So Last Guardian isn't a thing, apparently. It's only one of the most anticipated games of recent memory, along with Final Fantasy XV (which isn't on PC, runs better on PS4, and runs even better on PS4Pro). Couple that with PSVR and PS4Pro itself, and PlayStation 4 has more than enough reason to outsell a console with 5 exclusives total.

FF XV isn't a console  exclusive , TLG is a niche game that strung along people to buy a Ps3 last gen, like myself only to see it abandoned,  nothing more.  It is still a i'll believe it when i see it. At best, it will sell to the niche audience already with a PS4, it won't sell new consoles.

I won't even comment on the PS VR thing. Thing costs more than a console and is packed with shovelware.

It has become difficult to be excited about Playstation this time of year. They simply don't have the commitment they showed during the PS3 era and are riding on 3rd party games you can play elsewhere.

Seeing as how there is no PC version announced, yes, yes it is.

 

Saying TLG is a niche game is borderline trolling. It's just so wrong, that you can't possibly be serious. 

 

You know what else was packed with shovelware? Wii.

 

It really isn't difficult to be excited about PlayStation, you're clearly just more invested in Xbox. Which is fine, but that doesn't clear you to run around baiting PlayStation fans with statements like "TLG is niche" or complaining about "No good exclusives" in the face of games like World of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest Builders. It's simply incorrect, and a little bit of researched would have yielded that result.

Those are japanese third party games. Thats cool if you are into those, enjoy.  Who is buying a PS4 for them? And where is Sony publicising World of FF and Dragon Quest Builders? Where are the holiday bundles or commercials to sell new people into PS4 S or PS4 Pro with them?

There aren't any,won't be any,  because Sony doesn't believe in those games enough to spend a nckel to market them to newcomers. 

Sony has been guilty of not having anything for the holiday quarter for a while. Where are the marquee Playstation exclusives going toe to toe with MS's games for holidays? Those days are long gone....they succomb to CoD instead of supplementing it, and it has quite boring on their side this time of year this gen.

Some coments are getting ridiculous. Its like the drill and toastboy came back. A litle good news for the xbox and all rationality goes out the window.

we have to wait for the pr release as its stealing sales since anounced. a few npd wins was probably expected untill release. while nov/dec will go to ps4 by default cuz its new hardware, its still not gona tell the whole story. I say everything is a toss until jan comes and a real trend starts normalizing. But if the ps4 wins the holiday by a big margin, it will skew the trend in its favor. specially since all thouse ps4 xclusives early in the year will build even more momentum.

miight be boring, but its the smart move. No reason to fight third partys on hollidays while they will push your console and have a baron rest of the year because of it. remember last year, the only game that stud out last holliday from ms was halo 5, the rest did not do so good. they where up against so much. and it took xbox's flagship to really stant out while still getting outsold by third partys. I mean, who will really say theres nothing to play this holliday? But who usually says there is nothing to play the rest of the year?  xbox owners.

because it is not even niche. racing games, fighting games and big rpgs are niche
TLG is 2 levels below niche. the ban for trolling was deserved

Gotta give props where props are due, Xbox is doing well enough in NA but the rest of the world is lagging behind. It's a moral victory sure, but it's gotta be eating away at MS to know they are playing second banana to Sony at this point, worldwide.
