E-sports arent realy sports, more like ppl obsessed with veideogames that somehow managed to make other ppl give them money to play, videogames are a distraction, leisure, some genious managed to trick ppl into paying him to have fun. Its kinda like professional poker in that sense.

And having youtubers doing parodys is great to increse the popularity of the brand, but if the brand is the most popular even without the youtubers than its doing super great, having youtubers dedicated to Sony would be great pblicity but thats somethign that comes naturaly, Nintendo and MS didnt hire ppl to make youtube videos for them, I have no idea why nobody has a dedicated Sony channel tough.


I am sure at one time sports was just for leisure, but then it became about pride and popularity (and once civilization begans it drove money). The tie in between sports and economics and the newly e-sports and economics is a natural occurance.

Playstation really is lacking in culture, I'll admit.

Having been a Nintendo fanboy all my life, and rocking X-boxes as my secondary systems for two gens now, I was shocked at the lack of community and interesting exclusive franchises when I made the jump to PS4/Wii U this gen.

Pretty sad, really. I still enjoy my PS4 here and there, but it really is just a mass-market machine and little else.

Probably because the 30+ million ps4 owners are too busy playing and buying games to worry about trivial stuff like that.

Close to 80% of sales for the new need for speed were on ps4 alone as are most of Ubisoft game sales.
Xb1 and Wii U are smaller userbases and libraries so of course they have more time to do that stuff.

That's my take on it anyway :)


+1.

 

 

And Sony is about to make a big push for E-Sports.  If they play their cards Playstation could become the platform for E-Sports (And objectively I can say it should besides PC).



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

MS practically invented e-sports, and the vast majority like LOL, COD, and BattleField are on PC. PlayStation has the EVO fighting games.

With regard to youtube, Minecraft online is PC, not Xbox alone, there is a subset of those who play it on Xbox, but those are typically the people who also play it on PC, where mods and the like make it a very different game.

Youtubers who cover PS tend to be multiplatform gamers, which again make up the minority. 

The Majority of videos regarding Nintendo are of their older games, because Nintendo is generally regarded as the most important video game company in history

I wonder is the bolded True? Like do you think people who just have a single brand are the Majority, I can't really picture myself being locked into a single brand... like say if you enjoy Playstation games that's fine, but if you also sit down and play through Halo does that mean you have less fun with your Playstation games afterwards or you can't play Tetris on the bog without taking from the other 2 systems? :o odd logic.

I'm not saying you're incorrect, just wondering are there more people out there who would rather miss out on great games because they happen to be on a "Rival" console to the main one they love tho. Or are there more people who just play games regardless of the box in front of their TV (can also put a PC there! simmer down :D )


By the statistics of 7th gen, and possibily this gen as well... if we are talking only about the 3 platforms, most gamers are single platforms in the gen (but not tied with one brand forever, as you can see the migration from PS2->X360->PS4... I believe it was like 1/3 of gamers had 2 or 3 platforms on the gen (7th gen)

I feel sorry for you if you actually believe that. But to use your logic against you: Sony fans on this site mostly talk about how much their PS4 has sold while Nintendo fans constantly hold online tournaments on this site.

And there are much more Sony related videos on youtube than Nintendo ones anyway (22 million vs 9 million), so I guess you're double wrong.

Seriously are there any mods reading this. Cause Im fairly sure the thread was a flamebait and the discussion has derailled into back and forth bickering and overall trolling right now.

The things the OP mention are not even things therefore shouldnt be topic for discussion, he mustve known hed start a flamewar when he created this pointless thread.


I'm trying to figure out what to do with this thread.  I can't tell if it's serious or a joke thread.  Apparently a lot of people are interested in watching people play video games, rather than just playing video games themselves.  I don't get it.

If I may put my 2 cents, keep the thread and ban/moderate all the people that broke the rules.

I only like to see people playing when is a friend alternating the control.. but I guess that analysts on youtube could increase awareness and improve sales, so it isn't negative... Not sure the strategy sony would have to implement to get it done.

On the e-sports let's see if GT can get bigger (because the Nissan Academy I would say is the biggest e-sport event I ever seen, not by the monetary prize for the 1st place but a real career opportunity is unique), SFV will be big, UC could improve on MP side and Maybe start interest in Destiny MP, CoD is with PS4 now. So I would say sooner or later it will possibly be stronger on PS4 than on X1 and WiiU.
