So why are you picking up Sony's next console?

Two caveats:

1. Don't mention price.
2. Don't mention negatives about any other platform.

Just give me the positives of the PS4.

Full disclosure: I am getting an Xbox One day 1 and have no interest in the PS4 but want to hear the positives about it from those who are getting it.

 

[baphomet]

Because I want one.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I will get one eventually when it gets the 1st party games I want.

 

[ascii42]

I like Sony's first party studios.

 

[Alx]

Why would you not mention price though ?

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I like Evolution as a development house and Drive Club reminds me of PGR3. Killzone doesn't look too shabby either.

 

[Darklor01]

MLB 14: The Show(not yet announced, so I hope it happens)

 

[dude819]

Because I want one.

So no reason. Just cause?

Because I can kind of respect that.

 

[Valnen]

The Playstation platform gets all the games I want and it offers services I find superior to other platforms. It's a no brainer really.

 

[deli2000]

GAF told me to.

Spoiler

More interesting First Party games.

 

[deadlast]

The Vita sold me on Sony. Take that haters!

 

[protonion]

3 reasons:

-PS1
-PS2
-PS3

 

[link1201]

DC Universe Online....and yes I'm serious....its a guilty pleasure.

 

[dude819]

Why would you not mention price though ?

Because the price being cheaper does not speak to the qualities of the PS4 you would like.

 

[War Eagle]

I've always gotten at least one next gen console at launch and the PS4 was the no brainer for me. I would be breaking your rule 2 if I said why, I suppose, but it's more powerful than the XB1, and no Kinect. Plus I love Sony's first party studios.

I started this gen with a 360. I got my PS3 back around 2009. My 360 has barely been turned on since 2010. So sticking to PS seems like the no brainer move to me.

[gofreak]

This year, I want next-gen versions of certain multiplat games, Hohokum, Resogun and a box for playing PlanetSide 2 (my current PC being a Mac). And a PAL Blu-ray player (my PS3 is JPN). There's a couple of other games I'll probably get (KZ, Drive Club) but those other things are the primary drivers.

For the generation? Third party games and Sony's games.

 

[backbreaker65]

Because I want one.

This is all you need to know.

 

[AwRy108]

I like Sony's first party studios.

This, and I like having new tech toys, even despite the early adopter headaches.

 

[DukeBobby]

Because I want a new console, and the PS4 looks to be the best choice for me.

 

[Nocturno999]

3 reasons:

-PS1
-PS2
-PS3

This is a key reason why I'll eventually get one. (Have one preordered but still undecided).

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I'm ready for next gen and something new.

I'm keeping my PS3 because there's still plenty come out for it, but it between I'll also have a brand new console to entertain me that is going to serve me very well over the next 5/6 years.

 

[Jacksonlee]

indies.

naughty dog.



im sick of AAA FPSs

 

[keit4]

Because i always buy consoles with exclusive games i want to play.

 

[jiggle]

cuz i'm gonna get one eventually anyway
why not now

and this helps

 

[BadWolf]

Because PS1, PS2 and PS3 all had the best library of games of their generation.

 

[Eggbok]

Compare launch PS3 games to PS3 games now.
I await the same for PS4, greatness awaits.

 

[sfedai0]

PS1, PS2, PS3, etc. Must collect them all.

 

[ascii42]

Because the price being cheaper does not speak to the qualities of the PS4 you would like.

If one wants to play multiplatform games, price would be important, no? Since all other things equal, we might as well pay less to play the same games.

 

[bigmf]

MLB 14: The Show(not yet announced, so I hope it happens)

That and Naughty Dog has my absolute trust.

Aside: The Show 14 will be announced sometime after the world series, they never announce it in season.

 

[d0nd]

Second Son ,knack, vita remote play, I like sony

also 399.99

MS does not have anything i want to play 'right now'

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Because its the next cool thing

 

[Skilletor]

It has and will continue to get games I want to play.

 

[Huddy]

History of First Party games.

hUMA.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

- Next gen get
- Remoteplay
- Infamous
- eventual Naughty Dog blockbusters
- Had a $500 Visa gift card that I sat on after Xmas last year specifically for this. That gift card's true potential has now been realized

 

[Arzehn]

Playstation Plus
Sony First Party
Japanese games

That was easy.

 

[Hollow]

Because it has games I want to play and I'm tired of this gen.

 

[see5harp]

Because I know it'll have plenty of games that I want to play over it's lifetime. I could easily say the same about every other platform.

 

[driver116]

But it's the price and negatives of the other system why I'm buying one. Catch22 much?

 

[Gamerloid]

Xbox One won't get all the JRPG like the PS4 will. Sony also goes hard with exclusives, and they support their consoles even after a new generation arrives. Look at the end of the PS3's generation, they are still killing it with exclusives while Xbox 360 just stopped.

I won't get getting one at launch, but maybe early next year.

 

[TheCloser]

It will have the best games. Sony have always had the best variety of games since ps1 soo this is going to be no different.

 

[Alucrid]

So people can make bad threads questioning my decision.

 

[Nasser]

TLG

 

[Samyy]

Because its Sony - the last 4 years have been absolutely amazing on PS3 and I own a Vita which I enjoy.

 

[Bill Rizer]

Resogun
Street Fighter V

Spoiler

maybe

 

[Marvel]

I'm a Sony guy... all I can say really.

Incredible exclusives.

 

[Dio Brando]

Mostly because of the exclusives. Always liked them more.

 

[v1lla21]

1. Price point
2. Prefer exclusives
3. After I started to play PC games I fell in love with many indie games and what Sony is doing with indie devs it made me happy.
4. Sounds like it'll be the definitive platform for multis.
5. GDDR5

 

[HammerOfThor]

Because I dig Sony and want to support them.

 

[Aesthet1c]

I'm really excited for next gen hardware, and Sony has the best first party games.
