What's keeping you from buying a PS4?

[MOONRAKER1985]

I got a PS4 on the launch day and at first i wasn't very convinced but after nearly 10 months i booted up my PS3 and turned it off within 5 mins and packed it away. Cant go back to it, it feels so dated. Oh and the new PS4 controller really puts the old one to shame

- hundreds of PS3 games in my backlog

- has not had the "I gotta have it" game for me yet

- many features that were promised before launch have not been fulfilled yet.

[Radebe78]

My backlog of 30+ games that I really want to play and have them in my trophy list.

 

And the fact that there are very few good games out there for PS4. I have the money  to buy new console but I am waiting for next year. First idea was to but it with Witcher 3 bundle in Feb 2015, also Bloodborne is scheduled then, but maybe I will wait for a bit longer.

[Suporex]

the backlog of games I want to platinum on ps3 keeps me away from PS4. Anyway Dragon Age inquisition and AC Unity in Noveber. I probably will get it then + my birthday is in november as well, so win - win

[nerbygames]

Well -

- No backwards capability? Really? Streaming PS3 games - yeah if your internet is super fast and good and still don't think anyone's is.

- I don't think paying for multi or the console itself would catch on until my career comes around.

- I might be getting into new franchises that have their games on the PS3.

- Destiny's on PS3 anyway and I am liking the controls from the beta over the graphical upgrade the PS4 has.

- The Mass Effect series will take a while for me.

Hundreds and hundreds of games in my backlog. I don't feel any need to upgrade right now. If there are any great Xmas time deals I'll bite, but if not...I can wait another year or two (or three or four) before I upgrade. There isn't anything about the PS4 that makes me say "no" I just need to work on my PS3/360 stuff 1st lol.

[tranquilu]

So many games to finish on ps3. Don't feel the rush to upgrade any time soon

 

same reason here

The question here should be whats keeping you from playing the ps4! oh heres one anser maybe because my eject sensor is broken and keeps trying to eject the disk causing me not to be able to insert a disk. i just shipped it back to sony today.

[The Chosen Undead]

Mostly the price of the console, plus the massive 'backlog' I have on PS3 (in quotes because it's not really so much a backlog as it is me wanting to finish old games.).

[Nightstream88]

Some of the games I want don't come out until next year, so I am currently waiting for next year to buy one, I probably could right now, but it would just be collecting dust if I bought it now.

[Jennifayrie]

The fact that it costs money.... that is my only reason n_n

 

Although once i come back from my holiday that's what i'll focus on saving up for next, i've been making a small fortune on ebay recently with old toys and stuff so hopefully it won't be too long away 

[JaneAusten69]

I actually have the money saved up for my PS4.  I'm currently moved back in with my mom until I can find a better job.  Once I have a place of my own again,  I will purchase the PS4 as a reward to myself.  

 

Hopefully it will be by the end of this month because I really want to get Shadows of Mordor, and AC Unity.  Those are the only games that have peaked my interest anyways.  I also have been collecting all the PS+ games for PS4.  So when I get one I'll actually have quite a few titles to play.

 

In the meantime, I still have a few games to catch up on my PS3 and Vita.

[JamnLycan_US]

There is not a gmae that make you to buy it.

 

There are many remakes and multi consoles  but I can play them in my old PS3 so there is still no a reason to buy a PS4

[VetoShizuko]

Console has nothing that I wanna play yet. Everything comes out later and there's kinda more games and figures I wanna buy later this year so I won't be bored 

[Codes]

not really any particular games that make me think wow!! I want this now.. im waiting for that new final fantasy game to come out it looks awesome then I will buy it. im going to go look now and see whats upcoming releases etc so I may edit this post haha

 

edit: okay so I think I will get assasins creed unity and the division which I can play until final fantasy 15 comes out so I will buy it beginning October once im back from Ibiza

[savageamusement]

Waiting for a price drop, Uncharted 4 and Phantom pain mainly.

I'm working on my backlog of games at the moment so I'm happy enough without a PS4 for now.

I am currently saving up for one though...

[StewartBros]

Too expensive at the moment - don't have that kind of cash going spare.

 

Waiting a couple of years for the inevitable PS4 Slim, which should be free of any problems the PS4 has just now.  Plus there will be many more games available for it by then.

 

Most of the PS4 titles that have attracted my interest - AC Unity, MGSV, Uncharted 4, etc - aren't even out yet, so there' no point in buying a PS4 now and having next to no games to play on it.

 

Still have an extensive PS3 backlog, including around 12 work-in-progress games and about 25 unstarted games, so there's no room for a PS4 for a long time yet.

 

Part of me wants to not buy another Playstation console until Capcom announce that they're making a new Onimusha game for it!

 

Just don't have as much time available to play games as I used to - so the aforementioned PS3 backlog may actually never get cleared!  No point in adding more games on a new console to that backlog until I've done all that I really want to on PS3.

[Div_Muzza]

Huge backlog of ps3 games.

[TheVader66]

I have a backlog for PS3, also I need money for the console but college is a bitch to recover, also there is only like only three games that I want to play so badly: Infamous: Second Son, Hyperdimension Neptunia VII and Persona 5 (the last two are not even out yet)

[NebuLaTeK]

 

By priority:

1. Expecting a slim edition in a few years.
2. Waiting for the release date of FFXV.
3. Waiting for more games.

 

Same u.u

[VerCettI]

I read many comments about "switching" and "upgrading" from PS3 to PS4. I don't understand this line of thought. I added a PS4 to my gaming collection.It didn't replace anything. Still play alot of PS3. When games like Infamous second son come out I finish them and then work on my backlog until the next PS4 game comes along. Of course having a room in my house dedicated to games with multiple displays set up does help. 

[StrayEidolon]

My backlog is the main reason I'm holding off on buying a PS4.

I keep telling myself I'll move to the current gen when FFXV releases!

That should give me plenty of time right?

I dunno dude. That new TGS trailer made it look like they're finally nearing completion!

Joking aside, I have a new reason that's stopping me from buying a PS4:

I'm saving up to join the PC Mustard Race.

[daftprophet]

I'm saving up to join the PC Mustard Race.

 

Why not both? master race talk is garbage.  I have a PC that plays games great.  Assembled from (really really good) hand me down parts.  Put hundreds of hours into Binding of Isaac on it already.  Which actually brings me to the next point.

 

I won a competition on another website about a year ago.  I won money for a PS4 and I'd been patiently waiting for that until I picked one up...which I am doing today.  Thing is, I'm in no real rush to get it, just feel it's time since I have the extra cash now.  I wanted to nab the white destiny bundle anyway.  Probably grab a spare controller as well.  Sure there aren't many next gen games yet, but like a few others stated, it's an addition to the collection.  No reason to get rid of the PS3 at all.  

[Rollers23]

Price, lack of games, price of games, I still have ton of games to play on my old consoles and PC. There's just no reason for me to buy a PS4

[StrayEidolon]

Why not both?

Because (lack of) money. "Mustard Race" was just a joke. I'm not a fanboy of certain consoles/platforms and while I'm at it I'll mention that I don't plan on ever getting rid of my PS3. Am I misinterpreting your post? Sorry if I am!
