We had a thread about peoples plans for next gen consoles around the middle of last year

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9698

Which showed :

Xbox One within first year 2% [ 1 ]
PS4 within first year 55% [ 25 ]
Undecided 13% [ 6 ]
Xbox One and PS4 2% [ 1 ]
Neither 26% [ 12 ]

My vote went for undecided at that point.

Now we're six months in and have some of the next batch of games out or due this week (Titanfall / Infamous / Metal Gear ) so whats the number of people like for each console now ?

I am already in the process of upgrading the pee-cee, but I have no idea what else I'll do this year. Probably get something for my Amiga.

There's no "I own a PS4 and I'm [getting] a Peeeeee Ceeeee" option.

This poll is a failure.

But I've gone for "I've got a PS4". Ta.

My thought is basically ps4 as and when it gets enough good games. Whether that's this year, No idea, but probably not.

I think E3 will be a good indicator for what big stuff is due and where it will arrive - we already know stuff like Destiny will hit at the end of the year and there are still rumors of Fallout 4 for this year but there doesn't seem to be the big run of games already announced that we normally have for Q4

I also wonder that now South Park / Dark Souls II have arrived and that Metal Gear / Watchdogs are due soon we're seeing the last few big titles for the previous gen

I live in hope that this generation will be the generation that plays The Last Guardian.

I've got a Wii-U which will keep me happy for now and then maybe get a PS4 when there's a decent library of games for it

None of the above. I have a Wii U and intend to get a PS4 next year. There's got to be at least a couple of games I really want and can't play on the PS3 or Apple PC. I may even wait until the first price cut!

I'll get an Xbox One sometime in 2018/19 if there any must-have exclusives by then and it's not just riddled with adverts, TV apps and Kinect shovelware.

I'll be getting a PS4 probably this year, but primarily game on my PC.

Edit: And already have a Wii U, 3DS and PS Vita.

Can't see myself ever getting an Xbox One.

No Nintendo products. Ever.

Xbone negative.

That's less embarrassing than saying you're considering an Xbox One, definitely.

Rayman Legends arrived yesterday. Cost me under a tenner.

And it's utterly beautiful and inventive and all that stuff.

I loved my DC and I loved my Gamecube and I think the Wii-U is going to be the same. Unloved by the market but coveted by nostalgic old men with stupid chin beards.
