YES! YES! YES!
Microsoft messed up. BAD.
You don't go after the casual gamers first. Not at $500.
Sony's strategy is the best. Go after the core gamer. The one that influences everyone around them and gives good word of mouth to your product.
Hardcore influences the casuals, not the other way around.
Sorry but that's just not going to happen. We have TONS of data on how Nintendo platforms sell when not adopted by the mainstream.
Nintendo 64 ~32million
Gamecube ~21million
Expect Wii U to sell somewhere between those numbers.
The Xbox One will definitely sell less than the XBox 360. The high price tag alone is to blame for that. But lets take a look at how the original Xbox sold.......24million. 24 million! That's more than...
lol.
Stop being lazy. Make an entirely new Final Fantasy.
Halo 4 in 2012.
Gears in 2013.
Titanfall in 2014.
It's minimal support, but its there.
I expect PS4 to break records in Japan.
I got my first error with Netflix on PS4 yesterday.
I also got an error when I went to check my messages. "Rebuilding Database"
It's funny because at launch everything went by pretty smoothly. The errors aren't game breaking or frequent for me but they are alarming and they shouldn't be happening at all.
As to improvements I'd like to see:
-Improved Web Brower. It shouldn't lag when I scroll up and down. It should...
No reason why it can't be on both PS3 and PS4. It's not a technically demanding game and as a free to play title, it might as well be on everything Sony can put it on. Maybe even Vita.
Just a few days ago there was a comment on the PSN DDOS article where someone said "This would never happen to Xbox Live"
LOLOLOL
Those of us who skipped it on PS3/360 can now play it on next-gen in much better graphical fidelity. How is this a bad thing? Game is still pretty new and got good reviews.
Don't like the price? Wait for a price drop. I know I will.
Your numbers are completely bull.
PS4 came out 1 week ahead in the US. That alone means your numbers mean nothing.
Your worse than Major Nelson with meaningless stats.
Vgchartz puts retail sales at 0.76m.
You think Digital Sales are 500k? LOL
Dude, don't pull numbers out of your you know what like that.
Oh, and its number of people who have logged in and played online, not simultaneous online players.
PS4 multiplatform games are leading the chart. So much for USA being Xbox Nation.
Oh and some interesting points:
THE ORDER 1886 > HALO 5
TITANFALL > INFAMOUS
NEXT-GEN VERSIONS OF GAMES SELLING MORE THAN LAST-GEN VERSIONS
Naturally loyalists would say Titanfall is selling more than inFamous becuase its a shooter and shooters are more popular. If that was true, why is The Order 1886 outselling Halo 5? We have very very li...
It was in stock at Amazon for a little while yesterday.
When has Sony/Nintendo bitched about competition?
They deserve it.
Give it till the middle of January. The holidays are over and Sony should be able to better meet demand now that it is lower.
Single Player is horrible.
Multiplayer is ok but there are better FPS' out there.
No, you don't have to buy your games all over again. You already own them and you can play them on your PS1/PS2/PS3 whenever you want.
As for those who don't own these systems or games for them, they can play these games through the PS4 cloud at an as-of-yet undisclosed subscription fee or on a pay-per-title basis. We just don't know yet.
SIGH.
Get your shit together Sony! Get some PS4s on those shelves! You still have the lead but if this continues, not for long.
@Itachi83
Just as good? How is being outsold by the PS4 nearly 3:1 just as good? The Wii U is selling horribly dude. Hell, in 1 or 2 weeks the PS4 is going to outsell its total units. Lets put this into perspective:
Wii U has been out for over 1 year.
PS4 has been about for just under 2 months.
