"is thist he poor lineups ever??"

...

I was thinking the same thing when I watched the launch line up. I really wanted to like the ps4. I just cannot justify a purchase with such software.
If you exclude Sega and other smaller console manufacturers, I think the answer would be yes to the question. Worst launch lineup I've seen.

Well, maybe in a few years. Or when it's $200 or so.

Dat signature. Look back to just last gen, and compare any of those launch lineups to this one. That, or you're too young to remember what the Gamecube/PS2 launched with.

It's a decent launch lineup, though it's a bit lacking in genres, thanks to Driveclub/NFSR being pushed forward, and no RPG in there.


If your profile is correct I'm older than you by a fair margin. And I have owned almost all consoles that have been released, including some comercial failures from Sega and Nintendo (Virtual boy)

I don't need 10 multiplat games that I can play even on smartphones. I take a single AAA game over those yearly releases that I can play everywhere (madden, cod, assasins creed, fifa, etc). And the ps4 is lacking that killer app.

The gamecube launch lineup was clearly better than this.

But to your credit, you would be correct if your argument is that the PS3 had an equally bad launch lineup. It's a close call.

So...

1) Not a fan of Killzone, Infamous, or other Sony devs/franchises

2) You prefer ANY exclusives to simply variety of games - yearly or not, indie, exclusives and near launches. Lol, go ahead, get the smartphone versions

3) You own commercial (and gameplay, in the face of the VB) failures, but an actual promising console you'd prefer to buy much cheaper/later

Older or not, it doesn't matter. You can dislike the launch lineup, but it's undeniable that it's quite varied and a lot better than any 7th gen one, while being decent in itself.
