    I'll consider going to next gen when games stop becoming available on last gen systems, and it doesn't look like that will be happening any time soon.

    I'd rather they just continue doing the Classic Releases like they have been with PS3 myself.
    Yeah, I haven't paid attention to PSNow, but I recall the prices in the beta being nuts.

    What kind of nuts are we talking about? If it's peanuts, that's not bad. But if it's macadamia, they better forget it.

    Face it Kanno, this is what is going to decide your purchase. Atlus Vs. Monolith.
    Problem: The PS3 is also getting Persona 5.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I was aluding to the likelihood of more SMT exclusive stuff for sony. I doubt there MO for the entire generation is going to be releasing the games on both PS3 and 4.

    Similarly I doubt Chronlicles is going to be the only Wii U title released from Monolith.

    Depends on how well Xenoblade Chronicles X does. Also, I wouldn't be so sure about Atlus' Persona/MegaTen teams being uber generous with games. Considering all we got last generation for console was Catherine and the soon to be released Persona 5. It will be 2020 before we see SMTV since the MegaTen team has this habit of releasing a new entry once a decade since SMTII.

    I can honestly say I don't really see much on the X-Bone to care about so it really would come down to the Wii U or PS4 but frankly I have some reservations with both of them.

    For the Wii U, I'm mainly interested in:
    Zelda Wind Waker HD
    Xenoblade Chronicles
    SMT X Fire Emblem
    new Zelda title

    For PS4:
    Silent Hills
    MGSV
    FFType-0

    So yeah... probably not in a hurry at the moment but I'm just thinking about the future here and seeing if I may have missed something.

    For Sony, that may be right. For ATLUS? I'm not so sure. There's a reason why they own the Vita's library, and it's because they are pretty much the only devs to not push the system to its limits with their games for it (aside from indies, of course). ATLUS is most comfortable making games that are not pushing the envelope of system capability. And as long as the games work on the PS3, they'll be released on the PS3.

    Although if they announce Shining Force IV, I will have to buy whatever system it comes out for.

    The fact it matters to Sony means it's going to matter to Atlus. Right now not so much, but no way Sony isn't going to encourage Atlus to starting doing it on just PS4 later. And since the question was about longterm? Unless Atlus starts releasing their main titles multiconsole later on, they still stand as a good force for PS4.

    For me I'd also throw in NISA, but I was answering for Wolf, and I get the strangest feeling a lot of NISA's releases don't tickle his fancy. :P (Atelier anyone? Though that's just published, as it's actually GUST! behind it, but until Gust get's their own localization teams, they seem to be done by NISA.)

    I'm definitely going to go Xbox One. The reason for this is some of my most played games at the moment have a deal whereby if you stay within the same console family you can get the Gen 8 version of the game for like £5 - £10 instead of £40 - 50 as most people pay. That's a major saving when you consider I have games such as Destiny eating up a very large portion of my time.

    That being said another major plus would be the fact that the 360 controller and Xbox One pad are perhaps somewhat sadly from the perspective of my ps2 loving heart far superior controllers to the Dual Shock. Perhaps I say this because I've grown used to it but playing FPS and GTA games on both PS3 at my sisters, and 360 at home the pad is simply better in terms of comfort and hand positioning.

    Plus at heart I'm a filthy achievement whore :P

    I'll probably buy a PS4 for Type-0. So I still have time to delay for now. Nothing exclusive to the Xbone has me interested in it yet. The second console I get for the next generation will be either a Vita (because Uncharted + PS4 integration) or a Wii U (because backwards compatibility so 2x consoles in one, yes please).
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    If you want a great variety of games, you really can't go wrong with either a PS4 or XBOX One, it all comes down to which developers you're a bigger fan of. That holds true if you're just looking for Japanese games, as I think even Microsoft will get their fair share when it's all said and done.

    As far as the longevity question in the OP, I think Nintendo is going to give the Wii U its obligatory 4 years and release the next one. It's tracking behind the Dreamcast iirc and we've just about crossed off all the ideas on the "What Will Save the Wii U?" chalkboard.
