360 will stay connected to the main projector, and PS3 will stay connected to the secondary TV.
Wii will keep collecting dust.

Same here. I have about 200 games in my backlog. I should be done by 2020. lol

I'm not getting a PS4 until they drop in price to about PS3 prices or I win the lottery, and with the new games coming out for the PS3 it seems like the new ones will be keeping me interested and busy until that price drop. Plus I still have my backlog of PS1,PS2 and PS3 games

I've never bought a new console at launch and that won't change with this generation either. I have a lot of games that still need to be played on my PS3 and 360. I'm comfortable waiting a year until I buy one of the new consoles (although I'll eventually own both, just like the last generation).

My ps3 is in my bedroom and it will stay there. I'm not getting a ps4 for about a year or so but when I do I'll put it in the living room and keep the ps3 in the bedroom for netflix/blu ray and the occasional old title.
I still have a wii hooked up in the living room and I'll keep it there for when I get the occasional itch to play a virtual console game , and it's out of sight anyway.

I'll will eventually be picking up a PS4, when I do the PS3 will get moved to either our bedroom or RV.

The 360 will go out on the main TV for my boys to play Kinect, etc. on and the One will be hooked up to the LED TV in my office where I mainly play now.

I'm keeping my 360 for BC games, XBLA games, and because its got my Rock Band library on it and I still play a good deal of Rock Band.

Gotta keep the Xbox 360 hooked up due to Disney Infinity. If they release an Xbox One version and we get that Xbox Rivals game (for the bowling for my kids), I could probably dump the Xbox 360. I don't really have a ton of digital content wrapped up in it. I guess I could keep it in case, but it seems sort of pointless.

So I finally had to say goodbye and pack up my original Halo edition Xbox last night. I'm running out of space on my battery back up surge protector and it's been at least a year since I fired it up. Never got around to finishing Psychonauts, but I guess I could always restart it on the 360. Also packed up all of the Xbox and PS2 games and put them in storage.

Use the shit out of my PS3s. They still play movies and will be my go to players for movies, music, digital files and Netflix as well as the games I will still continue to play. The PS4 will be my gaming console and that is what I'm buying it for.
