PS4: 399.99

Killzone SF

Driveclub

Knack

Watchdogs

Assassins Creed 4 BF

Battlefield 4

Free to Play:

Blacklight Retribution

Planetside 2

Warframe

Basically I will be able to play all these games at launch on a console that is more powerful than the competition and at a $100 cheaper price point.

[QUOTE="clone01"][QUOTE="granddogg"]why u mad? ChillKrelian-co

I'm not mad. It's a question. Why the f*ck do you care how other people choose to spend their money?

for the same reason you care what system people buy

I agree, nothing really interests me. Will probably pick one up eventually though.

Yeah this is pretty much it.  Dont forget Infamous Second Son is a launch window title as well.  Blacklight and PS2 are launch window titles I think as well, not day one titles.

The main reason I would get one is because I expect there to be more of the games I like. Since FPS games are a joke on console, I would buy a console for JRPGs, third person action games, and the indie exclusives.

Because the vast majority of us don't drag our PC tower down to the man cave and hook it up to the 65" flat screen and 7.1. That is what consoles are for. I use my laptop to pay bills, book and buy things online and check on my fantasy football league.

They said that with the PS3 years ago when it launched but look who is still getting the big budget amazing first party exclusives ala TLoU etc and look who is not? It's a long gen and I honestly do not care who has the most games at launch. Launch is one week....the console sticks around for at least 7 years...look ahead.

At the end of the day its their choice, just like how people buy stuff that appeal to them. A console can have lackluster games but there's absolutely nothing you can do about people making a choice.

Why do you care what people are buying and when? I'm sure you spend money things that I would consider a waste.

Killzone looks great

Second Son is just around the corner

Sony has delivered games from start to finish throughout every generation.

Why not now?

senses_fail_06

except the first 3 years of this gen :lol:

Resistance

Motorstorm

Uncharted

MGS4

Heavenly Sword

All within the first 3 years. And we know that they'll remain exclusive unlike anything on the xbox.

[QUOTE="cainetao11"][QUOTE="legalize82"]enough games cod, killzone, fifa, madden etc all can be played on a cheaper most powerfull system.. why buy a xbox one again ? and hyping ryse ? lol

Why buy a console if power matters?

Because there is a lot more to it than that. But when choosing between similar products, people tend to want to go with what's more powerful.

What do you mean? I though all cows did that with their PCs since most of them claim to have PS3 and PC for all the games. Looks like next gen (at the start at least) will have all the games on X1 and PC combo. I was going to get a PS4 at launch, but i'm debating now just waiting 2 years for their games to catch up (at which point they will be awesome i'm sure) and getting an X1 at launch instead. Games are fun, specs just bore me until the games prove them.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes will be available at launch too.

AND....

Since when have all the launch games been announced??? We still have GamesCom, pre-TGS event just on Sony Japan Studios and TGS.

 

Edit: Not trying to sell Lego, just adding the info that it will be available at launch.

TC, your argument isn't compelling and the digital paper you write on is deemed worthless. I'm going PC, until the PS4 gets a price drop; then I may pick it up.

Because its the console the world deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll pre-order it. Because stores can take it. Because kaz is our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

People are buying the PS4 based on brand loyalty alone, not what games it has to offer. The only ones buying the PS4 at launch are the hardcore fanboys. They are doing themselves a disservice by staying loyal to Sony, Microsoft has the better lineup right now.

xdone has the worst line up of any previous microsoft console. Not a single exclusive FPS avalible at launch. original xbox (halo combat evolved) on launch in 2001 didnt come to pc untill 2003 xbox360 (perfect dark zero) never on pc xdone???? battlefield/call of duty on pc day one. epic failure

Have to agree no point getting so many games at beginning. As long as they come and there are lots coming to both consoles and it will continue for many years to come.

Fair enough, for me that £80 adds variety and cool features in the Kinect sensor and keeps the kids happy. Which certainly helps getting a new console past the misses :)

Completely disagree with both of you. Its not just loyalty. I know a good many people on my XBL friends list who just can't wait to leave Microsoft. Myself included. And further more, Microsoft is known for starting with a strong lineup which then dissipates after they develop an install base. Sonys better games tend to come later. If we really must bare the quality of a console on an irrelevant launch lineup, the PS2 must have been a total piece of shit with no games.

Good points.  Besides its $399 vs $499.  If anyone is exercising brand loyalty, its the MS fans paying the extra $100 for XB1.  

I'm actually getting PS4 for the games.  Infamous is the only must-play exclusive I saw at E3.  Im a fan of the Killzone series, so I will have to check out Shadow Fall.  They are giving me Drive Club with my PS Plus membership.  I loved Evolution Studio's Motorstorm series, so I'm definitely interested in playing Drive Club.  Knack looks better every time I see it. 

TitanFall is the only game that holds any real interest to me for XB1.  Still, its a shooter in a very crowded market.  DICE adding commander mode back to BF4 + 64 players on consoles means I'm not likely to miss it.  BF4 is right now the top shooter to me for the launch window.  Add Killzone, COD, and Destiny to the mix, and I doubt anyone on PS4 will be missing TitanFall.  It probably won't do as well on XB1 as people think when you add a Halo game into that mix.

there are games on the PS4 just like there are games on the X1, same question would be why would anyone want to buy the X1 be it with or without the new policy? All my buddies that owned a 360 are getting a PS4, just too few of them like 00.1% are getting the X1. I might not even get the X1 at all, only Ryse and Halo interest me, but at the moment, X1 doesn't interest me at all, PS4 does. I'm still hearing there are still many Xbox fans getting the PS4, because they feel MS has let them down or they feel X1 has too few games or even the fact the console isn't safe. Just because MS are going to give you all an update, doesn't mean MS or some hacker will put the lock update back on. I can't see MS doing it of course, but you never know.

Lets switch this around. If you really like XBOX and the X1 is releasing with "no games", would you still buy it at launch even though the other console has more launch games? It's watcha like.
