[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6154789, member: 8835"] No prob. Hopefully that was moderately unbiased. The Anti-Nintendo angle is because Nintendo has a worse track record for really bad games getting made on it, and their technology tends to be behind the Big Two consoles. So there ARE good games on Nintendo, but you can get more and better games on the Big Two. Additionally, Nintendo tends to cater to the kid market. If you are a serious gamer, there are more serious games on the Big Two. If you're not a serious gamer, Nintendo could be just fine for you (but conversely, if you have kids, there's plenty of kid games on the Big Two as well). Choosing between the Big Two strays into Religion and Politics for most people. If you're price-sensitive, go with the cheaper PS4. If an extra $100 isn't a deal-breaker, go with the brand you already own (so stay with Sony or stay with MS). There's not a compelling reason to just absolutely switch and there will be some advantages to using the same paid account on the older/newer platform (think about putting the old box on a different TV so somebody else can use it). I own both PS3 and 360. I like the 360 better, and the wife despises the PS3 UI. So I will most likely get a XbOne, but I will probably wait a year for the price drop and hardware revisions to come out, barring some windfall of extra cash to make it a trivial purchase. [/QUOTE]
