The most interesting thing is that people are willing to run out and purchase first generation hardware. Which truly is a no no. Also, these next gen consoles won't have that much of a library because the majority of folks will still be on last gen consoles. So the support won't be as strong cause devs/pubs will still be making games for last gen (current gen)

Just like when folks ran out to buy 360s and created gamertags like "XBOX360!!!" but they were still playing Halo 2 online. LOL! Hilarious!

I guess I'm just the type to generally move on pretty quickly from last gen consoles, in fact it's usually immediately. I also don't really care about things like backwards compatibility.

The only console I've every really needed to keep was my N64, and that was mainly for OoT and drunk college sessions of super smash 64 (aka best version).

You're so philosophical. please adorn me with more pearls of wisdom.

Yup. Friends and I still bring out the N64 from time to time for some good ol' Smash Bros. Samus my main, Captain Falcon, Kirby, and Ness for the others. Goooooooood times.


Dust will survive just like the dust inside of my bookshelves. You can't get rid of it.

Those games are coming out around the holiday season, the top 4 coming out on release and they are free.

Haha LMAO. Too bad it has 20+ retail games on launch with a slew of them to come within the following 2 months which will begin the 2014 cycle.

Oh and it will have plenty of fun and good F2P games.

I was always Link even though he was pretty much crap. One roommate used pikachu and two others fox, needless to say I hated them (not really, but sort of).

And, obviously, new games never suffer from last-minute delays or problems resulting from being released prematurely (in order to meet the new console's launch date, for example), are never disappointing, never have bugs or glitches, and always live up to their pre-release hype (or are never over-hyped to sell the console), are never ported over from the older system with only minor upgrades....

Why do you think that video game forums are always filled with so much praise, and so few complaints?

And we all know, from experience, that new consoles are always flawless and work perfectly upon release, never crash, never overheat, and always exceed the expectations instilled in the consumers by their pre-release hype and sales-pitches.

We had a match where everybody was Pikachu and all you heard was "PIKA!" for the entire thing. It was lulzworthy.

...Damn Fox and his stupid reflector...

Yea It's not like the PS2 died when the PS3 was released ...

OH WAIT

They dropped support for it around holiday season of 2011. Officially dropped it last year.

The PS2 was great, the PS3 was just better.

you are correct, new games almost always have bugs, however, most of those previously listed do not take over a year to fix bugs and their patches actually work unlike the ones we endure here on moldy pizza crust 514

That is the problem i see... PS3 HD is actually not that bad, and honestly i personally can't see a huge difference from 720p to 1080p... in many ways the PS4 is not Groundbreaking as far as technology goes... just a cheap gaming computer. To me next gen consoles haven't arrive yet... I think 3D or Virtual Reality IS the next gen consoles... maybe 5 years from now.
