Dont you dare say something negative about playstation!!!


Is it negative tho? I mean one bad thing for Nintendo right now is their handling of Youtubers making video content which includes their games or mentions their characters, when I think of the words Youtube and Nintendo in a sentence, it's normally in there alongside "Have no idea what they're doing" and "have fucked up again with" I'm sure there are groups at Sony who monitor how their rival companies are getting on in each area of the market, but I would bet Sonys legal/PR team would rather stay clear of youtube if it could end up going the way the big N handles it.

Regarding Bryank75, aye when RvB started to get invited to MS events to promote their games their kinda... free lance love of the games and series died for me and very much just turned into a billboard for MS to use to promote their upcoming games and events, it's fine to say that none of what they might say about something they're promoting is a lie, but you know when a group is being sponsered by a games company that they're unlikely to be as fast on the bandwagon to point out flaws.

You said it my friend!! There´s nothing negative about Playstation!!

I get what you're saying, and I think the fanbase being small is why Sony first party games usually don't sell that well, despite being on big user bases.

Well beside Tearaway, can't really see no first party titles that didn't really "sell well" on PS4. I mean unless you're talking bout Vita and PS3 too. That'd be like unfair since those platforms have userbase diminished after the PS2 era.

Think most PS4 first party titles have been on point since launch. I mean you can't have it all but most top PS4 games selling two million copies isn't really a hard hitting definition of "not selling well".

Besides having some appealing games, they sell much less than most third party games. Many of those that hit 2m should be able to do more. Which first party title stands out sales wise? You don't have anything that sells 4 or 5 million after 2 years on the market and after selling so well, let alone big sellers.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

You posted "don't sell well" then you changed  it to "sales that stands out".

Yep, and both are true. Most of the titles don't sell well, and out of those that manage to do okay, none stands out.

I expect this to change with The Last of Us 2 and Uncharted. Maybe GoW/GT can do good too.

If that is what you take from my post and you're okay with it, then... well fair enough I'll not bother to write more in reply to you in future.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Opinion: watching people play video games is boring and not a "front" that requires too much attention.



Watch me stream games and hunt trophies on my Twitch channel!

But I said PS4 era, where most first party titles are in fact selling well.

Games don't have to sell 4-5 million copies to be considered selling well.
