Topic: Are you getting a PS4 at launch?

omgitsbounce · 2013-04-07T17:40:12+01:00

I'd be curious to know everyone's thoughts on this. As of this point I am pretty much sold on the PS4, but there are other factors that may (read as: definitely will) influence when I purchase. Firstly, I just got a brand new PC, and I am loving playing games on that. Not to mention the price savings of most PC games. And then there's my backlog. There was recently a story on PushSquare by Sammy Barker that hit on some really good points of the backlog. Even if you have one console, you probably have a backlog. And if you have multiple consoles? And a PC? Pfft. Me? I've got PS+, and I'm guessing you might as well. Do you know how many free PS+ games I have on backlog? I don't. (Seriously. I've lost count.) But it's easily more than 6 or 7. I even have games I've purchases physical copies of that I haven't played yet! So why would I shell out a few hundred dollars to buy a PS4 when I still have a bunch of great games to play on PS3? Don't get me wrong, I want a PS4. But I have enough content to be entertained for quite some time after Sony's new console comes to market. I think I'll be holding off for at least a year. And then, as a result, my backlog will continue to grow. It's a never-ending cycle I fear. What are your thoughts?

Nop I will seat on the spectator's seat and see how well it does.
I have alot of games I still must caught up with all the games I've missed this gen and have a bunch of games thanks to PS+ so its a NO GO for me right now.

Well, I'm being made redundant shortly, so provided I can find another job soon enough, PS4 is paid for.

Don't really get the allure of Ouya. It's underpowered and does nothing my note 2 can't do with an MHL/OTG cable set/smart dock.

The reasonable thing for me to do would be wait, but, let's face it, I'll probably buy it at launch. My backlog is absolutely ridiculous, and there's no good reason for me to buy a PS4 on day 1, but I always end up caving. I can say this much, though: I will absolutely, definitely not buy it at launch if they fail to deliver on their promises of remote play again. In that scenario I would probably wait years to get the PS4.

I plan to pick one up at launch. I'm ready for a new gaming experience, and the PS4 appears to be taking the hassle out of gaming completely.

Yes, unless Microsoft lunches the Illumiroom for the NextBox, that would make it my first Xbox ever.

Still no, there's nothing at launch that interests me besides Killzone, which isn't a must-own. Even my bro, who'se really excited for it, seems like he may want to wait a year or two before he gets it, so more games are out like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
