I'll be getting the PS4, but it probably won't be at release.

I'll get a PS4 after the release hype is over, the launch titles get their first price drop, and Sony comes up with a 2014 bundle.

I got to get a PS3 first. Not sure the time spent during my PhD was worth not playing any games at all... :)

After thinking about it, probably just sticking with my 360 for a while. After purchasing PSN+, system, accessories, games, it's looking more like a $600-700 investment at the very least.

I'm in this boat I think, going for a PS4 bundle in 2014 probably. Going back to the SNES I've had at least one system at launch during each of the major generations. I ended up last paying $700 through Ebay for a PS3 at launch. While I still prefer it to my Wii and play it fairly often, I've got kids & a house now so I can't just drop cash on game systems.

Definitely getting Xbox One. Never been a PS fan, and never will be. I'm still using first gen XBox 360 with a whopping 12GB HD...and yes i got this at the original release. At this point in my life, I don't have a lot of time for gaming, so when i do get to play i want some Halo, sports games, or other RPG type games (Skyrim, Assassin's Creed). So from that list, i can get all the games on either platform except Halo. Also, I want something that has Netflix, HBO GO, and other integration built it.

I do think PS4 is going to kick XBox One in sales for about the first 1.5-2 years just because of sale price and all the bad rep it went through at first. I eventually think the XBox will take control again, just like it seems to always do. People will realize the exclusive games are awesome, but the main thing that will drive people towards XBox is all the integration they will gave 1-2+ years down the road. They already have all the Windows 8 integration where you can use Smartglass, tablets, phone, etc to enhance gameplay and experience. Microsoft also announced the partnership with the NFL to bring a "brand new experience" to watching NFL games. You know Microsoft is going to expand those partnerships to other sporting worlds, and industries. Microsoft has a lot more pull in the world of technology than Sony does just because of what they can offer with Windows 8. XBox Live is also much better than anything Sony can currently offer, and that is not changing anytime in the future.

I'm not saying the PS4 will be any less inferior; I'm sure it will be equal, if not better than the Xbox in terms of graphics, processing, etc. In years to come, Microsoft will make the XBox something we haven't seen before while the PS4 will just be a gaming machine with bluray player and internet access.

Just my 2 cents.
