Have you bought/Are you going to buy a current generation console this year or last year? Why or why not??
| I'm very curious to see if anyone on the forum has bought or is planning to buy a WiiU/Xbox One/Ps4 (and why you have/haven't gotten one). I don't call them "next gen" but "current gen" because they've all been released and people are playing them now. I honestly could have bought a WiiU or Xbox One around Christmas time (ps4 was sold out everywhere) if I sold most of my games + my 3ds and Psvita, but I just didnt feel like sacrificing games I already own for a recent console. Right now I am saving for a Ps4. I'm getting a Ps4 mostly because I believe this will be the current gen console that will receive the most RPG titles (this has been true between Playstation, Nintendo [consoles not handhelds] consoles since ps1 I think), and I play mostly Role Playing Games, even though there are 0 out for any of the three right now I believe. Right now I have a Ps2, Ps3, PsVita, 3DSXL, and an original X-Box. I have 2 laptop computers but they are too crappy to play anything above Game Boy Color or SNES level emulators. Don't feel like saving and building a gaming rig instead, never liked building stuff, especially not intricate computers.. Also don't want my computer to crap out on me because I've been playing hardcore games on it lol. Xbox One and WiiU intrigue me, but the ps4 potential and its tech specs are what swayed me to save for it. If I do end up buying another console, It'll probably be the WiiU unless the XBONE actually gets a number of good exclusives (not the case with 360, seemed like it had mostly multiplats I play on my ps3). I almost want to impulse buy a WiiU instead of a ps4 for Super Smash Brothers 4, but I'll pass though. I'll be getting an inferior version of it for 3ds, still better than nothing though.. |

| nope i am sticking with pc only games. :3 |
| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| I have gotten an PS4, only because I happen to come across it while shopping at best buy and decided to purchase it. Wanted to wait a bit (like around summer 2015) but the price was pretty decent and I had the cash to get it. Only got one game for it through. Planning on getting more but my PS3 backlog is also kinda big. Got no plans to buy anymore consoles as I dont have the financial ability lol. |

| PC masterrace checking in I might get a XBox One down the road, simply because the kinect / TV Cable guide thing seems interesting and "feels" 2014'ish |

| No. I haven't seen any games worth a console yet. My PC is keeping me busy enough right now. xLimewireX said: TV feels last decade-ish. I've been watching all my shows downloaded for years now.

| As the majority of people have said already; "Nope". I haven't bought a console since the Dreamcast bombed and we were reverted back to 64-bit graphics on the account of Sony wanting to cheap out on hardware. Why not? Because I already own a PC and even if I didn't have a PC, I could buy a PC with better specs for the money I could blow on a console, not to mention they usually make you spend a little extra cash on the console versions of the game. |

| I think I'm going to pick up a new NES if that's what you're referring to by "current generation", sure. |
 |
| I Bought The PS4, sold it back after 1 month and bought back a Dreamcast and 64 instead. Why: Games are not stable.Not enough games and a lots of them being delayed. Games are not that good really i liked the old ones more (Battlefield,Killzone,NeedForSpeed). Still i wanted to wait to play ElderScroll then i heard we would have to pay every month to play it and i was like euhhhhhhhhhhh. And still i wanted to wait to play PrimalCarnage but it looks like they gave up on this game. Nothing better than Ocarina Of time and some good old Sonic anw |
| Nope Sorry but PC MASTER RACE mouse x keyboard 4 li3f |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| Not yet. I will buy the PS4 in a couple of years. |

| I'm not buying consoles anymore until at least a few years after release for 3 reasons. 1. More games 2. Cheaper 3. Potential hardware and/or software issues Number 3 especially. Had to learn a lesson the hard way with a first model 360, PS3, and to a lesser extent, launch Wii. |
| Nothing beats the PC experience. You got controllers? PC too. You got exclusive games? We got emulators. You got better graphics? No, you didn't, silly. All hail PC! |

| A lot of those people that bought new consoles probably won't be on this forum talking about it, lol. Considering I'm poor and cheap, buying 400 dollar consoles and 60 dollar games is out of my realm of possibility. Besides, I'm too much of a sucker for MMOs to even need console games. |
| Nah, i stick with my pc |
 |
| There's absolutely no reason to buy a "next gen" console this close to launch. They will be cheaper and better later, and then I'll be able to see if there's even any interesting games coming out at all too. Call me back when PS5 is out, maybe Ill get a PS4 then. |
| I'm pretty sure I'll get those slim version when they are out.. |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| I will not be buying one of these for the foreseeable future. I have an X360 already and my next console will probably be a PS3, simply because I consider gaming to be an exploration of art and there is a lot of good stuff out there for the PS3 that I haven't experienced yet. Another reason is that I currently do not have unlimited high-speed internet. My current internet is a 6GB/month prepaid mobile broadband, and it is moderately reliable, but nowhere near sufficient for playing online games or downloading games to a console. |
| I've got a Wii U. I'll probably get a PS4 at some point unless weird Japanese game suddenly start showing up on the Xbone along with a cheaper price tag. I refuse to pay 400, 500 dollars for a gaming device. So until I find some amazing deal (that price ain't dropping anytime soon.) I'm sticking with what I have. |

| I had very sour experience with the Xbox 360. I will never own another console. I do have a PC with over $2K invested in it. #PCGamerMasterRace |

| Why yes of course I will. I'm so excited about all the new games coming out. But I have not bought my PS4 yet; I will wait until they release one with bigger storage capacities. I bought my PS3 when it was first released and the very limited storage space was not convenient. That's why I'm going to avoid a repeat of this problem by waiting before getting PS4. |
| I'm broke.... you can do the math. |
 |
| might get a 3ds xl before any of the big three. |
| Buy a new notebook/desktop > buy a new console My battery died last month, rip 4 years. |

| Won't be buying any of them, I have no use for them now that I do majority of gaming on PC. The price of games where I live for consoles is ridiculous anyway, I would rather spend a fraction of the price on PC versions where the graphics will be better anyway. |

I just don't have much time to pop into the store and get the new HDD and back up everything etc. I will do it eventually. I still have tons of games to start and nearly no space at all. |
| I haven't bought a console ever since the PS2. PC gaming is where it's at. |
| the first one that is hacked will be my first choice otherwise i'll be satisfied in pc gaming for free games |

Update: I went and got a new HDD after all. It was very difficult to walk out of the store without buying a PS4 but I did it somehow. I have spent all day yesterday upgrading my PS3, backing up data then restoring it, restoring my trophies etc. It felt good; I went from my old 80gb HDD to 500gb. I teared up from happiness. games make so emotional, don't talk to me. |
