Would you sell your PS3 for a PS4?

[novasparker]

Eventually. Not quite yet, though. I always trade in one system when I buy a new one in an effort to offset some of the cost, but at this point I really enjoy my PS 3 and have an extensive library for it that will be useless on the PS4, so I am not yet ready to move on. I will most likely keep the set up I have for at least a year longer until the price of the PS 4 comes down pretty significantly before I make a move to get one...and at that point, I don't know if I will be ready to part with the PS3 or not. It's be a solid machine and I have a lot of money invested in it.

I sold my ps3 for a ps4 and don't regret it at all. The only game I miss playing is kingdom hearts 1.5, even though I own the original on ps2. I have a 360 as well, so I imagine that I am better off then people who just sold their console without a backup to play old games.

 

[Rocketman]

I would not, at least right now because there's not really any games I want on the PS4 at the moment while the PS3 still has a pretty extensive library. Maybe in a year or two when the library is larger. Right now it just seems like kind of a risky move.

If you asked me that question today, I'd say no. But if you asked me that question 6 months+ from now I'd likely say yes. The reason is that there are no games on the PS4 yet, so it's not really viable at this point.

 

[RobDaCool]

Nope, I just got my PS3 back in October. Heck within two months I've bought a PS3, PSVita and a PS4 -No wonder I am poor.

 

[CpmPanda]

No, my wife bought me a PS2 and a PS3 so I can't really sell my PS3 cause she loves it too much. Plus, even if I sold it, I couldn't afford the 'after sell' price. If I sold my PS3 for 200, I still have another 200 to gather up.

I currently still have a PS3 but would definitely be open to selling it to get some funds for a PS4, I usually do that with most of my electronics. When something gets old or when I want to upgrade I'll usually just sell that and upgrade.

 

[Fiverr Exposed]

Nah, imma keep it. I don't see enough about the PS3 to justify me upgrading. The graphics just don't look that much different, and even though I don't use them that much, I heard the PS4 doesn't play CDs! WTF?!

 

[mauricioq]

Yes, I would do it!
After you get used to the PS4 graphics, there's no coming back. You will notice a huge difference between the two.

As long as you have a backup to play stuff from the previous generation. I say that you should always have a console to play previous generations if a console doesn't have backwards compatibility or allow you to play games that you own already.

It's common sense to keep a console until it's confirmed there's a way to play previous generation games on the newest one. There will always be a method to play them even if you have to buy the game again through the marketplace when it eventually pops up.

Way I see it, why would I pay twice for the same game. If I sold my PS3, I wouldn't get much for it and the games if I sold it to GameStop (and with 35ish games in my collection they would probably give me 20 bucks. If I sold them on my own, it would take a long time to sell all of them one by one on my own). Rather just keep it hooked up and if I feel like playing, I'll fire it up. Plus my game collection looks sweet on my shelf

 

[dannyboy]

No i would not sell my PS3 because there are a lot of enjoyable games that i have for it. Also like manypthes have stated, there is no backwards compatibility.

 

[schoat333]

I traded my PS2 in for my first PS3, and regret still. I'll be keeping my PS3.

All good reasons lol. Having a collection to admire is a big bonus as well.

 

[SpaceTiger]

I will admit, when I was younger I would've sold my PS2 or PS3--if PS3 was out in those knuckleheaded days--for the new console without batting an eye on it.

 

[aperture7]

I like keeping my older consoles for a while. There's still a lot of games on there I like playing. GTA, Tomb Raider, RDR...

So no, not quite yet time.

Yeah GTA V alone is worth keeping the PS3.

I actually bought GTA IV, never opened it, and took it back to the store. I never played it. It was supposed to get me into the series, but I think at the time I was playing so many other games that I just didn't care anymore. Sometimes I wonder if that was a mistake or not.

 

[SpaceTiger]

My neighbor just sold his PS3 lol. He's saving up for a PS4, but he's got nothing to play.

...or rather he doesn't have anything he'll play. He has a PSP, but I play it more than he does actually.
