Forums - Gaming - Any console converts here? And why?

Jizz_Beard_thePirate on 10 January 2014

I keep on switching between Sony and Nintendo

gamecube > psp > wii > ps3 > 3ds > vita > wiiU > ps4? (not sure about the ps4 yet)


Its mostly cause I look for the best services and games... I almost got an xbox cause of halo but the next gen was coming out so I didn't bother... I didn't get a 360 cause of the mandatory online pay and thats whats preventing me from getting a ps4 just yet... I like to have optional things instead of mandatory...

Went from 360 to WiiU!

-Miiverse is more positive than Xbox Live
-WiiU has better platformers, and more of them
-TV integration of the WiiU is a little better
-Menus are faster to navigate than 360 and XOne
-Better games I could play with my wife. We had a blast with Super Mario 3D World!
-Better graphics than the 360
-No more online service fees
-More "open" storage options, any USB, SD card or external drive can hook up to the U
-Backwards compatibility for games and controllers
-A lot of cross-platform games are cheaper on the U
-More promising games for 2014 on the WiiU (Bayo 2, MK8, Watch Dogs, X, etc)
-Hideki Kamiya
-Because it's Nintendo



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Also, I have no faith in the new Halo dev's ability to deliver great multiplayer (Halo 4's multiplayer sucked)

Was going to pick up a Vita but i had went with a 3DS instead. Im sure i would have been satisfied no matter the choice.

In last gen I already converted from Xbox 360 to PS3 but now I have converted back to PC gaming. I will probably buy a PS4 eventually so I can play God of War and Platinum's games that only tend to be on console, the next Red Dead and stuff. BTW, is Metal Gear 5 console exclsuive?

Can't convert to anything when you already get them all.

Gamer first!

after the n 64 I went to xbox, been on those products ever sense mainly.

in the middle I picked up a few nintendo handhelds a wii and some ps2's but the consoles I have focused on most have been the nintendo systems up to n64 and then all the xboxes.

No need to switch if you already got all of them. Except the bad ones.

I missed console gaming last gen, joined budget PC gaming around 2008. From launch I supported the Wii and what it stood for from the sidelines (on the net >_>). Around 2010 my allegiance changed to the PS3. At the start of this gen I landed my first job and upgraded my PC to upper mainstream levels and grabbed a WiiU about 6 months after launch. I still believed in what the Wii stood for. If my PC didn't exist Id have waited and got a PS4 first and then got a WiiU later. As it stands there's not enough separating the PS4 from my PC but I expect to own one eventually. I have nothing against XBox its just not my cup of tea, paying for live "was" a big deal though. In-fact paying for PSN might be a barrier as I'm used to free online on my PC and WiiU >_>


This post brings so many similarities as to things that I think. I too was brought back to consoles by the Wii and I still believe in what it stood for.

I converted from PS3 to PS4. Does that count?
