nope. people will still buy it because they are still excited for some reason.


A bright future? a promise of full third party support? everybody around buying one and so will you if you want the multiplayer experience with your friends?

I already feel like Sony is focusing way to much on them, they're ok as fillers but thats it.


That's your opinion. Transistor > Wolfenstein + Watch Dogs. These two are the fillers.

And that's your opinion, I have to disagree. If I wanted to play indies I would have thought the Ouya.

No you wouldn't because the games aren't available for the Ouya. Towerfall ascension excluded.

Good thing my Madden leagues are all going PS4 or there would be no reason for me to buy one.

I'm talking about indies in general here, I've been playing them for years mate. Check my trophy list there are probably over 100 indie games on there. I'm just tired of them now, the spark and freshness they brought to the table has vanished.

I don't see why. I don't get tired of good games.



Does the PS4 need a system seller this year? No, not really, because the system is selling on its own. There are a ton of games coming out this fall that will make people want a new console. If the XO had some big titles releasing I'd say otherwise but that doesn't really look to be an issue.

I think it's more important that Sony not rush games out before they are ready. Better that they release a nice stream of content over time than worry about front-loading for the first year. They're leading the first lap of the race, they don't need to blow their engine up.

Besides, I'm a firm believer that one of the best PS3 strategies was how they would release quality exclusives in the first half of the year and not just in the crowded fall. I've always thought that was very smart.

If Japan has taught us something this early on the generation the answer is yes.

PS4 needs games, it can't sell at vapor, PC indie ports, or pixel counting multplat games.

Console market will suffer all around if the stream of great AAA games is stanched. They basic already lost the casual mid-tier games to tablets and smartphones.


Japan not only needs a system seller but a JAPANESE system seller.
