So how of you prefers Sony?

Shopping research group InfoScout has published its post-Black Friday findings as they relate to video game consoles. As you can see in the chart below, 40% of participating millennials (defined as ages 18-35) buy PlayStation products on your "average day" in October, compared to 48% on Black Friday. Compare this to "middle-aged" consumers (defined as ages 35-55, hi Mom!), who preferred Xbox products both during Black Friday and your "average day." (...)

It's the same overpriced shit Apple does. The same concept of getting exclusive content so that people have to buy your system - Yet not having enough of that exclusive content or having good enough exclusive content that it's worth the purchase. And the rabidness of their fanbases is about equal.

Words come to have a new meaning over time. Sort of like "gay" or "literally" for example.

Nobody calls someone from 1990 a "millennial", and to do so is actually considered a mistake now; notice how many people tend to raise an eyebrow when you say that.

A millennial is actually someone that was born in 2000 or later. That's how it will go down in history. I mean think about it. People born in the year 3000 won't think about the people born in 1990, in the same way we think about people from the year 1000, but we don't really care about the year 990. There is a clear divide there, and people from the year 3000 won't be desperately searching for some way they can group together people born in the year 2000 with people from 1990.

But they will be wrong. This whole idea of grouping people together under a fictional word is stupid anyway. I was born in 1991 but I'm not a millennial, sorry. It's just not a word that I'm willing to apply to myself. It's not something relevant to my life, and I don't have to accept the label if I don't want to. Sorry whoever this offends.

I've been maining Sony since PS1

All things considered I think they typically have the best console

Like with the PS4. I don't play online games, so PS Plus doesn't affect me (and honestly its not worth it for a few indie games a month). It was the cheaper console out of the main 2 that would get worthwhile multiplats like GTA for example. Its not an overpriced gimmick unlike the Wii U.

I'd definitely take Playstation over Xbox. I've owned a PS2 and PS3, and just got a PS4. I only briefly owned a 360 which I played a grand total of four games on (Dead Rising, Tales of Vesperia, Ninja Gaiden Black, Ninja Gaiden 2) before giving it away because I hadn't played it in two years, and the Xbone is a joke where the only game I'm remotely interested in is Scalebound.

I mostly play on PC though, and am a bit of a Nintendofag (although that's changing as they gradually get worse).

Its not the Playstation brand, its the PS4 itself.

The PS1 and PS2 were a beacon for japanese and western creativity, you'd get the best of both worlds.

The PS3 was a blunder rescued by a few quality exclusives.

The PS4 is a fucking travesty, a real symbol of the iPhone age of hashtags and faggotry, riding on the laurels of being a pro-consumer device when all its done is spit on its audience whilst they slobber it all up, shit exclusives aside from ANOTHER Souls game, an over-reliance on nostalgia marketing like those 20th century Dualshocks and "remember this bandicoot ;^)" bullshit, and in general the worst arrogance Sony has ever shown in their entire industry career.

Nintendo's consoles have always had the most and best games within their generations. The PS1's only game was Castlevania: SOTN. None of its other games stand up anymore. Meanwhile the N64 had Super Mario 64, Zelda, Paper Mario, and Banjo Kazooie.

Looking back the PS2 isn't the great console everyone remembers it as being. I mean it had Dark Cloud, Ratchet & Clank, Shadow of the Colossus. That's really about it. Everything else was either on PC or just kinda sucked in retrospect. Meanwhile the gamecube had Melee, Kirby Air Ride, Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, etc. The gamecube is probably the coolest "dark horse" console in gaming.

Gen 7, yeah let's just not talk about it. Total shitstain on the face of gaming. Every console sucked.

And in gen 8 clearly the only good library is the Wii U (pic related).

PS4 is the biggest joke mate, you just got a console with 1 game in two years, a controller that breaks itself for normal use with a 6 hours battery life, the console also has terrible building materials, the online is complete shit and has a paywall, no backwards compatible and it's noisy as fuck.

Sony's 3/4 successful consoles have only really been that way because the competition has always fucked up massively in some way.

>Microsoft overpriced the Xbox
>Nintendo fucked up AGAIN with mini-discs and a 'kiddy' image
PS4
>Microsoft completely fucked over its launch with the online/kinect bullshit giving Sony a head-start

Then with the PS3 they were the ones who fucked up and guess what the normie's console of choice was? The 360.

>>
>>318401391

And how is this Sony's fault?
>>
>>318400740
The PS4 was just a really lucky console. After Microsoft's gargantuan blunder with the Kinect and the Xbone's reveal Sony basically just had to make a more powerful Xbox 360 to win.

Sony got so much of a headstart that the Xbone has needed new leadership and the greatest backpedaling campaign of our time to compete.

>>318401240
I believe this better then the ps4 copy pasta.

the only reason the ps4 is selling so good is that they had the brilliant marketing campaign that stook it to microsoft, just by saying "hey guys, we are not xbox." and micrsoft fucked up hard by saying that "we will have always online and we will monitor everything you do."

the wii u isnt selling well not because of the Nintendo brand but because of the Wii U itself and the naming of the wii u, but also they didnt even show the console at E3 way back when and everyone thought it was just a tablet.
>>
>>318401391
Even if PS3 had a failed launch, it managed to sold 90 millions

Wii after selling 100 millions, the Wii U only sold 10 millions even with classic franchises like Mario, Zelda, Smash, etc

Let that sink in.

So they doing things right when they got rid of the shitty kinect, when they stopped their anti consumer policies, when they lower the price of their shitty console

BRAVO MICROSOFT, YOU TRULY DID THE RIGHT THING!

>implying that Sony success is bad because the stupid competition fucked up

Ah, so it's you putting words into my mouth because of your bias. I never said anything to that degree, I was pointing out WHY Sony has had such success.

And if you can't figure that out it's because they were clever on top of their competition practically handing them success on a plate.

Are you unironically implying that the Xbone is better than the PS4?

Insert a bullet in your brain.
>>
There's really no other choice. Xbone is weaker and shares the same library with the PS4 and Nintendo dropped the ball with the Wii U. We just have to settle for Sony's shit

Sony success was because they did the right thing, just because the stupid competition fucked up doesn't mean that it was the cause for Sony's success.

Not the same guy, but they started funding videogames that look awesome and have actually been getting good reviews, and updated the OS, the controller, the graphical API's, the UI, the first party support etc.

Sony has updated nothing

wait they added stickers a few weeks ago or something? i dunno

True, but Sony has also been doing the same.

They were losing $300 per unit. It was the cheapest bluray player on the market. It had a PS2 in it that could also play PS1 games. They were doing consumers a favour but consumers did not want discs that could store more information for better audio and video. They didn't want to play their old shitty ps1 and ps2 games anymore. They didn't care about Bluray because the digital age was already far more innovative. Ken moved the industry towards multithreading. It forced devs to get good which benefits the current generation even greater because we're left with shitty mobile processors from 2011.

Then you're blinded by your love for Sony.

You seriously think that the PS1 would have been the hit it was if Nintendo had released a disc-based console with support from every major third party? Hell, FFVII was being made for the N64 before Nintendo fucked up and went with cartridges.

So, it was Sony's fault that they used a better storage device than Nintendo shitty cartridges?

>>
>>318403556
Yes, of course it was, but if Nintendo hadn't used shitty cartridges then who knows whether the PS1 could have took off as well as it did.

How are you still not understanding my argument?
>>
>>318403556
Cartridge are better, jsut not as cheap.
>>
>>318403694
Indeed, but my point is that Sony success was because they did the right thing, they used CDs instead of cartridges

Sony could have used cartridges too

>>318403723
Yeah, but they don't store massive data

It was impossible to find a cartridge with over 700 MB when the PS1 was released.
>>
>>318403723
Not him but at the time they definitely weren't. Games were getting much bigger due to 3D and the cartridges just didn't have the space to store them.

>>
>>318403878
Nintendo could have used CDs as well but Yamauchi's stubbornness ultimately led to them using cartridges.

Every generation except PS3 has had competition who knew exactly what they should have done to win but fucked up anyway.

Like I said, all Microsoft should have done this generation is just make another 360 with more power. Sony did that instead whilst Microsoft made (initially) a TV motion control box.

?PS2 ads were strange, entrancing artistic works directed by some of the best filmmakers and music video creators of their time that made their console seem futuristic and emotional despite being the weakest one on the market

Xbone is esentially a more powerful 360

But their reveal fucked them beyond repair

Wii U was born dead..

Now it is. At launch it was some weird TV box with the then-out-of-style Kinect forced in that maybe played some games.

>born
no historical generation is based on when they were born, you fucktards. the ww2 generation is people of draft age in the 40s (which btw covers age 18-45), not infants born in the 40s. the hippie generation is people who were grown hippies at the time, not their babies. generations are known for their impact on society, which generally doesn't happen when you're little fucking kids with no influence whatsoever

millennials are people who were young adults, not infants, in the 2000s

>people from the year 3000 won't be desperately searching for some way they can group together people born in the year 2000 with people from 1990
no shit, that's because they wouldn't make a distinction in the first place. using your own argument, tell me how you see people born in 990 being different from the people born in 1000. they're the same shit to us because 10 years of difference over a 1000 year span of history is absolutely fucking meaningless. you would have to work very hard to justify treating them differently with that time scale. i bet you can't even name the difference between 1890 and 1900 off the top of your head
