PS4 is still has better value. Troll harder please.







When they are winning, they have no incentive to "try". They can roll out a couple meaningful firmware updates a year, take a couple years to truly start releasing their best exclusives, overcharge for PS Now, introduce the multiplayer paywall, and now deciding FOR their customers by refusing options from EA.........and they will be loved for it.

I know this because the thrill/high of "selling more" compensated for any corporate laziness I lived through in gen 7. What did I care so long as PS3 was last place right? The 360 games played better, more fun was had, just from the knowledge that someone else was in last place.

Now the tables are turned. PS fans couldn't care less how complacent Sony gets. They are #1 and that's all that matters right?



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

The only way I can respond to the OP: Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I think both consoles are lacking in exclusives. However, seeing Sony's trackrecord and their stable of studio's, I am sure they will do a better job at delivering than Microsoft. Also, Sony has also added 3D blu ray support, but where they could really win some points IMO is with 4k content. 4k Tv's are hot right now and Sony is one of the few companies on the planet with a shitload of 4k content. Right now you can only watch it on Sony 4k tv's if you buy a $600 mediaplayer. But people like me who bought a 4k tv would love to have that content on the ps4.

It seems like the PS4 is not performing as well as it should given the cards it was delt.(Outselling every other home console)

-Lack of updates.a Xbox One had 8 great updates and PS4 had one boring stability update(Updates are not a good thing)

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

-No longer the king of indies. Xbox One has more indies coming in Q3/Q4 this year.(Its not Q3, yet and since when are indies a good thing now)

-Lack of 3D blueray supporthttp://us.playstation.com/ps3/systems/faq/

-Lack of Youtube uploading (For now: http://www.joystiq.com/2014/06/09/ps4-sharing-expands-with-youtube-uploads-this-year/)

-Lack of Full HD twitchhttp://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/1sjnvb/psa_increase_your_ps4s_twitch_ustream_streaming/

-PS4 no longer has price advantage over the Xbox One (who can blame sony though)More Power, Same Price, More Value

-Sony basically told EA to buzz off and that EA games had no value(We don't even know if Sony was offered it by EA, its not compatible with Now and Plus)

-MLG went to Xbox One instead of PS4(Why would it go to the PS4, MLG was made by Xbox)

 

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

Slow n steady wins the race.

Do us a favor and explain this "complacency" for us. Then explain how they are doing less than MS is doing now and moving forward into 2015.

Me? I know I already have money down on 2 big AAA exclusive titles coming in the 1st qtr 2015 alone for PS4 (Bloodborne and The Order). This follows up my holiday of a nice FREE Driveclub game (Complacent companies give titles away I guess. I LIKE IT!!) & Destiny having exclusive content to ensure PS4 is the best place to play it. This is on top of PS4 having the most games available to play, because you know, Indies do in fact count.

 

 

What you got coming guaranteed for qtr 1 2015 to follow up the holiday season? Then afterwards we can move forward from there, since I am pretty sure Sony and their exclusive Baseball franchise will finally be built from the ground up for the PS4 this time, which will be exciting for a Baseball fan like me, although MLB 14 is in fact a good game. I enjoy it.

Hey Toasboy, since you know full well how many people are interested in Driveclub, please let us know how many are lining up for Sunset Overdrive.

I would acknowledge Forza, but you know, it's on 360 right? I would include MCC, but you know, half those games are on 360 too, so it must be like half an exclusive or something or however the rules will be bent for this since it seems the rules bend on a daily basis around here, just like console pros and cons.
