Zeehunter Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 whats the use of having bc on next gen when you still want to play so many current games...you getting my point...look next year we have GTA5,tomb raider,darksiders 2,the last of us,ff13-2,assassin creed 3,mass effect 3,tlg(hopefully),devil may cry hd collection as well as new dmc,asura,ninja gaiden 3,neverdead,silent hill downpour,new kojima game also hopefully plus many others i may be missing ..these games are enough for us to last a long time...and i believe you still have lot of other games to cover also that has already been out....you will be just spending more money nothing else ....by the time new games starts taking advantage of new hardware it will already be 2014.....you will just be paying more for same stuff initially.... The new console is bc then I could play those games The games releasd on early years of Xbox 360 utilized the hardware much bettr . Only PS3 faced tht problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 BC is important to have, doesn't matter how many new games you get. Earlier this week, had a relative at my place, we played Top Spin and Virtua Tennis 3. He wanted to play Halo 3 as well, but we didn't have that much time. These are the games I am done with, long back. 2-3 years down, lets say I get new Uncharted and want to revisit UC2, it will be bummer if the new console doesn't support it. I may keep PS3 with me but who knows it may die down by then, but games will stay with me... Have this apprehension mainly for xbox, the game library I have for the console will simply be useless if the BC is not there and console dies, I am way past my warranty, so don't think MS would be generous to give me a new one again, after a year or two. Edit: This rumor about 2nd SKU for casual gaming should be interesting, MS could experiment with 360 in its last year. Bring in open marketplace like itunes/AMP, allow devs to set the pricing themselves, allow self-rating, reduce the requirements...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devil_angel Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I second BC. It is indispensable. Just because this gen's consoles made a joke of it doesn't mean we have to suffer HD collection-like market-manipulative experients each gen.

Right Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Never buying a MS console at launch, ever again. Indian launch will happen at least 6 months after the US launch, and that should be sufficient to have the disaster management in place, 3-yrs warranty et cetera.

Karooo Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 ^Times have changed. It will most likely take as much time as it took the Slim to get here. Max 2-3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playstation Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I dont get it. People buy mobiles for 32 thousand and not consoles? So much for your passion. not everyone buys Rs 32k ka mobile..infact just the other day was talking to someone about high end mobile phones and told him how awesome graphics look on new hi end mobile sets ..and he himself told me that i rather buy playstation than buy such expensive mobiles to play games..

I'm still looking forward to 3 yrs warranty. Well, early adopters always get shafted on pricing, but that is the price you pay for getting it early. There were people who bought PS3 for 599$, 5 yrs back it was huge price tag, iphone wasn't even launched then. I don't think new consoles from Sony or MS could cost less than 300$ for entry level one, being conservative, the top-model could be easily 450-500.

Yeah, I hope they cram as much tech as possible, and have a high end model costing at least $500. Microsoft will surely go with a dual SKU strategy, and who knows Sony may do the same. Considering its been almost 7 years, I hope the graphical leap is huge. I'll buy both the consoles day 1, though. May skip WiiU. I just pray MS launches soon, so that I can resist the Wii U haha.

Karooo Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 :| So is a console for a gamer? Mobiles have much better acceptance, especially in the family. It's simple, really. You may also get games or additional things like movies which will make your investment on a console more expensive in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
