Debating about plunging into the next Console Generation...

[DMKA]

I'd say the PS4 is going to have the most long term value, based on the power and install base alone, both of which are far ahead of the competition at this point. Also, if you have any interest in Japanese games at all the PS4 is going to be what you want.

Although I have to say, as someone who owns both a PS4 and a Wii U, I still think those of you who haven't jumped into gen 8 yet are better off waiting still, no matter what console you're interested in. There's lots of games coming, but that's just it; they're coming, none of them are here yet. The new game stream is going to begin next year, and by then you may very well be able to find these machines a little cheaper, and who knows what sort of packages will be out then?

Oh sure, there's a few exclusive high profile releases this year worth getting excited about for each console (Bayonetta 2 and Assassin's Creed Unity both have me super pumped), but enough to run out and invest $300 to $500? Not just yet.

Besides, last gen is still getting a pretty regular stream of high profile releases. The Evil Within, Assassin's Creed Rogue, Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix, LittleBigPlanet 3...all look very promising and all are coming out on last gen consoles this year.
