>>318224195
You do realise that most people buy consoles for multiplats and not exclusives, right? Look at the highest selling games on each Sony platform, it's always 3rd party and multiplat, PS4 has the advantage over Xbone hardware wise and ever since E3 2013 PS4 won the audience over while Xbone stumbled, so people buy PS4, that's why it's winning.

if you think that's why people are buying PS4s then you are 100% A-grade retarded

It got the hype boost early gen, same as the Wii, and has been riding it out ever since with multiplat commercials
>>
>>318224873
That's why no one bought Wii U and the shelves were stacked with them right?

You do realise PS4 has a bigger install base than both Xbone and Wii U right?
>>
>>318224929
/v/ is full of retards the concept of multiplats being a reason to buy a next gen console triggers people's autism. You should buy a Wii U even if it's getting none of the big titles you want.

Basically this. I wish it got attention for not blocking but in reality it's just more of that commercialized bullshit. Hype kills everything unfortunately.

Now that people lack standards again, due to hype being their only motivation Sony will become a monster next gen and reinforce all kinds of draconian shit that people will likely eat up. Sony never had the negative reputation that Microsoft had so they'll probably get away with at least half of it and we'll all be worst for it.
>>
>>318224929
I think it's important for people to hear this and understand it well. These statistics basically prove that there is no reason that exclusives should even exist. It's still down to the hardware and the hype more than anything.
>>
Meanwhile Sony rewards them by forcing them to rebuy the same games they owned on PS3.

By being the least shit.
Nintendo makes fun games but they couldn't make a good console if their company depended on it, Microsoft will never undo the damage Always Online caused and has no first party games. Sony makes good, well-rounded consoles, has more variety in their first party line-up than /v/ would care to admit, and is generally a decent company.
>>
>>318227407
True except that their decent. They proved that they would do anything to make free money by sneaking in online fees just because, hell they were winning anyway so why not.

Oh sure they're a company and we all know what that means 99% of the time but that doesn't make them decent.

No one is making you buy anything, faggot. At least all of Sony's remasters thus far have had a bit more work put in to them than up porting PS3 games, making them a higher resolution and framerate and calling it a day. Take the Uncharted Collection for instance, it features additional scene detail when compared to the PS3 versions, redone geometry in places where it looks dated, and a plethora of other minor graphical improvements. They even went back to Drake's Fortune and made the gunplay less shit.

How does Wii U do it?
>>
>>318224195
Same way 360 did it last generation.
Every significant Triple A studio is supporting the ps4 version of their multiplatform games more than their Pc or xbone versions.
The only way Xbone can over take ps4 right now is if Sony pulls a microsoft and do nothing but release motion control games that don't work while completely neglecting several countries.

Good thing Sony is about to go all in on VR that's going to flop hard.

It's going to be the Xbox 360 + Kinect all over again. Minus the initial amazing sales.

PS4 made a great first impression at launch and people are too lazy to get into PC gaming. Also it was cheaper than Xbox for a while. Those things turned it into THE console of this gen similar to 360 and PS2 before it.

People are too stupid to build a PC, and the only alternatives are the Xbox and Wii U.

It's basically PS4 or nothing.

It's pretty easy; just don't fuck up a simple formula:

1. Have multiplats that run well for all the people who don't know about the PC

2. Don't fuck over the consumer TOO much. They don't have region locking or the threat of always online, but PS Plus is still complete shit

3. Sell it at a decent price point.

It may not have any games that I want besides maybe P5 (also for PS3) and Bloodborne, but as a system it's a solid 7/10.

If they announce Yakuza 6 for US/another really good exclusive I can definitely see myself picking one up in a year when the deals are good.

Xbox hasn't had a good game since Halo 2 15 years ago, The Last of Us is truly a remarkable video game and that was only 3 yaers ago

>>318235558
I can tell you if Microsoft didn't put in insane amount of effort, they would never achieve a 1:2 ratio against Sony. It would be far worse for Microsoft.

They've actually lucky the Playstation isn't 300 dollars, because that would have given Sony a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio by now.
>>
>>318224195
>Listening to Shu apologists
>>
>>318235558
>all the effort
They are just doing what they did last year, which is cut the price on the Xbone by a comical amount and throwing in other goodies and hoping they move enough hardware to make up for shit sales the rest of the year.
>>
>>318232576
more like
1. be less terrible than your competitors

literally all they had to do was be more appealing than a gimpy tablet and a spybox. things like "reasonably priced hardware" and "games" don't even factor into the equation anymore.

Marketing, son. The few times I watch TV, I don't see shit for the Wii U. Mostly Xbone and PS4 and mobile.

>>318236167
How is 350 bucks, 300 bucks with holiday sales not reasonably priced? Even 400 bucks wasn't really that bad for something that would last a person 5+ years.

Its not just a matter of stupid. I know a lot of guys that don't want to or can't afford to make the initial investment and would rather just dump 300ish bucks on a new console that they know will work and let them play 95% of the games they want to play.

Building a computer from scratch when you have NOTHING is more expensive than any console, even for a low end machine.

The hypothetical PS5 will succeed even if Sony bumped up Sony Live or whatever it's called to 100 bucks a year, introduced region locking, and always online DRM much worse than the Xbone's. Why? Because they're Sony, they aren't MS and they aren't Nintendo. People will tie brands with certain experiences, and Sony has never once failed to meet consumer expectations. The PS3, as badly as it fucked up, still got GTA. It still got FF. It still got MGS. It still got all those Madden games. It still got all those Japanese games. This constant stream of familiarity is why the PS3 was able to catch up, and the reason why the PS4 is picking up where it left off.

It's a meme saying, but quite literally, Sony always wins because the consumers won't let them lose.
