I never liked Resistance. The lore was good, but the level design was circa 1999. Never played Heavenly Sword. Uncharted was awesome, and I've heard good things about Warhawk. Until Dawn came out in late August of 2015, and was basically the turning point. That's when PS4 started to really take off in terms of good games. But that's more or less right around the two year mark for the console.

LBP3 was on PS3, so it didn't matter.

Edit: Switch had a bonkers first year. Wii was crazy with good games out of the gate too. Xbox launched with Halo. Dreamcast was stacked with amazing games for the two years that it existed. 360 had Halo 3, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, and Crackdown in the first two years.  So IMO there have been consoles that have done better than Playstation consoles out of the gate. 

Well, you not playing (or liking) those games is of no consequence. :P

Point is those games existed and helped things along (LBP3, for example, was better on PS4 and also sold better on it ~ unless, of course, you're going to say that Halo: infinite won't matter for the Scarlett). And, it's irrelevant if other systems do better than PlayStation out of the gate. Historically, they also run out of steam before it, which was my point. People buy PlayStation consoles early because it has proven track record of consistency with games. PS5 should be no different.

I would say that Halo Infinite doesn't matter for Scarlet. In fact I would say that none of the XB1's exclusives matter so long as they are playable on PC. 

I agree absolutely with the bolded. PS consoles just keep going, and going, and going, once they gain steam. Sony has the best mix of 3rd party AAA games, and world class first party content. 

I'm just saying some people might want to wait a few years, because Playstation consoles have been slow out of the gate with good exclusives. That and the first model of a PS system has been the model to not get for the past few generations.
