Wow have I struck a cord lol. Opposite? PS3 had plenty of 3rd party support lol just like PS4 so no difference there at all, try not to make things up as you go. Or were you referring to "easy to develop for"? If so, so what? 360 was easier to develop for, didnt stop PS3 from outpacing it. So being easier to develop for doesnt improve sells, youre just looking for something positive to say about PS4. They did give the competition 12-16 months of a headstart, they're called Nintendo lol. Just ask the PSP, Vita, and PS3 how fun it is releasing after a Ninty platform and I dont see how releasing next to Nextbox is any better. Biggest publisher on the planet is Ninty by the way. Third party deals? Sony has great 3rd party support so...... so what. First party games were nothing but games that would be lucky to crack a million. Finally, yes they did show a gimped, gimmicky controller. It had a touchpad they mentioned maybe once lol and the 3d camera that was beside the controller was the definition of gimmick. Long story short, PS4 is quite similar to the PS3.

The PS3 had rubbish 3rd party support. There was little worth owning until MGS4 and the ports were buggy and rubbish. The 360 had the better games, fact... Thats why it built a lead of over 8 Million units and maintained it until the PS3 went Slim.

Being easier to dev for doesnt give you better sales directly. The games that come from that, bring sales. If you can buy a console for a good quality game or a buggy game, which would you buy?

Nintendo hardly count. They would have done, if they had any meaningful 3rd party support in that 12 Months. Instead, Wii U games are being delayed for last gen consoles lol...

DS4 has actual triggers. Concave thumb sticks. Its bulkier. It isnt gimped. Gimmicky, we cant say yet as we dont know what the touchpad is for. I feel that it will be used mainly for media apps and menu browsing. Think of a laptop touchpad. Share button is a great innovation


If you say so, so what are your expectations? Will it have a better Nov and December than WiiU? Or will it only begin tracking better than WiiU from January and beyond? Also what pricepoint will it do this at?
