As one commentator said, the Xbox One seems to take all of the negative stuff about digital PC gaming (atrocious DRM, no lending of games, limited/installs or resales) without adding the good stuff - a variety of online shops creating competition and sales - Steam Summer Sale, anyone?), modding community, the option of buying DRM free ...

Also, you're able to plug in any console from the Atari 2070 to Xbox 360 or PS3 and can play your games 10 or 20 years from now. Xbox One not so much, if MS decides to discontinue the system and switches off the servers at some point.

Hmm, he doesn't actually let go. What does that signify?

PS4 was the clear winner of the E3 showdown.

With the currently available info I'd also rather take a PS4 than an XBone. That said, neither console screams "MUST HAVE" or seems to be that huge a leap, technologically, from the current generation. Considering that the current gen has an extraordinarily long lifespan for consoles (pushing on 7 and 8 years, while previous generations had 4-6 years till a new generation came out), that's a bit surprising.

The Bavarian sums up all my feelings on subject as well.

I've never owned a PS-anything (owned both Xbox systems), but Sony seems to be kicking Microsoft's ass so far. Especially because they would let me sell my games to someone besides Gamespot for $1.50.

I did first xbox and then ps2 and ps3.  I don't know really why I gravitated to Sony. Maybe it's connected back to that playable version of Road Rash they had at Universal City Walk back in the day.

I'm thinking of getting a PS4 this generation. I never got into the 360/PS3 generation. I've got a 360 but I've never really used it to play games, it's a media machine more than anything else.

[FunkMonk]

I'm probably gonna skip this generation or wait until the best of these consoles (probably the PS4) drops to something like $200, which will probably be when they release the succeeding generation anyway. None of the stuff they're selling excites me. Maybe I'm just not a gamer anymore.

Had Playstation, and then PS2 and Xbox, finally on my 2nd 360, but yeah if as stands now if decide to get next gen console will be PS4. But pretty much all the games i bought for 360 save the EA sports titles have come out on PC so no reason to buy one if that keeps up.
