This is an unusual thread for me to open. But I'd really like to know how the Telltale community stands on the issue. Please provide additional detail as to your region (US, EU, etc.). Please try to not flame this one. It is for statistical purposes only. :)

THIS IS A PUBLIC POLL. PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT OPTION YOU VOTED FOR!

"Undecided" is not an option! :D

    i said "I'm an Xbox360 owner and will buy a PS4." but it should really be "I'm a PC and Xbox360 owner and will (probably) buy a PS4 (when i have the spare cash).

    The 'where you're coming from' idea is very present in my poll, but I think I've already exaggerated it. ;)

    Getting a PS4 for sure. Xbox One is nothing but a rip off in my opinion. Almost crap exclusives, needs to always be online, paying for pre owned games

    I've been with Sony since the begining. I've been with Nintendo, and I've been with Microsoft. PS4 and Wii U..will probably be the only Next Gen consoles I own.

    Will no doubt buy all three consoles eventually, but I'm mostly inclined to get a PS4 first.

    i just have a problem with such an absolute statement as "i will buy" (i don't like to lie/go back on my word) but for normal people my choice was appropriate :)

    I will most likely continue to remain a member of the glorious PC master race until, like fifteen years after nobody is making games for the consoles, at which point I shall purchase a used version of the one that ended up sucking the least.

    Sticking with PC until some exclusives draw me in a year or two. I didn't plan on buying a PS3 either.

    The PS4 looks mighty tempting...
    To be fair upon Launch the console I will most likely get is PS3 as hopefully there will be some cheap ones knocking about...

    PS4

    I own a PS3, and the PS4 looks really good, but I will likely wait a while on it as the last console I bought at launch was quite a long time ago.

    Ever since I fell in love with the ps1, I've always been with sony even though I still have the original Xbox that I don't even play anymore. I'm getting the ps4 for sure, especially after they mentioned the price :D

    I bought a PS3 slim (not super slim, just slim) on the cheap from eBay only about a year ago;

    I bought a black Wii from GameStop only 3 years ago;

    I bought a silver PS2 slim (I don't remember from where) well after it came out;

    I bought a black GameCube from someone on eBay, which came with Metroid Prime (and Zelda OOT Master Quest);


    ...the last (and only, I think) console I bought at launch was the Sega Dreamcast. And look how that turned out. ([EDIT:]I don't even think I got a Super Nintendo or N64 at launch. My parents gave me an NES for Christmas, so I think that might have been at launch, but then I didn't buy it myself so it doesn't count.[/EDIT])



    Still... I reeeally want a PS4 now because Sony fricken is awesome.

    Only system I've ever had at launch was PS3. Backwards compatibility sold it. It was great until it developed issues during one of the Ratchet games. Eventually that stopped working after a couple years, then about a year after that it couldn't get through more than an hour of gameplay and it was just a blu-ray/media player. One day it just wouldn't even boot up. It had a good run, but I wont be buying anything at launch anymore.

    I will stick with my PC, it works and I can more or less get the same games the consoles will have.

    But if I had to choose between the two consoles, it will be a PS4 for sure, Xbox has clearly lost it and I for one will not waste my money in the exact same thing my television can do.

    I honestly have no idea. I don't plan on buying any next generation consoles any time soon. I'll probably get a PlayStation 3 first, before I get anything newer.

    Most likely the first one I'll pick up is a Wii U. I'll most likely get a PlayStation 4 at some point.

    Unless something major changes, I only plan on picking up an Xbox One if, after it's been discontinued, it's revealed the games can be played without online activation once the console's defunct. As I said before, I'm really wary of a DIVX-like situation. DIVX discs are completely useless now since the player can't authenticate with the server.

    i think once the XboxOne is over it will be unusable, that is the problem with (modern) consoles they are temporary and that is why trading games is so prevalent because unlike the pc you can't just keep and play your games forever, the consoles will eventually break and become rare and expensive and basically obsolete

    I think the real issue with XBone is that they're trying to do away with physical discs, and so are trying to make purchasing them moot. At the same time, they've gotten into bed with EA, and EA are schizophrenic about any potential piracy to the point of making their games unplayable to all /but/ the pirates.

    Couple that with the target market not being gamers, and the fact that the price point in no way meets their market... and you have a travesty beyond words.
