This. Well I already had a Vita, but would have gotten one for TxK if I didn't. I did import a Nuon for T3k and knowing TxK was coming for the PS4 made it easy to buy one.

I have no problem buying a system for a game.
it's usually the games that swing it for me after all wonderful hardware is pretty useless without some wonderful software

If buying for games currently I'd rather have a Wii U than an Xbox or PS - I really don't love my Vita at all bar TxK even with all the so called free ones they throw my way - perhaps resogun might change this
Yeah no problem here buy a system just for one game, I to bought a Nuon just for Tempest 3k also bought the Vita for Txk but that does have some other cool games on it unlike the Nuon.
Wanted to post this but not dump on one or other of the platform specific threads so resurrecting this seemed best. With all the quarterly results Ars has summarised how the different platforms are doing and how does it look? Good for Sony, bad for everyone else basically.
Xbox One has been growing but the PS4 has been growing even faster, and now accounts for half the console sales of this generation. Dropping Kinect, dropping the price has not helped, Sony are pulling further and further ahead. E.g. the PS4 has outsold the Xbox One by 10-12 million, with 2 million of that happening just this quarter. It would look even worse if you included handhelds into the bottom lines as both Sony and Nintendo would benefit.

Think both the XBO and PS4 are doing better than the previous generation at this point in their lifetimes though?
In the end we have plenty of consoles out there that largely run on similar (PC based) architectures. So guessing its a win/win scenario really. Especially if you own a PC too... It also demonstrates that there is still an appetite for full on console gaming experiences so they will be around for a bit longer and mobile isn't going to completely dominate the gaming world.
Personally more than happy with my Xbox One ... Just has the games I want to play and the fact it now integrates really well into Windows 10 is yet another bonus for me.
