Because of what sony did with the ps3.. They deserve trust and sales.. To go from barely having better first party than microsoft , to surpassing Nintendo.. With innovative IP after IP.. They proved themselves last gen

The reason I went PS4 is actually trust, I just know the games are coming. I know deep inside each company are looking to make money and take my money, but for some reason I trust Sony. Can't explain why.

Sony did the best job of alienating the least amount of potential customers.

I don't understand this line of thought. Skyward Sword for the Wii released in 2011. Fable Anniversary was released a few days ago for the 360.

 

They deserve to be 3rd for showing some support rather than none support at all?

Because PS4 is the PS2 real child, he looks like his father and has his mother's eyes

 


Yep.



I think it's two things.... 1: people have been wanting a new gen for a while, and 2: the price is right.

Because since the PS1, they've put out some of the best games of each generation. Even with the quagmire of the PS3s launch, they still delivered.



Nintendo dropped the Wii shortly after Wii u launched.. Ps3 is still getting game after game.. Over three years since the Wii was dropped..

Just as fast as they dropped the Wii they will drop the Wii u(if not faster since Wii u might not even sell 1/4 of what Wii sold), Nintendo took the same route they took with the Wii.. Launch a console barely any more powerful than last gen hardware.. With something different.. Yet both Microsoft and sony with their more advanced hardware can just patch features in.. Like vita/smart glass.. Removing any true difference.. And what makes it even worse for nintendo is that they are stuck with ps3 level visuals.. While the ps4 is 10 times more capable.

maybe where i live is different from everywhere else but they've had them in stock for two weeks now, ive seen a bunch of ps4's recently

But Nintendo offered a better first party support ( and not just easy lasy support like fable remake but new exclusive games) on Wii. They are much more commited to support their console with their first party exclusive creations than microsoft who prefer to buy (temporary) exclusives made by others instead of creating them.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
