NPD, a U.S. market research firm report states that only 29% of “core” gamers are likely to buy a next-gen console at launch.
The survey was completed by 887 qualified U.S. respondents aged 9 and older who currently play games for five or more hours per week on an Xbox 360, PS3, PC, or Mac, according to Game Zone’s report.
Xbox VS PlayStation
NPD surveyed 6,322 , but only 887 of respondents were categorized as a “core” gamer.
Sony unveiled its next-gen console PlayStation 4 at a New York press conference last week. It is set for “holiday 2013” release.
Will you buy PS4 or next-gen Xbox at launch?

Nope sick of this no used games, no backwards compatibility bullshit.
Yeah, I'm not upgrading for a while. I can't play any of my old games that I actually own the discs to on a next gen console, and then they want to charge me for downloading a game I already paid them for later and they won't have the games I like most, no thanks. Sony can jam the PS4 where the sun doesn't shine
