Let's mention one thing no one wants to discuss software sales are a better indicator of company viability. Let's not forget it was just a few months back Microsoft had outsold Sony's console for almost six months and it's software, it's exclusives have held consistently high sales. Keep in mind that Microsoft did most of its sales in the US vs Sony's worldwide sales and that is a better indicator of popularity of its exclusives and install base versus this opinion pie...

So desperate for a quality title, another see we still have the best system, never thought any group could actually be worse that the PC elitists, another me too title of which make up the bulk of the PS4 library. Maybe FF7 will be worth waiting 3 consoles to play right.

There are no paid reviews only option pieces offering a truth unsupported by cherry picked fact designed to steer public option. If you want a console without backwards compatibility, exclusives that are blatant plagiarism of more refreshing work and promises that have been broken for two generations than please keep reading. I for one would like the focus back on breaking news that moved this industry forward rather than keeping one console on top.

Anyone else seeing these AAA companies as being too big to fail, you can always vote with your wallet. You wouldn’t pay 60 to watch a movie (Uncharted 4), a fighter where you still had to purchase (or wait) for your favorite fighter (SFV), or a game with roughly ¼ the content of each and every entry (star wars battlefront). This generation consoles have shifted to IOS software and full price (60) pay to play games opting for the push to digital on hard drives that hold a little over ten ...

This is really an opinion piece, you omit every other franchise (most of which have higher aggregate scores than Sony) Microsoft owns, claiming they are effectively making themselves obsolete by increasing their software sales by extending it to PC. Software sales even in previous generations was the key indicator of profitability via the console market, Sony has sold more consoles worldwide but no one has compared U.S. sales or even mentions software sales. I'm sure if Uncharted was port...

If you look at the man behind the curtain you'll see this started with the last of us, another film masquerading as a movie positioned with appropriate PR to launch the PS4, Sony built an impressive PR campaign effectively beating Microsoft this generation to simply move consoles after the playstation began losing money last generation. Fast forward and you have a console that this generation has become what the Wii was last generation a console for the casual gamer; the exception, the Wi...

Arguments over publisher deadlines make no difference the landscape has changed in gaming two years is enough time (three year life cycle for gears three and...). EA might have had them working on too much but Bethesda for example allows smaller teams to publish titles while not stretching their teams too thin, in essence the quality over quantity. Same thing happened with Mass Effect the explosive second chapter gave way to a less pronounced third and final. EA could have stayed with sport t...

Propaganda again, anyone see Xbox sales still roughly two thirds what Sony can sell and its "power" is far less discrepant than previous generation (e.g. the ps2 v original xbox). People can't be that stupid Sony did this PR prior to Microsoft's holiday season offering to mitigate its impact, if the average consumer isn't smart enough to see past this sad really.

Isn't that the reason to buy at launch, look at smash brothers significant content and support. This brings us to another point on what constitutes a AAA title which seems to be based on popular opinion rather than developer credentials can they make a trending franchise. Its should also be ok to say DICE failed to deliver both in its launch and support consumers shouldn't let developers attempt to capitalize on the work of more competent developers e.g. pandemic in this case. We shou...

Cross platform to PC something both Microsoft and even the Dreamcast did prior can you find any more cherry picked ill informed opinion pieces that constitute news. We get Sony sold more consoles even in spite of a lack of games poor indie support and relative lack of structural network support it the casual gamer bought into the heavy PR train and finally upgraded their Wii and PS1 alike.

To those who missed the previous installments developer DICE rode the Loral’s of previous developers with an unabashed, highly commercialized nostalgic piece that has more to do with cashing in on the latest Star Wars movie than delivering on content. Those who thought the level of support for an unfinished product is “unprecedented” for the genre clearly have never played any of Epic games previous Unreal series (UT3 got split screen and mod support on console). The lack of story, AI offline...

So I'm guessing Street Fighter V was irrelevant. Bloodborne seems the only franchise Sony has that even makes me consider upgrading. I like how none of the fanboys are toting the God of War 3 HD or the TLOU HD, and the previous machine is backwards compatible. Infamous, really none of those titles were must owns, if they were Sony might release one of those compilations don't really see that happening. Sony fanbays can only tear down the One because they have nothing worth playing wai...

Wow a few days down and the Sony fanboy machine is ready to claim victory. How long was PSN when it got hacked last gen?

Definitely agree, the Wii was still bashed on even though it was the most successful console of late generation. Ironically the Wii U is treated in very much the same negative light as its predecessor even though has had some of the strongest line up (and highest metacritic scores) for its software this generation though as Microsoft gears up this year that may change. People are jumping on the trending tech rather than the software that supports it, it wasn't even until recent I even con...

Its again propaganda opinion like this that only serves to show Microsoft has staying power in the west. Sony has to run the same kind of smear campaigns that used to be reserved for political circles to breech the western market, and it has worked uninformed consumers are basing opinions on overemphasized sales outside the U.S. while completely ignoring software sales (the reason Sony kept losing revenue last gen) to see Microsoft fail. In essence Sony fanboys were so angry with the failure ...

Last gen it stood for "poorly selling" people like you fixed that.

You clearly have your brand loyalty and own entirely too much to stay relevant. You own each system but clearly missed (cherry picked its a term used in research friend) the rest of the argument by claiming your argument was somehow lest biased than mine due to owning more systems. I'm arguing that lack of exclusivity may at some point nullify blind loyalty like this. If truly have all three systems maybe we can play a few rounds sometime friend

Why Borderlands is the destiny you were too stupid to overlook, more propaganda dedicated to trenders. Please get hyped into buying more trash that you complain about all over the web than still support rather than admit you made a mistake. Just think is this goes ass up you wasted $120 on two games and DLC if you were staying ahead of the curve and you can be what up (insert trendy hip label here).

The PS4 needs games to support its large install base as you can't ride on promises of FF7 remakes forever (I'd say two gen. is enough). This also came out on PC so not that exclusive, same argument for QB is being made. Multi-console support only benefits gamers in promoting creativity and if anyone who has a brain can see only serves to move away from the plagiarizing outdated IP's in the creation of original ideas. If you don't own multiple consoles please don't trend t...

SFV is also on PC maybe exclusivity is more lured but those fanboy idiots still toke it like the second coming, I wouldn’t even but into this propaganda seems instigated from the PS4 left.
