Absolutely, for them it makes no sense to not purchase it. They are a tax write off for them, it's part of their job. If I was in the industry or still living at home, I'd have that thing on the 15th and would of taken the day off of work to play it. I just had 2 friends cancel as well, and wasn't sure if it was the norm for gamers in their late 20s early 30s to wait on this. I was all gungho ready when they announced it and my excitement level has gone down significantly.

It's not a stand, I have other expenses in my life and who knows if I may need that $500 at some other point. I'd rather not have it collect dust while I wait for releases. Watch Dogs, AC4 and DriveClub at launch originally made it worth it to me, as I don't typically game all that much and they would of lasted me til late Feb and March when other stuff was coming out. I'd rather have that money in my pocket and wait for those things to come out instead now.

I would of kept my PS4 Pre-order if your statement was at least true. The PS4 can play PS4 games, and will eventually be able to play older titles via Galaki but that's a streaming service and a year away. However I don't upgrade electronics that frequently, it's a waste of money. My PC was built in 08 and has been upgraded a few times. I don't own a tablet and my Vita gets the majority of my gaming time.

I preordered my PS4 initially knowing I was going to sit on the console for a bit and wait for new games, however I realized I'd rather just buy the thing when a bunch of games come out for it, which will probably be late Feb or March. I'd rather buy another PS3 now so I can move my old Fat one to my Office and have a quieter and smaller one in my living room for Netflix and downloaded games.

BF4 was an example. I have no intentions of playing any shooter on any console in the near future (yes I am still a firm believe that mouse and keyboard just makes more sense). IF for some crazy reason I could M/KB on my PS4, they'd have me in a second.

@jgf I guess my examples were poor, I personally do not play shooters on console. If I was to purchase BF4 it would be on PC. However I have come to realization as someone who is a multiplatform gamer (PC, PS3, Vita) I need a handful of titles that will be appealing to me before I make a purchase. I was going to get the PS4 with Watch Dogs and AC4 to mostly be my reasoning behind getting it now rather than waiting. Personally that list of 36 games to look forward to almost none appeal to me (on a console) besides maybe Need For Speed as I am a huge fan of the original and reboot of the Hot Pursuit variation. I have yet to cancel my order, but expect to do so in a day or two. Simply put the 400 bucks would be better in my bank account rather than as a new netflix box. I would of been more open to the PS4 if it was fully backwards compatible as there is plenty on the PS3 that I have yet to play due to lack of free time.

Personally I play games solo 99% of the time, so anything FTP is really not for me. On that list, Need For Speed Rivals is the only thing I'd probably pay full price to play (as I love the Hot Pursuit franchise even on PS1). Knack I feel is going to be a lost title, that no one really remembers 5 years down the line. Killzone I'd wait for reviews and possibly spend a little time with online. Other than that, to me personally nothing is worth the $400 investment.

I still need to play GTA5, and I can play AC4 on my PS3. To me right now, it just means do I spend the 400 now or wait til there is a library of exclusives I want to play and play immediately.

@jayeh If I was going to play BF4 it would be on PC, so as a gamer who splits his time across many platforms I suppose in my case it makes sense to wait, I'd rather put 400-500 into a new computer than a new console right now.

@jayjonesjunior Multi-platform gamer myself, kinda the reason why I am thinking this way now, PC is mostly my Shooter and RPG go to system, Console for platformers, openworld and sports (just NHL games) and my Vita is for Indie games and PSP/PS1 Backlog or Nostalgia. Waiting on the PS4 makes sense, as I can clear out some of my PS3 backlog and collection as I wait for a few releases that speak to me.

I have been speaking to a bunch of friends and it seems that we have all come to the conclusion of cancelling our pre-orders. Why?

Well the Launch games are nothing special. I can play AC4 on my PS3, I can play BF4 as well, nothing PS4 exclusive excites me and I was originally happy with the idea of having 3 games at launch (none exclusive besides DriveClub, but it would start me off with more than 1 game), nothing super special but AC4, Watch Dogs and PS+Version of DriveClub. Now I can only get one of those.

Still have a bunch of PS3 games that have yet to be confirmed for PS4, Dark Souls II a big one for me.

Anyone else cancelling?

Out of the launch options, Watch Dogs is your best bet. Went to NYCC this weekend and got to see a bit more of Watch Dogs and I am now looking more forward to it.

AC4 (I haven't played an AC game, since AC2) and Watch Dogs will be my launch games. Just renewed my PS+ so I'll also have Drive Club. Nov 15th is so close!!!

Without knowing your other specs, it's hard to know if your video card is what needs replacing or if you are going to be bottlenecked by other hardware.

However the 760 is probably your best bet if you are sure that your system will not be bottle necked by your CPU.

Look into the 3930k instead of the 3770k. You'll need a different motherboard too.

Case, I am a fan of Lian Li. Expensive, but light and awesome.

Nope, belongs on a PC in my mind and that's where I will continue to play it.
