| bigjon said: Last gen the Wii also got of to a blazing start but by year 4 it was trending way down. This is because it was much weaker and therefore when it got the big 3rd party games they were inferior for many reasons(graphically, online support, ect) my question is does the PS4 have a flaw that will eventually bring it back to the pack or will the train just keep rolling? Honestly to me the biggest flaws are no backwards compatibility (which WiiU has but the main competitor XB1 does not have either) and lack of 3d support. Lack of compat won't matter as much in year 3 because the PS4 library will be filling and I assume 3d support is coming. Thoughts? |
Biggest flaw so far imo is a lack of good big budget software. But that obviously hasn't hurt sales yet so...
I kinda think another flaw is it's just kinda "vanilaa". nothing really makes it stand out (at least Xbox has Kinect and so forth). It's a generic console. But again, hasn't hurt sales.
3d is kinda dead, nobody cares about that. ditto backwards compatibility. dont expect to see bc in a non-nintendo console ever again (probably not in a nintendo home console ever again either). it's just not technically feasible at a reasonable cost anymore. in fact i argue bc is precisely why the wii u is so underpowered. in ps2 days, it was fairly easy to put a whole ps1 chip in the ps2. now, it would be way to expensive to put a whole ps3 chip in a ps4. besides the added heat and power draw.
