To be honest, my computer’s kinda outdated, so it’s really useless when it comes to gaming. So that’s one of the reasons I prefer consoles.
 
But please, lets not turn this into another one of those “consoles VS PC gaming” debates. Those are annoying.

@Prof.NightJack  
“All these people” =/= “Everyone in this thread”.  

@Keith Mowz  
Umm, how are we all talking about buying a new console, i see very little talk of that at all.

All these people talking about how they’re going to buy a new console
 
and I’m just over here, enjoying the same computer I’ve had for the last 6 years that I’ve only had to repair or upgrade twice. And using it to post my response on this board right now, because its a computer. It does lots of things, not just games, because it is actually meant to do those things.

@Prof.NightJack  
Actually, I feel the same way, (heck I still enjoy 8-bit games) I’m just saying consoles need more then just “good graphics/power” is all.

@Beau Skunky  
Who cares about graphics?
 

 
 
I’m alone in this king of thinking… aren’t I?

It looks nice, but one question, how is it any different from a PS3?
 
We’re starting to reach a point where video game graphics aren’t going to get much better then they are now.

@Background Pony  
That statement is baffling.

@Appletart  
What’s the last console that didn’t look like a box or box-like shape?

its a box, its a bucking box

The only worthy console remaining.

I may get a PS4 some years down the road, $$ permitting. Lack of backwards compatibility with PS3 (which I also don’t have but there’s a few games for it I’d like) is an issue.
 
I’d also like to get a WiiU, since there’s a number of games I want for it (Sonic and Mario titles, mainly).
 
XBox One can suck it. It’s not the used game policy or even the always-online policy that cross my line (though those are really irritating), it’s the ever-spying Kinect. Given how schools are already known to have spied on students using school-issued laptops, there’s nothing preventing Microsoft from doing the same thing down the line, and selling/giving camera info to the government (or worse, Facebook and their ilk).

@Background Pony  
And not doing what Sega did, in the lae 90s they where sapporting five systems and two add-ons at the same time, only stopping when the Saturn came out.

@PwnyPony  
Which follows a pattern of what Sony has done in the past, if they do that. They continued to support PSX for however many years past the release of PS2, then PS2 for years and years after PS3’s release.

@441TheSecond  
Glad I am not the only one who thinks it looks somewhat like a PS2.  
PS2 + PS2 = PS4

So, this is a PS4? It looks like a PS2 who ate too many pies.

@derroflcopter  
Don’t worry about that, they will continue support for it quite a few years even after the ps4 will be released or so they say.

I might get this or a Wii U.  
The Xbox One, on the other hand, can kiss it.

Save them from Microsoft.

It looks awesome, but I don’t wanna get it yet. My PS3 is still wet behind the ears.
