How You Should Really Go About Buying Your Next Console

Mat at AYMG writes: "“Which console should I buy?” is a question that people ask me nearly every single day. My usual response is to try and explain that they should buy the console they really want, putting aside the technical specs of the consoles themselves. For a lot of people I’ve seen, that’s quite a difficult thing, considering a lot of media outlets and the console brands themselves, bang on and on about how powerful the systems are compared to the other."

this question has already been beaten to death and its obvious answers

exclusives and friends are the most important in my opinion.

MazzingerZ4106d ago

Don't care about friends as they don't pay my games. I'm a gamer and so are my friends hence we meet online anyway on the best console to game on this gen.

Clown_Syndr0me4106d ago

Get them all.
if you can't afford them right away, then it depends..more of a single-player gamer then look at exclusives. Multi player type of guy? What are your friends getting? Easy.

CorndogBurglar4106d ago

How about, let people decide what consoles they want, for whatever reason they want?

I know. I'm being crazy.

bloodybutcher4106d ago

Yes, you are. And a blind fanboy. How zre you a fanboy? I don't know, but this is n4g, if you're not getting called out as a fanboy, then there's something wrong.

Retroman4106d ago

personally : if said console offer games im interested in the purchase is made.

enough said .

DragonKnight4106d ago

Unlike what some people tell you, I would never suggest basing your console purchases off of pack mentality. There is only one thing you need to do to decide what's best for you. Research. Look into what games have been confirmed, look up those games and see if you'd enjoy them, buy the console that has the most games you feel you enjoy. What your friends get is the same kind of mentality presented in the age old question "if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?"

Yeah, it's nice that most of my friends are also big fans of PlayStation, but I'd go where the games I like are, anyway. More often than not, that tends to be PlayStation, though Nintendo's handhelds are also worthy.

Off topic, I think I'm finally gonna grab a 360 on my way over to my girl's house in a bit. Then I can finally get back to Lost Odyssey.

Edit: That trip turned out to be an adventure. On the way over, got rear-ended by a fairly bad driver. I didn't know it at the time, but there was no real damage. Anyway, after the accident, I move my car out of the street, and the person who hit me just drives off. I have my girl call the cops while I tail em, but then we're told to back off. Right after, the cops call back and say they've pulled the person over- my lady friend gave them the tag number- and we head over to the scene. Since it's just some scraped paint, I don't bother with an accident report, though the cops ask me like four times if I'm sure I want to do that.

THEN I head over to GameStop and get my R2-D2 360. Wound up so late I didn't even play, but I'll put some time into Lost Odyssey when I get off work tonight.

DragonKnight4106d ago

Lost Odyssey is the only game I'd ever want a 360 for.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio26d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing26d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit26d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing26d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
