*NB*

Not sure if there is a poll for this. Just wondering which one will you plan on getting?

theblaqueguy

PS4 all the way

Captain Chaos

Getting both on launch, but the PS4 had me sold on it since February. Only jumped on the X1 when they had the free Forza 5 pack. I was a 360 fan since launch last generation but since this year with PS+ I've gone back to Sony and can see the PS4 being my primary console this generation.

wes

Getting both on launch. Pre-ordered the PS4 in March and the Xbox One in May.

Potatoeman

Poll needs an atari jaguar option.

COYVB

Both by default, but if I didn't need them for work, neither for another year or so

Randall Floyd

I'm an Xbox 360 player currently but I think it will be a PS4 for next gen, won't be buying for at least a year yet though.

Baked.noodle

Think I'd go for PS4 myself. One thing to consider though it the PlayStaion 4 does not support external hard drives. Battlefield 4 is 35GB, Knack is 37GB, and rumours put Call of Duty: Ghosts is 49GB. You can replace the console's internal hard drive as long as it fits a number of criteria. It must be no thicker than 9.5mm and larger than 160GB. Sony's also revealed that while you can rent games on disc, play them and then decide to purchase a copy, it won't be a smooth transition. The disc install data (presumably including any of your progress) must be deleted before you install the new, digital version, which must be downloaded in its entirety. Also, you will not be able to play MP3s or audio CDs on your new games machine. It will play DVD and Blu-ray movies, but it no longer features DLNA support, so you won't be able to stream videos or other media from your home PC.

I'm much the same. Wouldn't get either day one, there just isn't enough new games there. Maybe next summer if I can afford it.....

Eoin247

Not at launch, in 2014 though. Probably ps4, but the kinect with the xbone also looks pretty nice. It might just boil down to what most of my friends get so I can play with them.

dor83

Xbox on launch for me, Dead Rising and Forza are two of my favourite games so looking forward to them. I would get both if I could afford it but the PS4 will have to wait until I have the spare cash to get it.

Wouldn't buy either til the first round of price-drops and decent bundles but the plan was PS4. I was willing to put up with the controller but then MS dropped the mandatory Kinect and Sony started being arseholes about things like playing MP3s. So for now, undecided.

Lone Stone

Dont think il get either for a year or two, mite just stick to the pc for now. But if i do it will be a ps4.

You'll be waiting for a long time, considering the PS4 is €100 cheaper than the one it likely won't drop in price by €1 until the ONE has dropped €80-100 that is unless the ONE starting to kill in sales.

I'd say it'll be 18 months to 2 years before a price drop happens, the price point may not change but Sony at least do like to add value while retaining the same price.

FAILSAFE 00

Getting Xbox One with Fifa, Forza, BF4, and cod ghost. In March I'll get Titanfall.

Bundles are apparently going to inflate the price at the start. It may be January 2015 before the price drop, I'll wait that long no problem.

zero19

I won't be buying either until there are a few games I want to play, right now for me there's no reason to get one.

Also I want to wait and see what way each system performs after a few months ownership, see if they are reliable.

Kiith

Will get the PS4 first, but neither till next year sometime. Still way to many things to play on the PS3 and pc at the moment.

jester77

I am only going with 1 machine this round. I'm leaning towards the PS4, but I'm tempted to hold off a bit and see what the steambox can do. Plenty of 360 games I still have not played, so in no real rush.

Taylor365

Neither!


FU Consumerism!

Dcully

Nothing interests me at all on either that i cant already play on PC.
Titanfall is coming to PC too so as of yet theres nothing on either that is
A. exclusive
and
B. interesting to me

This video sums it up for me.

http://www.gamespot.com/videos/the-point-should-you-hold-off-on-next-gen/2300-6415611/

But i will be buying one for my son, as of yet im not fully sure which.

richymcdermott

Playstation 4 because I am sticking with the same company since I was 8 years old

once the games I want comes out like infamous second son and metal gear I be all over next gen

grizzly

Will probably pick up a PS4 after 6 months. Will wait for a decent selection of games and the initial hardware issues to smooth out.

Agricola

I got the PS2 and 3 at launch but wont be doing it again. I have a good gaming PC with a one year old high end card so Im sticking to that for now. I just picked up a key for Metro Last Light on a 48 hour sale for 10 euro, so Im happy with what I have.

Plus I heard the PS4 wont have any of the ability of the PS3 to play a vast amount of file formats, no picture card readers etc. I need most of that on my PS3 so Ill keep it.

muppetkiller

I'll probably pick up the PS4 first. It's a fairly well priced piece of Hardware and finally has more comfortable controllers that the XBOX1.

Although now that I'm 1k Into my new PC build I might not get Either of them for some time.

SmurfX

Ps4. Never been very much (if anything) worthwhile on xbox consoles that isn't available elsewhere if you're not big on FPS games.

So you comparing both problems equally and cant decide... forced Kinect, dislike for controller VS a ability to play mp3 ( which is already confirmed to be patched in )... WoW...


Anyway, I am all the way ps4 for launch, got 480eu payed off so far for Killzone ega bundle + Ghost + Knack.
I will be getting Xbox one after price drop later on, got good few friends on that box and I cant resist Forza games.

maximoose

Thread needs a both option

Xbone at launch, PS4 in Jan/Feb probably (a few months ago it was the opposite)

lertsnim

PS4 at launch. I intend on getting the XBOX One late in 2014. I want to see how it gets on before I spend a large amount on it.

PS4 at launch. Don't know if I'll go for the XB1 at a later stage. Have the PS3 and 360, but just rarely bother with the 360 these days. While some of the XB1 exclusives do look great, and probable unannounced exclusives down the line, I just don't think it'll be enough to make me get both. PS4 is definitely my preference though. While all the "Social & Sharing" features don't interest me in the slightest, the PS3 was just a brilliant console, PS+ has been insane value for money, and there's simply nothing the XB1 has that I want which the PS4 doesn't also have.

That does not even make sense in this argument.

Anyway, move a long. Good luck in your decision.

djkeogh

Hmm, I'm an Xbox man but I'm not getting either for at least 12 months I think. In recent times I've been completely swayed by the PS3 exclusives and the insane value in the PS+ program versus the p!ss poor Games For Gold attemp by Xbox.

It's a big case of wait and see at this stage. I've got heaps to be doing on 360 for the time being so I'm in no rush at the moment.

cherryghost

PS4 clearly. I can't see my money going to MS this time round

iColdFusion

X1 at launch for me as I love Forza and achievements but I was on the fence until they binned the 24hr DRM BS.

PS4 already paid for

Thomas D

I was happy enough to buy into a new xbox but they've made a complete mess of it. 720p games? €100 premium for a gimmick like Kinect? I'll miss the controller but I'll sit this generation out for a year at least. Pc gaming all the way.

CastorTroy

I didn't get a PS3 until the Slim, at which point there were plenty of games like Infamous and 2 Uncharteds to play.
Will probably wait again this gen. If I do get one it's looking like it'll be PS4 unless Microsoft do something to convince me to get a XBox One

ShadowHearth

WoW, PS4 is winning it by A LOT. I was expecting something like 60% to 40%, but not that!

why would you pay more for less? surprised its not winning by more tbh

super_furry

PS4 for me. €100 cheaper, the continued support of PS+ and seemingly better hardware swing it for me.

Because I never underestimate the "Power of Fanboy", unfortunately 2 of my local buddies still a hardcore Xbox fanboys and will pick up Xbox One, not ps4. I would love to be able to play with them, but I just cant justify Xbox one. Specially with more and more negative reports about xbox one.

Lucena

Are people not put off Xboxes by previous hardware problems such as the RRoD?

tok9

No more than people possibly being put off by a network security hack.

You would have to think (/hope) microsoft and sony have learned from any mistakes made in the last generation of consoles.

It's not all "fanyboys" that are getting the Xbox over the PS4, some people will prefer the games on the Xbox over the PS4, for example if I was getting the PS4 on launch I would only have a real interest in multi-platform titles and maybe Killzone but on Xbox I really want and am getting Dead Rising and Forza, nothing to do with fanboyism, just I prefer the games on Xbox.

YouSavedMyLife

Looking to PS4 but not at launch, not until a system seller game comes and forces me to buy one

Big Knox

PS4 eventually but no rush. Thankfully Dark Souls 2 is coming out on PS3 so no forced buy just yet!!

Washington Irving

Will get a PS4 at some point, no interest at all in the Xbox.

Have stuck with Sony since PS1 and got PS2 and 3 at release. Bought a 360 in 2010 because that's what most of my friends were playing at the time but hardly touched it after a month or two and went straight back to PS3.

Have moved more towards PC gaming in recent years and if I were to spend €400/500 on a gaming device I'd sooner buy some shiny new PC components than a console.

Optimalprimerib

I never bought a console until a game came out on it that really pudhed me over the edge to buy it. For example bioshock forced me to buy the 360.

However in this case neither qre pushing my buttons. It seems that they wre removing more features than adding them

jiminho

Just curiously, to all the people who picked the PS4, why are you picking it over the Xbox One? I mean is it the price? Whats 100 quid when your going to keep the console for years. The games? Personnel taste I guess but i thought this would be divided 50/50. I just wonder why the poll is so one sided.
