Depends on price mayne. I would love a projector honestly, but for those of us who have tvs it could be an added benefit. But of course, this project isn't coming anytime soon so no need to worry.

Few things:
1. Xbox is a poor man's PC, and has released fewer quality exclusives with each console iteration (i.e. the original Xbox may have actually been worth buying)
2. PS4 will succeed or fail based upon quality releases. If they can line up a few exclusives to sell systems at launch they'll be in good shape.
3. Nintendo will rebound on the Wii U and scratch a profit on it. Their IP backlog is so huge that a 3D Mario, Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Zelda will start moving units (to say nothing of Pikmin, F-Zero, Fire Emblem, Mother, Kid Icarus, Battalion Wars, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Metroid, etc) . Nintendo lost the marketshare game with both the N64 and GameCube, and still made a hefty buck on both. If anything they're buoyed by strong handheld sales. They're stagnant, and they milk franchises, but man do they sell software.

That's good news. I'm also hearing that MS is reworking Win8. Apparently they can listen to customers after all.
