    Hi Guys,

    Just wondering what the thoughts are on the 2 next gen consoles, who's getting what?
    I enjoy this league so much that it will likely have a factor on which console I buy first (will hopefully have both eventually).

    Are we facing a split league or will we all end up with shiney Xbox One's in time for Madden 26 / Madden 15?

    Personally I have no idea, I'd lean towards getting the new Xbox at some point but it will likely not be until mid next year before I get it.

    If we have enough numbers we will hopefully have a league on both, but hopefully we see most players going for the same console so that we can keep the numbers in the league we currently have rather than just 2 leagues with 10 players in each.

    I definitely won't be buying one til next year at the earliest, however for me it's very much league driven. If here and the PFL still have quality 360 leagues then ill delay getting the new console

    Same with myself, I won't be going next gen until probably spring next year.

    I'll be getting an Xbox One at Christmas.

    I will keep my 360 involved for Madden 25 and GTA, but if I'm being honest, I'm debating whether or not to return for season 2 in this league as I'm in 2 leagues over on MaddenPFL and this league is moving a bit slowly for my liking. Nothing decided yet though.

    I think I might go PS4, although it definitely wouldn't be until Madden 15. I've seen lots of comparison videos from neutral sources where the PS4 looks to be the better console and a couple of NBA2K14 devs said they would rather the PS4 too according to Pasta Padre, which seems to be telling.

    Of course I only really play Madden online competitively, the odd bit of GTA and COD and then FIFA with the lads so like Nelbert I'll be influenced by what others here go for.

    Well all going well ill be getting one of the consoles for Christmas off the boss of the house so if you could all decide by then I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    I hope to have both by next August.... huge fan of disposalable income. But I was curious as to what everyone was thinking.

    When all the hype was going on about both consoles I was of the opinion that the xbox one was the more all round console with the next kinect and all that but when I thought about it, I have no need for that side of the console, I don't use the xbox as a media device really, I rarely use it in my main sitting room, I use it in my "game room" and would be better suited to which ever is the better gaming console, madden and cod would be my main games... So I'll also probably do what the majority do here and on the PFL (Berty please get me into the damn Pro!!!!)

    I will probably go with the with xbox one but as ive just invested in a new 48'' Tele, when it is very much up in the air, it'll be next year at some stage.

    48" tv? Very precise! Thought it was 46 then 50 was the next jump..... What you get? The man cave is yearning for a new tv.

    If you haven't got one pre-ordered since a while back I wouldn't get your hopes up about getting one for Christmas mate. A lot of people seem to be saying it will be extremely difficult. Whether that's true or not, I've no idea.

    If you are picking one I'd go with Xbox One. I'd imagine the majority here will go for that.

    Its a very slow process Padraic but it will happen !

    Dunno which way I will go yet but most likely heavily influenced by what the maddenpfl community go with. Any new console purchase will probably coincide with a Madden release so next August possibly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,749 ✭✭✭Raoul


    The same as everyone else. Whichever is the most popular with the Madden leagues. Also it probably won't be until late next year anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,699 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    Anybody made their mind up on what they're going to do?

    I'm 99% getting a PS4, just have to wait until they're restocked, so it'll probably be at the start of the new year.

    Think preorders for PS4 are 3-1 over Xbox right now, so likelihood is that a lot of the people you game with now are going to switch over.

    For me, I currently have new FIFA, Madden and GTA V to tie me over well into next year, as I don't see a big enough difference yet in those games on next gen to justify getting an early release.

    Think you'll find a lot of people won't make their mind up until summer next year, right before the likes of Madden 15 etc come out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Won't be doing anything until next summer

    Same as most everyone here


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    I'll be on Xbox One, getting one at Xmas.

    I've heard the next gen Madden 25 is streets ahead of current gen, by the way, but I won't be playing Madden on it until M15.

    I'm going to go with the Xbox One too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,553 ✭✭✭madalig12


    X1 for me too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭giffney1991


    Ye same


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 476 ✭✭linebacker52


    Xbox 1 for me really sorry i didn't pre order now


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,186 ✭✭✭PADRAIC.M


    What is the deciding factor for you guys? I'm still undecided


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,553 ✭✭✭madalig12


    The playstation controller, I've never understood it.

    The games for me.

    Never liked the PS exclusives. Killzone, Uncharted etc just don't interest me. Whereas I need Forza, Titanfall looks outrageous and then Halo down the line.

    Also, for those who didn't pre-order, neither did I until last week I found the Italian Amazon still had Day One editions available, the ones that include Forza for free. In fact, I think they still do so check www.amazon.it, google chrome should translate it for you and you could have it by the first week in December.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,749 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Can anyone remember from the xbox 360 or ps3, or have a guess at how much the price will fall by Autumn? Or will it?
