Has there ever been a shorter console war with a more clear victor?
>>
>>342966545
How can a console sell so much but have so little?

Do ps4 owners even play games?
>>
>>342966728

are you from last year? There's lots of games coming out now.
>>
>>342966545
>Clear victor

The only winning move is not to play, son.
>>
>>342966728
You have to remember that the vast majority of console buyers nowadays are mouthbreathers who only buy the latest Fifa/Madden and maybe one additional AAA title a year.

Has there ever been a more depressing console generation?
Barely any performance improvement
No killer apps
Pay for multi-player

Xbox 360 was the winner in less than a month.j

Gen 7 was perhaps the most well-balanced generation.
Wii won the most sales and the casual gamers.
Xbox was the initial victor for more 'serious' gamers (and dudebros).
And then, towards the end of the generation, the PS3 made a comeback and overtook the Xbox360 against all odds (and largely thanks to most X360s breaking down in 2-3 years)

There is not war if the other participants dinner even compete in first place, I mean just look at the "competition":

In one hand we have the "we are not egoistical pricks and we share wve6with our PC bros": the Win10 box

On the other hand we have the WiiU

The only thing that Sony needed to do was releas A CONSOLE and that's what it did.

>>342966728
You don't remember it's release or something? The PS4 essentially won by forfeit, the Xbone release was a spectacular failure with a higher price point, lower specs, threat of always-online DRM (it did get dropped but the damage was already done), forced Kinect, and a hilariously terrible E3 presentation that focused on TV recording capabilities and shit that had little to do with videogames.
>>
>>342968117
it still blows my mind how hard they dropped the ball there, Sony didn't even have to try
>>
>>342966728
It has games.
>>
>>342968117
pretty much this, people still think the xbone wont let you play used games and have always online DRM

I prefer the MS ecosystem, controller and IPs but its a lost cause at this point. Barely use my PS4 outside of estival versus, beat bloodborne and only interested in Persona 5. Everything else I get on PC.

Phil Spencer is doing a lot of to repair the PR damage the previous fucktard head did.

>Phil Spencer is doing a lot of to repair the PR damage the previous fucktard head did.

I still remember when his predecessor told those who didn't have a reliable internet connection to get a 360 instead. It was beautiful, in a career-ending kind of way.

they set the seeds for thier destruction during that gen.

they lost if you think outside of sales numbers, the Wii was a poison to that company's methods.

how's the local co-op in EDF 4.1?

has there ever been a console war where the victors weren't the corporations inflaming petty competition between a bunch of mindless consumers?

who cares what platform you play on, you mongrel. just talk about the games

No Kingdom Hearts III?

>>342966850

You mean coming out in several months a least

Sixth gen? DC flopped partly because people were waiting for the PS2 and GC and Xbox were too late to do anything.
>>
>>342969090
>wii
wii was mostly irrelevant in the console war, if you consider 'winning' more than being 1st in sales the wii lost
>>
>>342969831
no

This gen had to be one of the worst gens ever. More like next gen 1.5. It was a side grade and they're already in the process of abandoning it. Fucking pathetic. The previous gen was so long everybody forgot how to even make shit anymore.
>>
>>342969831
Now that you mention it, why is FF15 even on there when it's coming to xbox.
>>
>>342970051
That economic crash in 2008 really put a damper on the previous gen.

Everyone has their own definition of winning a console war, so I'm only talking about sales.

If we consider quality of games, Playstation won every generation it competed in. Because Sony always wins, baby.

Who has the best games is mostly subjective, but like 60 million people bought a Wii and played Wii Sports for like 5 days and never touched it agian.

PS3 and 360 had a very engaged and active userbase.
>>
>>342970119
Probably because it isn't on PC

TLG is basically ICO with a giant snakelionbird instead of a girl. If you don't like that, it's very likely you won't like TLG. And it emulates pretty well.

7th gen was evenly balanced any way you approach the question. Each system had a roughly equal amount of good exclusives, and even considering the Wii's sales lead it wasn't an incredible amount over the PS3 or 360 by the end of its lifecycle.
