PS4K and Xbox 1.5: Will You Buy Them?
PS4K and Xbox 1.5: Will You Buy Them?
It's pretty much official that PS4K and Xbox One and a Half will be coming soon with updated features, perfomance and 4K content capability.
The question is will you buy it and do you agree with this move from Sony and Microsoft?




I won't be buying it. At least, not right away. The game console cycles of yesteryear are changing. We won't be getting a new console every 4-5 years anymore. I think it's important that we start viewing game consoles the same way we view smartphones. We'll get an improved version every year, but that doesn't make what we currently have obsolete. Sure if you have the means to keep up with the latest hardware then by all means do, but if you fall into the more budget-oriented camp like I do then you can make do with the older tech for the time being. I'm still using an iPhone 5s which by some standards is ancient history, but it performs perfectly fine for my needs and is still supported with the latest software and applications. I suspect my PS4 will do just fine for the time being.
Maybe. Depends what other features they have. My main complaint with the PS4 is the cooling fan is SUPER LOUD so if they figured out how to quiet it down I'd upgrade for that alone.
It entirely depends on what features it provides. I've got an XO and a Wii U at the moment, and have had a PS4.
I'd enjoy a new console for the increased hardware specs, but if they are going the smartphone route then I'd wait for the year after to get a significant boost in performance. I also read a lot of rumours regarding XO and PC cross-compatibility and that makes me pretty excited, so that could potentially push me towards getting a console sooner.
One of the big issues I have with the PS4 and XO is that they have absolute garbage UI. Everything feels so cumbersome, finding games to play feels like a chore. Neither seem to put my game library at the forefront of their concerns and they're both pretty sluggish to respond to controller input.
I think E3 will have to make a few things very clear. We need a significant hardware jump, UI that focuses more on games/games libraries and interesting (and useful) side-features to make me jump headfirst into a new console.
But I will be getting the new Nintendo console, regardless. I am an eternal fanboy of Mario & Co.
im getting Xbox 1.5 lol
Well it looks like PS4 Neo might be coming for the holiday season this year! Xbox One gets a.slim version for this year with Xbox One Scorpio coming next year.
