If you’re like me and still on the fence on which console to buy and you'd rather wait it out a few months or years to see which console delivers on quality games or a price drop especially the overpriced Xbox One. Then you can thanks Nintendo for making the waiting period less agonizing.

Today on November 22, 2013 I just came back from Best Buy with not the Xbox One like I was planning on doing which would of set me back at least $700 + tax but instead I wind up paying just $270 for a Zelda 3ds XL bundle (which I got for only $197+tax thanks Walmart for making bestbuy price match your sale price) and Mario 3d World  ($59.99).

 

 Thanks Nintendo for release the game and Zelda bundle on the same day as Xbox One launch and avoid me from making a $700  silly purchase.


Let the Next-Gen Xbox One and PS4 buying delay begin, be strong and resist the temptation.

I have also chose to wait out on buying either the PS4 or the Xbox One until the issues get sorted out and there's some games out that i wanna play because as of right now neither console has anything to offer me at this time sadly. I will try to wait on a limited edition of either console that's to my liking :D



not a bad idea to do!
if you want to get a ps4 anytime in its lifecycle, it would be a good idea to join ps+ now, regardless of when you are going to buy a ps4. just imagine: let's say you join ps+ now but buy the ps4 after it's first pricecut (or a good deal) in, maybe 2 years. you paid 100$ (or is it 120$?) for the sub, but your library would contain a good load of high quality titles, like 15 AAA games, and 15-25 smaller games like indies or HD editions and loooots of cool stuff.

this would totally be the best way to jump late into the generation, not having to pay much for all the stuff. ok, it's in advance, but still, good idea imho.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

Mario 3d World looks gorgeous



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I don't know how the PS+ work..... but for someone that's never own a PS3. It would be interesting idea to simply get a PS3 with PS+, I could then play Diablo 3 and GT5and PS+ games since my damn Xbox 360 died last summer.

Good idea. I didn't intend in buying either console at launch. But somehow also got 3DS around this time. Good time to get it. But to be honest between PS3, PSV and now 3DS, i don't need or want a PS4 anytime soon



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Tbh I will not get a wii u until SSB. I have had enough mario the last ten years.



You sound like you got paid to say that, why don't you use © and ™ next time, then the whole thing looks more official.

And maybe put down some links where you can buy the thing.

But honestly, I hate it when people try to sell me things in a forum, no offense.

Nice, I love the 3DS even games like Picross, Crossword 3ds and Pushmo keep me coming back to the system every day. You're much better off waiting, especially PS4 you know that pretty soon there might not be a price drop but there most likely will be a killer bundle for $399. Xbox One on the other hand it's all about sales, they're priced higher then PS4, if they don't get enough sales they're going to have to be much more aggressive with bundles and earlier then expected price drop.



Nothing wrong with waiting to buy a PS4 or X1, heck if it's like this generations in terms of time before we get new hardware from Sony and MS then you have lots of time.
