Will you buy the next xbox on launch?

 Considering the rush to get the 360 out in the market, and all the faults that lead with it, I'm most likely not going to buy the next xbox at launch. At the same time as I'll get a working xbox, that'll save me the hassle of sending it to Berlin or whereever, AND I save some money because of price cuts. I might go for the PS4 at launch though.
 
Btw, I meant to type "at launch" but there's no edit button :P

Fuck no.

Considering that I've never bought an Xbox or an Xbox 360, I can't imagine buying any console at launch.  Heck I usually wait for PC games to drop in price before I buy them.

I doubt they would let another red ring issue happen, but consoles at launch are generally too expensive. I'll just wait for a good deal or for them to drop the price.

Assuming they have a launch title or two I would be interested in, then yes.  

Prob not!   Will wait as the elite came donkeys years after wards.

No. I'll only buy it if there will be reasons for me to do it. 
 
Reasons = Games

Probably, I love Xbox

" Fuck no. "

M$ has proven their system is one worth owning from the start, hardware issues included. It's sometimes a hassle, but for me and the overall quality of the games, I have to say it's highly likely I'll be there day one. Nintendo is an entirely different story altogether, though.

Nope. There are too many games coming out this generation and I haven't even played most of the other great games yet. I'll wait awhile until there's a price drop or when both Microsoft and Sony begin to halt game production for the PS3 and the 360.

probably not because it will cost around 500 bones  on release the PS3 was anything to go by, i shall wait for it to drop in price.

probably not   
 
unless there's some super duper exclusives (that aren't on PC)

Depends on how it looks. If ms decides to go all Wii on our asses then i wont pick it up at all, but if not i'll wait a little bit and see if it has the same problems the 360 had at launch.

Any Nintendo console is pretty much a day one for me. A Sega system, was day one. Sony had day one with PS1, as soon as I could fine one with PS2, and a year after launch for PS3. ALl have something in common, games I wanted when I bought them or shortly thereafter.  Xbox rarely has games I want, it is year 4 for the 360 right? ANd this year it finally has enough games to warrant the purchase that aren't Live Arcade games.

fuck no

I think I will. Also, anyone that voted no because of the last Microsoft launch are liars. Of course everyone will be praying that things wont go that horribly wrong again but when the next console generation comes around nobody will care about last gen. Everyone will just want the newest stuff unconditionally.

No. I never buy games on launch, I prefer to wait a year or two until there is a decent amount of games to play.

Buying any console on launch is generally a bad idea since it's too expensive at the time, there maybe hardware faults and there aren't many games for them. So no.

I never buy any hardware on launch.  Waiting in lines with crazy people, fears of that product breaking, the possibility of an updated version being released only a few months later, sudden price drops... there are just too many positives with being a patient consumer.

I mean maybe not DAY OF LAUNCH because it is normally a little to crazy but when I can get somewhere that isn't going to be swamped, hell yes I am going to buy it. I mean unless the launch just has crap games which I highly doubt, but this isn't happening for awhile so nothing for anyone to worry about.

It depends on the games it has. Although probably not. Consoles usually have a very average launch line up.

Probably not, unless I have a good job and money to spare on a $400+ console purchase. Besides, my 360 isn't even a year old yet, and my PS3 is only 2 years old. They both have a ton of life in them & will be going strong long into the next generation.

Absolutely not.

Fuck no, didn't buy this one anyway, and considering how the launch went. . .

No, I'd rather wait than purchase one on launch day.  The only console manufacturer I would trust on day one is probably Nintendo.

If I have the cash and if there are actually launch titles I'm properly interested in then yes.

No, simply because I'm a lot poorer now than I was when the 360 launched. I waited a year last time, im probably going to have to wait a longer time next go around.

This poll really should have had a 4th option
D: No, I've never bought a Xbox, And never will.
 
That seems to be where most of the no's are coming from.

Day one absolutely for me. Same for the next Playstation. Some of my favorite memories are getting a 360 and PS2 on their respective launch days.

Well both my 360 and my 60GB Launch PS3 have died. But my Xbox was repaired for free, my PS3 I had to effectively downgrade and get the slim. 
 
So I will be happy to buy on launch provided there is something I want to play on it.

probably going to be too expensive... and i'm not really interested in it

I will buy every new system at launch.

As long as they continue to have the games I want with the best controller/online service.
 
I've had a bunch systems break over the years and microsoft is the only one that ever fixed it for free.
 
When my Dreamcast died Sega tried to charge a crazy price.
When all three of the ps2s I ever owned died (only kept rebuying because it was the house dvd player as well)  Sony basically laughed at me when I tried to get a replacement. 
Wii died in less than a year Nintendo still charged me.
When my 3 year old 360 died I got a box and a free fix.
Not to mention the horror stories my roommate has about his ps3 issues and having to pay sony 150$! TWICE.
 
Hell even if the xbox 360 successor has a 100% failure rate as long as the fix is free I know I trust them the most from past experiences.

Console launches are dumb.

Most likely.
