Keep my PS4 or get a Wii U?

Not everyone's interested in playing a horror game for the claustrophobics aka bloodborne. But I definitely suggest keeping the ps4 while buying a wiiu since there are a decent amount of good games coming for both.

While his statement was a bit ridiculous, having DLC doesn't mean the company's just as bad.

Now if you want to bring up the AC adapter with the n3DS XL, then you might have a point. But so far Nintendo's DLC plan (outside of Fire Emblem) has been more than fair.

Link is cool but two more Mario/Peach characters with different costumes? Bleh

"Wii U is for 5 year olds"

" Wii U gets boring quick"

Keep it up guys!

I like how you left out the one about Nintendo being the only company that cares about gamers lol

Dude, read post #73 before saying anything. Appreciated.
Why don't you try to return the high end rig instead of scraping together a few peanuts by selling a console? You could mention the reasons for your financial difficulties in the opening post so that you don't come across as the typical irresponsible consumer who buys things they can't afford.

The point still stands, don't buy and resell consoles if you are having financial difficulties. If you are truly in a bind, get rid of the PS4, but don't go out there and buy a WiiU. That is just dumb.

Stop selling, reselling, buying, rebuying consoles.

You are losing money in the long run by going back and forth. Stick to what you have, save a bit more, and buy a second console then.

Otherwise you will be in the same situation once the market shifts again and you want to play a new game you can't find elsewhere.

This is so true. When I was a kid I repeatedly swapped between Game Boy Advance, PSP, Gameboy Advance SP, PSP, DS, PSP.. I lost count how many times I swapped. I was young and silly and probably lost hundreds of pounds that would have been birthday/christmas money at the time.

Unless you are desperate for the Wii U line up, I'd say wait and save a little so you have both. But I do highly recommend the Wii U catalogue :)

Yes it is extreme. On the one hand, we have the "Nintendo is kiddy" folks, and then we have you, the "Nintendo loves us" crowd. They're both kind of gross to be honest.

Why gross? And the kiddy opinion is the classic troll, it's fun. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will know the Juvenile systems are those with the majority of macho power fantasy experiences.

Keep the PS4 as it is just beginning to come into its own and start saving up for the WiiU so you will have money to buy this summer just before Xenoblade. Zelda and Splatoon get released.


Plus there is a very good chance of a price drop or more generous bundles getting announced near E3.

So is PS4 if you don't like Sony IP's :p

People who say this sort of thing dont even know whats coming up in 2015.

More than half the games coming out that are Playstation or console exclusive are from third parties. With a huge amount of first games too.

I just personally find having a PC and a PS4 redundant, hence why my desire to get a PC is limited only toward a few certain games i want to play in higher quality.

Not true. I Don't really care for most of Sony's first party stuff, but they actually get substantial third party support.

Tell me about all these 3rd party games on PS4 you can't get on PC.

I'm sorry to break the news but console exclusives is not a thing outside of the usual PR fanfare GAF likes to eat up. Especially not in a thread where OP asks advice and has a more powerful PC than PS4 anyway.

You're just as pathetic as the people you're mocking.

And what's gross? What's gross is the "Nintendo loves me " bullcrap. Nintendo doesn't give any more of a crap about your existence than any other corporation. You are important to them in so far as you provide them revenue. The end.
Indeed. Critics may deride region locking as anti-consumer but it is done out of a sense of paternalism, it's for our own good. A parent can respect their child but still set boundaries for them.
Lol.

Indeed.


...and small, obscure titles like Bloodborne coming out soon.
 
I was trying to keep the list to games that have a 2015 release announced or are at least very likely to release this year. As far as I know there's never been a timeframe for Rime given and I wouldn't be shocked if it slips to 2016.

I could see it getting delayed further, but as it stands right now, Rime is definitely scheduled for release this year.

In my case, 2014 GOTY aka Guilty Gear Xrd and Persona 5.
Da fuq is that. Never even heard of it.

guys, I'm fairly new in the neogaf thing.

why exactly are people fighting each other over the recommendations they are giving?
If I recommend him a PS4 and I list a couple of reason and someone else point recommends a WiiU, I don't have any reason to be upset with him and try to trash his opinion.

it's not like I have any personal benefit of Sony selling an extra piece of hardware.

Does it always turn this "personal"?

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
Can you think of a second one you can bring up with a straight face? Persona 5 is the obvious answer, yes.

You didn't say not too mention Persona 5, I was just getting the ball rolling.

That's entirely personal and I had (have) my reasons to avoid talking about it. And believe me, I really don't care about what someone thinks about me outside the scope of my questions, especially on an Internet forum.

I'm not reselling consoles ad infinitum. The Wii U was almost a gift. But I miss it, and my PS4 has been collecting dust lately, so the whole thread point circles around this.

But thanks for the answers everyone, will probably keep the PS4.

People really like the things they like. You'll get used to it.

Go one..... I have a PS4 and I haven't been following anything so I would actually like to know whats coming out this year. Not sure if its off topic or not but sure it will help OP decide.



I really detest even veering close to "list wars", but what I personally have my eye on off the top of my head:

N++
Ys
Disgaea 5
Helldivers
Until Dawn
Rime

Da fuq is that. Never even heard of it.

And this is why I try to stay away from it.

Consoles are serious business to these people.

Very serious.

If by imaginative you mean retreads of the same games you've played before.

WiiU games are good mind you, but imaginative? Come on, be real.

Your right...Nintendo has been recycling the same concepts they have been for the past 30 years or so. But that doesn't mean they arent very amazing experiences that everyone should play. Indeed, i'd say NOJ has the midas touch in gaming.

I may not care so much about owning the games or the Wii U(on a set of scales i had to prioritize, and i chose PS4), but i will say that Nintendo can bring the quality.

That too, ps4 might have a drop too though, and significantly less chance of a hardware revision. And IMO the current ps4 form is a bit too big.

Haha....this may be the first time I have ever heard someone say this. Not that you can't feel this way, but I just find the PS4 to be crazy small for what it is.

Is that really all the PS4 exclusives coming this year? For some reason I thought there was more. Or does the 3rd party support really make it seem like the PS4 has that much more coming this year?
No, there's other stuff like Until Dawn, Tearaway Unfolded, Rime, Salt & Sanctuary, Axiom Verge, etc. Plus expect a ton of localization announcements, like we just saw with Toukiden.

Are you being serious right now?

I don't think it's very wise to sell systems. If I buy a console, I'm sticking to it. So I don't believe you should sell your PS4. Bloodborne could be the next Dark Souls 1. Do you really want to miss out?

And it might not be. If it's good I'll get it when the PC port happens or when the PS4 is at bargain bin price levels, whichever happens first.

I'm patient.

No one gets mad over the recommendations as long as the reasoning is sound and based on the OP's best interests, and not the poster's own personal preference.

Good recommendation:

"OP your PC will play ~ 75-80% of the titles released on PS4 in 2015, if you really don't think you'll use it then get a WiiU"

Bad recommendation:

"PS4 has hardly any good exclusives coming, sell it"
