Poll: The PS4

[ssgt splatter]

I'm banking heavily on what is showcased in E3 this year. We've yet to even see the PS4 let alone its price and the Xbone has a similar hold-up with its price being unoffically announced as well as all the other things that people are freaking out over like the always on DRM, which I think by now has been disproved, the backwards compatibility thing, used games and a few others I can't remember right now.

Right now, I'm still leaning Xbone as my next console but I'm giving it a month or two just in case it replays the whole RROD fiasco. But if PS4 hits it out of the park I might jump ship from Microsoft.

Dear Sony

If you have a ton of great games, interesting exclusives, don't try to shove an avalanche of anti-consumerist bullshit down my throat, I give you leave to take my money.

Regards

Gamer

Here are my problems:

1. Thief
2. The Evil Within
3. Destiny

I am VERY cautious about these so-called next-gen consoles, as they seem to represent less about the player and more about the industry.

If Sony allows a buddy of mine to play the game I bought, allows me to play a game off-line, and gives me a fine selection of games to play, then I'll consider purchase. I could care less about pre-owned games, though reducing the inflated cost of new games would definitely make me a fan.

 

[Zythrone]

I'll buy it, but I'll wait until its worth it. Which may be a while.

 

[WanderingFool]

Are you planning on buying a PS4?

Yes. I plan on buying one. The question though is not really "Am I going to buy one?", but "when am I going to buy one?"

As its already been made clear that the PS4 wont have BWC, than I cant just go buy a PS4 and than get that catalog of PS3 games. So Im buying a PS3 first. Dependent on the price of the PS4, as well as my possible financial future, it may be a year of more before I buy the PS4.

I honestly didnt even consider buying the "720" before its debut, afterwords, Im absolutely not considering buying it.

 

[soulfire130]

It depends. if the announcments sound too much like Microsoft then I'm just going to say no and get the PSVita and a new computer.

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Yes I will be getting a PS4...eventually.

I've always been more of a Sony fan than a Microsoft fan. My PS2 served me well, as did my PS3 and I am pretty sure that the PS4 will also deliver.

 

[rob_simple]

I plan to do the same thing I did last gen: wait about two years to see what the new consoles really have to offer --also to let them get the inevitable bugs out of the way-- and, in the intervening period, enjoy picking up stacks of reduced price last-gen titles.

 

[JetFury]

I'm waiting to see if sony follows Microsoft mistakes. If so Im done with consoles. If not, I'll buy in a couple years with no fear of hardware failure, price or lack of games.

 

[Grape_Bullion]

I want to believe... please don't fuck this up Sony. Don't make me a PC only guy...

Undecided/Pending announcements. Good announcements... please....

 

[Silvianoshei]

With PS plus, you basically never have to buy games...so yes. I'm getting one.

 

[hutchy27]

I was planning on getting a ps4 especially after the Xbox One's "great" announcement but currently I'm just considering saving that money and spending it on my PC.

 

[mitchell271]

I put "Yes - changing from Microsoft" because I would like to get one. I can't afford to because I'm a broke-ass university student.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

One thing's for certain, I'm jumping from the good ship Microsoft and swimming as fast as I can.

I'll wait to see what E3 has to offer but it's either PS4 or PC for me next generation. Hell, even the Wii U is still a viable option at this point and I've never been a huge Nintendo fan.

Time will tell, but Microsoft have already dug their grave deep.

 

[IamQ]

Since these options seem to assume it's a launch-day buy, I think I'll just skip voting. I'm probably buying the Ps4, but not on release. I'll probably wait 'till summer or winter, when the launch bugs are fixed, and more games have come out.

 

[Azure Knight-Zeo]

I plan on waiting for more announcements, like it's price and it's used games compatibility. But if it passes that I might get one much later.

 

[MrWunderful]

Bump:

As of E3 on 6/10/2013

-399$ US price tag
-No used game restriction
-unlimited offline play

What do you think?

 

[LetalisK]

Probably not. I own all three of last generation's consoles and I hardly touched them since I enjoy gaming on my PC more and only a few exclusives caught my attention. Not going to make that mistake again.
