Honestly I don't get why the average consumer is buying the Xbox One or PS4 right now

[homiedontplaydat]

I was gonna buy a ps4 anyway and since I had the money I figured why not now

That and I had to have 2k14 and even with its issues it is way better than CG 2k.

breh, did you see any of those launch events with the first dude in line planning to buy the console and... uh... they couldn't even name anything besides COD

in general there's a rather large disconnect from those that closely follow this stuff, and the "average consumer"

the average consumer doesn't research their purchases now?
its only hardcores that know about ign??
i guess killzone and battlefield commercials during the nba and nfl commercials get overlooked.
taco bell is only frequented by hardcore gamers huh? breh please. its the information age. we are bombarded with it.....

 

[Human Torch]

Honestly, I just got that shyt cuz I could.

And im not mad. Cuz at worst the Xbox One makes my television experience more enjoyable

i wouldn't own a car if i couldn't afford to run it,

yet people creating humans they can't afford?

you're bombarded with hype

people buying it off the strength of promotional crap is pretty much what I'm talking about

people create humans because sex feels good. and those kids continue to exist whether or not their parents can afford it (for the most part )

this promotional crap that you speak of is information released about a product to the general public.
soooooooooooooo we should twiddle our fingers and wait for a non-existent install base to tell us their
opinions of said product before us rational purchasers should even consider it. b/c what the companies
are putting out there is just hype and crap and can never be trusted. that is absolutely brilliant.
be a gamer and discourage gaming brehs.......

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Cause people like buying new shyt

 

[tru_m.a.c]

So are we just going to completely ignore the spending habits that come with the holiday season?

people can wait for the more objective opinions of reviewers and such

in general people can demand better. why is everyone so complacent about a weak launch line up? if no one bought those consoles it would sure send a message that people want something better than a bunch of excuses about how both were "rushed"

isn't not having good games seen as one of the failures of the Wii U?

people can spend their money how they want. but that may not be beneficial in the long run to consumers, or the individual

i bought both.... because why would i wait?

this is the question i present to you

you would wait to send a message that the current state of the console and it's games aren't acceptable

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

you would wait to send a message that the current state of the console and it's games aren't acceptable

how is it not acceptable?

how would you know if you have neither?

dead rising3, fifa14, bf4, forza, killer instinct, I'm having ALOT of fun with these next gen games.
