The PS4 and controller was right by the game - thick as thieves!!
Great numbers for this year that will only get better as more sales from Japan are added.
And I think you answered your own question...
No, no. It's more to the fact that there are more PS4s in the UK and the game has been advertised on TV by Sony for the PS4.
"Best of all, you will not require PS PLUS to play the Free Access client this week!*".
So it really is free for all PS4 owners. It says it is on the Store right now. Going to download it.
Had my disc copy of Shadow Fall stolen recently so at least I can play for a week!
Cool..
Gotta agree. My PS3 still plays DVDs and Blurays brilliantly whilst the PS4 playback still has envelopes around all of them.
All the media files I can play on the PS3 cannot on the PS4 yet. Guess I would rather they have gaming first and media second - rather than the other way around.
Just would of thought both systems would of taken care of these basic functions from the start!
They did not do all they could with the 360. They shut down 1st pasty studios and concentrated on the US and UK markets primarily.
Just look at Sony's approach. They welcome all development from AAA to indie games. They invest in studios and games not throwing money for exclusive DLC, etc.
Microsoft do come across very arrogant and narrow-minded in its approach to game development. Once you embrace gamers and developers they will embrace you back.
...
You should be a writer. It would be great if they included Sir Francis Drake - even for just a couple of chapters.
There are so many awesome angles for this franchise..
All 3 Uncharted games are in my top 10!
Trouble is we try to compare them against each of the UC games rather than against other games out there.
I have played each game at least 4 times fully through. Never get tired of playing them. If you have come from the 360 only world then beg or borrow a PS3 to play the past games. They really are fun.
Only a few games give you goose bumps when you just hear the music. Uncharted is one of them.
I hope the engine is not restricted by RAM as PS4 has 8GB compared to the 0.5GB of the PS3.
Most developers create awesome graphics and then shrink them down to fit the specific console. If they do indeed use the same engine but optimised for the PS4 then it may be true about an Uncharted Collection for PS4!
Uncharted 4 will be for the PS4 only, and not the PS3 so it will be interesting to see if they make larger environments or include more on-screen activit...
You are so right. Sony decided that all new games by their studios have to be PS4 only - not PS3 & PS4. Hence Infamous Second Son is PS4 only.
I think MS dropped the ball on that point. Most multi-platform games will put out on all platforms but in essence they are just 360/PS3 games ported to next gen.
True next gen games will hopefully make use of the massive 8GB RAM (compared to 360/PS3) not just for graphics but for more expansive worlds.
And what about the many PS4 owners waiting to buy Infamous Second Son?
Simply not true. More PS4 units plus better graphics for multi-platform games. Simple choice really...
Correct - but they are losing sleep over the very poor 2014 sales figures!
And these poor sales figures are for the most part down to MS attitude and arrogance. All developers deserve to be treated with respect, not just the bigger teams.
XB1 is actually in 3rd place for next gen console sales. They may struggle to catch up with the WiiU!
Your comment is exactly why the XB1 is selling so badly in 2014. Even the PS3 is selling more at the moment!
MS show arrogance. Sony have shown respect to ALL developers and gamers alike. Sony wanted to create a platform that is easy for all developers for all types of games.
Without freedom to create we would be left with the same old boring shooters and racers. We need variety. And MS need to stop acting like customers and developers do not matter.
...
How about treating all gamers and developers with respect?
MS do seem to crap on their customers and even developers who do not follow their strict ways. Being an indie developer means freedom to create.
Sony are wise to let indie developers create with freedom. Such a shame MS seems to behave like it has no class.
Both had a great launch but MS are having an awful 2014. The sales for XB1 are real low.
PS3 is selling more by the week and the XB1 will do well to catch up with the WiiU this year at the current rate.
MS are really hoping for Titanfall to save them and are already calling in Halo for an early release. And they have just bought out Gears. Desperate times when you have to rely on Halo and Gears for XB1.
The so-called console war is for second...
Microsoft is actually in 3rd place behind the WiiU.
It may seem daft but there is a real danger that XB1 sales will never rise above WiiU world wide sales. Who would of predicted that 6 months ago?
Big queation is where are all the unsold XB1s being kept? MS said they were producing the same amount as PS4 units before the release.
There may well be 300,000 or so still unsold in stores around the world but where are the other 2-3 million units?
They will be giving them away soon!
We laugh but the sad fact is this is probably true!
Great comment - as gamers we are ALL stakeholders in each system we purchase.
MS are just reaping what they tried to sow last summer. Hope they learn quick and get back on track!
Never underestimate the power of Microsoft: Price cuts, Titanfall, Halo And Gears, never ending advertising will all help their sales.
They need to do something drastic and they know it.
They tried to screw over the gaming industry and now their sales are hurting. MS have a few throws of the dice left yet.
