How the FUCK does Sony do it?
>>319336157
By having good games, giving away $1,000 of free games with PSN, and not being anti-consumerist like Microsoft or Nintendo.
>>319336157
Not horribly fucking up like their competitors. Also having games people care about, even if they aren't exclusive (only fanboys care about this)
a billionaire sonygger is funding the 299.99 price drop going on now.
>>319336157
Taking advantage of the free market by exploiting the weakness of their competitors.
>>319336157
What I want to know is if sales are through the roof, then why is it everytime I get caught up in a conversations about new games, everyone says they have a xbone?! All my friends are autistic cod xbone players or too cheap to save up for a ps4!
>>319337157
Because your anecdotes are useless in the bigger picture.
>>319336157
Allegedly PS4 plays its games/multiplats better than Xbone, latter fucked up its E3 reveal with all those terrible restrictions, and WiiU wasn't dudebro or interesting enough outside of Sm4sh. Also maybe Destiny's marketing.
Even with the currently small list of new released exclusives, it captured today's internet-age of players just right.
by making a good console

Anybody who replies to this thread with long responses that everyones heard a thousand times before and think that OP isnt just a Sonygger gloating, needs to get a reality check.

Source on that?
>>319337781
I haven't owned a console since n64 and even I realize how much better the PS4 is compared to the Xbox One and wiiu

>by having good games
AHAHAHAHAH What a fucking joke the ps2 has hundreds of better games than the ps4
>giving away $1,000 of free games with PSN
Yes getting shit indie games for "free". Just so you know the "free games" have been garbage since the release of the ps4 the xbone does the same thing
>not being anti-consumerist like Microsoft or Nitnendo
LMAO. This delusion this can't be real. Sony literally just bought out the VR game made by Crytek as an exclusive basically the ONLY VR game made by a big studio. Instead of making games they are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising and cowadooty deals at the same time buying off exclusives for their consoles to appeal to their rabid fanboy base so they can market more for them. PSN is STILL a shit service and they actually charge for it now. Sony is THE anti-consumerist company they are exactly like Microsoft last gen. They don't call the ps4 the 360 2.0 for nothing...

You are so fucking asshurt right now
>>319338337
man. the PSX this year was embarrassing, but /v/'s mods at that moment was even worse.
fuck this place.
> go to restaurant A
> waiter pats you down as you enter and confiscates all your belongings. An employee is required to escort you at all times even to the bathroom. Only 3 items on the menu.
> go to restaurant B
> menu solely consists of kid food in tiny kid portions. All of the items are simply different versions of the same entree. The owner tells you he's opening a new restaurant and that he's taking his staff with immediately so you have to cook your own food. Restaurant is barren and you're the only one in there.
> go to restaurant C
> have complete freedom. Menu is large and diverse with good portions. Lots of customers in the restaurant.
Gee I wonder
>>319336157
if you want to play games this gen you have to own a PS4
You want to play normie multiplayer games like Grand Theft Auto, MGSV, Call of Duty, Fallout 4, Arkham Whatever, and Star Wars Battlefront? You need a PS4.
You want to play stupid sports games like Madden, Fifa, and MLB the Show? You need a PS4.
You want to play AAA exclusives like Bloodborne, Omega Quintet, Guilty Gear Xrd, Until Dawn, Natural Doctrine, Atelier, Knack, and The Last of Us? You need a PS4.
It's the console that's got all the games, plays them better than the competition, at a better price. That's how Sony does it.

> go to subway
> order a footlong sandwich for $5
> sandwich artist goes to ring you up
> offers you a cookie free of charge so your total is still $5
> complain that the cookie isn't really free
That's how retarded you sound like right now
>>319336157
Sony always wins.
>>319338746
Xbox
Nintendo
PC
What do I win?
>>319339052
That's not even my argument... My argument is that the games they offer are fucking garbage they aren't worth the money for online. It's also not "free" you have to pay for online first and if you cancel the subscription you don't get to keep the games. Does Subway do that when they give you a free cookie?
>>319339004
>AAA exclusives
>Omega Quintet, Natural Doctrine, Atelier
I love my ps4 but I don't understand it either. The best buy I work at sold out of ps4s on Thursday night, I had just finished spending 9 hours making a nicely organized display for the fuckers, then I come back from explaining to a parking lot full of retards that a 65 inch TV won't fit in their sedan and all 237 consoles are gone. We couldn't even sell through 150 Xbox ones and we had even bundled them with a 40 inch TV for $500.
>>319338523
Anybody who claims that Sony is "pro-consumerist" deserves to be fucking destroyed. You shouldn't even joke about that shit.
>>319339052
Nah, a more apt comparison is you go to Subway for a cookie and they give you four different subs every day for 12 days straight free of charge
>>319336157
By being the cheapest way to play current gen games.
>>319339004
>if you want to play games this gen you have to own a PS4
No.

No.

AHAHAHAHA. You listed like 2 AAA exclusives. Half of the games on that list are shit unjustifiably. I can't even believe you listed Knack unironically.
>It's the console that's got all the games, plays them better than the competition, at a better price. That's how Sony does it.
The ps3 is objectively a superior console than the ps4 and has better games. The PS1 and PS2 as well.
>>319336157
It's because of all the niggers and sandniggers that want to play FIFA while computers are too advanced for their intelligence, because they have no intelligence.
>>319336157
because meme shit aside the PS4 is a good console, as consoles go.
>>319339542
Nah, a more apt comparison is subway offers an internet service plan and every month they give you half of a moldy ham and cheese sandwhich "free of charge"
>>319336157
No idea. All three of the current consoles are absolute shit. Underpowered, underwhelming shitboxes full of mediocre games and very little actually worth playing.
>>319336157
the exact same way they did it with the ps2.
Having two shitty opponents and then having a few bad years followed by just non-stop games for the next 7 years.
