What is your take on Next Gen Consoles... PCs. PS4, XBOX 720, STEAM BOX!

What sort of blasphemy is going on in this thread! There is only one religion - PC!!! =P

Actually I'm a heretic myself, because I have owned PS2 and 3x Xbox360 (no RROD, I'm just a moody person). Maybe it's a PS time again, if there will be some Final Fantasy game that is going to be available only on PS. BUT, I'm also a big Forza fan so...

PC....your welcome

My only concern is if PS4 and Xbox 720, both use AMD GPUs and CPUs. Won't 8 core AMD CPUs outperform intel quads for console ports. Since the next-gen consoles will take advantage of 8 AMD CPU cores. If all 8 cores are fully utilized, intel quads CPUs may be 40 percent slower. Also is PhysX going to be extinct.

I missed this gen so if I buy something it's gonna be PS4. Never got disappointed too much by Sony; microsoft is crap and I think I don't have to explain about today's Nintendo.

I always have my pcs anyway.

Consoles always will have worse performance than PC so there is your answer. If that is not enough: PC is able to emulate consoles. Also try to write any document on any console...

Wii U + Steam is the way to go.

PC with quantum cpu and gpu :P + all consoles emulators

I'm excited about nvidia 700 series and the 6 core(not threads) intel processor from the 4th generation!

OP forgot the Wii U, he did.
PC + Wii U is the way to go.

currently my interest is PC>>>>oculos rift>xbox720>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PS4>>Wii U >steam box> ouya.
PCs will always be my favorite platform for gamming. Inovation and the cheapest prices.
oculos rift seems an interesting concept especially for RPGs.
Xbox 360 was the best console for me, voice commands, extremely simplified UI, quick load times, great exclusives,etc so i have high hopes for the newxbox
PS3 was the updates queen and probably one of the worst japanese consoles i have, if it wasn't region free it would be crap...
I fear that Wii U will go the same way that wii did, with very few "hardcore" games...
ouya and steam box don't appeal much for me.

I won't touch the next consoles during the first two years, I like to wait and let Sony/Microsoft greed settle down and the price to drop from obscene to manageable. That and launch titles are notoriously poor :D I'll stick to my PC for the foreseeable future.

My take?
They all suck balls. PC is clearly better than those worthless pieces of shit that the big corporations make you buy every year.

As a real video game player I only use a PC.

If you want the best graphic PC is the way, I look at the consoles only for the exclusives (mainly Nintendo's ones because I love Fire Emblem, Metroid, Super Mario, Super Smash Bros, Zelda, ecc...).

But I'm curious about Steam Box.

In the past i bought most consoles near their beginning.
But now i stopped playing on them, and sold my X360 and PS3 some months ago.
Still, i will wait some weeks/months, to see when and how well one can run "backups" from them :D
That is the most important point for me. Because i will and can't pay so much for some games.

Never owned a console in my life, but mostly due to financial issues. Would love to buy one one day, but for now I have to stick to PCs. Still the cheapest option, and I don't mean piracy, but mostly because there's no Steamesque equivalent for consoles.

I don't get why people are making decisions on them yet. We don't have definitive information on any of them, just a bunch of rumors and speculation that people are taking as fact even though there has been no confirmation.

PC and PS4

Excited for consoles? What bizzaro world am I in? How can you be excited for something that has no official confirmation yet, let alone think it's good? The Wii-U is the only thing I am remotely interested in and that's only for Bayonetta 2.

3DS + PC is where it is at, I am fixing to give in and buy a 3DS XL.

I don't know if you guys have seen this.. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/02/report-next-xbox-will-use-persistent-net-connection-to-block-used-games/

I use Xbox and PC equally and love both. But if this is true my first through was, of well, Playstation it is.. Then I was thinking theres no way only one of the consoles are doing this. So if that is the case, I choose neither.

That is of course unless they change the price model. As all of us know, Steam makes a ton of money, specially on sale days. Not often do people buy full price which is a huge draw to steam.
If the Next Gen console does not adopt this model, and keep the old $60 a game and never drop its prices, then I think its a no-brainer.
The potential is there as XBLA has sales all the time (albeit not good ones) - so as an xbox user we are already accustomed to buying a title that we know is tied to our account.
I think it all comes down to money.

Useless.

PC.

I am looking forward to the OUYA. Something about an open source console just sounds great.
