Preferred platform? Undecided. Also financially infeasible. I am lured by the familiarity of the Xbox One and Xbox Live and its controller, but Bungie seems to prefer the PS4. But is the PS4's controller good enough that I won't hate it. What about their online service? And what about Halo? So yeah, I have no idea what next gen console I'll be getting at this point.

Destiny, though, is preordered for my 360.

I did read at some point that Activision's deal with Sony will lead to a console bundle, so almost definitely a special edition PS4. That said, I'm not waiting for Destiny to buy one. I wish it was coming to PC but I'm not getting my hopes up, so PS4 is what I have preordered right now.

Well we know that the PS4 is going to get a pre-order bonus but not the Xbox One. So there's that.

Seeing as we are closer to launch with Destiny, I am wondering what the current tally is platform wise for those of us here at DBO. Which platform is going to be your preferred goto with Destiny? (Xbox360/XboxOne/Ps3/Ps4)PC?

Hoping for PC / Steam OS.

Expecting PS4.

I've mainly been a Xbox/Xbox360 gamer for the past decade.... But for a number of reasons, I have been leaning heavily toward going mainly PS4 this next generation.

That said, I want to make sure I will have at least a small handful of Guardians I can potentially 'fireteam' with (...yeah that's a verb now) so hopefully some of you are thinking along those lines as well.

I'm praying for cross-system stats, which I know will never happen because why the fuck would it (even if it is Bungie), but I'll be playing on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 in any case. Destiny being multi-platform sucks butt.

...when things are cheaper, when we know more about the systems, how they handle graphics, how many red rings of death they create, what kind of assortment of games they have...

Right now leaning towards PS4 if I ever upgrade. I think a change of systems, controller feel, etc. might refresh my video game enthusiasm. Make everything feel 'new' and exciting again. And I'm kind of tired of Microsoft's platforms, products, and approach to things lately. I miss the era of the original XBox. Seemed like a smaller division really focused on making a powerful gaming beast, even if they were still part of a huge, successful corporation. But with each 360 Dashboard update, I slowly liked the platform and its focus less and less.

... Or maybe that's what Sony WANTS me to think?

Torn, considering what I know now.

I'll almost certainly get the 360 version because I'm pretty sure I'll have friends who won't upgrade, and I see myself playing the 360 for a while yet. Right now I'm hoping for shared saves and I'm thinking of the 360 as the "everyman" platform. I hope a lot of the community buys a 360 copy so we have a fallback platform we can play together on.

I want the PS4 for the exclusives. I'm anxious to see the Destiny edition.

I want the Xbone for the controller and because I think a lot of people on my friends list will have moved to that. Although there are things I don't like about Halo 4, the hype machine will probably reel me in for Halo 5.

When I get any new console will depend on a lot of factors. Mirror's Edge would be an enticement.

Yep, I've ordered for the 360 and will wait and see how the consoles pan out for the second installment version. (and hopefully be able to xfer character(s))

I think PS4 will win the console battles because they are more customer oriented than m$.

I want Destiny to be the last great game I buy for the 360, not Halo 4.

Seeing as we are closer to launch with Destiny, I am wondering what the current tally is platform wise for those of us here at DBO. Which platform is going to be your preferred goto with Destiny? (Xbox360/XboxOne/Ps3/Ps4)PC?

No doubt we are going to get some sort of Super-Special-Cat-Helmet-Limited-For-Reals-Edition along with a possibility of "Editions" of consoles. I wanted to post before that factor gets added to the table. Gamers are suckers when shiny objects are concerned. (And by gamers I mean Hedge :))

There's a lot in the Xbox library that I haven't played yet, so there's no way I'm ready to move on to the next platform.

Also, your smiley face looks like it has a double chin.

The PS4 costs less than the XBO ($100 is a lot of money to me) and has more launch window exclusives I'm interested in. The only thing on the horizon I'm remotely interested in on Microsoft's end is Halo 5 (Titanfall interested me, too, but that was before it was announced that it'd have no single-player campaign), and even then I'm not as hyped for it as I was for previous Halo games (but that's more of a topic for HBO). I was going to early adopt one system because I had a feeling Destiny would come out during the first half of 2014, plus I wanted to play Watch Dogs and Battlefield 4, and I wanted the next-gen versions of all three of those games, and I wasn't going to wait for a price cut for either system while settling for the current-gen versions of those games. I made up my mind back in June that I was going PlayStation first this go-around. It was either buy the $500 system that won't have an exclusive I'm interested in for another year, or buy the $400 system that has three exclusives I'm interested in right at launch. I'll still pick up an XBO at some point down the line, but not any sooner than Halo 5's release.

Microsoft Game Studios are so out of touch it would be funny if it weren't frightening. They screwed up their reveal SO BAD that their leader had to quit and they backtracked on half the stuff they wanted to do.

Think about that.

Supposedly top men leaving and major feature revisions, mere months away from their most major product launch in nearly a decade. That should worry anyone.

I'm not saying Sony are paragons of virtue, but they at least seem to be trying harder than MS. Plus their hardware expertise is exemplary: out of all the things ever said about Sony products 'unreliable' is not one I've heard often. I've had 3 different 360s and paid for two of them: with that outlay of cash I could have easily have bought a PS4 and a few extra games.

Not that it matters much, but the PS4 looks to be the more powerful machine and will have the 'flagship' version of Destiny (baring even more expensive PC versions).

Kinect 2.0 doesn't interest me because I don't have the space: kinect 1.0 showed me that. I'm not about to invest more money in a mandatory device that I expect to little to no use out of. MS again, seems to think everyone has massive amounts of living room space.

Anyone remember the MS rhetoric around the 360 launch? About putting YOU at the centre of an entertainment experience? Oh, how times have changed. Now they want the ONE to be the centre of your living room.

Besides, I play at my desk next to my PC anyway >_<

I'll definitely get the 360 version to play with my IRL friends who won't be upgrading.

I'm very interested in whether there is a special edition, Destiny-Themed PS4. If so, I would probably get that just to have for collector's sake and to experience Destiny's next-gen graphics.

I've never owned a PS of any type so it will be a new experience for me.

I agree with what some others have said, if anyone can pull off true multi-platform play, Bungie can. However, I can't imagine MS liking or allowing it. So hopefully our characters and stats will be associated with our Bungie.net accounts and there will be a way to upload/download/refresh-from-server or characters.

. . .when it intends to bring us together.

Posts without a definite answer have been discarded from this quote list. My intent has been to get the console which most my fellow DBO Posters have, and it has been like that since the community nature of Destiny was revealed. If I am to get anything - funds have to start being saved now; and while this might not be the most scientific list it gives the gist I was expecting. What this list shows is exactly what my concern has been... how do we play together as a forum? It seems more and more that answer is up to Bungie (and friends) to figure out. I recommend after Bungie has revealed a bit more of the bells and whistles - that DBO has a more controlled way of finding the "numbers of platforms" in our ranks.

GrizzNKev I wish it was coming to PC but I'm not getting my hopes up, so PS4 is what I have preordered right now.

Beorn I have an Xbox (Day) One preordered at my local Microsoft Store, so I'll definitely be picking up Destiny for it. I also plan to get a Destiny PS4 whenever those roll out, which is the reason for me not having preordered a PS4 just yet.

I will probably play the Beta via PS3 simply because I can't afford a PS4 until the holidays.

SMASH THE SYSTEM

Bungie has me leaning toward the PS4 but who knows how the stage is going to look next year? Destiny is the only game I'm really looking forward to anyway so I'm in no rush.
