Pre-ordered a 3DS for Fire Emblem Awakening... And the game turned out bad. The only games I played on the console after that were a DS game because my sister was using the DS, and a part of Pokemon Sun only because of the hype and the fact that I wanted to see how it evolved since Yellow (the last Pokemon I played). Disappointed about this one too...

Check the rest of the PS4 games, I hope other games would please you. Otherwise, it's not worth it IMO.

My brother and I got a Switch at launch for just one game, Breath of the Wild. And so far we have also ended up getting mariokart 8-D, splatoon 2, and Super Mario Odyssey.

Patiently waiting for Pokemon at the moment.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I bought the original Xbox for Splinter Cell before it was ported (poorly) over to the other two consoles and didn't end up regretting it. That console was so superior to PS2 and Gamecube when it came to online gaming that it became my main console for a couple years.

I usually buy a console for one game. (of course I end up getting a couple others too)

Once you have the console, you automagically might get interested in its other titles as well :)

I agree with this. You start to look at the library in a different way once you have access.

Nope wouldn't do it. Up to u though - depends on if you think the game is really worth it.

Moral of the thread: exclusives move consoles.

I would never do that. Not even for Pokemon. The thing that causes me to buy into a platform is "Man, this platform looks so cool!" Which is why I skipped out on the PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U entirely (sorry, 8th gen fans. I thought all 3 consoles looked underwhelming). Ended up getting a 3ds and Switch because smartphone gaming was so shit that it really made me appreciate dedicated handhelds again, and a PC because... Do I really have to explain?

Hasn't H1Z1 "coming to PS4" been in the pipe for a few years now? If you're buying a PS4 for H1Z1 and not all of it's other amazing exclusives, then that'll make me the most bewildered person on this planet....

Prepare for bewilderment lol. I’m more of an online gamer and I have no interest in other ps4 exclusives.

Although, what else does the ps4 have online wise that’s exclusive? Please don’t bring up The Last of Us because I’ve played that on the ps3 and that was just a crawling simulator. ;)

I don't think there is many GT sports, Bloodborne, DriveClub, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Let It Die spring to mind. Uncharted 4 also has a fun MP. Days Gone might have MP, though that has yet to be seen.

And the bolded is not necessary, don't think because you put a wink that it's suddenly okay to troll a game.
