• PS4 = Shooterstation

• Infamous not even in Top 10

It's launching in February

And Titanfall hasn't even a release month (and is also on two other platforms, unlike Infamous) but some Sony fans still made fun of its X1 preorder numbers (in this other thread about the same topic). Also: If I was a Playstation or Sony fan (I'm not, I'm just a PS3 owner), I'd be worried about the fact that my most favorite platform has from a platforming/RPG system into a FPS/TPS dominated system in just one gen.

You forgot one thing and it's in the thread title...

"USA only"

NA is dominated by FPS/TPS gaming.

Nope, the trend is the same in Europe and Sony don't really counter it, they encouraged it already during the PS3 era and seemingly even more with their next system. Fresh ideas and/or revival of old genres are relegated more and more to "small" games (Knack, Pupeteer, Tearaway) or money-hatted (there, I said it) through indie devs. While MS, the company that was once ridiculed for the dominating FPS/TPS genre (which still are be very dominant on their next system), invested a lot of money in integrating Kinect 2.0 and games like Project Spark.



Around the Network

I think the PS4 will have a great launch. Right now it's all based on expectations.

Once the games are out, and people get to play them and experience the difference. It will be very interesting to see how it develops.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Just because people are buying FPS/TPS games does not mean Sony will stop supporting different genres of games. Seriously, look at the types of games the PS3 is getting and all the indie love the PS4 is receiving.

Lol are you basically saying all the games will suck? How unexpected of you.

If that's how you want read it.  Once out there, art is no longer the property of the creators, but rather the interpreters.  A painting is just fibers and pigments on a wall till someone perceives it.

You just said in another thread that you give ice cream when people whine about Kinect.

You don't even follow your own rules!

True in this case, I felt it approprate to make an ajdustment for you.  I do hope you feel special. 

Thought you needed a little creamy goodness and that little special touch a tripple dip can give.

You are either really young or not very smart. Xbox 360 and PS3 were way more powerfull in the graphics department yet Wii killed them both because the general public was blown away by the technology not the graphics. I don't think PS4 will have a significant advantage in graphics and if it does it wont sell consoles to the general public. Innovation such as Kinect 2 will...


Kinect, much like the Wii, was a fad. It exploaded in 2010 and made MS stay relevant in marketshare sales. But looking at it now, the fad is over. Microsoft shoud have kept Kinect for Xbone and not release it for 360. That way, they would have the 'wow'' factor Wii had in 2006, except it wouldnt be in the middle of a long generation, but at launch of their new console



ps4 is gonna win



im glad sony is wining..
