And so we find PS4 facing Christmas with one of the weakest exclusive line-ups on record, and a third-party slate that's not much better. PS4's best games, from Shadow of Mordor to Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls, can almost without exception be played on PS3. True new-generation games like Batman: Arkham City and The Witcher 3 have retreated into 2015 - and a good thing too, if the shambles that is the one exception, Assassin's Creed Unity, is anything to go by. The rest are remasters. Once again: why have we bought these machines?

Even allowing for DriveClub, and PSN's ups and downs (mostly downs), and those damned rubber sticks, Sony has had a great year. PlayStation 4 has had a great year. But PlayStation 4 owners haven't, not really. We've done our part: bought the machines in good faith and persuaded ourselves that those extra frames per second, those extra lines of resolution, are really worth it. It's getting hard to keep that up. The PS4 must be the most successful console without a killer app there's ever been, but its momentum can't last forever, its feelgood factor has worn off, and its opponent has got its act together. Sony - and all your partners - it's over to you.

Sorry PS4 owners. Eurogamer says you haven't had a good year

Haters gonna hate.

It got Fifa, Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed and that's what its target demographic wants to play. If you don't like it, get a Xbox Vita Tablet. Yeah, that.

In terms of games PS4 did extremely well. Lots of multiplats and good games. While one competitor has one game per month and another basically being the same as PS4, I have to say PS4 is the console to own in 2014.

The present may be underwhelming, but the future is very bright. Patience will be rewarded!

I have to agree. I understand why PS4 is doing so well compared to the competition, but I've yet to encounter a convincing reason why it's setting a record-breaking pace, especially when so many of its hallmark games are available on other systems.

The PS3 ended on such a high note that some people just expected it to transfer to the PS4. Unfortunately, these things take time. We've seen over the last year that these machines are not just new to us the consumer but even to the publishers and developers. I think back to the Xbox 360 and PS3s launch and I remember feeling the same way, where are my new cool games I kept asking myself. In time, they came and eventually got over that mentality.

Like others have said, we're still getting some good multiplats to hold us over. I don't even own a PS4, I have an Xbox One but I can understand how you feel since there isn't much of a difference between the two at this moment game wise. I saw this coming to be honest, which was why I leaned towards the Xbox One more at the start, since the 360 is where I normally played my online shooters and such. When the PS4 starts coming out with things like Bloodborne and Uncharted, I'll get one of those too.

Pretty much why I see no reason for me to buy one.

This guy surely never lived a first year.
