It's just the natural order of thing

last gen was more of a "why didn't they?" scenario because they just fucked up the launch

Don Mattrick shitter shattered anything the xbox had going for it 8th gen

Nintendo is just retarded and gimped their hardware so they could have the touchpad
>>
>>339076236
MS shot themselves in the foot
Nintendo showed up unprepared
So Sony won by default

you fuck up the launch, you fuck the entire generation for yourself. Microsoft had some shit restrictions on xbone first, so everyone went to ps4. Miscrosoft yelled "wait come back!" and fixed the issues, but by then it was too late.
>>
same reason the ps2 did

hype and momentum
>>
>>339076942
when do they ever made good decisions for consoles?

they haven't won a single gen, like ever

last gen they were even in very last place and the only thing that kept them afloat for a while was the year lead (which they eventually lost)
>>
"It's not the Xbox one"

and the #4theplayers ad campaign, though it's basically this gen's Xbox360 (few exclusives, many multiplats)

Because Xbox One costed $100 more than the PS4 at launch for some retarded reason.

I wonder what they thought.
I had a 360 at the time ( and still have ) and people defended the online only on some forums.

but they do
windows is dying

Xbone shot themselves in the foot at the very beginning and never recovered all the while continuing to make bad decisions. Wii U was never competition to begin with.
>>
>>339076236
By microsoft killing itself and not being nintendo and having exclusive where the developers pay for reviews.
>>
>>339077191
Still. I would say they were somewhat competitive. Halo 4 did really well on the X360, etc. This generation has just been a slaughter.

Nintendo can't be taken seriously anymore and Microsoft botched their console reveal hard.

basically just a repeat of the ps2 gen anyway

they managed to be somewhat competitive in last place for _1_ gen and somehow they're supposed to be relevant

By doing literally nothing too different from what they were doing last gen.

Wii U tried to add a gimmick controller and almost no third party support, Xbone was a fucking joke who tried to control everything you did and a mandatory kinect at launch.

Sony simply sold a console. It is not a great console but it is a way better option than the other 2. Honestly all option nowadays are fucking terrible.

PC gaming is a joke nowadays so no comment there.

Microsoft fucked up bigtime, but they are at least still trying to compete in some ways.

Nintendo, on the otherhand has been fucked since after the SNES/N64 era. They've been largely non-competitive and complacent, hinging entirely on gimmicks and their loyal based to buy the same games they have been making since the 80s
>>
Anybody not named Microsoft and Nintendo could have swept up this gen with ease.
Fucking SEGA could have re-entered the console market and done better.
All Sony had to do was sit back and do nothing.
>>
>>339076236
Microsoft can't and will never win as long as their presence in Japan is shit. Sure they can win the US market at best, but that's pretty much it.

They've tried everything in Japan, went and published every single niche/otaku game for the X360, released localized AAA games too, dumped TONS of money in advertising/events/collaboration with major publishers and so on, yet no one in Japan wants to buy their shit. The Xbone is a complete disaster there too. Less 1K~2K units sold per month, many shops don't even put anything xbone related on shelves.

You can't win when you're fighting on two regions instead of 3 and leave your two main competitors sharing Japan's cake. It's not even that M$ gets 0 sales from Japan, it's that all the potential sales go de facto to Sony or Nintendo, regardless of the generation.

Lmaoooooo holy shit. Saved.

It's very simple OP.

Microsoft fucked up. Last Gen all kids wanted was an xbox. The ps3 is still considered a failure.

This Gen kids wanted xbox, but here's the thing. Kids are poor, and the no used games that Microsoft and Sony agreed on really turned them off.

Then Sony said they wouldn't do that, so kids went with the ps4.

Bonus points: the ps4 is integrated with YouTube and Twitch. Things that kids really love.

Also add to the fact that Sonys marketing was so good that it made casuals believe that multiplats were actually exclusives.

Well seeing as 97% of those 6.75 games sold per console are not exclusives, it's only natural that they have such an attach rate.

Even better, Sony has sold more movies and TV show rentals on PS4 than games.

No nothing now. Back then they even managed to secure things like PSU and FF XI on X360 while SEGA and Square Enix were typically more working with Sony.

>>339078409
You seems to forget that Sony is making way more money through TV/movies than games to begin with. Operating profits of Sony Pictures are way higher than for the Playstation brand as a whole.

Actually not true. They released their platform pretty quickly for cheap price and made it really developer friendly. One the reasons why PS3 wasn't such success. Lack of those things.

>>
>>339078905
Even if WiiU doesn't dominate in Europe, the Xbone/WiiU gap isn't as bad as in America so the console is still somewhat relevant. Being outsold 2:1 is sure bad, but not as catastrophic as in the USA where you have 4 Xbone for 1 WiiU.

>>339078939
Sorry we're too busy making A380's and Cruise Ships instead. We'll gladly let you make consoles that can't be sold outside of your country while Japan is still laughing at you. I mean the Xbone is clearly a worldwide success. A whole 1000 units per month sold in Japan, that's like not even one per day and per prefecture.

Retailers in Japan must feel like they've won the lottery when one Xbone is leaving their stocks.

Most people will tell you it's because Microsoft shot themselves in the foot. And that's just wrong.

Microsoft shot themselves in the fucking face. And when that didn't kill them fully, they shot themselves again and again and again. The Xbone has been over 2 and a half years of fuck ups and disappointment.

When your competition is that bad, you don't really need to do anything to win other than turn up.

>>339076236
With a plethora of very fun games, a refreshing new wave of AA titles (especially this year) which were dying off last gen, and by not abandoning third parties. It's also the place most Japanese devs veer to.

Globally speaking, it's due to their brand recognition (I'm referring to "Playstation" here, not "Sony " per se) which was well earned over the decades. The default state of Sony home consoles is to be the market leader, unless they fuck up badly like they did last gen, so it's not surprising PS4 holds well over half of the current gen marketshare, it was bound to happen and will repeat over and over again as long as they avoid colossal launch suicides like PS3/Xbone.

>>339076236
MS fucked up big.

>>339079910
The future is for Sony. That's the only constant
>>
>>339076236
They made some good decisions towards the end of the last ten. And they keep going in the same straight line literally without bringing or trying something new (until PSVR comes out) or better to the point that for one year it was Infamous + """remastered""" ports: the console.

They also comfortably sat and saw the competition hang themselves.
>>
>>339079941
I don't follow finances because I don't give a shit. I personally have no influence over large scale sales, I'll just buy what I want and pass on what I don't.

What I meant is their niche is fine, maybe they fucked up this gen I wasn't really following. I might have bought a wiiu if they put monhun on it but the only game it has that I would play is probably Bayo 2.
>>
>>339079993

>>339076236
For the last 5 years Microsoft have been busy with restructuring their software and teams for work efficiency/universal application execution. No one wants to wait that long for stable software. They're only going to be done by July of this year.

Nintendo's been shitting up their image for years.

I don't even know how PS4s simply fly off the shelves, and I think many of them don't know all the changes the system has made. I still have people coming to my store getting all mad because online multiplayer requires Ps plus.

Plus that Kickstarter advertisement they had onstage in 2014 was disgraceful.

I think some people are worried because 3DS isn't selling as well as the DS, and because Wii U is struggling.

Though if I recall, GBA only sold like 80 million units, and Gamecube sold a measly.... 22 million. Certainly wouldn't be the first time this has happened.

Bloodborne is great but I have no interest in uncharted. I've owned every sony console and skipped the whole series.

As a Xbox One owner, MS really fucked up big time. If it wasn't for fucking Mattrick, we'd be equal or trailing PlayStation.

On the bright side though, it's driven the company to try to win back people. Sales almost 24/7, free Backwards Compatibility, free actual games every month and not indies, wonderful tech support, official Elite Controller, I can go on.

PlayStation, on the other hand, are taking their people for granted. Horrible tech support (something about that wait 6 months thing is absolute bullshit, your free games are nothing but crappy Indies, paid backwards compatibility, it's stupid.

Microsoft may be losing but when it comes to the customers, Microsoft is the real winner.
>>
>>339080948
I'm not much of a story gamer. I'd rather play dmc4 any day that uncharted. I played a demo and it was neat but nothing to write home about certainly not the "objectively best TPS". I guess it is Amy Henning and LoK was pretty great.

First of all, price. The XBONE came with Kinect originally and was about $100 more expensive than the PS4 at launch. I think that helped PS4 a lot.

Secondly, games. Sony's 2013 E3 was basically: "games first, other shit later"

Add to that, that although Xbox 360 clearly won last gen most of the best exclusives were still on Playstation which really helped.

Also, when Sony announced they would support used games and allow the console to play games without ever needing to go online, that was the final nail in the coffin.

XBONE's launch was a complete fuck up in comparison. They forced early adopters to buy the Kinect, and made sure the console wouldn't work without it plugged in.

They spent their E3 talking about shit the console could do, which was only relevant to the USA, and wouldn't be available anywhere else in the world.

They spent an EON talking about the social aspect, and briefly touched on the fact that the console could play games.

The sad thing is what this has lead to. All the Xbox kids of last gen are now on PS4, and the online is suffering because of it

I own both an Xbone and a PS4. PS4 sales are almost always better than Xbone sales and just as frequent, if not more so. The "free" games I get every month tend to be much better on the PS4 too.

Also PS4s customer support is top tier. I bought a game, it went on sale like 3 days later at half price. They didn't have to but they refunded me the difference. Something Microsoft have in the past refused to do for me.

Honestly, I am beginning to wonder if Microsoft are even trying anymore. Because it just doesn't feel like it.

They make the hardware, but that don't make games, and at best they fund the creation of exclusives for their console. The only one of the big three that internally develops their own games is Nintendo. It's not a bad thing though, and if the Wii U has shown us anything this generation its that even with good games, you need good hardware. Sony without a doubt has won this console generation

You are aware that almost every good point you mentioned happened because Xbone is seriously trailing behind and needs to pander 10x harder to get people back, right?
It's not coincidence, it's not a change of heart, it's just business as usual.

As someone who jumped from OGXbox/360 to PS4 I didn't feel the MS love at all. my XBL gold subscription had zero benefits, and when I had to send back two 360s, the tech support was a bitch and they sure took their time shipping them back.

They only changed their policies due to the hardcore backlash from the public, their whole pre-2013 Xbone ordeal revealed their true colors. Please don't take their back handed late apologies and services as anything worth clapping about.

PlayStation support is universally agreed it's fucking shit. Stop lying, you fucking faggot.

>>339081639

PS4 has plenty of decent games or decent games up coming.

To be fair, I'm a webo and bought it almost exclusively for weeb games. This yeah I've already bought 4 PS4 games and will be buying a minimum of 5-6 more (depending on release date of one of them).

I've bought 0 Xbone games and have plans to buy none.

I do own both consoles just incase you're thinking thats why I don't buy Xbone games.

Depends on what sort of games you like.

This year I've bought Digimon Cyber Sleuth, EDF 4.1, Nights of Azure and Uncharted 4.
I'm also going to buy Atelier Sophia, Odin Sphere, Star Ocean 5, Ni-OH, FF15 and Persona 5 (if it's released this year).

I told you, I'm a webo but for me, the PS4 has the better library of games.

Nope lack of competition just means Sony can spend less money on advertising and more money on developing their games.
