Simple enough question. All the relevant information is out there now, what will you choose?
Xbox means buying a new Xbox One.
PS4 means buying a new PS4.
PC means buying a new PC for gaming.
If you're including a Wii U or buying one, put it in the comments.

I selected PS4, because it's focused on gaming, the PS+ membership seems reasonable, and if I have the PS4, I'd be a lot less likely to upgrade my PC.

I picked PS4 + PC.
I'm debating on the Wii U... but only because of Zelda. It really comes down to this question...
"Do I want to play Zelda bad enough to spend that much money on it?"
When I can finally answer that question I'll know if I will buy a Wii U or not.
PC only for me..
If for some silly reason i was forced to have a console as well it would be the PS4 hands down.
For me it was a toss-up between PC and Muffins, so to stay on-topic I went with PC.
I own an Xbox 360 that I played for about 2 hours and then shoved it in a closet. I just don't care for consoles.
Muffins is never a bad choice.

Might switch to Linux when it takes off as a gaming platform. Which it will.
Android - basicly a flavour of nix
Ios - ditto
Ps4 - ditto
Google tv - ditto
Steam box - ditto.
Microsoft have shot themselves in the foot with xbone and win 8. They are the new IBM, giant already Indecline.
Various favours of Unix will be the future of gaming. Likes of valve, Apple and Google will get behind open gl, microsofts monopoly through direct x will die.

The moment I got my first job, my focus was always buying all playforms so that I can play every game I wanted to. Over the years, console titles I wanted to play became few and far between, and I played more PC titles. Looking forward to the next gen consoles, this is the first time I've felt absolutely no connection to any of the new systems. The Wii U just doesn't seem particularly fun for me, and out of all the consoles I've owned, my Wii was the most prone to hardware failure.
The Xbox One is the pinnacle of transferring what constitutes as media DRM to console hardware. I think they've lost touch with their core base here.
The PS4 is the console I'll pick up. They were smart to undercut Microsoft, but in all honesty, they could have matched the price or exceeded it, and I still would have felt it was the right deal to make. I'm not a huge Sony Fan, but I use my PS3 much more than my xbox 360, and I'll be happy to cancel XBOX Live for good.
Microsoft has just made one misstep too many lately.
I'm going for Xbox One as its a more versatile unit than the PS4 and I feel Microsoft for the first time are actually innovating and thinking of the future. The Xbox One is aimed at the whole family use not just the gamers which for me is where they'll beat Sony. I used to avoid Microsoft products and dual booted Linux for years, but I now use Windows 8 and Windows 8 Phone and soon an Xbox One and maybe a Surface but certainly a Windows 8 Tablet as well. I then can then have all my devices linked and speaking the same language and this is what Microsoft are pushing forward with and no other company can offer such an interconnected and simple set of systems.
The radical direction Windows 8 is taking computer devices has caught the competition cold and they are now having to play catch up with Apple, Google and Blackberry redesigning their OS's to be more friendly to touch and mobile devices. Once people get used to metro on mobile devices they'll wonder what all the negative fuss was about and with Xbox One they'll get to use it in there living rooms. But the real beauty is that finally after 20 years we finally have proper competition in the OS market its just now for Apple and Google to step up. Xbox One could be the first all purpose computer device at the heart of family life and that for me is a breakthrough and as its basically a computer its should be good for gamers as the days of hardware specific games will become a thing of the past. You just choose what service you access your games from. PS Network, Steam, Xbox Live and maybe more.
This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up the new ultra high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.
You're not going to access games from the PS Network or Steam on the XBox One.

You think Google and Apple are shitting themselves over win 8 and having to radically redesign their OSs to keep up. Win 8 is a huge flop, its sold less than Vista, which Is why Microsoft are radically redesigning their OS. As for winphones - lol.
Bloody hell do you work for Microsoft!
It might be that stuff, what do you call it, satire.

pc now, but i might consider a ps4.
the thing i hate about consoles is how they seem to focus on everything except gaming, skypes and social media and blah blah blah, i don't want to facebook i want to play games!
i'll most likely stick to the pc as i feel like i have more freedom to do what i want.
Yep.
I might actually sell my PC and Xbox 360 and pre-order a PS4 and buy a used PS3.
I mainly play PC now...but in need of an upgrade. I picked PS4/Xbox One/PC - only because I don't know which one to go with (PS4 or Xbox One)
Both have drawbacks for me:
PS4 - Now costs money to play multiplayer online, I hate..HATE their controllers, not a fan of japanese style RPG's and games.
XBOX One - Used games unknown, 24 hour DRM check, Price is $100 more
So I don't know what to do, I can afford to get both but I'm asking myself why? When I could put that portion into upgrading my PC. So still on the fence, though leaning toward the PS4 (and this coming from an Xbox fan who only uses his current PS3 as a blue-ray player)

That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
If console fans werent looking for depth and complexity than how do you explain the popularity of Metal Gear Solid Series and upcoming titles like Beyond: Two Souls and the fact that most of the games that are coming out have Open World gameplay even MGS5. And than you got Destiny and The Division. Your mistaking PS4/Xbox fans for Nintendo fans. Not to mention how many fans of the Ico series has been wanting something to hear about The Last Guardian.
