The PS3 is just fine for me, thanks.
Maybe in 5 more years from now.
Apparently both are going to be out this holiday season and Sony is announcing theirs on February 20th (if reports are to be believed). Code names are Orbis for the PS4 and Durango for the next Xbox.
Are you guys excited, worn out, skipping this generation, moving on to PCs?
Trailer for event:

Interesting. Were you a late adopter?
I was an early adopter for the PS3 and 360 and to tell you the truth, I want something new and shiny next to my TV. The 360 is already eight years old and it's seriously showing its age to me (as well as the PS3). I don't know, I guess I'm a sucker for new tech and stuff like this excites the technophile in me.
Same here
Nah I bought a PS3 on release date (The 20GB one) and when that one died I bought the 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundled.
I still have that one going strong.
My gaming desires has really waned over the years. I hardly play games. I mainly Netflix with it now and I'm only buying like 3 games per year tbh.
Next game I'm looking to buy is that Metal Gear Rising one coming this february.
have a ps3 brick...only a couple of games...but it aint hooked up to anything cause cbf with it...same with the 360 and wii.....
gave up on console gaming....
PC/ Galaxy Note 2
consoles
I will buy the PS4 when Gran Turismo 6 is released. Until then, I have no use for it.
LOL which means like 10 years from now.
Then so be it.
the steering wheel from logitech g27+ whatever....is worth buying for racing games, besides that theres not many good car racing games besides f1 + gt series....
I still have two of the original steering wheel from when GT3 came out. At the time, it was the only USB steering wheel made for any game.
Depends on the price. Anymore than 400 and that. Both systems have things I will want but PS has way more quality exclusives so I will likely stay with them. I'm not going to switch right now though. The PS3 is still a great piece of equipment and I don't feel a need to upgrade.
Bought my Xbox in 07 but i'm still not planning to buy a new console any time soon tbh.
what more could they do?
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I don't game as much as I used to except the occasional FIFA or AAA game that everyone gushes over about. Long are the days when I could play a game for half a day. My systems collect dust but I still like buying them for some reason.

Latest reports from around the web all in one place
Back in 2008, Destructoid created a tag for 'PS4'. It's about time we put it to good use.
With Sony ostensibly planning to show off its new console by the end of the month and the rest of us salivating in anticipation, now is the time to gather all the info we currently have on the PlayStation 4 (codename: Orbis).
Personally, I'm excited for the bizarre ad campaign to come.
[Psst ... that image above is a fan mock-up.]
The controller
Sony's new console will introduce a new take on the traditional PS controller, according to Edge, keeping the same size while adding a small touchpad in place of the Select, Start, and PS buttons. The touchpad is based on the Vita handheld's rear touch tech.
Along with the touchpad, a new "Share" button will give players the ability to immediately capture and distribute screenshots and video online (similar to OnLive's Brag clips); the console will continuously record the last 15 minutes of gameplay, so video is always ready to go (or maybe military are using it to find the next star fighter?), according to Edge. CVG's source echoed this info, which increases its likelihood to be true. It is unclear if this Share button is a physical button or the touch pad itself, accessed by clicking down on it, according to Kotaku.
PS4 will continue to support Sixaxis (improved with tilt correction) and the Move motion controller, according to do ents reported by Kotaku. The system launch will also bring about an improved version of the PlayStation Eye peripheral, according to Edge.
Why is this exciting? Sony's new controller will be a natural evolution, as it continues to occupy a place between current trends (touch, motion controls) without fully committing in the way Nintendo has with the Wii and Wii U or dividing the userbase like Microsoft did with Kinect. It's hard to imagine what can be done with such a tiny touch pad, and it's frighteningly easy to imagine what terrible touch gimmicks can be shoved into games after the Vita. The share feature makes me more hopeful, as it sends an early message that Sony is investing in online infrastructure in a big way.
The hardware
As of January 2013, according to Kotaku, the current development kit consists of:
System Memory: 8GB
Video Memory: 2.2 GB
CPU: 4x Dual-Core AMD64 "Bulldozer", 1.6GHz
GPU: AMD R10xx (w/ Liverpool)
Ports: 4x USB 3.0, 2x Ethernet [extra for local sharing, dev. use]
Drive: Blu-Ray
HDD: 160GB [Retail may be larger]
Audio Output: HDMI & Optical, 2.0, 5.1 & 7.1 channels, headphone jack
Sony's console may have an advantage over Microsoft's codenamed Durango due to the high performance GDDR5 memroy in the system that can move data at 176 gigabyters per second, according to Edge. A source told the magazine that the PS4 is “slightly more powerful [than Durango]” and “very simple to work with.”
Why is this exciting? The framework of the PS4 will closely resemble a PC, making it easier to develop for and fix (when the inevitable launch batch problems occur). Eurogamer compare the PS4's GPU to the Radeon 7970M laptop GPU (used to run Crysis 2 in the video above). Unless the reports are wrong, PS4 should out do the Durango in terms of sheer power. Can you imagine the next Killzone or Uncharted on this thing?
Online
Rewriting the rulebook on console networks, PS4 will allow more than one user to be logged into a single console at the same time via controllers. Accounts won't be locked to a controller, but each connected controller will require an account to associate it with.
Kotaku reports that this will allow even distribution of trophies in games, such as all four logged players gaining the same achievements from defeating a difficult boss.
There are also premature reports of the console putting a greater emphasis on media, which is kind of stating the obvious at this point. What's more interesting is Sony's plans for the Gaikai tech.
Why is this exciting? Though Xbox Live and PlayStation Network function well enough, it's always a hassle to log in with other players. Starting an offline co-op session can often feel like puzzle to be solved, in certain games. This new system will make the process easier and faster, while putting a greater emphasis on offline couch play -- something hardware manufacturers and game publishers thought would go away, but instead the Wii only increased its value and presence.
Launch
Sony's next console will make its debut at a New York event ("See the future.") on Feb. 20, with a holiday launch in US and Japan to come (Europe in 2014), according to The Wall Street Journal, Polygon, and Edge. The predicted price point is somewhere around $350 - 400.

A new Edge report suggests that Microsoft's next Xbox gaming console, code-named Durango, will require an Internet connection to use. It also won't be able to play used games, Edge says.
Man, I remember when new consoles dropping was a big event and there would be a million bull rumors flying around about each one.... nobody even cares anymore now
DAFUQ?!
Well that makes my decision much easier.
PC master race
Microsoft still behind the 8-ball.
Even for the die hard Xbox fans this wont go down well I would presume.
