Didn't it only have like Halo and Fable or some **** and then all the other games were on ps2?

That's the name of the new Xbox. It's pretty stupid. As a gaming machine, it's ok, maybe. They're pushing the entertainment box idea where it's your everything player instead of just a game machine, and it's not really catching my interest. The PS4 is a bit more gaming-centric, but it's also not really all that impressive. They're pretty gosh darn similar (and both mostly unimpressive), but let's see how the fanboys play this out.

The next gen of consoles is looking dull. I guess I'm glad I already have a PC and can save money otherwise wasted on playing the next Call of Duty with Smartglass and Kinect or something.

Not even Halo or Fable so far, just Forze, sport games, a bunch of unannounced exclusives (Kinectanimals 2 anyone?), and multiplatform Call of Duty.

I can't say it's even ok as a gaming machine, I sure as hell wasn't presented as one. It's an entertainment machine, a tv streamer for what I saw. I'm not a big fan of the share function of the PS4 but at least the new features from Sony are aimed at actual gamers. So far, with Wii U already three strikes out for me, I'm putting my money on Sony and getting a PS4 in the future. Till then I'm happy with my old consoles and PC.

Meh, it looks like just the xbox 360 with better specs. It's nice that both the xbox one and ps4 are switching to x86 processors, which makes it easier for game developers to develop games and easier for them to port their games to other platforms.

PC gaming is where it's at. Though if the One or PS4 is compatible with the Oculus Rift, I may have to take a second look at them.

Wow, see, I assumed you were talking about the first Xbox with Xbox One... 

Why have you given Nintendo 3 strikes?

Tablet controller, strike one.
Uninteresting / rehashing / remaking / non-existing games, strike two.
Comparable to last gen consoles, strike three.

The name Wii U was the overkill strike four.

Easier and easier to kiss console gaming goodbye forever.

What I've heard on Twitter about the Xbox One is hilarious.
I mean, jesus, what a trainwreck.

Honestly, the only current-gen console that I want is an Ouya, and that's mainly so I can screw around with it.

So here's a question for you guys, what do you really want in a console that the One, PS4, or Wii U don't offer?

[Bluhman]

Games.

In all seriousness, it's the best VCR I've ever seen. Can it play a game I have any interest in, though?

I think the tablet controller is great, very handy.  Not everyone likes it though, it's a matter of opinion. 

Yea, not much games YET.  They'll reveal some soon.  I'm all for the LoZ:WW rerelease though.  Just give it time.

True, but it's still more powerful (according to Nintendo), but it brought something new, which is typical of Nintendo.  And I agree with the name, they could've gone with Revolution or something catchier.

I don't like the whole strong focus on social networking.  I wanna play my damn games without **** being posted everywhere.  I mean Miiverse is fine cause it's its own thing, but I'd hate it to be focused on what I'm doing and sharing crap.  That's not important.

I think the easiest way to sum it all up is "basically everything that Steam does"

I just want a console that can push games, If I had the choice I would rather see more games produced for the old consoles than new consoles with no games. What excites me about consoles are not the specs, the graphics, the internet capability, online store, touchy controls and stuff like that. It's the games and most of all, multiplayer games that interest me.
Sure, a PC can excel in pretty much any department, especially thanks to steam (just bought deus ex human rev for 4,9€), but I can't invite my friends over to cram around my computer to play worms anymore. A console for me = sit in a couch with some friends, some drinks and play the **** out of some game while shouting profanity at each other and remarking the heftiness of their maternity figures.

I want a shitload games preferably, but from what I heard a lot of devs are extremely happy with the easiness of PS4 development so I'm expecting a bunch of games there. Also Sony's announcement to stroll from FPS as main genre sounds interesting.

I have yet to see a game that utilises the tablet in a non-gimmicky way, and actually improves or invents a new way to play a game useful. Until I see that, I'm not convinced of anything "new", tablet gaming has been around for a while.

Yet is too uncertain. There are games coming, fine. But until I see them, I don't have a reason yet. As for the Wind Waker, I already own it on the Gamecube.
