So throughout my life I have been an avid gamer.

Since the Nintendo 64, all the way up to the current generation consoles I don't really have a loyalty to any
Platform as, Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox all have amazing title's and feature's with all their console's, games.

This time though I am going to wait out the storm, i.e release day, as multiple masses of fans gather around their
local gaming shops in comparison to '' Bee's with Honey '' it may be certainly sweet to get the PlayStation 4 on it's Official release day, date a day to remember and I understand that.

However, with every launch day comes the launch day console, with that in mind there comes 1st Generation release problems as well.

The first wave.

Launch day consoles, or the first wave of next generation consoles always have issue's as we have had to learn
the hard way for some, it is to be expected as they are the first of their kind.

An example of this would be the '' 40GB PlayStaion 3 '' I purchased one on release day all the way back in '' 2006 '' about 6 months later, it got '' YLOD '' to my dismay, I returned it to
GameStop, for about a half an hour tried to return it to get it fixed with my '' Warranty '' finally they excepted.

Happy ending wright ?, nope got my fixed PS3 back a week later, then this time 6 month's later the same thing
happened '' YLOD '' I couldn't believe it, at this stage I was epicly pee'd off, brought it back again but my
Warranty had run out, they said '' 250 $ to fix it '' money I didn't have at the time.

So a lesson learned a lesson indeed, that lesson was '' don't rush wait '' so this time around I am going to
wait.

As I don't want to spend 400 $ on the console another 120 $ on two games and lastly 60 $ on a second controller.

The total 580 $ which is a lot of money, may not be to some but for the average guys paying bill's supporting a
family and so on it is especially during these times where its hard to find work.

So i am waiting this one out to see all the issues this current Gen might have and also there's a price drop every
quarterly.

Does anyone here at NextGenUpdate feel the same way has anything like that happened to you before, I'd love
to know.

Thanks for reading and have a good day guy's.

Here's your solution. 2006-next gen consoles took a super leap, and experienced massive hardware problems.

2013- newer gen technology fixes those problems. DICE said its ashamed that these two new next gen consoles didn't make a much more improvement graphics wise, but to be an average gaming console to be affordable, you have to balance them out.

I'm a console gaming guy. Fuck PC gaming. I use the Internet to learn shit, look up things, waste time, NOT to play video games.
These systems are improved. They're going to be both amazing and offer amazing hardware features. As far as problems, I foresee maybe a select few that will be software related and fixed within the first week of arrival.

I feel the same way. I have a powerful laptop with 8 GB of ram, 1 TB HDD, 3.40 GHz for the speed and yet I use my laptop to use Xploder, Game Genie, mod PSPs, as well as run other programs. I don't use it to surf the internet because I have an iMac that I use to do that because iMacs don't get viruses. I've tried playing PC games before but a PC just doesn't seem like it's meant to play games. It also doesn't make any sense to me to buy controllers to use on a PC because it's not really meant for controllers. I have always preferred consoles for games. I'll use my laptop to go to Gamefaqs and look at a strategy guide while I'm playing a game on my PS3. I can't wait for the PS4! =D

I think I might wait it out and see how everything pans out. I don't like jumping the gun. I made that mistake with the Wii U and PS Vita.

I think that Nintendo is going to go the way of Sega. I haven't bought a Nintendo system since the N64. Nintendo was good back in the day but they just aren't relevant anymore. I would love to see Nintendo become a software only company just like Sega and I would love to play some of the classics on the PSN. Awesome face

The PS Vita is going to make a comeback. Sony is really pushing for it to be a PS4 controller. I plan I buying the Vita once there is a good RPG on the PS4 that uses it. I would love to play Fallout 4 using the Vita as a controller.

I don't see that happening with Nintendo considering that their 3DS is doing exceptionally well. Their mistake with the Wii U was an identity crisis, bad marketing, bad launch line up, and lack of 3rd party developer support. It has potential it just doesn't have anything to really show for it yet.

I don't like the idea of the Vita being used as a controller. I didn't pay all that money for a Wii U gamepad knock off. Much like the Wii U the Vita has suffered the same. I am however looking forward to some games for the Vita such as Killzone, Tearaway, and Batman Origins Black Gate. However, if they can implement the usage of the Vita to enhance certain games I wouldn't mind that like what they did with Sly 4. I could see the Vita being used as a pipboy, but to be marketed as a PS4 controller and stop game development for it to be just an alternate controller. I would not like that at all. It has a lot of potential, and with the price cut it is now as much as the 3DS XL all they need is some more AAA titles.

In Flames Much?
Going to wait due to the lack of games. Along with hardware needs more killer apps. Sony has won.my wallet so far.
