So I haven't gotten a new gen console yet, although I was seriously debating getting a PS4 with my tax refund. I decided against for a buncha reasons. It seems there's still lotsa games being put out on the 360, which is the console from that gen I own. There isn't a ton out yet for the PS4 yet, and everything's expensive on it, right now. The system, controllers, the games, are all top dollar. And I've heard there's been problems with the servers. Which is typical for a new console, and I know they'll fix them.
It just seems time's on our side for those who haven't bought a new console yet. The price could drop $100 in a year or so, and at that point they'll work out some of the bugs, and there'll be plenty of kickass titles released, and I could even find used copies of these for even cheaper.
So why get now?
I'm just using this time to catch up on a lot of the games I missed last gen, since the prices have gone way down, and I definately didn't play everything I wanted to.
Plus, in terms of graphics, they're never thaaat big of a step up from the previous gen when they first start out. If u look at 360 games or PS3 games released in 2006 or 2007, they don't look that much better then PS2. And u compare them to games of 2012, 2013, the difference is huuge. Look at Halo 3 compared to Halo 4.
