[DaBoss]

$400 for the best SKU is as high as I am willing to go.

Yup, this.

 

[JaCy]

$499 is the max for me.

 

[grimshawish]

Anything above £300 is beginning to push its luck. Am afraid :/

 

[SykoTech]

PS4/720: $350-400

Wii U (counts right?): $250-300

Could change if a must-have game hits. Hasn't happened with the Wii U though, and I doubt it will with the PS4/720 launches either.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

$400 would be the sweet spot, anything more and I won't have enough for games

 

[Jeels]

For me, it would be $400 for PS4/360. I'd accept $500 if there were a launch title I absolutely needed.

For Wii U probably $200, or $250 if there were ever a game I really wanted.

 

[SolarPowered]

Xbox 720, PS4=$399
Wii U=$249

Only "premium" and "deluxe" SKUs here.

 

[nextgeneration]

Depends on how powerful the systems are. Given what we know so far of Sony's and Microsoft's systems, I'd say my max is 449.

 

[thehillissilent]

I will be waiting until either system gets to $300, which will be a couple of years. I never buy new systems at launch. I usually wait 2 years so stuff can get worked out.

 

[Soriku]

$399 for PS4 with PS3 BC.

Pretty much have to save up this summer.

 

[The Interrobanger]

$400 MAX. Probably not gonna buy anything day 1 if it's over $300 though.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

I'm hoping $399 for a PS4, but I'd spend as much as $450, if the launch lineup is good.

And if games go up to $70, thats bullshit.

 

[hammster]

£300 if I'm super impressed.
£250 otherwise.

I'm a student...

 

[BeekleMatter]

Price floor *

 

[kadotsu]

There is (right now) no way I'm buying any next gen console until the HW has at least seen one major redesign. I don't want a loud, energy inefficient and probably broken system just to play some launch games.

I'll get a PS4 slim at €300 and a Nextbox slim at €250.

 

[WanderingWind]

$799

Spoiler

Just to throw the data collection curve off a little

 

[mcfrank]

No more than 600, no less than 300. If they try to pull some subsidized or less than super powerful nonsense I dont think I will be on board.

 

[Sylver]

499€.

 

[Manmademan]

infinite

 

[Labadal]

I won't pay more than €250 for either system. This means that I'll most likely have to wait a few years before getting into next gen consoles.

 

[Flame Lord]

Probably $500.

 

[smr00]

I was ready to pay upwards to $400 each but since i decided to go the route of PC and 1 gaming console (aside from wii-u) this generation i will pay $450-500 for the PS4.

$250 down the road for a XBOX 3 if they come out with any console only exclusives that interest me but i have a feeling their console exclusives will be shifting to PC/XBOX in the new generation. If they really want this full W8 type integration between tablets/pcs/console etc.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

500ish? not planning on jumping in till after year 1 or 2... and hell i can splurge on a 700$ ipad and can totally buy a friggin ps4 for less.

 

[TheGreyHulk]

$500 total
$399 system + $60 game + my local tax is $500.23 which is what i'm willing to pay for whoever brings the most powerful console to market this fall

 

[plainr_]

Absolute max? $500. I have a gut feeling it won't be that high so I'm good.

 

[UberTag]

My ceiling for Day 1 purchase = $349
My ceiling for Months 1-3 = $399

I've got too big of a backlog to need to jump on board early with a platform with a minimal software library.

 

[Jake Tower]

300

 

[lethial]

No more than $500 for the console alone.

 

[samus4ever]

399 for the 720.

 

[Scythian Empire]

£350

 

[Alucrid]

Good launch line up.

 

[TheMan]

200 would be a stretch for me as I'm a student. i fully realize there is no way in satan's blessed hell that would ever happen, so i'll be sticking to my 360 for a while (even though it's slowly but surely starting to break down)

 

[SkyOdin]

$400 absolute max, but I would much rather go for $300. Even then, I will probably wait for some good games to come out.

 

[RibMan]

$500. Anything over that and I'm not buying it.

 

[The Albatross]

$400 - $500, depending on what you get. $400 would be the sweet spot. $450 I'd easily do. $500... MAYBE... if it were for like the super SKU that provided real value. But, $400 is a day 1 sale for me basically. $450 I'd spring. $500 I'd probably wait on it.

That generally holds true for a lot of consumer products for me, where if it hits $500 I say, "Do I really need this? Let's wait 6 months and see if I really need this."

 

[Despera]

around 450

 

[herod]

£179

 

[shwimpy]

$499 for the PS4.

 

[gAg CruSh3r]

PS4- 499$
Xbox(3)- 399$

I will wait until...
PS4- 250$ (most)
Xbox- Most likely at launch!

 

[cyborg009]

$400-450

Only the finest quality.

 

[FairXchange]

5 hunna for the PS4.

I know MS is gonna come out swinging and have compelling reasons to buy, but I'm hoping to stay with 1 console for the first few years.

 

[SmokyDave]

I'll buy whichever comes first for whatever they're asking. The second one will need to be under £400 ideally.

 

[khaaan]

Xbox/Playsation: $299
WiiU: $199

 

[Loxley]

$399.99 max.

And that's only if either console gas the games you back it up.

 

[Clott]

600

There sure is a lot of low ball offers in here for these premium products.

 

[muu]

Show me a genuine jump in graphics, genuine innovation in how I play online, etc and I'm willing to pony up whatever the cost up to $999. It's just a game console, but it's not like any of us haven't ever shit out $2000 on DIY PCs.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Depends on the launch line up. $400 if there is a game or two that impresses me, but they can sway me into paying $500 if the launch games really blow me away.

 

[SilentSoldier]

$300 is my limit. I just can't see myself spending anymore on a console, regardless of any compelling games.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

I'd love to have 3 of the premium versions, if available, and I'd be happy with $399 each.

 

[Xater]

450€ best SKU
