Forums - Gaming Discussion - Should I buy a PS4 or games for the current generation?

I have enough money to spend on video games to either get a PS4 with a game or two, or I can buy games coming out for 360 and PS3 like GTA V, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD, Beyond Two Souls, Call of Duty Ghosts, Battlefield 4 etc.... Remember I can either buy current gen games or a PS4 with a couple of games, which do you believe I should do? Thanks for your help in advance

Well, the PS3 games is the safer choice, though if you're willing to gamble, I guess PS4.



just wait and see the differences between the current and next gen versions. then decide. if the differences are big (loading time, visuals, content) then maybe its better to buy a PS4. if they are small, then maybe its better to just stay on current gen for a while. just my advice



hard one, i would say PS4 but those are some great games coming out. ummm how many games could you get if you got ps4?

Two at the most plus I have Gamefly so I can also rent a couple of games to.

Buy games for the current generation. GTA V, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD will take up so much of your time, I know it will for me. My plan actually is to play some of the X1 exclusives, and play my PS3 still. It will be weird for me to get a PS4, yet all the games I want to play are for the PS3, I might as well wait.

What exclusives do you want to play on the PS4 that overshadows the PS3 games? Don't you want to play BF4 on next-gen?



Well it depends, if your a collector like me I'd recommend staying on this gen and playing the great games that are coming, you can always get a PS4 later.  If you just end up selling your games/consoles to go to next gen its really up to you, if you think GTA5, Batman Arkyam Origins, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Beyond, KH HD, F X/X-2 HD, Disgaea D2, MGS 5, Gran Turismo 6, Tale of Symphonia HD and Tales of Xillia 2 is better or you think Killzone SF, Knack, Driveclub, Order 1886, inFamous Second Son and whatever they annouce at Gamescom is better then get a PS4.  Remember this though, if you sell your PS3 and get a PS4 then your gonna be missing out on a lot of JRPGs, Japanese developers are gonna try to stay on the PS3 as long as they can.



uhhh... current generation, The ps4 loooks great but alot of games coming out for it is already on current gen and GTA5 looks AMAZING. Play it safe. All the games you get will hold you over for a while, you would have a better backlog for current and get ps4 later down the line.

Go ps4. All those games will be out for it. They will look better run and look better than the ps3 counter parts. It's not like they are all dropping day one anyway, So over time you could pick them up.

Good point JRPG games are my favorite genre.
