Thank you for reminding me that I have no money to buy any new console this coming holiday :D

Cost of games, £50 is too much, when shops reduce this cost to £40, then we'll see about getting a new console.

Of course I'll probably buy them at £25.



Hmm, pie.

I have preordered a ps4 (before the supposed cutoff point, or so I was told at the time )but am having serious second thoughts.
I didn't realise that the damn machine wasn't backwards compatible until a few weeks back and half the reason i wanted one right away was to replace my dying ps3, otherwise I might as well wait (I have a pretty big backlog of ps3 games I have yet to play)
Plus the launch lineup doesn't exactly blow me away. The only exclusive game that looks like my bag
is Knack and I doubt it's worth buying a console for.
Plus I already own a wii u and I have a 3ds and there are a few things coming out for em around the same time, so I may end up holding off for a while just cos of that. I have no doubt I will purchase a ps4 within a year (If I don't end up getting at launch) but right now I honestly don't see the rush



Naaah. December/Jan I'm going scuba diving and surfing and awesome holiday things will be happening. Plus buying a console at launch can be rather disappointing. I suppose I'll get a PS4 around March next year. There's no rush.



No.
Lack of money, time and interest are the main reasons.

I'm not getting any of them. The games arent appealing to me. When FF 15 or X or Zelda u are coming out im buying a next gen system.

Yes, i called the Wii u a next gen system.



I'm not getting either this year because of a few things. The primary is money I don't have enough to buy them yet. And there are too few titles that I like on them. Most titles that are being released for them are also for the 360/PS3 which I do have. Also I have already bought a Wii U and there are some good titles coming out for it that I haven't been able to buy, and some that I want to buy in the next few months. So I really am set in terms of gaming until the new console come down in price.

So it is basically a money thing. I don't think I'm alone on this considering there are two surveys on who will buying a new console at launch and they both have very low numbers of people willing to make the jump. (Reuters has published the latest on)



I´m not buying them. They´re too pricey and the lack of backwards compatibility really hurts.
By now, my PC and WiiU are enough to fill my gaming needs. And I still can always play my nephews´ Xbox360.

I may get the Ps4 in the future, but only when the hardware price drops and it gets some exclusive good stuff.



Not me. Got a Wii U plus a backlog like you wouldn't believe, and too little time to play it all.
