont collapse

The PS4. It'll probably generate so much heat that I can disable my central air during the winter and notice no difference in temperature.

WiiU, PS4, and upgrade my PC.

Console gaming certainly doesn't blow, I couldn't survive without my first party Nintendo and Sony games. The PC's objectively the best but it doesn't mean everything else is crap.

Wii-U on launch day. Already made my mind up for that. I'll probably pick up the PS4 down the line too. Not getting the 720 unless MS pulls their heads out of their asses and have Rare make good games again, such as new Banjo-Kazooies and Conkers.

A Wii U and Xbox 3. Can't miss out on Halo, Mario and Zelda. Probably PS4 too.

The one that doesn't have hardware failures within the first year.

Maybe a Wii U when it's cheap. I'm going to stick with my PC most likely.

I'd say PS4.

but that being said, it is way way too early to tell.

I lean for Sony because i love it's first party and their owned IP's.

PS2 served me very well, and PS3 has served me very well as well despite it's very slow and painful start.

All depends on the exclusives. Building a new P.C. is always first, followed by most likely a PS4, but maybe a 720.

I won't be getting wii u but i'll get the Xbox 720 and the ps4 :P

Im going to build a gaming PC in 2012 and if I would get a console it will be WiiU. I think this will be the best combination in the next generation.

The only one I know of for now is the Wii U. I'll probably get it eventually (when the price is right). I'll wait until Nintendo's usual suite of games is released, and hopefully along with some interesting third-party titles. I've only had a Wii for a little over a year, so no rush to upgrade just yet. I still feel I haven't even really scratched the surface of the Wii yet.

Maybe a Vita some day, but I also only bought a PSP 3000 last year and feel I haven't exactly scratched the surface of it either. It still feels very new to me. It's still a very impressive system. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it. Still a beastly, awesome handheld. I also like being able to connect it to my TV and have it double as a console. Pretty neat. Vita will also have to wait, but I might get one eventually. The sealed in battery and no TV out right now (taking it away from us) has me uninterested at the moment. I want my TV out. Please don't remove features Sony.

I've been wanting a 360 for a while, but I currently just play my brother's (just for stuff not on other systems, like Dead or Alive 4). Want one, but I think I'm waiting for the next-gen Xbox and its hopeful 360 BC. If the next Xbox isn't BC, then I might go ahead and get a 360. I'm almost more willing to get the next Xbox first since I don't have a 360 yet, but only if it has BC. Otherwise Wii U probably would be first.

Got the 3DS already. I like it and games are coming up, so I'm happy with it. Got the Power Pak+, so battery is no problem for me. The other eliminated problem is the slipper back side. Now all I need to do is get rid of all the glossiness and buy some sort of skin for it that's nearly invisible, yet hides the gloss. After that, I feel the 3DS will be aesthetically fine, too.

In summary:

Wii U --> When the price is right, Nintendo's usual suite of games is released, a few interesting third party titles

Vita --> When they add TV out, unseal the battery, improve battery life or have realistic battery extensions like Power Pak+ for 3DS

Next Xbox --> Only if it's 360 compatible and has compelling software/games; if it could double as a PC, then definitely

PS4 --> At this point, probably not. PS3 has been mostly boring for me, and I've been very disappoined performance-wise with some of its games (Enslaved, Dragon Age Origins, etc.). Too much frame dripping and frame skipping. I feel like Sony's allowing the games on their system to stay competitive and not forcing the developers to make sure they're doing the best job they can to make the games run smoothly on their system. Overall I'm disappointed.

Probably Playstation 4.

I'll stick to PC for a while, and wait for all consoles to be released. If one stands out, regarding awesome games that can't be had on my PC, I'll get that one. Which probably means I'll be getting the WiiU...

Not saying that WiiU is gonna be better as a console than the two others, but MS and Sony exclusives bring nothing special to a PC gamer, whereas Nintendo has truly unique first party games. So their systems are great 2nd systems...

Xbox720 by far, gets all the RPGs and games i care for, plus i wont have to move to PC gaming for another 15 years

Like xbox 360 gets Witcher 2, Skyrim, Mass Effect 1-2-3, Fable 2-3-4-Journey, Alan Wake, Dark Souls Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia etc

I may later consider a WiiU if it has a new Zelda, around 2015 i suppose and a PS4 only if they come up with a new RPG i want

No plans to buy any yet. I'll stick with the PC until I feel it's worth buying one (if I ever do).

Wii U is not next gen. Ninja_Odin

Well then neither will the 720 or PS4.
