I don't know what region you're in, but in NA, with the exception of last month, every PS4 IGC title that has been offered was made available on the system that same day.
@Neonridr
As much as you keep going on about Knack there must be some demand for it. ;)
Listen, we aren't far enough away from launch to put Knack (or even KZ) on the IGC. It's not just an issue of how much it's still selling (which we don't know). You don't want to give away Knack quite yet, because so many of us early adopters bought it, tried it, or were just that disinterested in it, given the smaller launch library. You want to wait ...
Another factor people don't consider is that the next gen systems have much smaller libraries, which means less competition between the games. If I have a triple A title on the next gen market I'm going to be a lot more reluctant to throw it on the IGC or GWG given that every new system buyer has a small selection of games to buy for their new system, of which my game is one.
In society, when one party screws up on a historically unprecedented level that party often exaggerates someone else's doings to be equal or worse than their screw up. This has two purposes: 1) To normalize their offense by creating the perception that it is common practice. 2) To mitigate the historic level of their screw up.

"...it isn't fair the Microsoft was ridiculed for doing the same thing a year earlier."
If someone with a history of alcoholism is criticized for having a drink but his neighbor who has no history of alcoholism is not is that unfair?
Despite how fanboys try to spin it to turn MS and its supporters into the most persecuted group on the planet gamers didn't turn away from MS because MS showed TV and entertainment....
Nope. Just keeping an eye on it. That's all. That's why I specifically mentioned that I would definitely buy Ori and most likely give Sunset a shot, but didn't say the same about Spark. It's just a game on my radar.
"It seems they need to look at their other departments and fix them because thats whats dragging them down."
Or just do away with them if they can't be fixed. I'm not a Sony fan. I'm a fan of good products. So if they can focus support on their good products by trimming the fat that is their unsalvageable products I'm all for it.
I wouldn't bank on China. Fortuantely, FROM THE ARTICLE, it looks like PS4 doesn't need to:
"There are some positives for Hirai as Sony extends its lead in video games and the film unit rebounds.
"The PS4 beat Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)’s Xbox One in U.S. console sales in May, extending its lead for a fifth month, according to Port Washington, New York-based NPD Group Inc. Sony last month took steps toward selling consoles in China, agreeing to ...
The point of the article is to highlight how the "console wars" can be productive, so long as people don't place brand loyalty above their own consumer interests. For example, pretending you don't like anything at all associated with the other system simply to deny giving the opposing console any points, even though such a stance is counterproductive to the improvement of your preferred console because the manufacturer of your console is not getting honest feedback about you...
I'm not a PS exclusive gamer. Looking at my systems I'm only missing MS systems out of the big three (including handhelds). Nevertheless, my list after 2013 E3:
1) Titanfall 2) Project Spark 3) Sunset Overdrive
Post E3 2014:
1) Ori and The Blind Forest 2) Sunset Overdrive 3) Project Spark
I lost interest in Titanfall for various reasons, but hopefully those things will be corrected with a sequel. Ori and The Blind For...

My first post wasn't direct toward you, so why would I care if you read it? I don't care if you don't read any of my posts.
As for who is the fanboy, you can say I am (I'm not). I can say you are. At the end of the day, how'd you earn that drop to two bubbles? Your logic was ridiculous. I'm sorry (Figue of speech. I'm really not.) if pointing out why that is so causes you to lash out and call me a fanboy. The way you'r...
Actually, Chubby, you haven't managed to prove anything other than your ability to move the goalposts. You tried to roll out this false equivalency about PS2 fans and graphics (which you are now trying to backpedal on by claiming you weren't talking about graphics despite replying to my comment, which was, in a conversation about graphics) and failed, obviously ignorant of the fact that PS2 was the least graphically capable of the machines, but what mattered to PS2 gamers was its grea...
@ChubbyLover
Really? That's why all of these comparison sites popped up during the PS2 era right? Oh, wait. As I recall the original Xbox was more powerful than the PS2 as was the Game Cube. PS2 was popular for its GAMES. You referenced something that just proved my point.

"What about Titanfall?"
See the hypocrisy that made me respond with that. I took the time to quote it.
"It's time to let this go, graphical differences are less than they have ever been in a final product, but we are acting like they are bigger than ever."
Then let it go. The "facts" are that the graphical differences ARE bigger. Don't play like these comparisons started this gen. These little back-and-forths about graphics are being played on the Xbox fans home court. Sales, too and quite a few other arguments. These were battles that Xbox loyalist...
"What's sad is the fact that the best 2014 ps4 exclusive up to 2015 will be a ps3 game and that Yoshida himself said The system seller for ps4 is a cross gen multiplat."
Titanfall.
Pick my mic up when you get done crying.
What's the last exclusive they released?
@Gozer
That's the same ridiculous logic that led to so many setup for the okie-doke over DX12. There's always someone trying to elevate a ridiculous argument to the same level as a logical one by saying there's no proof that the ridiculous argument is untrue. How about this: I'm typing this as I fly around on my one wing that I grafted to my body after killing Sephiroth from Final Fantasy. He's real. That's what they were covering up at Area-51. Do you...
"I agree I don't understand why people refuse to believe company finances affect all business units."
I don't understand why some people don't get that a company is more likely to take money away from divisions that aren't going to make them much profit and invest instead in the divisions that are more likely to. That applies to MS, too. Ask the Zune.
"I have been trying to tell ps4 fans that sony will not be cranking out games ...
You can say bad things about Sony. You just have to do so by constructing a logical argument free of trolling. Ask yourself whether your last comment met that standard.
