Dont know about anyone else but im staying with my 360 for M25. I think that next year will be the year that Madden will be at its best because it will be the third year of their development cycle.
Visually, im not expecting a major leap. If anything, it will be minimal at best. Not only that but I learned a long time ago that launch titles almost always disappoint regardless of what type of game it is. You rarely if ever see a "classic" at launch because it takes time for all the developers to learn the system, its positives, negatives, workarounds, etc.
I'll stay with my 360 and PS3 for at least another year if not longer. Next gen is thus far nothing special. Wii U was pretty much dead on arrival and eight months later, there's still no must buy game for it. Wii U wont pick up any momentum until Nintendo releases their class franchises but by then, it will probably be too late. The original Wii is actually the better option between the two.
Xbox One is going to be dead on arrival as well unless they change some stuff. Kinect always on??? Sorry, I dont give two craps about Kinect but its required or the system wont play games??? You've got be kidding me??? No used games...third parties decide the fees??? Seriously, what were they thinking??? Microsoft is making worse mistakes than what Sony did with their PS3 launch. Only difference is that Sony rebounded. I dont think Microsoft will. And I have to connect EVERY 24 hours???
I prefer 360 over PS3 but as of right now, im 100% leaning towards PS4. $100 less, no bullcrap restrictions, etc.....sign me up. The only negative is that you have to be a PSN+ member to play online but that was expected and since I dont play online, it doesnt affect me either way. Like that they're letting indie developers self publish and have minimal to no restrictions. If I was Tretton (sp?), I would have launched PS4 at $300 instead of $400. $200 less than Xbox One would have pretty much put the nail in their coffin before the system even launches. Granted, Sony would have been losing money but once they release the next Uncharted, Last of Us, etc, they'll easily make it up and eventually get profits.
While im leaning towards PS4 100%, im still not buying it at launch though. No must buy game whatsoever. The last console to have a game that warranted a must buy at launch was Nintendo 64 with Super Mario 64. In general, no console has or will ever match the launch of Super Nintendo...now, that was a launch and the way it should be. I will never understand why the "big 3" never have a must buy game at launch but whatever, better for me.
