Three reasons why you should avoid purchasing next generation consoles this year

GameNGuide: "Here we have put forth three reasons why it might just be a good idea to not buy any of the next generation consoles right out of the gate when they release later this year, and wait until both of their powers are completely understood and scrutinized."

Of course it's not the smartest thing to buy one this year, especially if you have a huge this-gen backlog anyway, but being one of the first is just so tempting. Also, I'm kind of bored by most recent games, a lot of games just feel like I've played them before.

Nitrowolf24316d ago

one thing I did like about buying the PS3 and Wii the first year was that they had much more in terms of hardware feature than later versions. The PS3 Phat had 2 additional USB, Card/Flash Readers, and thew ability to play PS2 games, whereas with the early Wii Models had the gamecube controller slot and ability to play them.

I don't really see that happening this time around, since neither have backward support nor do they have additional feature rooted to the hardware that seem likely to be cut later.

Let me ask the author, are you buying a next gen console this year?

No? Good, then i wont have the unfortunate opportunity to play multiplayer with you.

Yes? Then STFU!!!

thekhurg4316d ago

No thanks. I'm buying this year, day one PS4 actually.

New tech is fun so for a video gamer day one is a must

Hogwash

Wow, first time I have ever used that word.

Next Gen consoles are like Star Wars and beer. Same rule applies.

ALWAYS MORE

So what are you telling me to do? Go buy drugs, huh, is that what you want?

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts16h ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos10h ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

victorMaje7h ago

Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.

Alos8817h ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX17h ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy8516h ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

KyRo14m ago

Extra has been getting worse and worse each month. I've had it since it's launch and it's been great to play some games I may not have played but the selection has been declining rapidly for a while now. My sub runs out in August and I'll be going back to essential. They actually add games to that which are more appealing.

jznrpg17h ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX17h ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay14h ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg13h ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv7217h ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer17h ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.
