Poll: Which Next Gen Console will you buy? - New Version

[Darujhistan]

All the PS4 boys are still floundering around trying to work out what is left to pick on....

Cost...MS intrusive nature...not really much need to flounder when looking for issues with XBOX1

 

[NokkonWud]

I've always been a true, lover of games, to me it's utterly bizarre how someone can specifically say they're only getting one or the other. I've never put myself in that situation since the SNES/Mega Drive days (and that's only because my friend who lived down the street had a Mega Drive.)

 

[Darujhistan]

Haven't bought a console for years, so no loyalty issue for me, waited until the reveals and the PS4 was the easy winner, all MS have done is close the gap a bit and done what they should have the 1st place.

Don't see why I should reward MS for being forced to go back on their consumer-unfriendly big-brother antics, so I will buy PS4 only

MS are far too creepy for my taste.

Money doesnt grow on trees unfortunatly. I consider my self a "hardcore gamer" and only own one or the other.

ps4 again as lets be honest ms cant be trusted, they kept saying that the xbone was built around the whole 24 hour check in and the drm and now its not. funny how easy it was turned off. just imagine how easy it would be to turn back on in 18 months or so once they have a few million units sold.

You are aware of some of the things Sony have done in the past aren't you?

If Microsoft were to do that they'd face lawsuits. If you're going to be that paranoid then there is nothing stopping Sony adding that system in (after all they removed Linux functionality from the PS3 without warning!)

 

[NokkonWud]

Paper actually does grow on trees, but that's another matter.
I've been preparing for this next-generation for some time. I already have a total of £621 in credits towards the new machines and have a further 6 months, and that's just to buy both on launch day this year.
A generation is at least 5 years long, the last one considerably longer, so to say you can't get both in a generation because it's "too expensive" is ridiculous.

 

[sajtion]

its too hard to trust microsoft now and kinetic is still mandatory. ps4 is still better option

 

[ic1male]

Yeah, when the Xbone drops to £199 then I'll get it.

I doubt there are many folks who can drop over a grand on launch day consoles and games.

I'll get one near launch, and ignore the other until a few years down the line when I can pick one up for cheap to play through all the exclusives i've missed.

Exactly what I've done this gen. Had a 360 since launch, picked up a 2nd hand PS3 last week for peanuts. Currently working my way through Killzone, Uncharted, God of War, LBP and the other AAA game series I've missed.

Sony are the most trustworthy company around. It doesn't matter that they lost loads of personal information and credit card details a mere 2 years ago!

 

[FTM]

still going to get a ps4 first..but there is now no barrier for me to get an xbox one at some point

shame it took them so long to realise what a terrible idea it all was in the first place

but they will have to sell a version without kinect as it is off no use to me in my little spare bedroom.

of course the system was built around it, and all those hours those engineers working on the functionality had to put in has just been thrown out, that and the cost of all of it must have been quite costly considering what they were aiming for. All that hard work thrown to the side, yes it may be brought back and I actually hope before launch.. while keeping the offline functionality as it is. That'd be ideal for both types of user that exists out there.

As I mentioned above, this isn't a "Day One" poll, it's which will you buy Next Gen, and many are saying over the potential 5-8 year next-gen window they're only buying one machine. You said it yourself, you bought one for peanuts.

 

[RIZZEE]

Still going for the PS4 despite Microsofts 180 on their DRM stuff.

Yes! I'm disappointed that we're now not seeing any changes because, for me, they were almost all positive and they outweighed the few that weren't.
I'm hoping that any game purchased digitally will work the way they were originally intended. If so, that's how I'll be doing it.

It's bloody Kinect, not Kinetic. The fact you write it off like that and get it wrong shows to me you didn't have a clue about any of it in the first place.

 

[Mr Men]

People voting PS4 yet saying they will get a Xbox later kind of ruins the poll

i know it sounds daft but better the devil you know.

 

[Brutus]

Still PS4 with the stronger exclusive titles to go in hand with my PC.
