@Double-Ego @Polygon_Pariah The problem isn't the hardware, apparently, though I would rather have surgery on my genitals than trust Microsoft early on with a launch.
@TohouAsura @H4num4n I hate Gears and Halo, but I bought a 360 a month after launch. The 360 was THE current gen console to play just about anything on until about 2008 when the PS3 ports were up to snuff. Not including the Bethesda shitstorms.
There are just about ten big reasons a more powerful console has me begging to fork out money. Including the extreme lag between generations (at one point this year I considered getting a Wii U it is so bad), the need for a beefier console so only AAA titles that spend as much time optimizing games for older consoles as they do making them.
Add in greater AI, console functionality such as PS4 being able to go back to where you were right before you turned off the console in a game. Then throw in the fact that a lot of new IP's have simply been waiting for a new generation of consoles (think developers like Respawn, Bungie and countless others).
If you need more reasons I am here to urge you forward.
