Every gamer wants a PS4. Best games and the best multiplats on a console. Why would anyone want less for $100 more dollars.

black0o4547d ago

Also alot of x360 owner saw how MS dropped the heavy AAA support after kinect while sony kept pumping ps3 with heavy hitter

Army_of_Darkness4547d ago

I'm still hoping to find a ps4 by walk-in....... Eventually... Just not a fan of pre-ordering.

georgeenoob4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

Best games?

What games? Only thing I can think of are Infamous and Order, with X1 I can easily come up with 10 AAAs. Feel free to state some. What's even sadder is that The Order is no where near release and is probably just another Last Guardian.

I can see why so many people on this site keep mentioning Uncharted 4 even though no one has any clue on when it'll be announced or even IF it ever will be announced, because there really isn't anything else for PS4. Do you hear Xbox gamers talk about Crackdown 3? Nope, cause they got more than enough games to talk about than unannounced titles, unlike PS4 gamers. Sad.

Hicken4547d ago

So why didn't you name those ten, georgetroll?

MeknSence4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

@ George Sony has the best 1st party games. Now what first party FULL exclusive do Microsoft has? None worth speaking about! "Rare" distribute "Banjo & Kazooe" nearly 6 years ago and it flopped. So, besides buying time release exclusive, what better games like "The Last of Us", "God's of War" (just a selective few) that Microsoft has? Once again, NONE, so get your troll self out of here.

ipach4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

AAA, indie, exclusive - any way you slice it, the games list comparison is kind of tilted:
X1: 76 games on the list.
Exclusive = 15
Console Exclusive/+Timed = 8/+3
Multiplatform = 51
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
I think MS has said there are >100 in development, but these are all the internet has been able to list.

PS4: 171 games on this list (11 of which have been confirmed as free-to-play).
Exclusive = 30 (2 of these are free-to-play)
Console exclusive and/or timed = 67/+1 (8/+1 of these are free-to-play)
Multiplatform = 73
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Granted, there are bound to be some ongoing edits/corrections. But this has lots of eyes and hands on it, so it's about as close as we've got right now...

And I think it's time to drop this silly idea that PS4 has no games... It does not have Titanfall. That is true and stinks for PS4 fans. But Microsoft fans don't have Naughty Dog, Santa Monica or Media Molecule either. And for all we know, Respawn will probably go multiplat for its next title anyway (PS4 gamers collectively will probably be willing to pay them more in purchases than Microsoft as a company individually would in exclusivity fees...)

hakeem09964547d ago

what Ebay sale ? are they talking about people reselling their consoles ? All these numbers show that most people resold their PS4 while most XboX owners kept theirs . Who really won here ?

miyamoto4547d ago

This is gonna be a long 8th gen console word war for all the PlayStation haters. Specially the sales whore kind.
I wonder how it feels for them to be beaten in their own obsessions?

G20WLY4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

@GeorgeNoob, no one is talking about Crackdown 3 because Crackdown 2 was terrible and ruined the promise shown by Crackdown 1.

@Hakeem, lol, nice try sunshine - have you any idea how many retailers operate through eBay these days? All with new stock!

Do you really think many owners of either console (yes, even XBone) sold them on eBay having finished with them? 'Personal' sellers would only be selling XBone/PS4 because they pre-ordered more than one.

TLDR: Like MS so far this gen, you fail. ;P

nosferatuzodd4547d ago

geargenoob check the list of games coming out and see who really have more games than who all this talk about ps4 have no game it was the same talk in 06 and look what happened i can count over 26 exclusive this year alone for ps3 and how much does the 360 has please tell me I'm wrong

mediate-this4547d ago

Those 360 owners were ps2 owners

Except that the ebay prices are much more than that of an xbox one. So people just want a PS4 regardless of the price.

VforVideogames4547d ago

Flame bait articles just ignore them.

kingcasper4547d ago

ahahahah what a sped

every GAMER wants an xbox one and a PC..

uno why ?

the best games.. and best graphics..and biggest communities..

microsoft platforms = the gamers choice

dont believe me ? go read reviews.. ps4 has no games at all.. but microsoft platforms dominate with the best games/best looking games and biggest online communities..

PC and XBOX = Microsoft 4 the win

johndoe112114547d ago

You're not fooling anyone with that account Hryb.

ChristianTheAtheist4547d ago

"dont believe me ?"

10:1 disagree ratio, so no, apparently "we don't believe you". I actually prefer playing games than having to read reviews to make me feel better about the products that I buy.

kingcasper4547d ago

alot of spastics who believe PC and XBOX aint the best.. cant help that..31 people vs the entire gaming industry LOL means nothing

GarrusVakarian4546d ago

"PS4 has no games at all"

My god, your comments are hilarious. PS4 has plenty of games, more coming in 2014. People said the same thing about the PS3, now look at it compared to the 360 lol. I keep seeing you say this same thing over and over, are you trying to convince yourself?

PS4 multiplats will always look and run better on PS4 (that's already apparent). You also seem to forget that Sony have some of the best/most talented 1st party devs in the industry, but you completely ignore that because all you focus on is the here and now, lets see how smug you are when they announce uncharted 4.

GarrusVakarian4546d ago

"cant help that..31 people vs the entire gaming industry LOL means nothing"

The entire gaming industry lmao, wtf? Where have you been this past year? Its been complete domination by Sony since the reveal. Pre orders and word of mouth don't lie, Fact.

PS4= more powerful AND cheaper, Sony has the best devs in the industry (Naughty Dog anyone?), all multiplats look and run better on PS4, Sony has better customer relationship than MS, PS4 has awesome indies (resogun,warthunder,warframe,p lanetside 2 upcoming). I can't wait to see trolls like you hide in your caves when the big dogs start revealing their games, MS know they won't be able to compete so they will probably drop support like they did in 2010 for Kinect.

gamesR4fun4548d ago (Edited 4548d ago )

yep it looks like sony has a strong lead worldwide

even outselling it in NA

Personally I blame the NSA who wants to deal with american companies when they are known to spy on you for the NWO

ofcourse sony does too but they ain't in the news like MS is

that and they are selling a more powerful console for less $

Mosiac774547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

Every country got their own NSA. It just that not every country has come out and said it.

gamesR4fun4547d ago

for sure maybe not every country but most and no ones admitting to it its just that the one in the USA is out of hand and I blame their own policies for the way whistleblowers are coming out
they don't have any legit system for them to turn too so its like the wild west and most of them feel like its their duty since america has always claimed to be 'free' facts are its not never has been any more than russia or china really but perception is everything.

mhunterjr4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

Well, I think it was already clear that ps4 was in higher demand, but there has been some ineffective use of data here.

This data only tallied NA sales. It's widely known that Sony shipped more consoles to NA for their launch than MS did. Naturally, that means there were more ps4s to be potentially resold that week. The analyst should have been more interested in the percentage of consoles sold at retail that were subsequently resold on eBay.

Then, there's also the caveat that these numbers could be indicative of the number of consoles that fell into the hands of those who wanted to actually play them instead of scalp them.

ipach4547d ago

if people were willing, they would have shown up to ebay with just as much money and been willing to pay for the xbox one for as much, if not more. demand is demand... it is very very hard to deny which console is in more demand right now. the data, the anecdotes from stores, the amazon listings... X1 is doing great and not failing at all. But Sony's really crushing right now. Either way, the console games industry is very much alive and well and we should all be glad for that.

Ashby_JC4547d ago

What I take from all this is that pre release the demand was high for the PS4...while MS was making changed and damage control since launch.

Now that both systems are out they BOTH are doing well. Based on the backlash XB1 is doing well. Its just that the PS4 is doing much better in sales.

Does more sales mean an automatic win this gen...who knows.

All I know is that I am happy that console gaming is off to a great start. Even though I prefer the xbx I would never want another system to die off.

I look at the NFL offerings and its only Madden and that makes me sick to my stomach. I want choices. I am a little dissapointed how bad NBA live 14 turned out. I wasnt expecting it to threaten 2K14 but I was hoping it was good enough to spur a competition.

Because as good as 2K14 is...it is severely lacking in a lot of areas that LIVE could have jumped on.

I look forward to future great NEW IPS coming out. I will keep my eye out for the PS4 because as soon as that MUST have title drops I will go buy one with the quickness lol.

yogaflame4547d ago

titan fall will turn thing around for xbox one. Xbox always have system seller shooters

M-M4547d ago

To be honest, I think it will sell more on the 360 than the Xbox One.

yogaflame4547d ago

Sony has to prepare for the onslaught of Titan Fall. And next will be Gear of War and Halo. But titan fall really makes allot of PS gamers jealous. Will it ever come out to PS4? We will never know if MS already paid MS. For now titan fall is lurking to challenge Sony's sales.

mhunterjr4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

Well, that's inevitable, considering their are 80million 360s vs a potential 5mil Xbox 1's. That said, the 360 version isn't a direct port, and the xb1 version will no doubt drive Xbox 1 hardware. Especially the inevitable bundle. There's a good chance titanfall and halo will help MS avoid a price drop until next Christmas.

nerdman674547d ago

The 360 version is being made separately and is said to be a much lesser version.
I do not know how it will turn out, but I have heard that the X1 version is being designed to be me more superior, which would be a great move on MS part

Mikeyy4547d ago

Don't expect much from titanfall 1. The developer isn't thrilled it's gone exclusive.

It has no chance at competing with cod thanks to MS throwing money around again.

miyamoto4546d ago (Edited 4546d ago )

That's what they also said about Mario 3D Land....

Like some Nintendo fans Xbox fans care about sales figures they were not part of....

How many billions of dollars did MS threw on CoD, Final Fantasies etc Kinect yet still failed to dominate?

They have to double that against PS4 and we know how it will all turnout in the end.

lolz you sound more scared than confident with what your saying kid? Titan Fall, Halo..with Sony's studios? lolz really?

hmm Gears of War will be a big question mark, Epic already is working on a PS4 title so i think next Epic game would be multiplat..and i doubt it will be a gears of war all over again..and doubt it coz Microsoft spend tons of dollars on Titan Fall time exclusivity..they dont want to cut the sales pie chart of what they have funded

yogaflame4547d ago

We shall see if there will be a Titan fall effect. But if MS will not get the exclusivity of these game in console, then MS is in bi trouble. If they get the exclusivity then it is trouble a bit for Sony, but now much since sony still has allot of exclusive and great studios

MSpence5164547d ago

I'm betting it will be Fortnight that is multi plat. It was "revealed" and then disappeared before the consoles were announced.

In other words, there is no way that MS will allow Gears to go multi. They will throw any amount of money at Epic to keep the franchise exclusive. I mean Gears was really one of the first games to show the then next gen abilities.

Off topic, Gears 1 is now free for XBLive Gold members.

black0o4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

Infamous SS says hi .. unlike titan infamous in only on PS4, and if the rumors about titan being 720p on x1 true i think no one will throw 500$ for that while u can ply it on PC

mediate-this4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

The masses that will buy titanfall dont care for resolution. They are not showing their parents or friends titanfall and saying i want it cause its 1080 p 60 frames. The rez, the grahics is for the serious gamers. We know the ins n outs of everything. The casual see a game that plays like cod, but its in the future, with mechs and wall running.

People need to understand that. Its cod but refreshed with a different style of play. My friends who are not heavy heavy gamers, got ps4 they love it, but they dont even know its 50 percent stronger xbone. They play their fifa. Not knack or kz:sf. They play cod n fifa.

punisher994547d ago

@yogaflame:

"Sony has to prepare for the onslaught of Titan Fall."

Thats what the announcement for Uncharted 4 was for. And according to rumors, Gears Of War is certain to be multiplatform this gen especially since the contract is up between MS and epic games. And if PS gamers is really that interested in Titanfall, they can still get a gaming pc for it.

iiwii4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

Or they can just pick up an XB360 for around $180 and play it there... Why spend another $320 to still play the game in 720p?

But yeah, with Titanfall being available in multiple formats, it will not be an XBone console seller.

quenomamen4547d ago

Ooooh I bet Sony is just terrified of a game being made by the same hacks who pumped out COD year after year. I'm sure Sony is loosing sleep.

strigoi8144547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

or maybe the developer of Titan Fall is the one loosing lots of sleep coz they just missed 2.1 Million PS4 users..lolz and japan to follow another what another 1Million? wow they will need to be slapped to wake up from that nightmare signing time exclusive...almost 3Million sales is a big one for a studio like respawn..

lmao any studio even an indie developer would take a dive making a game for PS4 right now, with that 2.1 Million as of now that will print a good paycheck even if your game suck..

mhunterjr4547d ago

To be fair , the employees of Respawn, formerly of IW, only put out 4 COD games over the course of eight years. The other COD games were handled by different studios.

Not to mention, they had been working on other IPs, but their parent company forced them to focus on COD, which lead them to depart.

Fringe_Agent134547d ago

That's the problem now. Shooters every where and it's annoying.

yogaflame4547d ago

These fps generation killed last gen console. i hope the Ps1 to ps2 era where there are allot of different genre will be back

mediate-this4547d ago

What types of games do you want to see? You dont wven give a explaination you just complain shooters with out even your opion about your preferred genre of games. Ler me guess, you like jrpg??

DragoonsScaleLegends4547d ago

If anyone wants to play it who owns a ps4 all they have to do is buy the pc version and then use there ps4 controller.

Ashby_JC4547d ago

Both consoles are doing well. What needs to be turned around exactly???

PS4 is breaking records and XB1 even with all the changes they had to make is doing well also.

Titanfall based on hands on may be that must have game early next year. And yes it will help with sales of software and hardware.

As far as system seller for shooters. Look at what are the top game on both new systems.....CALL OF DUTY!!

There is a thirst and that thirst from a large segment of the gaming community is CALL OF DUTY no matter what system we talk about.

This may sound weird...but im glad BF is not on top. But I do hope that DICE dont feel they need to release yearly or make major changes to compete. If anything I wish they would go away from that COD formula as much as possible...reward team play and less for KILLS (Unless your playing TDM)

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose21d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE21d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername20d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy21d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde21d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8621d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8621d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
