Selling the PS4

I'm getting to that point now of selling the PS4. It's barely had any use since launch. I've always loved Playstation but there's nothing that interests me at the moment or planned for the rest of the year :-(

I have plenty to play on the PS3 to be honest, but will I regret it?!

    Yep. You'll only end up rebuying it.

    Unless you need cash, keep it.

    If you get a great price for it then why not. If you don't then tougher decision.

    why did you bother buying it so quickly for launch:confused:

    surely you must have known the score by now consoles launches are always slow it takes a good year or so before things truely kick off

    its only been out for what 7months out of what could possibly be 5-6 years or more worth of games

    Vita all over again, huh? It's like the gaming equivalent of "your eyes are bigger than your belly..."

    As already said, keep it unless you need the cash. You'll only end up buying one again and, in the long run, throwing money away unless you somehow manage to at least break even every time you sell something...

    Went through a stage of wanting to get rid if mine a month or so ago but then I had a break for a week, bought Infamous & I'm happy with it again. Trials Evolution is getting bought this week and next month it's Watchdogs & UFC

    Trials eh.. I was looking at that on Amazon. Is it just a biking game? What's the story with it??

    If it's anything like the one I had on 360, it's basically just a while load of obstacle courses to navigate on a dirt bike, getting high scores & trying to tip your friends scores/times. Very addictive & is one of those games where "one more go" ends up being two hours later

    I didn't notice. I knew what you were on about. I'll keep an eye on it.

    Depends if games like watchdogs interest you next gen or last gen. Lots of the games getting released at this point are multi-platform so will be available on PS3. Only you know if you need to money back.

    I have both ps4 and xbox one and the ps4 gets very little use. I guess it was an impulse buy. I won't sell it though as I don't wanna rebuy a ps4 when something I want comes out on it.

    Hey, is this the thread where we complain about the first year of a new console sucking because that's NEVER happened before right? ...right?

    Honestly, go with that gut instinct, sell it, because it's that same instinct that caused you to buy it in the first place without doing proper research. If you was expecting like a new major game every month and for PlayStation Plus to be giving you all the latest PS4 titles for free, you're pretty much off the mark.

    And when PS3 loses developer support what happens then? "Oh I wish I kept my PS4".

    I'll give you £50 for it. Not that I want one yet as there's no games I want to play, but ya know, rainy day an' all that.

    I can't understand why people are constantly whinging on about the ps4 having no games because I've got that many I don't know whether I'm coming or going & that doesn't even include the free ps+ titles! :confused:

    (Bought Lego movie & hobbit via digital download on Friday!) :)

    Keep it. Put it in a cupboard anything but sell it. It's got a future.

    I think it's exclusives people complain about. I buy most of my multiplats on xbox one and Killzone and infamous didn't really do anything for me. I bought Thief on ps4 but I find the game a bit boring.

    Chuck it to one side until something you really realy want to play comes out on it.

    I finished ACIV last week on it and now it's back to gathering dust for now as I'm finally giving AC3 on the PC a go - found it boring before but now I know the combat moves Im actually enjoying it!

    I've considered selling my PS4 on numerous occasions but deep down I know I will regret it so it stays.

    If you have both why would you buy multiplats on Xbox 1 :confused:

    Now let me make it clear i'm not one of those that hates the X1 in fact be getting one within a few months but when i do have both I can't imagine looking at a shelve in a game shop knowing there is a difference between the two games even if its as small as resolution and then paying the same price for the technically worse game, i couldn't even use the controller as an excuse (if its more comfortable) because a third party one that is the same will eventually end up on PS4

    Just sell it and stop with these whining threads. You said ages ago that you bought it as you had the money available and might not have it later on so I don't know what you really expect.

    I bought mine almost purely because I wanted to play BF4 with 64 players and that's pretty much what I've done. I'd like more games too but I probably would still fall back into BF4 anyway.
