Neither. I am playing the waiting game. Age and wisdom have taught me never buy something new until its been run in. Especially when it comes to Microsoft products Only reason I say that is that anything MS brings out needs some sort of update etc.. before it becomes workable and stable. Remember the original XBOX 360's for example the Red ring of death and the PS3 having issues with the flashing amber light of death. Look at the Nintendo Wii U. Having to have updates first before you can use it....

It'll be PS4 for me, but, won't be on launch day.

As above, I'll be waiting to see what breaks first.

Xbox One for me. Much prefer the Xbox 360 controller to the ps3 one and both look like they've continued along the same lines. Prefer the Forza series to GT etc. Just crossing everything that finally MS can make a console that is quiet!!

PS4 for me, I'm hoping to get Assassin's Creed Black Flag and COD Ghosts with it as well.

I might well end up getting an XBox One later on for the likes of Forza and Halo franchises but it'll definitely be Sony for me as a first choice.

The days of me owning more then two consoles like I did before with the ps3,xbox360,wii,and hand consoles just works out to expensive when you start buying games for them all so I have decided to just get a ps4 and be done with that,unless they bring out gears of war for the Xbox one then I might be tempted as that was my game of choice on the Xbox 360.I just hope the ps4 online user base is as fluid as the xbox 360 was as i rated it more then the ps3 attempt.SJ.

Once Chimbo is out of the way the prices of both consoles will drop, by then we will know which one has all the problems. I wonder what colour light of death it will be on the Xbox

to be truthful I only had to send one Xbox 360 console back for the dreaded ring of death the replacement they sent me back never gave any trouble over 5 years of constant use,but maybe I'm just lucky.SJ.

Thinking about paying more for the xbox as that's what I've always had.. Quite a bit more though, the games are about £55 on both next gen consoles.

Not totally decided but I've always had Playstations, never had an Xbox, so it will probably be the PS4.

Depends what my fellow gamers purchase, so to keep the online posse together it will be a group decision.

Interesting how may more people seem to be doing that.
