I don't need a single reason not to buy a PS4 or One, save for their having a price. My problem is a lack of reasons to get them rather than a cooler PC.


First Party and Third party exclusives should honestly be the only reason why people should get either system (other than console exclusives i.e. for PS4/Xbox One that the WiiU will more than likely not get in the future).


I could understand getting an Xbox One at least if the "always-online/Power of the Cloud" thing were integrated into the gaming experience enough to change the way games are played (providing better AI, support for more advanced graphics, MMO-like games, etc). But even that, the one redeeming feature of the One back 6 or 7 months ago, is now gone. Heck, a case could even be made for Kinect 2.0, but where are the killer apps for it?

As things are, the PS4 and One are competent enough machines, but are simply boring, much like the PS360 duo before them. They provide little that a dedicated gaming PC wouldn't, and bring plenty of the negatives. The Wii U, despite its flaws, does something that PC's don't with its GamePad. It might not be worth the cost of admission to most people, but at least it exists.

Maybe I will get a PS4 some day simply to play some exclusives when they inevitably enter the $10 bin after a couple of years. Probably not until 2017 at the earliest, but possibly.

They do realise 500GB is not the binary version? 1GiB = 1024 MiB . Every hard drive is like this, as they use the decimal 1GB = 1000MB.



85. PS4 HDD is touted as 500 GB but actually contains around 408 GB. Meanwhile, the PS3 500 GB comes with exactly that amount of space.


Complete lie. Not reading the list. Many of those points are stupid.



I updated the OP to have all 100 reasons in it.

you don't need to go anywhere but the OP on this Thread to read the 100 reasons.

So no more excuses for not reading all 100 reasons.
I did edit out the images.

P.S. Yes some reasons are stupid, but others are valid.

Please tell! I'm still trying to find something that resembles an argument and is not complete bullshit.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

it's full of BS that list and the thread title is wrong, those arent reasons to not get the systems ever, at most they are reasons not to get them now cause most of those reasons have an expiry date.

and my Vita gets plenty of games and gaming time thank you.

pretty ignorant the person who wrote all that crap.

One reason to get ps4 / xbox one.

1. No more begging at petition sites like some group of people.

You mean like the people begging for Bayonetta 2 to be released on PS3/360?


They are small minority compared to 600,000 GTA V pc beggers.


Wait. Let me get this straight. Your one reason to buy a PS4/XBone is because of GTA V?...

Which you can't play on PS4/XBone....

 

And what's wrong with people asking for a PC port of a game? It's not like they're demanding it.

I want a PC port as well. Even after I already bought the 360 version.

GTA V is a great game and I want to be able to play it in the best possible way.



Much of this list will be void in a year anyway so who cares. Buy PS4 or X1 now if you want and just enjoy, if you can't wait.

How is Saints Row IV a reason to hold back though? really fun game but there are better games out there



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Half the reasons are "Game X isn't coming to PS4 or Xbox One". They were really pushing it to come up with 100 reasons, eh? My problems are no backwards compatibility and no good games, yet. That's it.



I stopped reading after the first 10 reasons, most of which related to reasons why one wouldn't buy either system at launch.
