Sony havent done anything to deserve these sales, just people who are not really gamers bought the system, i know a bunch of people at work who bought them and only play the popular games mainly just fifa these are the types of people who own PS4's, they make commercials that seem cool with no gameplay in them and present there games like a movie and cheesy slogan "this is for the gamers" they live off there name and thats it.

They didn't try to screw the consumer.

The sales we are seeing now are reward for that one E3 showing where we won against anti-consumer bullshit being put on the industry by Microsoft.

Snowball effect. Word of mouth is king, content is king.

Didn't try and screw the consumer, they was going to do what microsoft was going to do with the DRM then saw the backlash Microsoft got if it, if it would have worked for microsoft sony would of done the same thing, they came in with a cheaper price at launch and capitalised on Microsofts big mess, it just fell into place for them, didn't psn get hacked a couple of years ago and customers information stolen, i wouldn't trust Sony as far as i could throw them.

If you look at the games librarys of the Wii U and PS4.

I honestly think the PS4 has more high quality titles.

 

PS4 has 140 games with a metacritic of 80 or higher.

Wii U has 56 games with a metacritic of 80 or higher.

 

The PS4 hasnt been out nearly as long as the Wii U, and it has ALOT of big games comeing in 2016.

You know the PS4 will be getting games for the next 6 years or so (even after the PS5 launches).

Its hard to recammend a Wii U to people, even now.

The price is too high for a system with a few quality titles, even if some of them are really good.



PS4 might outsell Wii U 10:1 lifetime



I more of a casual gamer now myself, my time is very limited playing games and Nintendo have the games that appeal to me, platformers are my thing which the console has, theres games i havent got around to playing let alone even buying yet, so its not a big deal to me there are not as many games as the other systems, the NX would have to blow me away for me to consider purchasing and i dont think it will do that, are you not angry that Sony are bringing a better version of the PS4 console out that most likely will have exclusive titles on it.

Fully deserved as well!

Sony deserves nothing for how they treated the Playstation Vita! They have just the luck to have the most powerful system which what everyone wants right now. That's it!

yup..... gotta be the dumbest post I've seen in relation to stuff like this. Well, maybe not the worst but in my current top 3. 

Sony making a better console than both it's competitors is enough. And anyone that plays games is a gamer. And maybe you should look at software sales of the PS4. Lastly... coming on here to claim some BS about how they were gonna do exactly what MS was gonna do but got cold feet or some crap is just that.... stupid ignorant crap when all the facts are there for you to see.. Hint; Sony unveiled the PS4 and their initiative and plan for the console over 3 months before MS said anything about the XB1.

OMG...... dude. Stop. please just stop. who do you think Sony is? Nintendo?



The only good console sells more? So surprised...

Wii U is terrible, bad graphics, terrible exclusives and Nintendo games are always the same, terrible terrible Console with no 3rd party support. I hope NX brings good exclusives and more MP games or they are done.

Ps4 on the other hand, all MP Games, better exlusives like Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 , Ratchet, DC, UD and much more, and DLC for Cod and so on.

Great Console, Xbox is not bad aswell, just the announce killed many sales back in the day.



Congrats, Fifa, COD and GTA! Nice job
