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I am curious to know why people are still gaming on outdated consoles.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?

It's called bills sir.

2 RepliesMortgage; insurances; long-term care; kids, plus a job with 60+hours work week take priority financially and resource-wise. My 360 unit still works and lets me enjoy Destiny when I can. That's about the sum of it. If pricing comes down enough, it will be a something to consider down the line.

Would if I could, but not in the budget right now. I still enjoy my PS3, though...and I am sorry for you next-gen people who are being held back by people like me lol

I think the answer will always be just versions of the same thing: money.

2 RepliesAt first I refused to buy an Xbox One, figured out it wasn't backward compatible, I've invested too much in my 360 games to give it up... But now it will be, and I will be buying one asap...

Bad finances
-
Havent had the extra cash flow to upgrade, also hasnt been that many games ive wanted on the "Current" gen systems. If i can play Destiny on Ps3 why upgrade? To be fair though i am going to be buying a PS4 very soon, and not just cause Fallout 4 comes out on tuesday lol.

2 Repliesim on gameboy still, I can't afford a PS4 or x box one

Can't afford I want to upgrade but am trying to save up.

Too poor. Yea, i know its been 2 years and i couldve been saving up, but heres whats happened in those 2 years. I traded my wiiu for a ps3, because i started cod on the wii so i bought a wiiu. Hated it, so i got a ps3 since i couldnt afford a ps4. Parents got divorced, i now live with my mom in a shitty apartment, and she doesnt make that much money and all of it goes towards rent, bills, etc. I could get a ps4 this christmas, but now im debating if i even want one.

1 ReplyBills to pay, college tuition, food, gas money, rent, clothes. Minimum wage job with almost no hours because I barely have a chance to work with school. But asking my bro to have his ps4 this January. Sick of waiting 10 minutes to pop a synthesis.

I play destiny and a bunch of new games on my one, but I know a lot of the games I like on 360 won't be included in backwards compatibility. Its gonna be a list of like 100 to start or something like that, and lots of the racing games I like won't be moved over and I know this. So I keep my 360 just for those times when I wanna chill to some netflix and do some racing.

I'm not financially stable enough to afford it.
-
Went from a 360 to an Xbox One and ps4, took me a year but was worth it.

Waiting for the upcoming holiday package deals.

PS3 still has good titles and besides I don't want to pay $50 on psplus and on top re buying all the games I already own there. Ps: I'm unemployed rite now so...

Cuz I'm poor

Saving for a car and my 360 is working and in good condition. No need for an xbone or PS4 right now, so why waste money?
-
3 RepliesOnline is free on the PS3. That's it. It's much cheaper on the PS3. That's my only reason.

4 RepliesBecause most of my friends are still on ps3 i wouldn't have the grimore score or the fun times or the great gear without them

You would only need to start saving 50 cents each day 2 years ago in order to buy a console now. Not to mention you would get a bit more money here and there in order to make up for some you didn't collect one of the other days or you could just use that money to boost yourself up in general. There really is no excuse now even financially. If you really are even more broke than that you shouldn't even be playing Destiny on 360 nor be posting on the forums right now either. [spoiler]I'm just going to say now, if you respond with hate you'll just be proving my point even more by making excuses and I will be collecting your salty tears.[/spoiler]
