Next gen consoles
Okay, now that they've been released, I feel it's fine to open a thread about it. Also keep PC gaming out of this topic. We don't need to hear that "OMG PCs R TEH BESHT EVAR!!!12 CONSOOLES R LOLOLOL" shit.
Which ones look promising to you? Personally I'm inclined to like the Wii U most, and PS4 not far behind. The X-Box just seems to have lost its way. It's more of a multimedia console than a true gaming console.

Sounds like people are getting the Xbox out by me so I may end up getting that in the end.

There was a time I might have said the Xbox for sure, but now I'm fairly neutral all around. Halo would have been enough to sway me before, but Halo 4 wasn't as overwhelming as it could have been and I'm not all too hyped for Halo 5. In any case I'm not planning on upgrading any time in the near future.

they all suck :P
No really, the wii u could be done much better with a tablet, the xbox one isnt really gaming, and you could do that with a pc, and the ps4 costs wayyy more in the UK.

But teh mouse and keyboard is so much better than controllerzzz! >__>
The more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards going PS4 eventually. Halo and Mass Effect were originally the main thing holding me to the Xbox, but now Mass Effect is multi-console (for whenever the next Mass Effect game comes out). Literally anything I'd feel like playing, sports games like MLB and Madden and whatever else usually are multi-console as well.

Meh, I have a Wii U, but I won't use it much aside from Pikmin 3 probably. I'm gonna use my Wii a lot more (because GCN controller support FTW). I like the PS4 but I probably won't get one. XBox One can die in a hole.

I'm sticking with the 360, got all the games I could possibly want on it So why fork out shitloads of money on another console? I'm happy with what I got. but if I had to choose, I'd lean more to the PS4.

Can't afford any of them at the moment, but I'm thinking about getting a Wii U, personally.

And yes, I've got one myself- The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is what I'm playing at the moment. :P

I will probably get a WiiU for Smash, but that is several months away from being released. There are a few games on the console right now that look interesting, particularly Zelda: Wind Waker HD, and Sonic: Lost World. There is also the promise of Dreamcast emulation, and I'm chomping at the bit for PowerStone and Tech Romancer with a better controller.
At the end of the day, consoles are for social gaming. I don't think PCs do everything better but they're a good platform for online FPS, and so what I miss out on from not having a PS4/XBONE is something I can mostly get on a PC anyway. The downside is that I imagine, much like last time, Nintendo's console will miss out on a lot of 3rd party fighters. New Guilty Gear for instance. Fingers crossed that Blazblue CP will be ported.

The WiiU pro controller looks better than the gamecube controller anyway. The diamond configuration will be much better for waveshining with fox/falco.
