For those of you who have purchased a (now current gen) console, what GAMES did you buy it for? Are they out yet?

PS4 : Killzone and PS+ so technically resogun and contrast as well.


XB1 : Forza, Dead rising, CoD Ghosts


Most of the big games coming out have PC versions, so will wait for something exclusive to come out before I get anything else.

I've only got Fifa and Dead Rising so far, looks as though we've got to wait until March for some truly great games. I still think that the current range on XBox One is better than that on the PS4, but PS+ is essential. Hopefully MS bring some equivalent scheme to the Xbox, Games For Gold is still quite poor in comparison.

Forza 5 - a graphical update of what's already available on xbox 360.

Fifa - out on previous gen consoles with a minor graphical update.

Dead Rising - is it different enough to DR 2 to justify a console purchase this early?

Killzone - doesn't appeal to me, but it is pretty enough I guess.

XB1 - as above really. COD ghosts is on ps3/360.

The point is, anyone wanting a console NOW, is there really enough new game content to justify paying full price for the consoles, when everyone knows there will be a price drop within 6 months and the games everyone has bought consoles for arent even out yet!

And as we saw from fanboys back in the last gens (even with ps2 as well, and likely before), if you buy a console for games that aren't out yet, you will more often than not end up disappointed. MGS 4 didn't live up to the hype for many, Duke Nukem forever was !!!!!, The Last Guardian never came out. FF13 was pants. I could go on, but if you REALLY like the look of a game, get the console when that game is available. It will save you money, and disappointment.

Hell, I've seen forum threads where someone bought a console on launch, the game they bought it for didnt live up to the hype and they sold it a year or so later having never purchased a game, and at a huge loss. Don't be that guy.

The 360 had terrible reliability problems with overheating and the subsequent failure of lead solder points. There's a fairly large CPU cooling fan in the XB1 to avoid such problems this time around.

I didn't think it was that big. Maybe for a bedroom but its clearly not designed to be used there.

I almost bought one yesterday when a local toy store had a decent bundle deal. Suffice to say they were out of stock.

MercilessKiller I like your view on the XboxOne.

Thanks!

I had a quite nasty argument with a guy recently who told me that "no one" cares about Kinect and because of that the PS4 was a much better console. The problem is, there are people who are set in their ways and thus won't listen to anyone elses argument - Hopefully my post makes everyone happy, regardless of what you've purchased, and is useful to people who are yet to purchase one!

I'm gonna run my 360 into the ground, then see what happens, but I'm edging towards the Xbox One.

I quite like it's boxy bland living room electronics look, the PS4's 'wacky' shape messes with my ocd lol.

Ha I do like the shape of the new Xbone!

Something that surprised me with it is that I now use it every day to turn on my TV and watch media with.. the majority of time on it isn't gaming, due to how good the voice controls are!

So... you're looking to buy a games console based on how it looks rather than its games library?
