Will you buy the PS4 straight away?

[ZINC]

I don't plan on buying it straight away, I only just got my PS3!

 

[haze]

I wouldn't plan on buying it straight away, no. I wouldn't see the point and anyway, when a new product comes out I like to give it awhile and see other peoples reactions too it or maybe have a play on a friends system, just to make sure I make the right purchase.

 

[LU Flux]

I will buy the PS4 and the new Xbox as soon as they come out

 

[Demon_skeith]

No, it will most likely cost a lot and won't have any games I want. I will most likely be sticking with the PS3 for a few years like I did with the PS2.

 

[Master]

It would probably cost a lot of money so I have to say no to that.
Might as well wait a while for a price drop.

 

[themanikin]

if the rumors about no used games are true i will not buy a ps4. used games are a huge part of the market

 

[Irreligious]

No, I won't buy it straight away. I will be smart enough to wait for the price to drop. Usually when a new Playstation is released the prices are way too high for my pocket. I don't mind if I have to wait a couple of month to buy it. Also, I want to read some reviews and watch some gameplays to see if it's worth to buy.

 

[themanikin]

well the ps3 is caable of almost lifelike graphics so the ps4 would have to have something amazing to get me to even consider it

 

[yurithebest1]

Nope i won't buy a Playstation 4 right away because that is a part of my strategy, in fact i usually have to wait for a year or two till i read a lot of reviews about it and see what people are saying about it, i also have to wait in order to get it with a reduced price because i don't wanna buy it and regret buying it.

 

[0ver1oad]

There's not much point. It'll eventually drop in price, and when that happens there will also be more games worth playing. I don't even have a PS3, and didn't get a PS2 until the end of it's lifespan.

 

[dexterlablab1]

Knowing myself, I probably will. Even though I know the price will drop down on the new systems at some point.

The important thing for early adopters of any system to understand though is that you buy a system with these key elements in mind:

- you know the game library isn't very big yet
- you know the price will go down eventually

Most of the buyers seem to not understand that is the nature of all new tech.

I think the PS3 still has a lot left in it, at least for about a couple of more years. Sony probably wouldn't release a new system before 2014 anyway. And even after they do, the PS4 (or whatever they are going to call it) will end up costing more than a nuke, and I will wait at least an year or more before buying it, if decide to buy it.

As far as rumors go, pretty much everybody - including me - is unhappy about how PS4 is not backward compatible and how it will not allow used games to run. So I guess majority of the people will wait for some time for games to come out for the new console.

 

[razelia]

For the record, I never buy consoles (and handhelds, for that matter) on their release. I actually buy them around a couple of years after, when the price has gone down. If I'm patient enough, I actually wait for a "slim" version. I guess I'll be doing the same for the PS4.

 

[WajeehBJ]

No doubt I am waiting anxiously for it to arrive in the market, I however don't plan to buy it right away. According to the strategy I always use before buying any expensive stuff, I always wait to let people review the product I'm interested in, and only after knowing the pros and cons of the product, I go for it. Apart from that, I don't really see any worth in buying it right away unless of course a really really good game is released exclusively for playstation 4. Even under such circumstances it is highly unlikey for me to buy the product at the soonest. Though, I have already started saving money, just in case I plan to buy it.

 

[Hidden308]

I won't, no. If it's better than the next-gen Xbox, then I will buy it.

 

[Hidden308]

I might then again might not. It really determines I might just wait for reviews and then choose once the next-gen of consoles are released.

 

[Hidden308]

I totally agree with that. It really just depends on what next-gen console offers the most and best.

 

[Casper001]

I usually don't buy the consoles directly as they come out, If I do, I pre-order them. I think I'm going to buy it within the week of it's release.

Why is that? Not going to wait on the next-gen Xbox?

I personally don't find XBOX To appealing to me. I brought a 360 Slim off a friend for £70 And I just don't find it appealing. I still have my PS3 On 24/7. I will buy the PS4 Within say a month of release, so everyone who wants it, has it.

I might buy the Next-Gen XBOX A few months after it's out. But really, for me PS3 Is much more appealing.
