When will YOU buy into the next gen?

I see they FINALLY understand that there's no good reason for a download not to be cheaper than a retail release!
I'm a cheapskate and will be buying a PS3 when the PS4 launches. Did the same with the PS2. Have a Wii but got that for free.
I spend a fortune on consoles when I was younger, buying them on launch day, and paid full price for games because I was impatient... Now I can buy all those great titles for a fraction of the price

Actually, my mind is starting to move toward the next, next gen systems...i.e. What the PS5 is going to be like and where Sony could go, next, with it. Will 4K be essential? What Nintendo could do with their next system, after the Wii U. Where could they lead the way with innovation, like they always do? Is the Xbox One Microsofts last real game console? Will they move to a more tv entertainment content system where games are relegated to being just another feature of it and not the focus?
All I know is that I really do not want a digital download only system. 4K will be critical for the next, next gen. Games still need to be the focus.
Like this next gen, I will probably wait at least a year before buying in on the next, next gen. Though I will still probably buy the Wii Us successor on launch day.

I'd bet 4k will be critical for the 9th gen.
And I agree, download only sucks.
You buy digital games I want come on discs!
Two games I'll miss in PS4 are Quantum Break and Killer Instinct (damn Rare, why did you guys had to sell out to Microsoft!!! hahaha).
The way I see it XBOne has a better line-up for premiere games, when the PS4 really has none. And with Kojima seeking for more money MGS V will get released to Microwaves and Arduinos as well.
Nothing wrong with games coming out to everything, but as a former PC-gaming-machine-builder it'd still feel nice to get "exclusives" not available specially on PC (see? With your monster PC you still wouldn't be able to play this!).
As far as 4K goes yes, PS5, XBTwo will probably advertise that but some games will still come with 1080p.

I love Rare too but was never a big fan of Killer Instinct. Heck I even digged Perfect Dark on the 360. The infection mode on that game was awesome fun in multiplayer, and made my Christmas 2005 so much fun.
Now if they had Banjo / Viva Piñata or Kameo for the xbox one I would almost certainly pick up an xbox one for those games, but given all of them got poor sales I'm afraid I am unlikely to see any of those series in the future.
Thankfully Knack & Skylanders will fill my Kameo void in my PS4 launch line up
I was going for day 1 but then again weak launch titles had pursuaded me to wait for a month atleast before i jump into the ps4 bandwagon.
Oh yeah Banjo. I think they screwed it up with that spacecraft-building thing they released to the 360. I doubt they release it if ever, and that news flash in mid-2013 turned out to be a hoax, anyway.
Oh and add Conker's Bad Fur Day to the list, but that was a game ahead of their time and on the wrong console. Maybe Rockstar should get the rights to it, hehehe.
I was persuaded by a weak line-up and unavailability to order
p). But seriously, it's too bad the first games are PS3-ports or non so thrilling ones (IMHO). Even WATCH_DOGS would've been a PS3-port so...
I'm personally thinking about getting a PS3 this winter. I already had one, but it was getting slightly messed up (and I never liked the jet engine fans!). There are so many great games for PS3, that I don't see a point in upgrading until a couple years down the road.
Anyone know if the PS3 price is bound to get even lower once the PS4 is released?

I'm definitely waiting until there is an extensive library of games that is appealing to me, so anywhere from 6 months to 2 years probably.
Something possibly more appealing is the Best Buy Black Friday 360 bundle that had 4 games (Tomb Raider, Batman: AC, Halo 4, Darksiders II), plus the console (250 GB) for $189. I've never done Black Friday, but something like that makes me want to venture out.

I will get both the PS4 and Xbox when they come out with redesigned slim model. Which should be around the time after I graduate and have a proper job, which means I will have money to service the console with games Things are just too expensive at the moment, games are ridiculously expensive, 25% price increase in the UK. (£40 to £50 now)

Problem is, once you have a proper job, your time to actually play games goes away. I'm sitting on a stack of unopened Wii and PS3 games because of this. Heck, I still have some Gamecube games I haven't opened.
Unfortunately, when you have the time to play games, you don't have the money for them...when you have the money to buy games, you don't have the time to play them...

Amen to that.
I can only play one day a week usually.
One of my off days is dedicated exclusively to my son and no one (not even work) comes between that and the other is my rest day
