What motivates you to buy a new console?

Bundles/Game Pack-ins 42 4.04%
 
New Colors 21 2.02%
 
Price Cut 154 14.82%
 
New Game Releases 587 56.50%
 
Hardware Redesign 170 16.36%
 
Other 65 6.26%
 
Total:1,039

Price cuts and hardware redesigns can have a good influence but I suppose none of that matters if you don't like the games



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

You could have the best console ever crafted by man, but if it has no games, what's the point. Games is the only correct answer.



How can i say anything but games.



Games and since I like Playstation the most my next console will be the PS5.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Only the exclusives titles make me to keep buying consoles, everything not console exclusive I play on PC.



Around the Network

New game releases, along with a price cut that makes it more affordable.



"Price Cut" (the price is now, right) or "New Game Releases" (I need this game, gotta get the box)
+
"Hardware Redesign" (rebuy)  or "Bundles/Game Pack-ins" (im a collector type of person)

^ this is what sells hardware imo.

 

"What Gives You The Greatest Motivation To Buy A New Console?"

I think the biggest one is the "new Game releases".
 



When it comes to PlayStation consoles, it's the third party japanese games, and when it comes to Nintendo consoles, it's the first party games. Price cuts too.

Exclusives and price. Before PS3 I got most of my consoles as random gifts, didn't even ask for them.

Since then:

PS3: Final Fantasy Versus XIII primarily
360: Was $50 with 10 games and a controller

PS4: Exclusives



Boredom with what I own.
