The Wii-U is the least likely one for me. Had a Wii for a while and hardly used it - better for group play than single play and most of the stuff that was "different" was a bit too cartoony.

Same for me Ian but it's the gamer in me I can not resist a new gadget/ console,besides I love Zelda and it came with Wind Waker .....wink

My Nintendo Wii was a giant white paperwaite and like you the gimmick quickly faded and collected more dust than our Dyson vacuumed cleaner mad.

Motion controlled gaming will never catch on,and once they do away with all this Playstation Eye and Kinnect Garbage the better.....

Concentrate on killer games and new IPs ,even developers are not interested in Kinnect.

Killzone wasn't all it was cracked up to be, I played it and it was ok but not amazing. Don't get me wrong some parts of it looked beautiful, but it just wasn't the best game. I have played The Last of Us on PS3 and I didn't like it that much, plus you can't really count that as a new game for PS4 as it doesnt look that much different. Infamous though I will give you that, looks like a class game and I haven't played it.

I am a big Xbox fan but I also look at it with an unbiased view, both of them have done nothing killer yet. Next year will hopefully be the breakthrough year for both of them. Titanfall was a good game, just a shame it was so short and not a lot of content.

Also, that link is to "PS Extreme" so of course it's going to be full of PS fanboys hehe wink

I can find unbiased ones if you like smile.

It's common knowledge that the playstation leads the bone 2/1 ,but on a serious note pkaystation 4 has better games no doubt about it......but mind blowing they ain't ,that I will agree on.

Personally I think this will be the last generation consoles I will buy,my patience is wearing thin and very few games get me excited and personally I think that we in some cases are going backward and not forward ....

Think I'm going to spend about £150 and get myself a killer Gaming PC Rig twice as powerful as Toady's wink

I started off with a C64, and was more interested in that than school naturally.

Games were also on tape, but much latter I got two 1541 disk drives (mainly for my programming), which are here, I also wrote several other programs including a music creating program (with an interrupt driven playing system), a quick program and a shoot-em-up. Unfortunately I no longer have the code (or the programs for these). I did sell one copy of my music program though, which was nice.

I then moved onto the Amiga 600, and got BlitzBasic. That was really buggy and disliked it - I do wish I had brought AMOS instead.

When I heard Commodore was going bust, I quickly sold those and brought my favourite machine : An Archimides A3010, and of course, commenced programming for that, producing many fine programs for it (mostly in BASIC as that was generally as fast as ARM assembler). I wrote a fair bit of stuff, being at University - A sequel to a C64 game, map editor, code generator as so forth. Later on, I upgraded to a RiscPC with a hard drive - yey!

But then, Acorn folded, so I sold by RiscPC and brought a Gateway PC, progressing to a Mesh desktop, several laptops (before they were stolen), and doing a fair bit of programming with Borland C, DarkBasic, DarkBasic Professional.

I still have the page where one of my games was reviewed smile I also got a bit of money from an Acorn magazine for a doubly-linked list ARM module I submitted. It took them over a month or so to realise I needed payment, but I did get a fair bit out of them...

Then I got (several) iMacs, which I kept for a year or so (one was damaged after thunderstorms) and the rest were sold, mainly becase OSX 10.6 was so initially buggy...

Then I moved back to PC's and brought BlitzMax (its okay - have to new every structure before you can use it gets a bit ...annoying), GLBasic (my most used programming system - have done various things with it for Android, Linux and webOS). Unfortunately, for the past year or so, the authors presence as been a bit... lacking.

I also have PureBasic (used it for calculating statistical analysis when I was working), and Monkey X (which, like BlitzMax, can be very... annoying).

All through this time, I've been busy gaming - Lotus II on the A3010, Doom 2 on the PC, Commando and Mayhem in Monsterland on the C64. Starfighter on the A3010 was great fun too. Desert and Nuclear Strike on the Amiga. Ah memories...

I did have a Playstation 1 at some point, along with a N64 (and Goldeneye). We also had a XBox a fair few years ago, but with the pervasive appearance of PC games, they were soon gone.

I also had a Raspberry Pi (with RISCOS 5), but unfortunately it suffered from keyboard input problems, so it didn't last long.

I do regret not being able to get a C128, 1581 3.5" disk drive and an Atari Falcon, all of which were difficult to get hold of.

I started with a Spectrum 48k which I had to use a seperate cassette player, I remember it had to be set to a certain volume for the games to load (transformers game was amazing), I then moved onto an Amiga 500+ with the Captain Planet game lol.
One of my favs was a 486 PC when you had to type in lines of code to make some games work (Xwing vs Tie Fighter was amazing).
I've also had a Snes, Megadrive, PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gameboy, Neo Geo, Saturn, Probably a few others as well.
I remember when I had my spectrum a mate had an Amstrad which was slightly more powerful but his monitor was all green.
