It seems like the PS4 is not performing as well as it should given the cards it was delt.

-Lack of updates.a Xbox One had 8 great updates and PS4 had one boring stability update

-Lack of Exclusive games, PS4 has no more this year other than Drive Club which not that many people want. LBP3 is on ps3.

-No longer the king of indies. Xbox One has more indies coming in Q3/Q4 this year.

-Lack of 3D blueray support

-Lack of Youtube uploading

-Lack of Full HD twitch

-PS4 no longer has price advantage over the Xbox One (who can blame sony though)

-Sony basically told EA to buzz off and that EA games had no value

-MLG went to Xbox One instead of PS4

 

It seems like the PS4 could be doing Wii numbers had they addressed these issues but they probably will not anytime soon. It feels like Xbox One might be able to gain some serious ground in 2015


PS4 literally just got an update that added 3D blueray support.

Actually. Forza Horizon 2 on X360 is not the same game as what is coming out on Xbox One..  The X360 will be a game inspired by the X1 version.. but not the same game.. 


It sort of is the same game.  Only difference is that it will not have Weather or Drivatars, and runs on an X360 engine. 

But all of the content such as the map, cars, activities, open world, and ability to play with friends online will be the same between the two versions.

Ralph Fulton said of the Xbox 360 version. "Rather than thinking of them as the same game on different platforms, they are different games inspired by the same ideas."    Also said the game will be "inspired" by the same idea..  and not a port of any kind..

It's not just weather and or drivatar..

So are we now admitting that Titanfall is not in fact an exclusive?

But frankly Steam is miles ahead. It tell's me it's updating literally every time I turn on my computer and open it

I agree. The Nintendo 64 is also one of my favorite consoles.

Updates will come. Why are people using updates as a way of saying that XBOX is "winning"? Didn't PS3 roll out slow updates? Almost everything PS3 can do today it couldn't do within the first year of its launch.

Now everyone loves constant updates? I remember people constantly complaining about too many updates last gen with the PS3. Strange that all of a sudden it's a Pro and not a Con.

In the last link Yoshida understands why we HATE all the constant updates. So now that PS4 isn't getting constant updates we do a 180 and start thinking it is bad and want constant updates again?

Funny how arguments always shift.

No, PS3 was criticized for rolling out updates too frequently, at least once a month.

I admit it toastboy... you have point. The PS4 should be doing much better given the circumstances (competition commiting self destruction). It should be doing monster numbers but even the lackluster 3DS outsold it last week... I feel dissapointed to be honest.
