What bothers me is that, even without anything resembling a killer app at launch, the PS4 will likely sell gangbusters. I have no problem with the PS4 winning the 8th gen, but I'd like it if Sony earned it.


Building the most powerfull hardware at cheaper price is not earning it?

Taking the safe route and riding off competitors mistakes is arguable that it isn't earned but just winning by default :P

I can't stress the term "arguable" enough here.

I have always said that while Sony does make great consoles and even greater exclusives, they have never dominated because they were revolutionary outstanding.  The competition just sucked SOOOOOOOOO bad.

 

Example:  Gamecube.

They dominated because of the third party support.

Seriously before you spout that off think of their competition from the consumer's point of view:

XBOX:  

-Games looked a little better

-It was  huge with a hard to use controller

-Within a few months of its launch it cost $100 more than the now $200 PS2

-The PS2 had already been out for 19 months!!!

 

Gamecube:

-Games looked the same

-It couldn't play DVD's, CD's, or other media

-It looked like a Hasbro Kids Toy

-Within months of lauch the PS2 was the same price

-The PS2 had already been out for 18 months!!!
