When everything around me is confirming my preconceived notions, I have to wonder whether what I believe is actually the truth or if I'm thinking exactly like the communities I associate with (as a result of choosing to spend time being active in them) and fulfilling some sort of confirmation bias. In this case though, I'd have to say that as of yet these "next-gen" consoles have done absolutely nothing to warrant their purchase by anyone - except for them collectively agreeing to hold a few games hostage until we do. When an industry becomes that insular and hostile towards better ways of doing business (and listening to their customers), they are in for a long, slow decline to the bottom. I'll stick with my custom built PC from three years ago (that is still more powerful than the Xbox One or the PS4 will be) while the supposed "giants" of the industry figure out how to grow up.
