Responses to my questions regarding new video game consoles

Thanks to everyone to responded to my original post about ordering games for the PS4 and Xbox One. If you're interested in seeing what people had to say, here are the responses: One librarian said, "I have already placed a large order because I want the titles on the shelves before the holidays." She isn't going to stop ordering PS3 and Xbox 360 quite yet, but eventually she might. These are the titles she ordered in both of the new formats: FIFA 14 Need for speed rivals Madden NFL 25 Battlefield 4 Just Dance 2014 Call of duty: ghosts Assassin's creed black flag NBA 2K LEGO Marvel A hospital librarian asked her 16-year-old gamer son what he thought, and he said, “Libraries shouldn't start stocking PS4 or Xbox One games yet! It's too early in their lifespan! There aren't enough games yet." Another librarian says, "I've already started orderinig PS4 and Xbox One. I will still order PS3 and Xbox 360 but probably cut back. People are going to expect this, and if you don't stay relevant, you'll become obsolete." And finally, someone said "I am going to start purchasing PS4 and Xbox One games in our new budget year which starts in July. I may purchase requests (depending on how popular the game is). I will probably stop purchasing for PS3 and Xbox 360 since our budget can't support all of these platforms." Hope this helps!
