PS4, Wii U or Xbox one? (1 Viewer)

I loved the PS4, but I think I'll sell my PS3 soon and switch back to PC gaming. I rarely play online, plus the load times on console games is just too long when compared to PC games. For someone who plays FIFA a lot, having to wait 30 seconds for the game to load on a machine dedicated to gaming is ridiculous.
I remember when I used to work at GameStop (it was either called babbage's or electronics boutique back then),when the N64 was about to come out. We were one of the few who had a demo console, and we all came in 4 hours before it was time to open to play Mario World 64. Man you would've thought we all died and went to heaven. I actually kept working there as a second job up until I got married in 2001.
Thats exactly, what the wierd thing about the xbox is.
First, they do a reveal, thats entirely dedicated to "all these extra features"
While their actual demographic, are the dudebrah's, playing COD
Microsoft just makes blunder after blunder, and the way they want to move to, is just hatefull.
Maybe one day, they'll be more hatefull then apple and ea

Microsoft to offer free xbox live?????
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news...g-to-go-on-the-offensive-with-free-xbox-live/
A day after the blockbuster news, first reported by Giant Bomb, that Microsoft was orchestrating a full retreat from their original plans to limit user access to content and require daily connectivity to their servers to play games, EGM has learned from a source that the company is now contemplating additional moves to create parity with Sony’s PlayStation 4.
One of these considerations—which the source said is being discussed—is to bundle the Xbox One with a free period of Xbox Live Gold and provide other incentives that, in light of Sony’s announcement that they will begin charging for online multiplayer, would bridge the price difference between the two consoles. “The cost [of Xbox One] will be comparable to PlayStation 4 after all the multiplayer costs are factored in,” the source indicated.
All of these moves come in the wake of one of the worst brand launches since New Coke. “Xbox One was getting killed last week,” explained another insider with knowledge of pre-order activity at a smaller mass-market retail chain. “The pre-order figures were heavily favoring PlayStation 4 in the days after E3.” This type of consumer sentiment could have put Microsoft at risk of losing the next-gen console battle before it even began.
According to the source, Microsoft hopes that Xbox One users will ultimately choose to embrace many of the features that caused concern after the system’s unveiling. “[They] still believe strongly that their original business model contains many revolutionary features that consumers can be incentivized to adopt or that consumers will activate on their own,” the source revealed.
Time, as it always does, will tell if this new approach yields the results that Microsoft originally hoped for with the Xbox One and their broader strategies.
Update: EGM received the following statement from a Microsoft press spokesperson:
“We believe that $499 is a great value given the premium games and entertainment that are delivered in this system. We are always exploring new offers, but have nothing further to share at this time.”

I'm extremely amused by the fact that Wii U is included in the title as an option...
. I, with all honesty, prefer the exclusives that Wii U has (BSS4, some new Zelda and Mario games, etc.) that all of the others than Xbox One and PS4 could offer. I quite find them stressful and boring, while the Nintendo games are friendlier and I really enjoy playing them
maybe are childish, but that's the way I like it more in the end are just videogames, not like playing one or the other could make you more mature
preorderd my PS4 today. I still had a 500 bucks gift card for amazon.
buying a gameing console is always such a good feeling
and there are lots of good games already comming:
Killzone Shadowfall and Watchdogs at launch with driveclub at launch for free
and later on: The Division, Metal Gear 5, Second Son and FF15
and before the console is comming I have to play GTA5 and maybe the last of us and FF13-3
Almost to many games
