Looking for advice:

Is there really THAT much of a difference in Xbox One/PS4 vs Xbox 360/PS3? Reading reviews, it doesn't seem so. The graphics aren't all that much better either. I'm looking to upgrade, but want to see if its worth the money now. Thanks

The games look better, and the exclusives will continue be geared toward the new systems. . .

I'll pick up a ps4 if I can get the remastered bundle with GTA V and last of us. Two excellent games. Otherwise, yeah you can wait.


Higher resolution, better graphics, but unlike other generations - gameplay isn't that different yet. Except I hear shadow of mordor on xbox 360/ps3 doesn't have the same nemesis system?!

Ive got both, and even though I still use my 360 a good bit, the One is worth it. And now, with the holiday price drop and the good bundles they have now, it's totally worth it.

The upgrade from a PS3 to PS4 was worth it IMO...the graphics are tight!!

As a previous owner of a 360, I can, without a doubt, tell you the Xbox One blows away the 360. The graphics are unreal on this console! The controller on the one feels better overall in my opinion.

Though there is technically this human fallacy where people look to self-confirm decisions. I.e. if you have a PS4 you better like the graphics, because you just spent $400 bucks on i.

The graphics are much better, but there haven't been enough quality exclusives to the new consoles that you can't play on old consoles to warrant the purchase of the new one.

Xbox 360 is cheap, and so are the games. Plus there's a lot of good games worth playing.

I'm going to wait another year before I pick up an Xbox1 since they often come out with a slimmer/improved version after 2-3 years that's usually cheaper.

I haven't owned a console since the ps2/xbox. this is an upgrade compared to them then. if you own a ps3 or 360 id say wait a bit. for me to get a 360 wasn't just practical since its slowly losing titles .

Keep telling yourself the graphics aren't worth it so you can justify not spending $400...

Then look at these screenshots from the PS3 and PS4...





Any questions?

Yes indeed. I have both and they are all the more reason to get a system. The graphics are much improved over the previous gen.
