No.
Neither current gen console is really worth getting.

Unless you really want to play Bloodborne, I guess.
>>
Wait for E3 at this point. What if the PS4K rumours turn out to be true huh???

Also, you'd see more games that might interest you. Keep being patient.
>>
>>333197752
Wouldn't they let you trade in?
>>
>>333197549

Nope it's gonna be phased out

If you must be a sonycuck at least wait for the next iteration to avoid being cucked like the other 40-50 million early adopters
>>
>>333197549
yes, or just wait for ps4k
>>
>>333197549
Not yet. Probably will be by the end of the year, unless a lot of upcoming releases end up shitting the bed.
>>
>>333197898
P5 will save the PS4.
>>
Only if you're a weeb or want to play fighting games online. In either case, there's barely anything until June. Even longer for weebs with a Vita.

You probably should wait until E3 to see if the PS4K is real.
>>
If you like the Souls series I guess. I bought one just to play Bloodborne, and while I don't regret it, I haven't touched it in weeks either.

The only games of value (as of now) are Bloodborne, TLOU Remastered (you could probably just emulate the PS3 version a year from now though), and PT. Ratchet and Clank and Nier Automata will be fantastic too, though, but you should probably just wait for the PS4.5 if you're on the fence right now.
>>
>>333197831
I don't see Sony doing it, Gamestop might. But if OP doesn't have a PS4 yet, there's no point. Waiting for PS4K now is what I'd do if I were him.
>>
>>333197549
just wait until the ps4k comes out
>>
>>333197549
- Bought a PS4 with the Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Gravity Rush, Deadpool bundle
- One week later, the PS4.5 rumors started
- Bought several games that are multiplats, most of them have PS3 graphics

I would definitely say no. The hit to your wallet is significant, and if the 4.5 rumors are true, Sony is going to have to either reduce the cost of games or improve PS Plus, because the entire gaming community has lost their patience with the company.
>>
I'm also in a similar situation to OP
I'm worried that the PS4s released now will become obsolete in their later years similarly to how early PS3 models couldn't run GTA V
>>
It is if you get it bundled with a game you like. Game consoles rarely drop in price until a new one comes out. I know PS4.5 was announced (of there are rumors about it), and that might drop the price by another $50 or so, but it's also a long time from now. If you're interested in getting one based on the games that are already out and the ones scheduled to come out, then get it. Waiting saves you very little.
>>
>>333199138
Even worse than that. It's damn near impossible to find one of the newer model PS4's in a bundle. They are still being packaged with the launch versions. The fan will randomly turn on during gaming, and whirs so damn loud that its sounds like a whistle.
>>
>>333199432
>Waiting saves you very little.
June is going to be a legendary month for JRPG releases. Not due to quality, but the quantity of JRPGs being released. At the same time, games that are solid $29.99 games are being sold from $59.99-$79.99. Waiting would result in a much fairer price.
>>
Ive put 400+ hours into bloodborne, it was worth it for me. uncharted 4 looks pretty good so I'll probably get that as well

if you don't want any of those youre probably better off waiting.

>>333199138
I have an original PS3 and it played GTA5 no problem.

Wii U is the only current console worth owning. NX could end up being backwards compatible so there's that to consider.

Wii U looks to be phased out right now


It still costs 300 fucking dollars

Depends on what your tastes are and if you already own BOTH a PS3 and a Vita. Either way wait for E3 for more info about PS4K

>OP asks for no PC memers

Yes

Ratchet comes out in like a week. Star Ocean V and Persona 5 suppose to come out this summer. FFXV in September. A nice stream of games in addition to the stuff we already have available, that being Bloodborne and Gravity Rush Remastered. Some anons like Street Fighter V, Until Dawn, and Tearaway, but I don't really care for those.

No next gen console except WiiU is.

Just get a PC senpai
>>
>>333197549
No. Seriously.
Get PS3 instead. Better library, free online, and better BW compatibility (PS1 games) on all versions.

If you got PC on top of that, you already got access to 99% of the titles out there.

Japanese games are all that's worth playing in the current industry.

Why can PCucks stay out of thread wholy unrelated to them in the first place?

I have a high-end PC, there nothing to play on it. Last game was XCOM2 and it was a bland unpolished mess, the one before that was a dragon's dogma 3 year old(?) port. 2 worthwhile games so far in 2016. Don't pretend like PC is in a good place now.

It's going to be a slim with support for 4k movies
>>
My friend has one, but he really doesn't use it for much of anything beyond Hulu, Amazon and Netflix.
I think the only games he even owns for it are Bloodbourne, Last of Us, and Arkham Knight.

I personally don't see the point, but I dunno.
Maybe in a year or something. Especially if the newer console upgrades rumor ends up being true.
>>
if you like sports games, bloodbourne, or uncharted then sure

For now, you're right.

I bought a PS4 last summer, and feel like I shoulda' just held off for another 1+ year.

And all the people I work with who have an Xbone and brag about how it's so much better than the PS4 only play FIFA.

Lesson: Don't be an early adopter.
>>
Unch4rted, Nioh, Ratchet and Clank, Nier Automata, Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, and that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm going to wait until next holiday season at the earliest before I jump in. Maybe even longer, I have an endless backlog the way it is and have plenty of classics to play like Divinity Original Sin, Dark Souls I and II, a host of RPGs, the Yakuza series, and tons of PS2 games so I'm probably going to wait a couple years unless the PS4 gets shat all over with gems but

I meant non F2P/MOBA/MMOs
There are barely any worthwhile releases

>>333205215
...ok? doesn't invalidate anything I said though :3c I have 2 new games to play between now and DaS3's release. This month alone I'm going to get 5 games
On PC I could only play DaS3

but hey have fun
>>
>>333201250
NX is apparently using cartridges instead of disks..
>>
If you don't have a PC already than it is worth it. A whole bunch of great games came out last year and plenty of good ones coming out this year.

If you do have a PC and are only looking for exclusives maybe wait a year or two.

That reminds me of one co-worker in particular.

He just gets high, talks to his and uses it for Hulu and FIFA.

I laugh every time he shits on PS without ever owning one because "muh console wars".

>>333200767
wii u is literally dead. save your money on anything else.
