Still on Xbox360 or PS3? Why?
I am curious to know why people are still gaming on outdated consoles. With the addition of backwards compatibility to the Xbox One and the ridiculously low price of the systems now, why are people not converting? Also it is getting closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can pretty much steal a next-gen system..just saying.
I bought a day one edition Xbox One for $499, plus additional controllers. headset, games, charging adapters, for a grand total I don't even want to list. You can now buy an Xbox with 2X the hard drive capacity and in a limited edition skin for the same price, or cheaper. I know everyone does not have the same financial situation as me, but it seems odd to me that people are still on last gen consoles demanding all the new games and content added to the next gen. Its been just about 2 years now.
Also, on a completely unrelated note..Sony is introducing in-ear noise cancelling headphones for PS4..they look pretty badass.
Edit: if you have kids and a mortgage and a family to feed, your argument is 100% valid in my opinion, I never once said those things should come second to buying a new console. That's absurd. Family over everything.
This post is not meant to be solely related to financial constraints. Like I said before I understand not everyone has the same financial situation and I am fully aware not everyone can just drop everything and spend $500, but as frequent gamers the conversion to next Gen consoles has been known forever, and there is no way you can tell me you aren't able to afford a new system if you have played either for more than 1-2 years. Clearly you're able to keep funding that system, how is a new one any different besides the initial cost.
There was once a conversion from xbox and ps2 to Xbox360 and ps3, same situation as right now, technology changes every day why wouldn't you want to have the best possible experience with the most current technology. if you're spending enough time gaming to be on forums arguing your case, you're considered more than a casual gamer in my opinion and have spent more money than you care to think about in the process. Why not constantly update if you're going to be a constant gamer?

Christmas is a month away. Fallout 4 wasn't out when it was my birthday. Aside from Destiny, I play Halo Reach and Armored Core which can only be played on the 360. I got other things to use my paycheck on that are more important.
-
I'll be switching xbox1 soon. So I can get halo 5 and leave this game Behring.
-
Honestly I have both and I just [i]like[/i] playing on my ps3 more. The way it feels, the controller. I'm sure at some point I'll have no choice but to switch for good, but at the moment destiny is the only game I play and it looks and works fine for now. That being said I'm thinking about picking up fallout 4 which is ps4 so...
-
I have other expenses that I need to pay before a ps4. Real life comes first.
-
My friends and raid team is on 360

2 RepliesFinancial constraints. I'm taking care of my sick father (cancer). Medical bills are a bitch. Spending $400-$500 on a game is not going to happen. I rather spend the money on my father's well being and spend more time with him.

2 RepliesConsoles announced 3 years ago. Saving $10/mo over 36 mo. = $360 which could cover a console. People say I can't afford it or it's not a priority but yet they spend more on coffee or red bulls every month than $10! The only reason these people don't have next gen is because they don't know how to budget or save money. I have 3 kids, a wife who doesn't work staying home with those 3 kids, a car payment on a vehicle large enough to bus around the whole family + any friends my kids have over, house + utility payments, and student loans I'm paying off all on less than 30k/yr. Guess what, I have an xb1, have purchased all the destiny content at release ($140), and just picked up halo 5 last week. Several of my single friends game share with me so I get to enjoy other games too. Just pointing out that anyone who doesn't live in a box or is incapable of generating income can buy current gen consoles
-
I can't play most of my 360 games on my xbox one. Also, I still get free games on my 360. Why would I give that up?
-
Lol one of the few post on the subject where the op isn't a complete ass. Plan on upgrading as soon as I can afford it just moved across the country for work and its expensive af.
-
just a teenager who doesn't have enough money saved away yet
-
Well I can't really afford a next gen console right now :(
-
My Xbox one broke and I'm not getting a new one till later on this year
-
They can't afford it? Pretty common. But there will be a time to move on regardless.

What, are u spoiled or something?

4 Replies[quote]ridiculously low price all the systems are[/quote] Yea I don't know what family you come from but $499 is not very cheap

1 ReplyThere aren't enough new gen games that interest me enough to upgrade the console. Not worth it for 3 new games

6 RepliesJust dont have the money right now and i still play a lot of 360 games like reach

Why what's the point upgrading I have a PS3 and 4 but I see no reason to buy a ps4 version
-
I'm getting the battlefront PS4 bundle. I have been waiting for the game to come out, so I saw no point in getting a console before my other friends upgraded or the game came out. This way, I can buy the console myself, and I can get extra games for Christmas.

5 RepliesLow price? You say $300-500 is low? I don't think you've ever had to choose between eating and gas money before. I also need to get a new tire and to pay for another semester of tuition. So no, not everyone can afford it.

Edited by Gjallarhorn: 11/4/2015 9:37:28 PMI'm a poor college kid paying for tuition and don't have the money to buy a $400 dollar console when I barely have $500 in my bank. Ill get next gen when I get a job, I just want to have fun, graphical improvements don't make a game anymore appealing to me. As long as gameplay is fun and enjoyable, ill play whatever I want on any console. Gaming is my primary hobby so ill definitely pick it up at one point.

Edited by Swiftlock: 11/4/2015 9:48:04 PMActivision confirmed that [url=https://www.newsledge.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii-player-numbers/]12 million players[/url] have been active over the past three months in Black Ops II - a game that is only available on last gen consoles + PC. The 360/PS3 are far, [b]FAR[/b] from irrelevant, and it entertains me when people make these posts questioning why legacy consoles are still played.
