Will you Buy Any Next-Gen Hardware, in the next 18 months? (Poll)
So, what you actually going to BUY, with cash-money at the Wallymart and the Best Buy? (A gaming PC with Steam, that you already own, doesn’t count in this dimension.)
I honestly have no idea at this point, still waiting for details, but chances are I might buy a couple things.

Why isn't the option 'no' by itself?
because then we wouldn't get the chuckle-worthy joke about the N-Gage's sales.
As in nobody bought it.
Well i really need to know more about that Steambox. Steam is by and large where most of my gaming is done.
Otherwise probably a PS4. I've had no interest in any Microsoft exclusive this generation but have had considerable interest in many PS3 exclusives and i'm generally keeping an eye on what these studios will come up with next.
No Ouya option? :(
..... No no, its ok, I can understand why you didn't include it. :P (Or the Nvidia Shield... or the Surface Pro... or the Razer Tablet... Or the Gamestick... XD )
Anyway, believe it or not, the Ouya is the only new console coming that I have any urge to get immediately. The other consoles? Probably not within the next 18 months.
At the very least, I'll probably end up getting the next Playstation at some point. But again, definitely not within the next 18 months.
N-Gage gon' take it!
IF I do (and that's a pretty big if) it will likely be the PS4 and the Steambox.
Edit: That's within the next 18 months, I do fully intend to pick up the PS4 at some point.
I can't say definitively but more likely than not, I will be buying a PS4 within a few months of its release.

Well, I'd hardly call Ouya "Next-Gen"
I doubt that I'll get the next Xbox and I'm planning on waiting for the first price drop on the PS4 for me to consider to buying it, at least by then I'll have a pretty good idea as to how the those consoles will be. It's easy to hold off when I have my PC.
As with last time round I'm going to wait at least a year before I even consider getting a new console. I have a sizable backlog of games I want to get through, a good PC and zero interest in being a guinea pig for new hardware after what happened to some last time.
Hopefully after 1-1.5 yrs there will be some decent bundles/price drops and a few decent games that can be got on the cheap.
A gaming PC is already in the books for me but probably will get a PS4 at launch. I've grown tired of my PS3 and I want to be at the forefront of the next consoles... even though I know you're much better off waiting for the first Price drop when more games are available for the thing.
My option isn't here. Either the MS console or the Sony one but as of right now I have no idea which. MS has pissed me off enough with Live bullshit that switching is totally a possibility.
I don't think I can make a proper decision until I actually see what games are coming and what these systems can actually do. For now my Wii U / PC is serving me well.
It really depends on whether or not they have strong launch titles or not, but I will end up getting a PS4 eventually without a doubt. It's just my preferred system brand, no I'm not a fanboy. I like games on all systems, just having a favorite system brand is like having a favorite restraunt.
I have a pretty big back catalog to get through on the 360, and since I doubt the next X-box is going to be backwards compatible, There's likely no onus for me to pick up the Microsoft's next system anytime soon.
The fact that I have an even bigger steam and pc game back catalog, makes it more likely I'll build a gaming rig once I have a real job.
I'm already annoyed with the 360 so the likelihood of me getting the next one is very low. Chances are I'll be getting the PS4 at some point.
As it stands now, I have the most interest in getting a PS4. But this is just based on my own conjecture and how the industry seems to be headed. I have zero interest in the microsoft "family box" idea.
But who knows at this point. We'll just have to wait until E3 to have any real substantial information on what's worth buying.
I had considered purchasing a new PC but with the new console generation coming, I feel like I should wait at least a couple of years before the console hardware start to get outdated before going back to the idea (you could argue that the new consoles will already be outdated by the time they come out but only probably marginally). So yes, I probably will be getting a new console in the next 18 months, and it's probably gonna be a PlayStation unless Microsoft does something major and blows Sony out of the park.
Launch software usually sucks, the hardware is at its most unstable and if you look at PS2 releases for a few years after this gen started, good last gen games still came out. They don't just stop making good games for the consoles you own.
Some PS2 games that came out around the same time or well after the 360 launch: DQ8, FF12, KH2, Shadow of the Colossus, Tales of the Abyss, Bully, Yakuza 1 and 2, Persona 3 and 4, God of War 2.
Hm.
Well, I'll almost definitely buy a new iPhone at some point soon. Mine has problemzzzz.
Beyond that, we'll see. I know I have no need for a Steambox; if that thing retails under $1500 (which it will duh,) my PC is absolutely definitely more powerful, and I'm fine playing at my desk. And the PS4 and Nextbox will have to catch my attention, obviously. Which, hey, they probably will, I really like those things. It'd take legitimate screw-ups to convince me to wait.
If the PS4 has good RPG's or JRPG's on it, then I will buy it after 18 months from day one.
Before that, Asus GTX 680 directcu ii top all the way!!!!
