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.


+1 for Lawlight.

 

3rd parties saved sonys arse during their first 2 gens on the market, simple as that.

To be fair, every corporation have been a fish out of water at some point or another when 3rd party support isn't in their favor. Just look at the NES in Europe, without all of those lucrative exclusivity contracts to fall back on, Nintendo couldn't catch anywhere near as much momentum as they did in America and Japan.
