Forums - Sony Discussion - Seriously, PS4 sold out again! Why is the hype so crazy??

Because people trust them thanks to PS3. They won against X360 with a expensive machine coming out more than a year later,with a cheaper console this time, they are more likely "doomed to win". The playstation brand is stronger than some people think.

the thing is this is no hype, the PS4 is the real deal, unlike the xbox one.



Cause it's the only console that didn't screw up anything ... (It's essentially perfect some could say.)

But Nintendo offered a better first party support ( and not just easy lasy support like fable remake) 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.


So having offered a better first party support excuses abandoning any support for your previous console (three years now), while being somewhat "comitted" to still bring support is a bad thing?

 

Since 2011, 360 has gotten the Cave's shumps like Akai Katana or Deathsmiles. The Witcher 2 port, Gears of War 3, Forza whatever and Halo 4. It recently got Fable Anniversary, and both Titanfall and Project Spark will have a release on the 360 rather than not seeing the light on it. There's a chance that Stranger in Alda makes it out of Japan (for the 360).

And don't get me started on the superb XBLA games, like Ilomilo, Ms. Splosion man, State of Decay, Battleblock Theater, the Dishwasher something and some others. Wii got, what, that WiiWare game about vampires in 2013?

If you're going to criticise MS for "lack of support", do it as well for Nintendo. Just because they have better first party support doesn't excuse anything.

 

EDIT: And "lazy support" comes from both sides:

 



Sony is really doing everything right so far.

The technical problems that everyone expected were kept to a (relative) minimum, they are being smart with their advertising, and they snared an absurd amount of good press ahead of their launch. That, and the PS4 has a very real edge over its closest competition in terms of price and perceived value.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

I live in the Vancouver area and I see Both XB and PS4 in stock every time I go to my local best buy or future shop. Usually far more XB's, but still. They are available.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

The PS4 isn't a huge like innovation like the Wii or Playstation, but it was the only console this gen that didn't completely screw up. The WIiU has next to no 3rd party support, and the XBO is more expensive with weaker specs. It also doesn't feel the need to force useless gimmicks on you like the gamepad or Kinect. Sure there's a touchpad added but it's unobtrusive.

Sony basically won this gen by not being completely retarded.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Dunno...I'm still waiting for that killer game (that appeals to me) before I get a ps4. Done the same for the last 3 Sony consoles so why break with tradition. I really wanted on day one about 6 months prior to launch but as the line up became apparent I kinda lost interest. I can wait for the time being. I'm not 15-25 though so I'm hardly the target demographic

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

I needed a good laugh. The reason is it's under stocked. The wii and ps2 was doing way more per week than ps4 now. The hype was much bigger because (DVD and casuals). People on here are acting like wii numbers are here. People are not talking about the ps4 like they are iPhones.

Because is the real succesor to the PS2.
