But you still wouldn't buy it specifically for a free to play game though. Aint nobody buying a console to play a free to play game. At this point in time, anybody who bought a PS4 without a game had to have the most boring experience with the PS4. The only way that probably happens is if the person doesn't have enough money to get a game with it or they just arent interested in the games that were out at the time of their purchase(basically being forced to have to settle for free to play games).


But who buys a console for one specific game anyway?  Without meaning to start a console war, I feel like only Nintendo fans flock to buy a console for one game.  Whereas I feel Sony fans buy consoles for a combination of games coming together.  For example, I bought my Vita once Gravity Rush/LittleBigPlanet/WipEout 2048 were all out.  I bought my PS3 when LittleBigPlanet/WipEout HD Fury/Metal Gear Solid 4 were all out.

So no, Planetside 2 might not be my sole reason for being a PS4.  But it would certainly be a factor in my decision.  And again, you're saying "you wouldn't buy a PS4 for a free to play game" like somehow having SOE offer an incredibly mediocre retail title would be somehow more of a factor?  It wouldn't.  Not at all.

This is also my issue with this thread. So a f2p or downloadable title that is awesome means nothing. But a mediocre "big" retail game that might suck is okay because it is retail? PS4 has a nice varity of games to play right now. With LOTS coming next yer from the looks of it. They were VERY smart this time around if you ask me. They made some good exclusive content with 3rd parties. Dropped some nice exclusives but not too many because 3rd party support would fill the wholes.

It is annoying that we have not even hit a full 1yr with the PS4 and already the games complaint is out. I could undertand if this was teh fall of next year and this was the case but it's not. People are just jumping the gun and to even compare the PS4 to the PS2 is crazy seeing as at that time NOTHING was touching the PS2, Games cost WAY less then, Sony was in MUCH better shape finacially and was just in stride. With the PS3 they were even in better shape because they had all the profit from the PS2 to work with. They don't have all of those luxuries with the PS4 so they have to play it smarter and that's what they are doing.

Sony has an EXCELLENT track record for bringing something fo reveryone to their consoles. So for me with not evein being a year in I say just wait and make this argument next year.
