Gaming What Next Gen System will you be buying this fall?

[AnotherClaymore]

Just wondering?

I for one thought that Micro$oft shat the bed at E3, I made my decision right then. I'm aware that they went back on EVERY single one of the shatty policies since then, but that just shows that they are willing to change things on a whim. Which to me means that a year after release they could easily re-instate the no used game policy or any other terrible policies that they announced at E3. (Like the Kinect ALWAYS listening to you, no thanks, I'd rather not give the NSA a direct camera in my living room)

So if you haven't realized already, Im buying a Playstation 4. Jumping Ship on Xbox, whos with me?
(im guessing no one, every other halo forum is filled with Micro$oft fanboys, is this one any different?)

I'm not leaving the Xbox. But not because I'm a Microsoft fanboy. It's because I love Halo, forging, and the friends I've made through the franchise. I'm not ready to let go of that despite the disappointment that's Halo 4.

Also, they might make Cortana hotter in Halo 5.

Cortana is DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

until xbox one changes im going to get PS4, because even halo 5 isn't worth having a perverted kinect in your house, besides after halo 5 comes out I'll look on youtube to know how the halo 5 story begins and ends, so SUCK IT MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!

You need to look deep inside yourself and realize the reason you love Halo is because Bungie put their heart and soul into it, that's what made it great, thats why we all love it. but Bungie doesn't make Halo anymore, now it's just another money maker franchise, like COD.

(I promise, your find new friends on PS4, and the smart people on your friends list will be switching anyways...come to the dark side, lol)

I'm going to go the pragmatic way. Wait a year or two, see what's doing better, and buy that one for cheaper. So no, I'm not a loyal MC (microsoft or master chief) fanboy. It'd be cool to have Halo on its release but meh, it's not that big of a deal now that it's a once a year game, or so I've been lead to believe..

You do know that you don't need the Kinect plugged in for the One to function anymore, so your argument is invalid.

yeah but they wont offer a bundle without kinect

Still. It would save you from having to buy a Kinect if the need ever arises.

New news: PS4 is out a week earlier (11/15/13) for 100 bucks cheaper.

Just stating facts, don't get butt hurt if your an xbox fanboy.

Now, do you think that one week is going to give the PS4 that much of a commanding lead? Also, Seeing how closely they a both being released to Christmas, a lot more are going to be sold then, so that one week is a little redundant.
Another thing, before I finish, The One is released a week before the PS4 in Europe.

i only got the xbox 360 because it was cheaper than the PS3 at the time, so yeah that means im not really a xbox fanboy i just get whatever has more bang for the fuck (*buck)

Getting the Xbox One initially because of Halo 5, and it has a more comfortable controller IMO. But realistically I'll probably invest in a PS4 about a year later to make sure I don't miss out on any games.

But thank you for attacking me while also spamming this topic and contributing nothing. You are a valuable member of this community, keep up the good work.

Back on Topic.

I bought a PS4, it's money. I'm enjoying the FREE TO PLAY options that no one that plays on a Micro$oft console will ever see ... ever.

You know except Ascend: Hand of Kul that came out like a month ago. That was FTP.

I'm buying a large wooden crate which I will teach babies to jump on. That's true next-gen platforming.

You see, what you look like you're doing here, is lording FTP over people like it's some new and exciting, and makes any real difference.
Most of the FTP games on the PS4 are already available on PC, and have been for ages.
Also, if you get a console just because some of the games are free, then you are doing it for the wrong reason.

Watching people argue over these systems is like watching a political debate - deny and destroy anything 'the other side' has to say, regardless of whether or not it's logical/valid. I miss the days when it was viable to purchase multiple systems. I owned the XBOX, Playstation 2, and Gamecube simultaneously. I actually still own and enjoy each of them. The escalating price of the systems makes this essentially impossible now, and results in the polarization we see in this thread. It's kind of sickening actually.

Personally, I am probably in the extreme minority, as I'm not planning to buy any next gen system. Being an older gamer with numerous other priorities, I can't justify the cost of the system with the amount of use I would get out of it. I have always bought systems for games, and by expanding the focus of their consoles, Sony and Microsoft have priced me out of their systems. I don't care about streaming on Twitch. I don't even watch TV, so I definitely don't need a system that's meant to integrate with that. If I was going to purchase a system, it would probably be the Wii U, simply because of the fact that it focuses on the games. However, the fact that Nintendo continues to ignore the importance of online gaming will probably keep me away from that as well.

I have a handful of games I want to play through on the 360 yet, which will probably keep me busy for the next year. I have several older systems with games that I can still enjoy playing for hours on end. I also have a PC where I can scratch my gaming itch. If those things stop being enjoyable for me, I'll spend more time on my other hobbies - reading, spending time outdoors, watching The Cat in the Hat on an endless loop with a 3 year old (lol). So yeah, this is probably the end of the line for me.
