What if?

[Hồng Thất Công]

This question maybe irrelevant to Pandora "fanboys", but I think it would help Ed gauge the interest of people, both old and new, in the Pandora Successor.  So the question is for those who are on this forum (both members and lurkers):  If the Pandora successor were to be out this (2013) Christmas and if your mom give you $650 bucks to spend on gaming gadgets, would you go out and buy the PS4/XboxOne Non-Pandora device?  Or would you spend that money on the Pandora Successor?  Please don't compare PS4/Xbox One these with the Successor!  Just answer Yes or No.

Please don't compare and start the same OLD war!!!

Edit:  At Mr. Loon's suggestion, I've added couple more categories/choices.

Id buy the pandora successor and a ps4 some time later.


I would have a ps4 now but all my money is to fund an indie game.

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

I would buy the Successor since my PS3 and Xbox 360 still have lot of life left in them.

How can you say not to compare? if you have to make a choice obviously you are going to compare. Anyway i think the question is moot because you are mixing apples and oranges there, the pandora successor is obviously not for hi gfx gaming and its a portable system. totally different use cases.

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

^ Hmm... not quite true.  It's what one wants right?  Yes make a choice.  Yes, it's apples and oranges and I'm asking you to pick either the apple or the orange.

My kids hate apples so they always pick oranges.

I'd most likely buy the successor... Assuming it's as good as I expect it to be.


PS4 I can wait for a while still yet... Xbox I'm not likely to get at all

I'm just wondering what's the point of asking the question, since:

- the actual situation you describe does not exist : The Pandora successor won't be available before 2015 at least (at least that's my guess)

- You are comparing stuff for which we already know what you can do with it, which something that's virtual at this stage and not completely defined. 

and obviously most of the people are are multi-machine users, and will end up buying both a console AND a Pandora successor eventually. So it's not a "one or the other" kind of rationale.

Didn't I say "What if it were then what would... ?" It is hypothetical from the get-go.  Also, the question was framed such that if one were to have one choice to make what would one do in that situation.  Why do people buy insurances for their houses and cars?  What is the chance your house gets burned down or what is the chance you get into an accident?  It's all "What if" kind of situations.  The chance Pandora sucessor comes out this Chrismas is as low as my house gets burned down or me getting hit by a bus, but I still buy insurances to cover these what-if situations

Just go and vote! or Not  

Don't try to ruin this poll thread

Life is full of and the economies rely on what-ifs

 

[lordbobjones]

A simple and quick.   YES!!!!  Pandora 2!!

 

[hedwards]

I'm not likely to buy a PS4 considering the shenanigans that Sony pulled with the PS3. Removing features from later editions and the effectively forced updates that removed the Other OS feature and such.

 

[mcobit]

I would definitely buy the successor.


But on the other hand, I am not a console person anyway.

 

[sebt3]

Where is the option "My mum doesnt give me money, I'm way too old for that" ?

 

[mcobit]

And what if I gave my mother $650?


Would she spend it on a P2 or a console?


I demand answers...

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Geez, again, this is a what-if question.  You were given only 2 choices to make... 

 

[pmprog]

You don't specify how much money you're given. Why not buy all three?

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

I did.

I'm not a gamer, I never owned any console, I would never pay more than $20 for a game (unless it's a nice physical board game maybe) and I absolutely hate closed platforms. So this is kind of a no-brainer to me. I probably wouldn't even get a PS4 or XBox One if it were given to me for free.

I wont buy X One or Ps4 because of marketing model of SONY and m$. I will stick with my old PS2.. 

 

[matzesu]
