Playstation 4 being announced February 20th?

I'll probably get both eventually but the PS4 interests me more right now...probably because I know slightly more about it...which isn't a lot!

Wii U is not a next gen console though?

So your decision is to get the Sony machine no matter what, that is cool for you but does not mean your decision applies across the gaming market ;)

Actually the Wii U is a next generation console, the next generation doesn't begin when Sony/Microsoft releases a console you know. :p

Wii u is in line with 360 and PS3 though? unless you are assuming newer = next gen?

I have a Wii U it's not a next gen console.

Id wait until the better specced console was out and then make my choice. If we consider your original premise, then surely everyone should be buying the Wii U right now because it launched first? Or is it people are still waiting for the PS4 and next Xbox to turn up?

That's definitely the weakest 'premise' I've seen in this thread so far.

Well he said the main thing is to get it launched first, which unless you want to tell me differently Nintendo have done?

The wii / wii-u will never be viewed in the same light as the Xbox/PS and you know it. They could have released it whenever they wanted and it wouldn't have made a jot of different to opposing sales.

No, the Wii was Nintendo's seventh generation console, the Wii U is an eighth generation console and as of yet neither Microsoft nor Somy have released their eighth gen machines.

LOL what? new xbox will be MS's 3rd gen, so they are 5 gens behind Nintendo then?

Inferior specs. Lol

We all know they're going to produce very similar results in the games.

From what's floating about and assuming it's all correct the next PS will have superior capabilities for graphics (slightly) in terms of speed/capability so it should have the slight edge as it appears MS are going for the wider media hub box which has to deal with everything and Sony appear to be going harder on the straight up games machine.

Anyway it's all speculation until MS and Sony get the announcements out and further speculation until there are actually direct game comparisons. Any minor spec variations will probably also be negated by how well the devs code their games for each system.

What? you said Sony appeals to you more? so your decision seems made to me?

Not at all ;). Unfortunately Ive got a bit of common sense and some self control when it comes to new consoles, its quite interesting to debate the technical values of one or the other, but to already decide before both are launched is silly to consider or in your case silly to assume that others have done...

Indeed, no idea why anyone would be considering the Wii u as a new generation.

just like it would be silly to assume there will be no wired headset port on the pad? :)

TBH Sony values are just closer to my needs in that Im not a massive online gamer, Id rather have a game with a decent involving identity - MSs lack of exclusives that interest me and their seemingly continued movement to not really employ their first party teams outside of Kinect implementation will never capture me as a customer. If the PS4 is as capable as the next Xbox when it comes to multiplatform games, its an easy decision to make and thats ignoring spec differences. Sony at face value seemed to have learnt from the PS3 mistakes, I cant see how that isnt pretty much the biggest thing this gen for developers and us customers...

Yeah sounds like you are really undecided, right enough :D

Again what?

MS are only on their 3rd gen of console with the new xbox?

I might be wrong here but I always thought generations were a "universal" thing and didn't apply to one company, like the PS2 and Xbox would be in the same generation despite it being Sony's 2nd console.

And the Wii U is in the same generation as 360 and PS3 despite it being their 8th console no?
