(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The PlayStation 4 hit shelve's November 15 which was not to long ago at all, as it's the
January 16th today it has been officially been released for two months.

I have been reading on multiple, gaming site's not only on NextGenUpdate that owner's of the PlayStation 4 are, disappointed, bored and feel that they'd rather go back and play there previous generation consoles.

Why is this ?.

In what I have read, they feel there is more 'Game's' on there previous generation console
a larger, 'friend's list', as most of their friend's haven't gotten a next generation console, that
they are not stuck with a 'few game's' and have more option's.

Would this be correct ?

For the time being, 'yes', however down the line we will, see more and more people / Gamer's
make the switch to a next generation console, in turn making everything above ''Voided' and with that
time' we'll see more games being released for the next generation console's as well, giving more choice to the masses.


The PlayStation's Full Potential

We will, see the full benefit's of the PS4 not at launch but a bit later on, when the 'developer's' start to take the full advantage of the machine and it's 'capabilities'.

When a next generation console is created, the 'Awesome faceev's' always ensure aspect's that can be built on in the machine's architecture that can be improved, allowed to evolved during the console's life span as we seen with the PS3's remarkable 'The Last of Us'.

As developer's become more familiar with the PlayStation 4' architecture they will be able to retrieve the maximum capability' with new technique's, not only for game's but for third party software's etc.. in learning the core's the GPU and CPU, meshing them together to get the
best result's in game's audio in said game's the operating system update's and again third party software's.

The PS3 didn't take full advantage of it's core capability's until about 'two years' after it's initial release with example's being 'Bioshock' an immersive fps / role playing game with stunning graphic's for it's time, 'Awesome faceead Space' a title we'll always remember for its graphics and game play, 'Fallout3' a truly beautiful, action packed free to roam game which is classically known today.

What does this all mean to you/me ?.

We have not yet, to experience the best that is to come and with patience we'll appreciate all the benefit's the 'devs' and the 'PlayStaion 4' can bring us,


So I hope this opened up some of you to the magic that's to come thanks for reading and i'd love to hear your
thought's on this subject.

KillZone ShadowFall certainly show's off some very nice visual's but with coming game's like Thief and WatchDog's
and even more to come I can say we're going to be in for a treat.

Destiny is the one game I'm holding out for. I think after it's release I can finally give a farewell fuck you to Call of Duty.

I'm still enjoying PS3 thanks to the free games they're releasing on PS+
Earlier in the week I finished Far Cry3 & Grid2 apart from the 5k trophy in Jetpack and the DLC's in Fifa09/10 - I have finished every game & DLC on PS3 - then they release Dead Space3 for under $10, then they release Bioshock Infinite on PS+, haven't started Wolf Among Us or Remember Me, there's 4 more episodes of Walking Dead Season2, DLC for The Last of Us and I'm sure DLC for GTAV.

Point is there's plenty of life in the old dog.

Saying that I re-visited Killzone Shadowfall today and by God does it look good.

Climbing up the ladder
this is same thing with every system to date ...
it just takes time to master the hardware - nothing more.

Same as always ...

Of course PS4 doesn't have much to it, it has almost no games right now. Give it about a year or so though, since more games are coming out in the coming months. Switching over too fast isnt very smart.

IMO it's a smart idea to start getting PS4s now, current games are awesome to give a go, especially BF4, with 900p @60 fps and 64 players, a huge improvement over current gen, but if you're looking for games to play with your friends you're gonna have to be patient, my advice would be add new people who already have the PS4, wait till your PS3 friends get PS4 or come back every once in awhile like everyone is doing, and wait till new games come out, Watch Dogs is not too far from release, it'll be interesting to see how the first big open world next gen game stacks up against GTA V, obviously should be smoother with superior graphics as it is a next gen game, however it is cross platform meaning it might not use all of its potential.

There are a lot of up and coming cross platform games in the works. So that's always nice, it might change the mentality of people who are prone to insult another's console, or PC. The titles I'm talking about are also big name titles, so it will be interesting to see how things play out. Not to mention the whole streaming service of the PS4, but they still have to fix the issues with the PS4 right?
