I know I'm in the minority, but I think it's worth waiting right now. Both consoles have their advantages and disadvantages.

Intentions4577d ago

I'm going wait, so most of the launch issues are over. Prob be like next year when I get my next-gen consoles. By the time then the library of games would be a lot better too. Also that's when console bundles are probably going to come out :D

Langkasuka4577d ago

PS4 comes out here in mid-December, so most of the launch issues would have been fixed or eased out. But I'm going to wait, maybe in April or June when Infamous SS comes out, and I've saved extra for a 1 TB HDD upgrade :)

Saigon4577d ago

Good point. I did buy it early and waited a while to hook it up. I am though waiting for a better 2TB (the ones available now are crap) to come out or even a 3TB.

GhostTurtle4577d ago

Totally. The lack of backwards compatibility kills it for me.

I am grown up you moron. Ive just got back from my 4th deployment from Afghanistan. WTF do you do? Simple replying to the guys statement about waiting to buy a new console you simple minded ****.

PSX044577d ago

i will buy ps4 .... cheaper, more powerful, smaller, best controller ... what i need more than that

GutZ314577d ago

I have a PS4, and a friend of mine has an Xbox One. I can safely say that both are not working as us gamers intend them to be used.
Waiting on some updates to firmware to fix bugs, and add speed, functionality to the respective systems is important for users to be happy.
Waiting is the best option at this point, let us early adopters be the guinea pigs so you don't have to.

JsonHenry4577d ago

I bought a PS4. It is basically playing CoD and Contrast because I already BF4, AC4, and the other multiplats on my PC. I'm not interested in KZ or Knack. Although I might rent KZ since it is supposed to be a pretty to look at game.

I'm just waiting all the games to come in. But at least I know when they do I will own the system.

AKS4577d ago

@pat_11_5

I think the dearth of available systems will cause me to wait regardless.

pat_11_54577d ago

I have a feeling they'll be more in stock before Christmas.

Huh? I don't know what you're talking about. Consoles will be restocked all the time? I doubt there are going to be crazy shortages this time.

mshh44577d ago

I am already buy the most powerful console in the world ps4

Einhert4577d ago

shame it can only manage 1080p and 60fps in select games in select modes.

If that is the "power" of next gen consoles colour me disappointed.

Pintheshadows4577d ago (Edited 4577d ago )

I have a PS4 preordered for the 29th so i'm just going to go for it. I have the money. I want a new piece of hardware. I want to play KZSF (i'm a fan of the series), and after seeing it at MCM London I want some next gen AC.

I'm pretty sure if you had an X1 preordered then you are sitting at home now with DR3 and Forza 5 enjoying your purchase.

Some may be able to wait. They are a minority I feel.

I'll get an X1 when Quantum Break releases. Gotta love Remedy.

CBaoth4577d ago

don't fret mate. I've purchased the last 4 gaming devices day 1 from Nintendo and Sony (The 3DS, Vita, WiiU, and PS4). Each one works great! Just purchase the extended warranty if it eases your mind.

Pintheshadows4577d ago

Yeah, i've never had a bad experience day one. It was more the games next year that I REALLY want to play so I contemplated waiting.

This really needs a re-release. Enjoyed all 4 games with 3 probably being my second favourite.

ocelot07295d ago

It once was. But the recent DR1 remake took that spot.

Christopher294d ago

It's 2013! I'm on my Xbox One and streaming from my laptop to my chromecast! Life couldn't be better!

TheColbertinator294d ago

Now I can stream my Xbox One from my TV to my phone to my tablet while I'm inside my refrigerator.

monkey602295d ago

It's not even the best one 🤨

ocelot07295d ago

Surprised this didn't get a Series S/X boost. I believe it's still locked to 30fps. Then again so is the PC version until you go into the .ini file and change it.

MetroidFREAK21295d ago

Genuinely surprised this still hasn't been ported

15 Last-Gen Games That Still Compete with Current-Gen Graphics

GB: "Say what you will about the state of the industry, but even as games evolve, their graphics remain a key aspect. Even some of the biggest flops this year sport some gorgeous visuals, as publishers and developers push the boundaries of what’s possible, pouring years of time and money into their work."

Quantum Break and Ryse are two that I was really surprised did not get an FPS boost option when played on the Series X|S. when i started playing both on the XBO, I thought they are both good, but after playing them also on my steam deck (in 60fps) I just cant go back and play the base games on XB. They really benefit from that faster frame rate.

Driveclub is another i wished had a HFR mode on PS5.

MatrixxGT581d ago

Most games this gen are the exact same except now we get faster loading through SSD and a res and fps bump. Graphically not much has improved, hell most last gen games are being relabeled and resold as “remastered” with the aforementioned updates.
I haven’t seen or played anything on either platform that couldn’t be run on last gen. Guess the law of diminishing returns is really showing itself these days.

127maXimus581d ago

Most games from 20 years ago are basically the same as today, with resolution and fps upgrades. The AI is still just as braindead as it always has been, worlds are full of static, boring characters that do the same thing over and over.

Demetrius581d ago

Smh another reason why graphics haven't improved that much is because most devs too caught up on cross gen. Ps4 was/still a dope console but time has moved on we're halfway close to a ps6 reveal and devs still will be making games on last gen in 2025. Then theres Microsoft purposely got the Xbox series s that causes more devs to try to pull strings as much as they can smh. It's a mixed bag of stuff, the only ones I see pushing hardware is sonys studios and even some indie games look better
