Im quite shocked nobody brought this up before. Nothing seems to be going Sonys way with the launch of PS4.

Lets list a few things theyre doing wrong.

 

  • Releasing after the competition
  • Losing money on the console at launch once again
  • Releasing at a higher pricepoint than the competition
  • Focusing on Indie titles, which very few people care about, while the competition go after brilliant AAA games like Minecraft
  • Releasing with less value in the box when compared to the competition
  • Using last generation controllers, while the competition moves forward with exciting new technology
  • Forcing gamers to pay to play online, or as its more commonly known - Shamelessly stealing Microsofts online ideas
  • Launching the biggest IP they have on a competing platform, and Gran Turismo 6 on PS3
  • Launching with no system selling exclusives releasing at or around launch
  • Launching with an absolutely terrible headset in comparison to the competition
  • Launching with a focus on last gen games
  • Releasing a console thats very, very similar to the Xbox One. They should change some policies around to be different
  • Apparently bundling the PS4 with the PSV, making it look unattractive to the general consumer

 

These are only a few problems that Sony will/do have. I genuinely hope they fix some of these problems before launch, because I like competition! Id hate to see one console run away with things again, so please Sony. Get your act together.

What do the good people of VGChartz think? Will Sony pull the PlayStation 4 out of the pisshole that its currently sitting in?

Edit - Id also like to thank Kantor for his great analysis.

You forgot the fact that the system is so laughably underpowered, it's actually sharing multiplats with the PS2.

Your post is a joke!

They are releasing before MS in America and a host of european countries? Or are you that stupid or just ignorant?

How do you know they are losing money on the console at launch? Please provide the evidence. Just because a MS shill says they are gonna break even doesn't mean they actually are. Apparently MS paid AMD $3 Billion for the APU and associated costs?

Higher pricepoint? Errr Duh

Less value? I'll be ordering the PS4 with 2 controllers,PSEye and Killzone Shadowfall for $499. I think anyone knows which is the better value?

Give yourself a pat on the back as paying to access features like F2P games,Netflix,Internet and Skype are all free on every other platform. This is definate bonus for Xbox owners!

Its called supporting your existing customer base and ensuring their loyalty. PS3 has some great games coming whereas where are the MS first party titles for 360?

Sytem selling exclusives like Ryse? DR3? Or Forza? Don't make me laugh! These are the only exclusives that are gonna be released with said system. Sony have KZ Shadowfall,DriveClub and Knack

Last gen games? Ryse is next gen espacially after being universally panned for having shite gameplay. DR3 is totally different to DR1 or DR2 innit???? Anothwer stupid comment
