I have one, but it certainly could stand to have some better games.

Have one but completely regret it. Should have waited for a price drop. There's no games right now anyways.

More games, exclusive or otherwise

A Dualshock 4 battery life which will survive over 34 button presses.

An SKU with a bigger hard drive and less noise. I hear the buggers can get rather loud.

I've been hearing about this. Is the battery really that weak? How long does it usually last?

Same reason I got an original Xbox after ps2, a ps3 after 360. Games. Neither is paying me to be an internet cheer leader and to ignore the other consoles when it comes to games I want to play. Infamous SS, kz sf are first up.

They would have to announce some games that actually look interesting. Not just more Uncharted, Infamous and racing games.

Convince me to keep it? Different game design. Less OS. WAY less dlc. Digital versions priced accordingly. Physical versions being actual physical versions. Updates cease to lock out user. Updates done in background.

Well one thing I can think of is being able to transport all of my digital purchases from the previous gen over to the new consoles.

One of the main things that set me against the new boxes is the idiotic notion that people should have their consoles from the previous gen still connected after purchasing a new box. There should be a way for all of your digital purchases to carry over. At the very least your PSN or XBL purchases. I can understand AAA games, but the small shit (XBLA/PSN games) should work.

Last gen I owned a PS3, 360 and a Wii. as it stood my set was already getting overcrowded, now after all the cash I spent I'm expected to have to cram another piece of hardware along with those? Really? That's fucking stupid.

Backwards compatibility. More games. Free online.

I still don't like the idea of exclusives. They can suck it.

Better exclusives. Not just better but new exclusives the PS exclusive lineup is getting old and repetitive. Sony also needs to stop pushing indies as hard as they have because it will eventually be the end of them.

Need an option for "incoming". Have some non military friends with a ps4, 2 military that have it. Most of my army buds got the X1. We're a pretty "Murcia, first" bunch. So like many Japanese, we buy the home company's console first. But aside from the soldiers that just want to play madden, cod, and big 3rd party games like arkham, many buy both. At least that I know. I think because we like gaming of course, and do not care about this bullshit war enough to deny ourselves great gaming. Now PC? I am trying to get my closest to get into it now.

Better exclusives for me. (And better 3rd party games)

My poison was Tearaway, The Order: 1886, Bloodborne, Mortal Kombat X, LittleBigPlanet 3, The Division, Skylanders Trap Team, and that rumored Sonic game. That's enough to justify the purchase for me.

I already want it and have money set aside to buy it.

I'm just waiting on Sony to release their Holidays SKU. I don't trust a non-Nintendo launch console.

Already convinced that getting a PS4 will be worth it in the long run. I have the cash but I don't really need or want one right now. Maybe by the holidays or when it gets cheaper or when a nice bundle comes out.

None to be honest. Nothing against Sony or the PS4, I just prefer the X1 for reasons:

  1. I prefer the controllers
  2. I prefer the exclusives
  3. Better Online infrastructure
  4. All Multiplats are covered

I own a PS4 along with a Wii U and Xbone.

Even have 3DS, Vita, 360, PS3, Wii, and classic consoles too.

The battery life is discustingly weak. About 7-8 hours of none stop gaming. Compare that to like 40 hours of non stop gaming for the 360 pad.

Don't get a Wii U, that Tablet dies super fast in comparison.

I got the Wii U at launch and the Tablet controller will die before the 3-4 hour BBQ party ends. People are having fun in the livingroom playing Wii U and come in the Backyard to tell me the controller died in the middle of the party. Just a heads up.

Yes, I like it too, but when it comes to controller battery discussions I gotta mention that issue has popped up quite a few times. I never had that problem with the Wii last gen.

It's interesting when talking about social games systems as that's sort of a thing Nintendo focuses on, yet the Wii U has this weakness. Such is the price of that Tablet screen.
