Should I buy a ps3 now or wait until the ps4 launches?

I have been thinking about getting a new system I will either be buying the Wii U or the ps3 I will def. be getting the ps4 when it comes out I currently have a 360 and wii. Is it worth it just to wait for the ps4 and play all ps3 games from the ps4? Has anything been confirmed about backwards compatibility yet? I know there were rumors it might not be.

PS3 exclusives make getting the PS3 a must, nothing like them anywhere else.

Sony said they will continue to support the PS3 until 2015. This does not mean however that there won't be a PS4 before that, just they will keep supporting the PS3 on the market.

You should look at the exclusives, multiplats you can play on 360 and most of which are virtually identical to their PS3 counterparts. So look at games like Uncharted, Little Big Planet, God of War, Killzone etc...if these games appeal to you then I say go for it.

One great thing about PS3 though is you don't have to pay to play online. So you can experience your full game without any strings attached.

Just get a PlayStation 3. Nothing's been announced yet so there will be plenty of time to enjoy your PS3 to the fullest.

Even if the 4th PlayStation was announced, it would take a while to be released.

PS4 isnt coming out soon, and even if it is, going by Sony's recent business tactics, chances are they will throw away PS3 backward compatibility for some stupid reason.funsohng

It's naow! or nevaaaah!

Yeah I am anticipating them revealing at E3 and then either selling it fall 2013 or early 2014. I don't think playstation will let the competition get so far ahead like they did in the past my problem is if it comes out fall next year I can wait to play the games but if not I may want to pick one up soon. There is also the Wii U which has recently begun to look much more interesting plus I have owned all Nintendo systems to date. The only system I did not get to experience this gen was ps3 but I am planning on it being one of my main systems next gen. No rumors related to the new xbox has me interested in it plus when you lose over 30 games save data because of a network error I no longer trust thaqt brand especially when you put over 400 hours into mass effect through various play throughs.

Basically looking forward to experiencing all consoles next gen but I still want to try some of the great ps3 tites out now. Wish I had more time to game these days but gotta pay the bills.

Late gen is the best time, you can find older games for cheap and plunder the backlog.

When the PS4 is announced it'll probably be some time before it's released. You may as well get the PS3 now, with lots of games that should keep you busy.

There are always fantastic PS3 bundles on Black Friday. If you can't make it out then there are usually gift card deals in December. TheDidact
