Forums - Gaming Discussion - People cancelling their PS4 preorders on Forums around the net.

Wow. 

It seems alot of gamers find little valur left in the PS4 launch. With the news that Driveclub is delayed ALOT of gamers are posting that they are switching their preoder to Xbox One or cancelling alltogether. Even the PS fans happy site Playstation.blog is errupting. Heres some posts.

 

This is relevant information, and directly affects PS4 sales on a SALES WEBSITE like VGC its relevant. Theres been plenty of Nintendo sales doomed threads. At least Ive left my own impressio out of it. 

"@91

WiiUpgrade is dead bro. And its current gen. Please keep that weak beefed up 360 out of the next gen convo.

@98

ONE TITLE yeah one big AAA launch title out of the what, 3 x 1st party launch titels. Where Knack is pretty meh.

So basically its Killzone and DriveClub. COD I don’t care about, neither Ass Creed. Battle Field in 720p? No thanks. The indie games are nice ofcourse, but don’t downplay this.

Xbones line up starts to look more and more appealing by the minute, with PS4′s biggest title falling months in delay. Don’t downplay this for people like me, which were buying the launch console FOR this game. I’ll not get the PS4 at launch anymore. So just that."

 

"A big disappointment.

Really thinkin about canceling my preorder en buy the console when there are more games to play.

I thought u guy learned form the PS3 release"

 

 

"This is really, really bad news for the PS4 launch line-up. In the space of a couple of days the two games I was most looking forward to getting with my PS4 have been delayed. That leaves me with just Killzone in the PS4 exclusives pile… and I’ve never been a massive Killzone fan. Played them all and thought they’ve just been OK. On the plus side (chortle, chortle) I was genuinely interested in Contrast, so at least it’s free now.

So I have a dilemma. Do I even bother with the PS4 now? If I want NFS Rivals, BF4, AC4, CoD:Ghosts or any other game I can get them on my Xbox One which I’ll have a week earlier as I live in Europe. Seriously starting to wander what the point is in owning a PS4 at launch now for me personally. I always knew Sony would find a way of messing all this goodwill up. Congrats on pulling defeat from the jaws of victory yet again Sony."

 

 

"Is there any point in buying a PS4 before Spring next year?"

 

 

 

"Canceling PS4 Pre Order now…"

 

 

"Only 2 games I genuinely wanted now pushed back. Just cancelled my PS4 preorder. I’ll wait till next year now, poor show."

 

 

"no #firstworldproblems but is not #firstworldproblems also if sony will miss my money. For now I convert the preorder to XboxOne and I can play some exclusive like DeadRising3 and Forza5 and all multi, Knack and Killzone are not exactly what I’m expect from a next-gen AAA titles."

 

 

"@28, XP_Version1, damn right it’ll kill a great deal of the momentum. In a couple of days Ubisoft have shot Sony in their left foot and Sony just shot themselves in their right foot. Game wise the PS4 is on the floor and ready for the Xbox One to give it a right good kicking. Just how do Sony screw things up so badly every time?

@29, OttoT, yeah… there are a lot of people in the same boat as you. I’m one of them. I’m going to sit on this until tomorrow morning, but right now I’m very tempted to switch all my day one multiplatform pre-order games over to the Xbox One and cancel my PS4. I’ll pick one up when Sony remember they have their own game studios that should be making games."

 

 

"I’m very disappointed, but what really annoys me is that Sony PROMISED DriveClub for PsPlus and because of that I renewed my subscription.

The replacement title is very very weak. We are used to some standard in PS3 and Vita…
I’m seriously considering canceling my reserve. There is not even a single game at launch that I want and is not available on Xbox One."

 

 

"What an absolutely abysmal launch. That’s all but one of the titles that I wanted for launch now not coming out.

You’ve set expectations and spectacularly failed to deliver them. I’ve cancelled my pre-order with Amazon, and will wait until you can actually get some games out for your system.

Poor planning, poor delivery, poor everything."

 

 

 

"Not impressed. I was only buying the PS4 for the exclusive games & there is now no killer apps at launch that interest me.

REMEMBER: GAMES SELL SYSTEMS.

They are going to have to THROW IN A BOXED GAME gratis like Microsoft are doing. Fifa or Forza on Xbox, Need For Speed or Knack/killzone for PS4.

OTHERWISE, this new trend of cancelling pre-orders I am seeing posted on threads is like a virus spreading expidentialy & is going to DESTROY the PS4 launch.

SOME VERY QUICK THINKING required by Sony & ANOTHER press release TODAY detailing a BETTER NEW DEAL (Not that indy game) for everyone hoping for Driveclub & Killzone. :-/"

 

 

"LOL

1st Watch Dog, now Diveclub,
NO headset support on launch
Need PS+ to play Online
it keeps getting better, better.

Thank you SONY made my decision EVEN easier.

I`m sticking with PS3 for the near future "

Well, if this is not a flamebait thread, I don't know what it is.....



This thread will be interesting!!!

OT: I wouldn't cancel my preorder if I were them. But then again, the PS4 is all about the games, so if it doesn't have them why buy it?



Sony made a bad move. Every gamer should cancel their Playstation 4 preorder. They haven't been treating their customers like they deserve.

First post. Didnt take long. Fucking irritating.

How about actually saying something about the topic itself? Its pretty clear to anyone that things arent looking as good now as they were only a Week ago.

Launch lineup is weak. I really cant blame people for wanting to cancel and wait it out (or just change launch console).

Hyperbole at its finest.

So, it's my fault now??? The news of DriveClub are as disappointing (i'm the first that is upset) as this is a flamebait thread. He is clearly enjoying in his OP the disgrace of PS fans..., so sorry, i feel upset by this thread.

It directly affects sales of PS4. This is a sales website. Sony done it to themselves. further replacing Driveclub with a multiplat.



I will delay my purchase and stick with my ps3 for now, However, i can't blame those changing to the competitor side due to dissapoinment, in fact, i understand perfectly.
