Should I sell my PS4?


Poetic Justice

Recommended Posts

So, yea. The title pretty much says it all. However, I have a pretty bad habit of doing stuff like this on a whim and regretting it down the road.

So, here is where I am at right now--

I have a PC. It is a powerful PC. I game 99% of the time on my PC.

The only game I play on my PS4 is Destiny, and even then, it's only on Saturdays so I can help with the events.

The only game I am really looking forward to on the PS4 is The Order 1886, besides that, every game I want is also coming out for PC, and I do have the hardware to run it.

 

And at the end of the day, if I really want to play a PS4 game, I have friends who own the PS4, and I could simply go to their house and game there.

 

Really, the only thing stopping me is the fact that my job allows me to check out games for 3 days for the systems.

For obvious reasons, I cannot do that for PC.

 

What do you guys think? Should I hold onto my PS4 for a little while longer, or jump ship now and get the money from my PS4 to upgrade my PC.

I think Xbox has better exclusives but personally this generation of consoles have been a let down I'm staying with the Xbox 360 then moving to PC but unless you are completely bored of it I would say keep it

Yea. By next year, 4k will be standard resolutions. The PS4 and Xbox One will never have that happen.

yeah, they didn't build these machines to last (because AAA's are asshats) and nintendo knew that if your plan is to make good games, things will work out.

 

I think there might be a 8 1/2 generation with the PS4.5 and the Xbox One and a half

I say keep it. If you have a bad habit of doing this stuff then regretting it later, I suggest you don't make the same mistake again. You'll get good games eventually anyway!

I don't buy into console wars or pc masterrace. I look at it this way, if there are gonna be games for it , like order 1886 and others(i personaly love the infamous series)i say keep it. But if it's gonna collect dust and you're not gonna miss it, sell it now while the asking price is high.

You know, guys, he said in the OP that he plays PC much more and there are only two PS4 games that interest him. I doubt that keeping it is really worth it.

I see that "PC Gamer" Signature...but I am sure that has nothing to do with you saying to get rid of the PS4 ^.^

But yea, that's the big thing. I looked into exclusives coming out. All the ones that I wanna see are just rumored.

Yeah, has nothing to do with it. I don't really find much of a point in investing into something for just one or two games, doesn't really seem like a good use of money to me regardless of it's a PC or not.

To be honest I've been thinking of trading in my ps4 and vita to get an Xbox One. Tired of PSN going down every week. PS Plus is a joke. And like the Wii U which I own, Xbox One seems to be getting better exclusives.

Yeah there has to be a half step, otherwise steam box's will clean house if they get done at a semi decent price point.

 

The PS4 seems to be the better of the 2  at the moment but even then its limited by the xbone unless the game is exclusive. 

 

Currently the wii U seems to be the best overall :P Games that are fun and run well haha!

If this was the Xbone, I would have said keep it.

 

You see, Sony is in financial troubles right now. So, they're sort of desperate

 

and desperation makes great consoles (Dreamcast)

So, yeah, keep the thing. You're gonna see a lot of good non-PC games.

I consider myself to be a fairly neutral gamer in terms of Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/PC, so I'll weigh in.

 

The reason to own any piece of entertainment equipment is what it can do for you. The PS4 can do many things, but everything it does outside of gaming can be done by dozens upon dozens of other products, so gaming's what to focus on.

 

The reason to have, say, a Playstation instead of an Xbox, or a PC, is what you can play on it. 

 

If you have a PC, you have access to almost everything out there. And in terms of "exclusives", PC wins. No questions asked. The PC has WAY more games that you can't get on console than the other way around. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to do their research.

 

That being said, quality over quantity, yes? Having exclusives only matters if they're exclusives YOU want to play. You want to play The Order: 1886. And Playstation exclusives have a history of not getting ported to anything else ever. So. How much do you want to play it? Does that outweigh the benefit you gain from selling your PS4 right now? Currently, the release date for The Order is set for less than 3 months from now. Is waiting until then, playing it, THEN selling your PS4 an option you'd consider?

 

If there's nothing you see past The Order that's been confirmed that you want to play, the question I'd be asking myself is this. "What are the odds that something else I'll want to play will be coming along?" If the answer is not good, sell it. If the odds are at least decent, I'd suggest you keep it.

 

That's my two cents.

I don't own a PS4 yet, but I will say that every console has their exclusives, so you should probably hold on to it for a while.

 

Time will come and good games come with time as well.

 

The new Silent Hill game will apparently be a PS4 exclusive, if you are into that.

 

I WILL also agree however, that the PC is the master race after all, look at how good Steam is doing!
