What console are you buying at launch? (Post MS180 Edition)

Now that Microsoft has reversed several of their policies with DRM and online connectivity in the Xbox One, which console(s) are you buying at launch?

In before the poll!

PS4

MS will now get treated like Nintendo. X1 (at a later date) will be my Halo & exclusive machine.

Still neither. I'll get one eventually, but I guess it's a bit more up in the air now than it was before.

Kinect and price are still sticking points. If they fix those, I'll get Xbox One sometime next year.

PS4 at launch
XO when it starts getting worthwhile exclusives and either the Kinect comes unbundled or it drops in price by a good bit.

Still PS4.

As I said before, Microsoft can keep their soup nazi attitude and their Kinect, and I'll keep my $100.

Re: What console are you buying at launch? (Post MS180 Edition)

Before either console was officially announced, I was excited for the next-gen Xbox. After the two initial announcements, I wasn't interested in either console. After E3, I hated the Xbone and was looking forward to the PS4. Now after the Xbox180 reversal, I'm undecided.

I've got pre-orders for both just to hedge my bets. I'm leaning towards the PS4. But I really disliked the PS3 due to it's crappy controller, the slow update/download/install process, and the overall UI. If they can fix those, I could love the PS4.

On the other hand, I was a big fan of the 360. But I'm really turned off by the forced Kinect and higher price. If they offered a $399 version without the stupid webcam, I'd be all over it.

Despite the reversal of MS...still the PS4 and keep the 360.

I'm thinking of the Xbox One around when Halo launches with a XO Halo Edition

Both - day one. Now I just need to decide if I should get Watch Dogs for the PS4 or X180

PS4 for sure unless Microsoft drops the price $100 bucks. Glad they fixed the DRM and internet issues, but it's still ridiculous to release a console that's $100 more expensive.

I'll wait for a $100 price drop to pick up a Bone.

Re: What console are you buying at launch? (Post MS180 Edition)

Waiting until Holiday 2014 to make my final decision (so I didn't vote). That way I should be thru with my back catalog (yeah, right), and many of the in and outs of both consoles will be understood and/or problems resolved.

If I can burn thru most of my back catalog before then or if the PS4 has some really kick-ass bundles for this year's holiday (which I sincerely doubt it will), then I may get a PS4 this year.

I am on the PS4 side of the fence at this time unless Sony really fucks something up or Xbox does 180s on the other issues I have with them. I really want to just be a one console guy next time so waiting a year should not only give me the best deal on the system I choose but it should be pretty clear which system is the one for me at that time. Right now, I have lost all trust in MS.

If I had more funds available, I'd get both at launch, but I can realistically only afford one. Right now, my plan is still PS4 at launch and Xbox One in 2014. That could change based on developments between now and November, especially if more console exclusives are revealed.

Still have both preordered for now. But I'm still not sure if I want the PS4 at launch or not. I do want want it eventually though, just once it has a couple more exclusives that I'm interested in.

Re: What console are you buying at launch? (Post MS180 Edition)

Right now, I've got both on preorder. I can easily cancel either. With all the changes to Xbox, I'm still leaning toward that. My main concern is buying it at launch and then having nothing to play. Watch Dogs and Dead Rising 3 are the two titles I'm interested, but would like to see reviews on. As for the PS4, I don't think I really need to have it as there isn't really any exclusives I want.

I won't make a decision until a few weeks before, I'd imagine.

Is it known for sure which one is coming out first?

I'm with PS4 only even after the Microsoft 180. It will remain that way until I once again feel comfortable with the Xbox brand. That may sound willy, but there ya go.

No. Microsoft has said it will be out "November", while Sony has only said that the PS4 will come out "this holiday season."

Amazon seems to have focused in on November 27th as the launch date of the Xbox One. Rumors going around that the PS4 would launch at least 2 weeks before that, but nothing concrete either way.
