Gamers, pure and simple. Only the dedicated, hardcore, but sophisticated crowd purchase a PS4. It's my first console, and I'm loving every game. It's like Sony knows what I want before I do. I never played Call of Duty before, since it was only on filthy Microshit platforms, but now that it's exclusive to Playstation, it's my favorite franchise. Can't wait for more Destiny.

Your console can be remotely bricked by Sony if they want to, or retroactively made incompatible with your disks

It's a stupid argument anyway. PS4 is a good piece of hardware, it's just smarter (as in: cheaper, potentially moddable) to play multiplat on PC.

It's the dudebro console in Western territories (people only buying it for third party non exclusive games like Destiny, CoD, Star Wars Battlefront, and sports).

And in Japan it's just getting ports of PS3 and Vita games, though it's also getting some exclusive games coming out. So in Japan it's basically a weebstation, but it's also the only real choice for them (Japan doesn't care for Nintendo, and they sure as fuck wont buy a western console like Xbone).

It's a shame Sony isn't really nailing in some awesome exclusives. I'm happy for Gravity Rush 2 and The Last Guardian, but I know Western areas wont care for the former, and will be disappointed in the later when they find it plays more like Ico then SotC.

Even ignoring how half of the "handhelds" category is still Sony, that's still not entirely true. Plenty of devs were lost to mobile, but what's still there is making PS4/Vita/PS3 multiplats, or the occasional PS4 exclusive. 3DS third party support is also definitely there, but it's somewhat limited comparatively.

No, definitely not ZE3, but stuff like Yokai, MH, Pokemon and DQ.

Its fucking bizarre. Nintendo got japan by the balls when it comes to third partie on the handheld and then they bring their own heavyweights.
Meanwhile on the WiiU they dont have SHIT.

>>321801679
Getting a MH, Yokai Watch and two DQs in one year is no small deal.
You can generally expect more Atlus shit too.

The 3DS gets steady support from the absolute biggest companies and franchises in japan.

Oh jesus its more fanboy wank.

When they try to appeal to everybody but dont actually to everybody then they clearly dont appeal to everybody.

And if you think that Sonys success comes from that then you're out of your mind.

Judging by posts from people like you it looks like they are already doing that.

The PS4 is for everyone, that's why it's so successful
>Shootan for the dudebros
>Sports and Netflix for the casuals
>FeeFaa for communists
>Fightan and weebshit for the niggers
>MMO's for the losers
>Indieshit for the hipsters
>Exclusives for the sonyggers
>PS3 ports for the former xbots
>Remakes as PS2 games for the nostalgiafags
The PS4 is on its way to being a PS2 level monopoly. All they need to do is get some games to appeal to kids and assfaggots, and they'll completely corner the market.

PS3 outsold the 360. Especially toward the end.

That's some goalpost moving, though. The games that are there will obviously sell a fuckton of copies, but in terms of sheer output of new releases and number of developers working on the thing, the 3DS sits behind.

That is if you're disregarding all the games that already got released on it over the years.

And it still doesnt change the fact that its got the biggest japanese third parties on board.
It might not have the nonames, but those are also stuck on the Vita and not the PS4.

I'm disregarding older releases because since the very beginning this argument has been about current/future development trends, not how it was a year ago, two years ago, or earlier.

Only if you're willingly ignoring their actual output. SE has like six games currently in development for PS4. Bamco shits out some big name anime tie-in every other month, I don't even know how. SEGA is missing from the 3DS scene (as you said), as is Tecmo. Konami went full retard so that's out for both. Capcom and Level 5 both constantly support 3DS, but both also seem reluctant to do anything other than MonHun or YW. Atlus (although I wouldn't consider them among the "biggest") feels like the one company that never slowed down support, although P5 is a thing.

>It might not have the nonames, but those are also stuck on the Vita and not the PS4.
The "nonames" include devs like Falcom, Vanillaware, GUST, NIS, tri-Ace. Not exactly a small deal, and not stuck on Vita either.

Also rereading this post it makes me sound like an hardcore sonygger, but seriously, I'm not seeing all this 3DS support. There's simply not that many games still coming out.
