and its not freaking sonys games, we talk about games on a sony system...

That's always the case! Are you new to this?


thats not allways the case... but i still feel stupid because its allways the case if we dont talk about nintendo...

That's Nintendo's fault. They have the worst third party support. When even the X1 has better support than the 3DS and Vita than the WiiU, you know they do something wrong.

Let's stay on topic though. This is about the PS4 and it has great support as you can see.


i wouldnt call it support... there would be just no multiplat games without the ps4^^.(and no ps4 without multiplat games).

its like saying the car industrie gets great support from the gasstations...

You're trying too hard to downplay PS4 SW sales. Fact is, PS4 SW is selling very well.

Also, PS4 could have survived easily with just first-party games, though its sales wouldn't have been a quarter as good as its now. Getting support from third-party is necessary for every console to sell, otherwise you end up like the Wii U.

It sold 4 million copies of COD: AW, that's impressive.

PS4 would have survived with just first-party games, but as I said it would have sold a fraction of what it did yet. There are many gamers who buy PS consoles just or mostly for the exclusives.

it sold 7 million copies of cod if you count both together,  sames goes for fifa.  and its not impressiv, we all knew that the ps4 is winning this gen since 6 months before the launch and we all knew that cod sales some million games every year.

But when niche games like Infamous: Second Son and year-old remasters like TLOU: R sell over 2 million units it definitely is impressive.

And most people here were talking about the overall list of million sellers on PS4, which is almost as much as XB1 and Wii U combined.

I came here expecting to see a literal fire. I was disappointed when I did not see one.

infamous is indeed impressiv, tlou not so much, so much hype(and not niche, zombies are the hottes topic atm).

the wiiu has impressiv attachment rates. some games are close to 50% thats impressiv, but its alot easyer if u just sale 8m consoles.

and the xbone is just buyed for a very small type of games casual gamers like.

I never said TLOU: R is niche, but its a year-old PORT of a game which already sold 7 million units on PS3. So these sales on PS4 are indeed impressive. Most zombie games don't sell this well.

The more interesting question is: Who does make money on PS4?

EA, Activision, Take 2, Ubisoft, probably all of them more than Sony.
