I think it would be more interesting to discuss why millions of people have bought X1 despite PS4 being more powerful with more games.

it's not like xbox doesn't have any brand recognition before this gen started.  have to remind you that xb360 sold more than 80m last gen.  About being more powerful, I believe that being more power is overrated.  gamers on the internet use it when your console of choice is more powerful, otherwise, they will move the argument to another advantage the console have but in reality, ps4 isn't beating xb1 because of power IMO but because of other variable such as better brand recognition.

I don't get it, what does that have to do with insecurity and why would PS4 owners (or owners of other consoles alike) be insecure?



Well it's two thing: Insecurity and denial. There is no other interpretation for why this topic isn't put to bed yet. It's such an easy question to answer and will (and has) received exactly the same answers every time, so why ask again? For some reason some people still don't know the truth ... or they're pretending it doesn't exist. Why is the media and forums still running with the false narrative when it's clear it is false? The answer has to be that PS4 owners/fans haven't seen the need to post articles/threads as much as XB1 fans have. It' always (and I mean always) PS4 fans who end up having to redress the BS.



is the person who started this thread a X1 fan? I do agree that answer to his question is obvious tho, even tho I think the question should be why isn't everyone buying PS4 despite the reasons listed in this thread 😊





You can't believe its because of the exclusives? Maybe you should.

Though its obvious not the only reason.
I would pile up, the always on scandel at the unveil, the way they droped the 360 on that last year versus the PS3 still pumping out great exclusives in the same year increasing consumer perception of the PS brand and finally the fatigue of most Microsoft exclusives.

I haven't got a clue whether the person who started this thread owns a PS4. All I know is this question has been asked and answered so many times that I find it hard to believe he/she doesn't know the answer.





 

The PS5 Exists.

Yes I agree and this is especially true in my country for example. Many casual gamers don't even know what X1 is and every console is referred as Playstation. It used to be Nintendo. Didn't help that X1 launched year late here.

The vita even without sony support, is still getting many times more games, than some consoles (wii u).

Not just shovel ware games, but decent games.

Its time to realise 3rd party games carry consoles.

 

Sony screwed up the hardware designs when they made the vita.

If they had aimed abit lower (instead of makeing a console 10times stronger than the 3ds) made a cheaper one, without weirdly expensive memory cards, it would have been "the" handheld to own this gen.





The mod team finds that the OP in this thread does not contain enough meat to garner proper discussion. We also don't like the hit-and-run nature of the thread. If the OP doesn't seem to want to engage in the discussion they have started, especially one that will cause unnecessary ruckus like this, it just looks like attempt at causing a ruckus. As for the OP:

"all 3. party games in ps4 get also the xbox one "
That's actually not true. Both have their share of third party exclusive support (be it full or console exclusive).

"and I cant believe it is because of the exclusive titles. "
Why not? You haven't said anything about why you don't think it can be because of exclusive titles. An unjustified opinion (especially for an OP trying to create discussion) is just lazy and comes off as spamming.

"Whats the real reason of the success for Playstation 4??"
You seem to have a "real" reason in mind, or else you wouldn't poorly disregard a plethora of other potential reasons like you have above. Either share that reason and try to garner discussion in your own thread, or don't make them.

We're closing this thread because it's on its way to becoming an unsupported cesspit of trolling and flaming.
