I was like just looking at the front page's recent posts section, saw this thread popped up, and replied to a comment I felt needed a reply. There's no stalking or personal vendetta here.

I was literally just correcting you and not really doing anything else.

Still if it's constantly decreasing, why not just include one for the console? The $50 difference in PS3s is the difference between a 250GB hard drive and a 500GB hard drive. 32GB is an absolutely terrible decision considering how "digital friendly" the console supposedly is. I mean games can reach theoretically 50GB in size (dual layer "proprietary Nintendo medium") and when your native hard drive can't even support a single one of those (hell it would struggle supporting a single full sized 25GB game with all the system updates and what not) then you have a huge issue on your hands.

I mean you pay $350 for the deluxe system and what, $50-$100 for a hard drive because odds are you'll need one if you actually want to have digital software in any reasonable manner?

It's just a really unwise decision to go "Look we're not the Wii! We're digital friendly!" and then slap you with a hard drive that's incredibly behind the times.

1. Does anybody really download retail games? (That's not rhetorical, I don't know)
2. At the moment at least, I don't think games are that big. Of course they're mostly ports from games that fit on a 360 disc (those were like 5GB, right?)
3. People complained about the price at $350. I imagine they would have gone insane over $400. Also, the PS3 itself was not profitable for Sony. They lost money on each console, then made it up with games.
4. Despite being large downloads, system updates don't take up that much room, since they replace titles.
5. A few years ago, $100 would buy you 60GB. Now it will buy you 1000GB.

I'm not saying they definitely made the right decision, but I can see their reasoning.

1) Yes. Playstation Plus.
2) You download a couple of retail gaems than space is going to be an issue. I have an 80GB PS3 and I am struggling with space. Now the premium Wii U has 32GB of storage, download a game like Tekken Tag Tournament 2 which is around 15GB than half ya storage it gone.
3) The PS3 was unprofitable because building a HD console in the mid 2000s was fucking expensive, not helped by Sony's fanciness for certain cell processor. PS3 production costs had decreased by 70% in 2009. Nintendo wouldn't have had such an expensive(or traumatic) development in comparison to Sony.

ps4 . xbox1 is really disappointing.

 

[ComeTurismO]

I have no idea how I got a deja-vu moment there.
If I liked the PS3, I'll like the PS4. However, when I saw a huge moment of the PS4's touch screen, it kind of reminded me of the Wii U.

 

[Satangel]

Ow, this is going to be so funny now

I'm really thinking of picking a Wii U up, if Mario Kart is done well enough (and the price is right). Really, that game.... Systemseller

 

[chavosaur]

I'm changing my mind to PS4.
E3 completely turned my mind around, and I'd say I'm making the right decision.
Still iffy about even holding onto my wii u though. Was not impressed by Nintendo direct in the slightest..

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

PS4 slightly over WiiU.
WiiU has a few games I really want to play but not much besides those titles.
PS4 has a bunch of games I want to play though.
WiiU also has a pretty cool controller and off screen gaming is nice but I'm still feeling the PS4 since I'm still mad about all that Wii shovelware.

 

[SuperSZ]

(I hope I don't get banned for that, just take it as a joke xD)

 

[Issac]

I voted for th PS4 because I already have a WiiU, and the PS4 is the most interesting of those I don't own already

 

[Danny600kill]

Now all the information is out there I am 100% for the PS4, it just seems like a more suitable option for me as I never really buy new games, I like to bu pre-owned, even if it only saves me a few quid.

Plus I like the fact that I can take the PS4 down to Wales when me and my mates go on our regular caravan trips, as there is no Wifi where we go

 

[lexarvn]

Wii U is what I want mainly. Probably will get a PS4 as well depending on what games don't end up coming to PC (I all ready have a decent PC).

 

[Ethevion]

I've changed my mind, I wont just stick with a PC. I'm definitely getting the XBone. No I'm not crazy XD. Forza, Spark, Halo, and some other games all interest me. I may also pickup a Wii U for Smash Bros. and X.

 

[Deleted member 329676]

I'm pretty happy with my Wii U for now, so it'll probably be awhile until I get another console. When I do though, it'll probably be a PS4. While I would say "definitely," a lot could change in how I feel about them once the consoles are actually released.

 

[emigre]

I know I won't be buying the Xbone. I don't approve of it's anti-consumer system so I won't buy it.

I''ll be going PS4 or PC next gen.

 

[EyeZ]

I'm in no hurry for a next gen console.

I do know Xbone won't be one of my purchases, i'll probably stay with PC until i feel the time is right for my next console.
