Having Second thoughts...

I currently have a preorder for PS4 with Watch_Dogs, Call of Duty & Driveclub. News of delays to Watch_Dogs & potentially Driveclub mean that I'll only have the Call of Duty to play for a few months.
I'd prefer to have the PS4 due to exclusive studios like Naughty Dog, although I don't know when they'll bring out a game for it, but the new Xbox is looking quite appealing as it'll have games available right away that I'd like to play (Forza, Dead Rising, Ryse, Call of Duty, and soon to be Titanfall)
The people I game with are basically split 50/50 on which one they're getting, so getting the one my mates are getting is a puzzle too!
I have a Vita that I don't play that much and about 5 months Playstation Plus left (was getting Driveclub as it has a free period of PS+ with it)
If I was to go for the Xbox One, I'd have to get Gold, pay more for Kinect that I have zero interest in and a play and charge kit just so I'd have roughly the same as what I'll get with PS4.
I don't have a console except Vita just now. Should I still with PS4 and wait it out (Don't like Infamous games or Killzone either) or switch to the Xbox One (Don't like Halo or Gears of War!)

Or you could be sensible and wait for the next gen to establish itself with more games and get a PS3 or 360 in the meantime.
I was disappointed in the as of yet unconfirmed rumour of Driveclub been delayed and came close to cancelling the my preorder. I could quite easily get the launch games except Killzone on my current systems cheaper. However I decided what the heck - just keep the preorder as its already paid for and get on with it.
Only having Knack and Killzone at launch is disappointing however theres F2P games there as well which is ok.
Of course BF4 and COD online will keep me busy until Feb!
But, what I like about PS4 is the amount of stuff we'll be able to get our hands on without spending an extra penny.
Thanks to PlayStation Plus you'll definitely have Resogun to download and if the rumours about DriveClub do turn out to be true I'm sure there will be another game offered to replace it.
Also, there's the free-to-play stuff. War Thunder, Blacklight Retribution, Warframe and DC Universe Online will all be sitting there ready for the taking.
I'll personally be getting Flower and Escape Plan for free too, as I already own them on PS3 and Vita. Sound Shapes and flOw will also be available to any previous buyers.
Finally there's The Playroom, playable for anyone with a camera.
So, all in all, even though I've only currently got Killzone on pre-order I'll have 10 games to play with as I'm waiting for the releases to start rolling in. Plenty to keep me occupied.
Alternatively, sell the Vita and any games you have, cancel the PS4 preorder & blow it all on an XB1! Once PS4 is out, you'll get a PS3 for cheap to use your Plus subscription on free games, then get a PS4 when the other games are available.
Only Forza interests me on XB1, the rest are 3rd party games, so I'm going to hold out.
Sorry not much help!
The above is quoted for truth.
If two games you're really looking forward to are delayed, wait. Use the time to perhaps play the games yourself in the shops (when they get demo booths) - maybe play them if your friends get them? Either way, if you're not completely decided, don't spend your hard earned only to be rewarded with buyers guilt.
Personally, I was going to get WD and DriveClub, but there's also a few other games out there, both full price and indys that I'm really looking forward to.
Cancel your orders if your not, hold out and get it sometime next year when more games are released for it
I'm having a ball on PC at the moment, mainly indie titles, games that can't be played anywhere else, this will see me through until the new consoles are nested in and the games are doing there bidding and not all the pre-launch bull**** where reading now.
2nd Party.
No...
Did you mean the games that interest you are third party or all the games are third party?
A lot of the X1's exclusives are 2nd party not third party:)
Question - are you sticking with what you have for now or going for the "next gen"?
Still in two minds - I know if I didn't bother the must have tech gremlin in my head will be nagging constantly!!!!!!
I'm going for the Ps4. I want the full experience of BF4 so it's the worth upgrade to me. Just the release to hurry up, and see what Shopto do about my watchdogs.
Ok cool.
BF4 on it is something I'm looking forward to as well
The only exclusive I want is Forza, the rest don't appeal to me at all. The only other games I'd get for the X1 would be Watch Dogs, BF4 and maybe AC4, Ghosts & FIFA which are third party games available elsewhere
Get what you mean now. The only X1 titles are want is Forza and Quantum Break. So PS4 for me lol.
Yeah can't wait for BF4, I'll probably get Ghosts too purely because I'm better at COD, and it's more pick up and play
If you have lots of friends on the Sony system that you play online with, then that's a different matter entirely.
(i get my bank interest in november so the X1 & PS4 are costing me nowt ... id probably wait til next xmas otherwise)
A sensible post on DS. What is the world coming to?:D
This is what I'm going to do. Just saw on Twitter that the Driveclub rumours were true and it's been delayed, so Forza will do for me!
I'm sure there will be plenty of desperate parents who thought they could just pop in to any shop and buy pushy Johnny his next gen console for Christmas.
I honestly have more than enough still to play this current gen. In fact I find it hard to believe that anyone is really that finished with this gen they need to rush out and buy any of the launch products?!
I mean it's not really looking like you have that much to play now ...
thats a great idea..exploit a parent...
or maybe you could just help somebody out who really wants one..:)
