@dominicplombier Actually it's not about being released at the same time as 360 and PS3.
Several points are to be taken into consideration:
1. The name, it was so confusing at start, people though it was just another gimmicky controller for the original Wii instead of a brand new console.
2. Timing, the console was released in a bad timing, They could've waited until July 2013 in my opinion to compete with the incoming consoles and do better than this.
3. Games, if you know you're releasing a new console, get your games ready!, the really small choice of games during the console launch was horrible. That being said the last point is
4. 3rd party support, Nintendo is well known of making their own games and f*ck the rest. but in reality, they need the 3rd party developers for success. remember the N64? remember the NES? both systems were great just not because Nintendo made exclusive games for those systems, also because they both had a great 3rd party support.
@No_SuRReNDeR I prefer getting a 2DS is cheaper and doesn't get me sick with the 3D option. I recommend Pokemon X as well, and Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
@TommyT456 You are speaking the truth man, graphical improvements is an added bonus, the true improvement is how much more you can do in a game. take for example the term "open world", in PS2, very few games offered this new type of gameplay, with PS3 the open world games almost become a standard. bigger games, more ways to play, even seemless online gameplay is possible thanks to the computing prowess of this machines, @Adam Ritchie so it's not only graphics...
It's not a big deal really, I'm gonna buy a PS4, if they released COD: Ghosts in 720p I wouldn't buy it anyway because of poor story, not graphics, in the improbable case I buy it (still considering it's in 720p) I wouldn't care if it runs smoothly at 60FPS. KZ: Shadow Fall will run at 30FPS in multiplayer, will it affect my decision of buying it? nope, I'm still gonna get it.
@Banefire76 If I remember right, Bioshock was an Xbox 360 exclusive for a year, a year later it was released to PS3. I believe the same will happen to this title, if not, that's fine, we have plenty of titles on PS4 to get busy with :)
