Is there a PS4 launch title that you absolutely positively must have now? I can't possibly fathom what it could be?
Build a PC, get a PS4 later once it has an actual library worth owning.
Doing both. I'm in the same situation. I'll buy the tower and everything,but the mobo, graphic card, and cpu and see if there is a sale later.
PS4 I don't have to worry about that so I'll get that while I'm building a computer piece by piece.
Probably wanna go with the PS4. It's a supercharged PC.
I have all the parts for a new PC lined up, which would cost me around $1200. On the other hand, PS4 is a much cheaper alternative and has console exclusives that really interest me, plus all the PC games I would end up getting ayway. I will end up getting PS4 at some point - the only thing that made me seriously consider PC is the impending death of my current laptop. I've never been a big PC gamer, but maybe now is the time to switch?
So, GAF, can you sell me on one or the other?
Also, nobody say XBO - I don't plan to get one anytime soon.
Go PC. PC will last you a long time, and Steam sales/Humble Bundle/etc. balance out the overall cost of gaming. Plus there don't seem to be any must have PS4 exclusives IMO. I will probably get one eventually though if FFXV and KH3 end up good.
with the money for one new game you can get like 10 for PC.
Stick with the PS4. Please.
PC gaming is a rabbit hole. Venture down if you want to fuss around with parts and which mods to get and when to upgrade your hardware... all while amassing an enormous Steam library filled with games you'll never have time to play.
And then you'll spend the majority of your time anyway here on Neogaf trying to convince others how sweet your rig is and how you only paid $700 for it and how anything less than 1080p 60fps makes your eyes bleed.
Life is way, way too short for that.
I am completely biased though because I don't care about having the best graphics and prefer controller play.
You're missing comfy couch
PS4 now.
PC in a year or two.
Games will not be getting any more advanced than what the PS4/Xbone generation can achieve.

The dawn of a new console generation is the worst time to buy a PC.

PS4 now.

Games will not be getting any more advanced than what the PS4/Xbone generation can achieve. So no point buying hardware 10x as powerful for 10x the cost.
Wait a year or two where you can buy a PC with 10x the power for only 2x the cost. Or a PC with 100x the power for 10x the cost.
The dawn of a new console generation is the worst time to buy a PC.
Pray tell where I can get new releases of $60 games for $6 each.
