TItanfall launched in March, with little to no competition. Titanfall 2 launched at the tail end of October, around the same time as Watch Dogs 2, Dishonored 2, COD Infinite, Gears of War 4, and EA's own BF1.
To be fair, Harrison was also at Sony during PlayStation's formative PS1 and PS2 eras, where they had the strongest third-party support of any system since the NES. And he was instrumental in WWS, which was probably PS3's biggest saving grace.
Even if it doesn't, Sony will still have 3 of the top 5 highest selling game consoles in history, which is nothing to scoff at.
Your comment's rather pointless. It's not like CD Project has a history of announcing vaporware.
The 90s was a century?
Disregard my comment.
You already said pretty much the same thing above. Stop trying to stoke fanboy wars.
I think because Sony so masterfully played the situation last year that people automatically think there's an agenda this year. These people fail to realize that last year as as much about Microsoft sticking their own boot in their collective mouths as anything else.
"I play games, not brands."
Oh, is THAT why you decided the XBox One version of The Division should get exclusive content?
In other words, you will choose it if it's like the PS4 ...?
@Jek_Porkins
Can you please provide some links backing this up? This is not the first time that I've read on N4G how Microsoft/Durango is dominating the headlines, but between this site, Polygon, Eurogamer, Kotaku and IGN, I've seen scant few headlines about the Durango since PS4's reveal. In fact, other than the GameStop quote from today, I haven't read any mention about Microsoft's next system unless it was included as an assumption in an article about...
Jak and Daxter Collection for me.
Carl Jones: "You can be very successful with a game by giving a game away for free, and then giving players the content they want. And if they really want it, and are really enjoying it, that's when they'll pay for it. That's appropriate. Why shouldn't we do it like that?"
isn't Sony doing the very thing Jones suggest with CCP's Dust 514?
an anecdote:
i have about 90 PS360 games. about 50 of them had been purchased at a specific GameStop in my area, and 40 of those 50 had been through reservation. last summer i reserved an additional 6 games at this GameStop, but i had to cancel 4 of them due to limited funds (couldn't do without Dark Souls and Uncharted 3). i explained this to the manager of the GameStop, expecting some sort of understanding given how much of my money they'd received since 2005. ...
fanboys will sit back and cheer (or hiss) at sales figures. real gamers will do as they have been, virtually ignoring the numbers and concentrating on all those excellent games you listed.
i'm sure Sony does report shipped (not sold). that wasn't the point of my post. bennyace asked for a (more) reliable source for worldwide sales than VGChartz, and i simply told him that Sony and Microsoft are more reliable than VGChartz.
Sony and Microsoft announced PS3 and 360 numbers twice this year. i'd say they're a bit more credible than VGChartz.
interestingly enough, VGChartz PS3 numbers are actually lower than what Sony announced back in June/July, yet their 360 numbers are higher than what Microsoft announced around the same time ... and Microsoft's numbers were shipped, not sold. links:

that's the fundamental flaw with Kinect. pretending to drive a car without a steering wheel just doesn't work, and introducing an actual steering wheel goes against the whole "no need for a controller because YOU are the controller" concept.
PS4 has been in the lead since the start of the generation. They've experienced little market competition, but it hasn't stopped them from delivering. I mean, you'd have to go back to PS2's glory days to find a year where Sony delivered as many quality exclusives as they did this year, and there's still 4 more months to go.
