PS4 is my best bet, I can't invest in a console that the games will be useless and lost to history after it's lifecycle ends, it's an insult to emulation buffs, collectors, and archivists and I cannot support companies that limit the consumer as much as Microsoft has done with the Xbox one. The WiiU still is lacking games but is the second option if Sony screws it up as bad as MS (which I doubt).

I didn't know that existed :O
When register your deluxe set at the website & buy games for your WiiU you get credits similar to club nintendo points but they do a little but more than club nintendo points they also get you discounts on games. This is similar to what sony is doing with PlayStation Plus but it's open to everyone instead of a certain group.

I plan to eventually nab all the systems. At the moment though the current two I don't own don't seem very snazzy. The Xbox one having no games shown makes it the least appealing. While the PS4 has a new infamous, knack looks like it will be fun, but outside of those nothing else. Even the wii u doesn't have much running for it, but it does have wonderful 101, bayonetta 2, and at least lots of stuff to look forward to. It probably comes from how early the wii u came out though. I'm sure every console will have something that nags at me to get it, but price, and content matter the most. God help me if the games are 100$ a pop like amazon predicts, and the consoles are like 700$.

Though I love a PC I am a console gamer/collector so I own a Wii U already and I choose the Xbox One over the PS4. They will be very very similar and the Xbox One will come with better exclusives and way more features, so why not?

I think I'll stay with my PC yet again. That way I don't have to pay for a TV, console and console games of which the latter I find to be extremely overpriced.

To be fair even the "Deluxe" memory is absolutely fucking atrocious. In January I got a PS3 for $300 with 250GB and like 5 games included.

I mean it's nice they have no cap on external hard drives but you're still gonna invest a couple bucks towards that.
Whether they made the right decision not including a HDD is debatable. I haven't decided yet. I actually made a poll about it recently.

Their reasoning was that, because hard drives are constantly decreasing in price, it would be better for the consumer to just include a bit of flash memory and add support for USB HDD's. That way they could keep the price down and not have the included HDD considered a rip-off in a couple of years.

I wasn't asking for one, at all. I was supporting chavosaur. It's common sense, when someone comes up with some news, they need to include a source to their link. Or outdoors. For an example, Rob Ford has been accused for smoking crack, and he remains mum about it. CP24 spoke about it.
Oh I agree with you completely. Even if its the top headline of all major newspapers you should still include a link to a source. But since you were supporting chavosaur I thought you might be interested in the source as well.

Still if it's constantly decreasing, why not just include one for the console? The $50 difference in PS3s is the difference between a 250GB hard drive and a 500GB hard drive. 32GB is an absolutely terrible decision considering how "digital friendly" the console supposedly is. I mean games can reach theoretically 50GB in size (dual layer "proprietary Nintendo medium") and when your native hard drive can't even support a single one of those (hell it would struggle supporting a single full sized 25GB game with all the system updates and what not) then you have a huge issue on your hands.

I mean you pay $350 for the deluxe system and what, $50-$100 for a hard drive because odds are you'll need one if you actually want to have digital software in any reasonable manner?

It's just a really unwise decision to go "Look we're not the Wii! We're digital friendly!" and then slap you with a hard drive that's incredibly behind the times.

I agree. At the very least, they should've made the hard drive removable, and sell larger hard drives for it.

Ps4 and Wii U (Even, thought I dont have Wii U right now since there is no 3rd party supporting fully just yet.. I will wait a little bit longer)

No hurry for PS4 either. However, they looks nice rather than Xbox one. :)

I think in a little while, the Wii U will pick up steam and start getting good. It just needs to some good exclusives. This whole entire last gen, I never wanted a PS3, but now, Sony has caught my attention with the PS4. I hope they can keep going with the good stuff at E3. The Xbox One is Xboned. That is all.

I like some of the extras the systems offer but it seems that its all about media over games anymore, especially with the XboxONE. As a collector/gamer I know one day video games are going to cloud and there will be no way to own a physical and I hate the thought of that because cloud you are just renting and never actually own what you pay for. Anyways I see too much of the same between the PS4 & XboxONE, hardware is close in some ways, graphics are going to look the same whether one is more powerful than the other or not because of the lazy developers now days.
