Moxie Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Now that the PS4 is out PS 3 is pretty cheap. What does the 4 have that makes it better?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Processing power - graphics, speed, details. AKA: Not much, IMO. PS3 has way more (cheaper) games right now. If you have neither, I'd get a PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 My ds got the PS4 on release date with one game. The game kept crashing and then finally his system went. We had to mail it to Sony for a replacement. He's disappointed he spent so much money on it as they haven't released any games he wants yet.

Mommee & Baba Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 My dh is getting the PS4. He currently has a PS3. Here is his comparison on the consoles. PS3 is older version obviously by 7 years. The graphics won't be as good, the processor, the speed....ect. It has a single core processor running at 3.2GHz. Graphics Processor 550MHz. There will be lots of games for this system as it's been out for several years (Nov. 2006). Cost is $250. PS4 is new version. The controller has a touchpad on it. The controller has a share button on it making it easier for making videos and walk-throughs to be linked. It has an 8 core processor running at 2.75GHz. PS4 is 800MHz. Making it sharper with graphics and more detail. Comes with 500Gig hard-drive and it's upgradable. Games will be slimmer in the pickens at first, but realize it's a brand new console and you need games that can be customized for this system. Cost is $399. In my opinion the price difference is NOT worth having a system that is about 7 years old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Another thing to consider is that the PS3 is a multi-tasker. It not only plays PS3 games, but it plays original PS games (PS1). It also plays DVDs and Blu-ray discs. It will also play your music CDs. The PS 4, on the other hand, only plays PS4 games and Blu-rays. That's it. It is not backward compatible with any other PS games. There is a massive back catalogue of PS3 and PS1 games. There are few PS4 games, so far, but that is, admittedly, expected to grow, whereas the PS3 catalogue will not (likely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
