What, exactly, does the PS4 have left any more?

Killer Instinct isn't a disappointment in the slightest :/

PC version of Tittyfall gets more action than the X1 version I had.

Shadow of Mordor has no nemesis system on 360/PS3, basically robbing that game of everything that makes it interesting in the first place.

PC version of titanfall is a fucking wasteland bro. i went to play that new mode yesterday and most playlists had double digit populations. the highest was attrition at 500 people.

1- I didn't say otherwise. You're the one who brought up the Wii U for multiplats

I one and love it right now, but i wouldn't recommend it ha a primary platform due to lack of 3rd party support. If you care about those games. You're the one

2- Yes, but you're the one using a platform with inferior multiplats being anotehr platform with even more inferior multiplats. I used teh same example

3- So? PC is a gamign platform. It exists. It counts on System Wars. So.........................shrugs

In the world of platform wars, you don't get to take out one fo them to suit your agend. If the piss 4 doesn't have the best versions of multiplats, it doesn't have the best looking and running versions of multiplats.

The Piss 4? Seems people these days will throw any words together to come up with what they think is a clever insult.

Congratulations, PC is a gaming platform and exists on SW. But Gue1 made the best observation here. PC and consoles may share many games but they definitely don't cater to the same demographics. Sure, in our super serious gaming world of Gamespot and SW, we know that PC has the best multiplats. But, in the actual real world, where the average consumer will only buy consoles, or will only buy one console for a generation, they look at several factors: Price, brand power (and hype), features, and total games (and how they perform).

So, the PS4 was cheaper than the Xbone, the PS4 has the PS brand and the mega hype behind it (along with the advertising), and also has the multiplat games that people clamor for. In the console realm of hardware, the PS4 has the best multiplats. You can bring up platform wars all you want, but for the average consumer, PC doesn't exist and isn't a part of the equation. Sad, but true.

If reality actually matched SW's perceptions, several things would be different:

1) Wii U would probably be in the lead.

2) Bayonetta 2 sales would exceed Wii U's, people would buy 3-4 copies just to contain that magnificent 10.

3) PC's would be more openly discussed in the average market place.

So, you're on System Wars, a forum for "war" (in a funny sense ofcourse) between all platforms , while complaining about SW rules.

Seems legit.

So then, why are cows the ones posting about DF face offs to mock the xbone about the piss 4 having better versions of multiplats. After all, unless you can back up the idea that the majority (50%+) of all PS4 owners bought the console for superior multiplats (compated to the xb1), you're contradicting yourself regarding my point.

All i said was the piss 4 doens't have the best versions of multiplats. PC does. Which is true. So..........................shrug.

But hey, i'm sure those sales will be fun to play.

I'm not complaining about SW rules at all, not certain where you got that from. The real world does not correlate with the rules here of SW. Just because I point out that obvious fact does not mean I am complaining about the rules of SW. SW is a tiny, tiny bubble here in the gaming world. The ideas of hyping exclusives, flops, determining multiplats (and utterly excluding their value for a system), etc. have no validity for the rest of the world.

Look at the first sentence of the thread: "With the recent announcement that Resogun is going to the Playstation Vita as well, I have a serious, genuine question right now- why exactly is this console selling? What does it have to warrant the sales?"

So yeah, the thread is asking why is the PS4 selling the way it is, to which I have already described. Again, explaining why the PS4 is selling isn't me "complaining about the rules". So why are cows posting about DF face offs having better versions about multiplats? Um...because that's what happens around here? Lems bragged about it last gen, cows brag about it this gen. The consoles argue amongst themselves around here. It's kind of been a thing around here for a long time now.

"After all, unless you can back up the idea that the majority (50%+) of all PS4 owners bought the console for superior multiplats (compated to the xb1), you're contradicting yourself regarding my point."

What? You'll have to show me where I supposedly contradicted myself. You're point is what, that PC has the best multiplats? Yeah....we established that. Here in the super duper serious gaming world, we know that PC has best multiplats. No surprise there. Again, SW isn't the consumer world. Average consumers look at the price (huh PS4 was cheaper for several months), hype and brand power ( huge), features, and games available vs. the competition. Accordingly, for the average consumer, PC isn't on the radar. Sorry, but it's true. For the average consumer, it's a culmination of all those factors. Consumer A may have been swayed by the cheaper price, along with the PS brand. Consumer B may have heard about the better running multiplats than the competition. Who knows what swayed what percentage of the consumers because of price or hype or games or etc. The fact is it happened, so the best we can do is try to explain it.

Also, you seem to shrug a lot, you could at least formulate an argument instead of shrugging. "Piss 4", again, such a terrible name, but I guess I can't expect any better, so.....shrug.

Why do you keep using the real world sales, when i didn't even meantion them? Why would i care anyway? The average consumer bougth Destiny, yet it flopped scored wise. Who gives a shit?

I'm talking about the exclusives library. Gue1 tried to counter with superior multiplats versions, and i proved him wrong.

If i wanted to do a popularity contest, then the average consumer, in reality, cares more about mobile gaming than console gaming.

And yes, i know lemms brought up superior multiplats last gen aswell. But then that shows the hypocrisy of both sides. Lemms bragged out it, but now don' care. Cows didn't care, and give massive fucks about it.

The reality is that the piss 4 is pretty worthless right now, since it's not delivering on the exclusives or superior multis. So........................shrug.

Don't know if its been mentioned but what about Bayonetta2 for WiiU? Its the highest rated game for any current gen console.

Also, XB1 owners do not think Killer Instinct is a disappointment. Especially now that season2 is live. For the most part its been very well received.

Other than that I agree with the OP as it stands now after edits.

Really what is has going for it it's a next gen system with a okay selection of multiplats (which are seemingly more interesting that the console / Sony exclusives), so there's that, Alien Isolation and Shadow of Mordor, Wolftenstein, Watch Dogs, and more to come, on that end it's a better console to play those on compared to the Xbox One so that's what it has going for it. Oh, and Persona 5 is coming, not exclusive, but I imagine it'll be a notch better than the PS3 version.

Something the other two wont have.

A bright future and a lot of butthurt shitposting threads from charizard1605.

So basically, you don't actually have anything to say. Gotcha.

Well since you are begging me to reply to your bait thread. lets take a look at the WiiU library.

  • New Super Mario Bros. U (rehash)
  • ZombiU (lol Ubisoft)
  • Nintendo Land (not even a game)
  • Lego City Undercover (No Idea, looks like kiddy shit)
  • Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Cash in port)
  • Game and Wario (lol)
  • The Wonderful 101 (overhyped kiddy shit with an overreliance of gimmick controls)
  • Pikmin 3 (rehash)
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Worse version of a 10+ years old game, lol)
  • Sonic: Lost World (lol)
  • Super Mario 3D World (rehash)

Summary: The WiiU is a last gen console with no games bundled with a mandatory toy-tablet, that did not fade into complete irrelevance because sheep like the OP shill unpaid for it any chance they get.

Whats sadder than the unpaid nintendo shills are people that actually buy into this POS just to be left hanging with only mario rehashes again after nintendo pulls the plug in the next 2 years.

I thought the same thing when the Wii first came out and it sold like gangbusters. I mean, what exactly was on the system aside from Wii Sports, which felt like a cheap tech demo at best?

There is no reason to own a PS4/Xbone right now. I have yet to see one game that has made me feel the urge to purchase a system immediately. Everything semi interesting comes out next year, so if I do make a purchase it will be then.

@MarkAndExecute: Truth be told, Wii Sports isn't a bad game for family get togethers or when friends come over. That said, TC has already asserted his point on why buying a console at launch is stupid (me including).

My PS4's biggest use is streaming baseball games on my projector. That should be saying a lot about the current state of PS4.

As usual, it is Systems Wars and your rules. STFU.

"The Xbox is selling but that's because........" Do you ever listen to yourself? Get a grip man. You don't need to open your mouth with some bullshit counter argument every time a point is made. Take the ownage and sit down every once and a while.

Oh and on a side note. I am taking advantage of the Xbox sale and buying another ONE today. Have a good one!

Yes i do and were ever you admit it or not it is selling because a PS4 is $460 with 1 game the xbox one $350..hahaha

MS is selling the console at rotten meat prices,and can't blame them after September NPD were even with a free copy of Destiny and Forza 5 the PS4 double the xbox one sales wise.

Is forums about making and countering arguments don't like get get the fu** out cry baby..ahahahaa

I don't want an xbox one why on hell would i even consider a second one,i think no fanboy other than a shill will fall for that shit..lol

@tormentos: I'm enjoying Shadow of Mordor rather fine on my PC, which has an 87 score compared to 86 on consoles. GTA 5 will be a wait, but then again, what's a few months compared to a year?

If anyone only plays multiplats, then they would play on the PC as the superior experience. It might take a little more effort, but the character building, options at your fingertips and the sales on Steam will make it all worth your while. The only reason why you would buy a console is for games that offers an unique experience you can't get anywhere else. I bought a PS4 because they have the only decent baseball game on the market, and I bought a Wii U because I enjoy Mario games and Smash Bros (and the definitive version of Rayman Legends is on that console).

That is the problem the xbox one has just 1 this holiday,and 3 Kinect games which a huge chunk of the user base can't even play because they went Kinectless sku,so basically you have SO, because MCC,FH2 and the rest are multiplatforms.

You don't need to wait until further to play Halo Ce,3 or 4,or Reach or ODST they are all out now,and 2 are not even on that collection,i guess that is 2017 exclusive MCC 2.0 the same shit with Reach and ODST.

The reality is that you are a sorry ass butthurt lemming,who hides on PC every times the freaking xbox one get owned by the PS4,your cover was blown long ago dude,again you are not fooling any one..

I remember showing Wii Sports to my friends a few times and it was amusing for a while but once the novelty factor wore off, we went back to playing DDR and Guitar Hero on the PS2 lol. Especially for casual gamers, the game gets old pretty quickly once you realize the motion functions do not exactly mimic your gestures 100% of the time. Its not the type of game you could play for months, especially when there are better options out there.

Oh, and sales.........i guess

and better looking and running multiplats than both the Wii U and Xbone. Don't ever forget that.

That's true, i won't deny it. But then, it doesn't have the best looking and running multiplat versions.

Because by that view point, the wii u and xbone have better versions than the PS3 and xbox 360.

let's be honest bro, what you just said doesn't even make any sense.

huh?

1. the Wii U hardly have any mutiplats and the few it has are inferior compared to the last gen consoles.

2. PS3 and X360 are last gen consoles that soon 3rd party devs will stop supporting anyway.

3. PC has the best but you either need knowledge to built one one or buy an over-priced one. At the end, PC and consoles may share many games but they don't cater to the same demographics.

1- I didn't say otherwise. You're the one who brought up the Wii U for multiplats

I one and love it right now, but i wouldn't recommend it ha a primary platform due to lack of 3rd party support. If you care about those games. You're the one

2- Yes, but you're the one using a platform with inferior multiplats being anotehr platform with even more inferior multiplats. I used teh same example

3- So? PC is a gamign platform. It exists. It counts on System Wars. So.........................shrugs

In the world of platform wars, you don't get to take out one fo them to suit your agend. If the piss 4 doesn't have the best versions of multiplats, it doesn't have the best looking and running versions of multiplats.

It has the best looking multiplats in the console environment. PC is a different demographic just like handhelds.

now stop failing at common sense at the most basic level. Go to school, read a book or something but give some exercise to that brain.

But that is the problem is about WII U not PC,i have Shadow of Mordor on PC to,the score is irrelevant since is the same game,the same happen with some consoles to despite been inferior to PC yet they have higher score on multiplatforms.

Yeah those are the ones like Us who can afford one,not every one has a gaming PC or can afford one,specially one to deliver a way superior experience,for the $399 the PS4 cost you won't find a PC period better.

Hiding on PC to justify the lack of wii game is a joke,no matter what the game is on PS4 xbox one and not on Wii U period,is 1 less game,sort of like FH2 on XBO or TLOU on PS4.

So you have no argument since most people who go for a wii u don't fit the PC gamer kind of guy description.

The PS4 definitely has games, just not ones that appeal to the TC. I mean if one of the reasons you're spouting off why the Wii U rocks is because it has a Remaster of an old game that came out 12 years ago, then that's kinda sad tbh. Oh look! Its in HD, its sooooo pretty! Oh okay, so now graphics do matter? I thought they didn't back when the Wii first dominated.

Completely agree, the PS4 is a complete waste of space at the minute.

But i think you're being too harsh on the Xbox. Forza 5 is still an AAAE, the fact its probably the weaker one in the series is just a testament to how great the others are. Killer Instinct is most definitely not a disappointment. I couldn't care less about the fighter genre but I have friends who love it.

People who bought a PS4 bought it because it was a PS4. If you wanted a solid game library you would have waited. Frankly, if people did wait, companies would stop thinking they can trickle out their big guns.

now stop failing at common sense at the most basic level. Go to school, read a book or something but give some exercise to that brain.

Not really. The PS4 shares 90% of its library with PC, so comparing them is more than fair game. Handhelds aren't home consoles and barely share their games. It's always been like this anyway so i don't see the issue.

Last gen cows seemed fine with pc being present in multiplat face offs.

Just like lemms hidding behind PC is dumb, cows shouldn't hide behind the idea that pc doesn't count. The thing is, this gen, you don't actually need a high end rig to even match a next gen console.

And resorting to insults is unnecessary

He is just using PC to hide behind it.

Lemmings really took a page out of the sheeps handbook this gen.

I don't see how ppl can accept that the WiiU needed a second year to get a pretty good lineup...but we can't do that for the PS4/X1.

People praise the WiiU now....but blast the PS4/X1...when everyone knows the first year of any console is slow.

I personally had a complete grand ole time with my PS4 in the first year...not sure why ppl are blasting it.

I'm not complaining about SW rules at all, not certain where you got that from. The real world does not correlate with the rules here of SW. Just because I point out that obvious fact does not mean I am complaining about the rules of SW. SW is a tiny, tiny bubble here in the gaming world. The ideas of hyping exclusives, flops, determining multiplats (and utterly excluding their value for a system), etc. have no validity for the rest of the world.

Look at the first sentence of the thread: "With the recent announcement that Resogun is going to the Playstation Vita as well, I have a serious, genuine question right now- why exactly is this console selling? What does it have to warrant the sales?"

So yeah, the thread is asking why is the PS4 selling the way it is, to which I have already described. Again, explaining why the PS4 is selling isn't me "complaining about the rules". So why are cows posting about DF face offs having better versions about multiplats? Um...because that's what happens around here? Lems bragged about it last gen, cows brag about it this gen. The consoles argue amongst themselves around here. It's kind of been a thing around here for a long time now.

"After all, unless you can back up the idea that the majority (50%+) of all PS4 owners bought the console for superior multiplats (compated to the xb1), you're contradicting yourself regarding my point."

What? You'll have to show me where I supposedly contradicted myself. You're point is what, that PC has the best multiplats? Yeah....we established that. Here in the super duper serious gaming world, we know that PC has best multiplats. No surprise there. Again, SW isn't the consumer world. Average consumers look at the price (huh PS4 was cheaper for several months), hype and brand power ( huge), features, and games available vs. the competition. Accordingly, for the average consumer, PC isn't on the radar. Sorry, but it's true. For the average consumer, it's a culmination of all those factors. Consumer A may have been swayed by the cheaper price, along with the PS brand. Consumer B may have heard about the better running multiplats than the competition. Who knows what swayed what percentage of the consumers because of price or hype or games or etc. The fact is it happened, so the best we can do is try to explain it.

Also, you seem to shrug a lot, you could at least formulate an argument instead of shrugging. "Piss 4", again, such a terrible name, but I guess I can't expect any better, so.....shrug.

Why do you keep using the real world sales, when i didn't even meantion them? Why would i care anyway? The average consumer bougth Destiny, yet it flopped scored wise. Who gives a shit?

I'm talking about the exclusives library. Gue1 tried to counter with superior multiplats versions, and i proved him wrong.

If i wanted to do a popularity contest, then the average consumer, in reality, cares more about mobile gaming than console gaming.

And yes, i know lemms brought up superior multiplats last gen aswell. But then that shows the hypocrisy of both sides. Lemms bragged out it, but now don' care. Cows didn't care, and give massive fucks about it.

The reality is that the piss 4 is pretty worthless right now, since it's not delivering on the exclusives or superior multis. So........................shrug.

Why do I keep using real world sales? Probably because that is what the thread is talking about?

This is like talking to a wall, so.....shrug.

Writing off a Playstation in its launch year is an exercise in ignoring history.. Little to nothing more.

It all comes down to one word:

Hype

That's the only reason anything in the AAA blockbuster market sells these days. The expectationof greatness.

So, by that reasoning, Playstation 4 is outselling Gen 7 cross-platform titles because of the expectation of abandonment from Microsoft.

@mr_huggles_dog: Except Time Magazine already declared in 2013 that the Wii U was the only next gen console worth buying for the holidays. Fun is subjective, and I am not arguing on whether it is worth buying a PS4, since you already have no regrets. However, there are many who bought a PS4 on hype and was left disappointed.

How can you say not really? PC caters to a different demographic than the console environment, it's not hard to grasp. Because they share a number of games doesn't change that fact.

No one is saying PC doesn't count. Again, you are trying to inject SW rules and mentality into a analysis of real world PS4 sales. The sooner you get that through, the better.

Pretty sure the term console exclusive was a joint venture from both cows and lemmings.

There is no such thing as "console exclusive" or "company exclusive." Console exclusive is a term coined by lemmings that used the Xbox 360/PC games as a means against the PS3.

Glad the community proved TC wrong. PS4 is on a ROLL and not a surprise it's current gen 8 console leader, making it THE console to own this gen.

All it takes is commitment that Nintendo and MS seem to be lacking, but hopefully they'll adjust and follow SONY's proven method.

There's many reasons, but you first have to understand that 90% of gamers out there are casuals and don't own a gaming PC.

  • Multiplats sell consoles in the real world. Casual gamers don't own gaming rigs and they want to play Call of Duty and Madden. They need a console to do that. Hardcore and casual gamers alike know that PS4 is the cheapest and most powerful console.
  • Exclusives don't mean anything in the real world. In fact, most casual gamers don't even know what an exclusive is.
  • Microsoft got a lot of bad press from their 2013 unveiling and even the most casual of casuals know about this.
  • PlayStation is a strong brand and casuals trust it. Why shouldn't they? The PS brand has delivered strong for the last 20+ years.
  • Regardless of what PS4 has to offer, the fact that it's selling so well garners interest towards it and makes people want it more. Consumers are sheep and will get in line for something just because they see a line.
  • Sony has really picked up their advertising campaigns this gen compared to last gen.
  • The Wii U was a running joke for over a year after it launched on the market and casual gamers still see it as a joke. Only hardcore gamers know it's a good console now.

I forgot to add that Sony has the best sales pitch in the industry right now. Sales pitch is what you need to sell consoles to casuals and casuals make up 90%+ of the market like I said.

Sony's sales pitch for the PS4 would be something along the lines of this:

"With the Sony PlayStation 4, you get the most powerful current generation console at a competitive price. You get the power that the Wii U and Xbox One lack and you get the 3rd party support that the Wii U lacks while sacrificing nothing."

The Sony PS4 could never release an exclusive the entire generation and still smash the competition. Xbone was dead on arrival with their poorly designed system and the Wii U is still considered a joke by casuals.

"Greatness awaits." It should be here by late 2015 or sometime in 2016. If it's not here by then, and the PS4 is still selling lots of units, I've lost all hope in the gaming community.

If so many people were disappointed, why did it sell more in September than in August?

@charizard1605:

Dude stop. You know why it is selling. To the mainstream consumer, who knew the X1 and PS4 were going to be stronger than the WiiU and play COD, Madden etc, the only hope MS had was their reveal and then E3. They blew it. So this will be the go to console for people who spend exactly 20 seconds thinking about the industry, are still asking when Halo will come to the other consoles, and when the COD movie is coming out.

The only upcoming PS4 exclusive that looks to be good is Uncharted but that is probably 2 years away and no gameplay was even shown.
