lol wtf does credibility have to do with posting a news article? I'm not the one who made the vid. I just posted a link and video. lol So you need ME to watch the vid in order to form your own opinion?

No, but we'd think you'd watch the vid before you pass judgement that the "lens need to step out" when the video is saying something much different. It's confusing why you'd post the video and therefore promote a video that you have not even viewed

I don't believe I have ever joined a console generation within at least half a year of a console launch. Anyone who knows how the game works probably wouldn't buy either system on day1.

But next gen consoles have the ultimate game: The Waiting Game. Everyone must jump the bandwagon.

With so many games still multiplat (and some exclusives left on the PS3), I'm in no rush.

Meh. After 8 very long years of games running on DX9 era console hardware while DX10 has come and gone for DX11, a single day longer of current-gen consoles sounds about as much fun as stabbing myself with a hot screwdriver while watching Hillary Clinton do jumping jacks naked.

Just saying.

Build a gaming PC, wait for quality exclusives for the consoles. Dilemma solved.

Of the two, you'll have more games to play right away on PS4. Dunno if you want any of them, but there's more to be had.

Never since the days of PS1 has their been a good reason to buy a new console at launch IMO.

Bought a PS2 when GTA3 and FFX were out.

PS3 when Uncharted and COD4 were out.

PS4 maybe in late 2014 or early 2015 might catch my eye otherwise for now, not interested at all.

It's so easy to rush out and buy a system...But with the lack of games this year it's better to pick up a Wii U this year and a PS4 next year when more games start hitting.

I hate that dude he's such a douchebag and has no clue what he's talking about.

The whole reason to get a console is for exclusive games like killzone shadow fall not some crappy ass multiplatform game.

He raises some valid points. There really isn't a whole lot to play on either platform at the moment. With Watch Dogs being delayed, that was going to be my main reason for buying the PS4, I'm not sure if I still should.

multi or not, No body just buys a console for exclusives. They buy it for all the things it offers all around. HE was clearly pointing out that there is slim pickings for both console but specially for ps3 atm. Driveclub delayed, ps4 bundled canned,

Waiting for the real games to be announced is best. Not really into these terrible rushed launch games that are always forgotten like Ryse, Killer Instinct, and Knack. I'll get a PS4 in a year or two and enjoy the true next gen console.

It has to be about exclusives in this generation. Because the Oculus Rift will make the extra triangles on the new consoles feel old in the blink of an eye.

He's absolutely right.

Launches suck. There's always hype but it takes awhile for consoles to hit their sweet spot. Neither console has a "must have" exclusive. Unless you've just got money just burning in your pocket it is wise to wait.
