I don't know who makes these decisions but Sony is failing on providing content for the ps4 that's not indie. Indies aren't going to attract the casuals. AAA games are. Microsoft has Titanfall, PVZ:GW, Sunset Overdrive, and Quantum Break, and Halo this year. Sony only has Infamous, mlb, and The Order all SP only games.

Killzone failed to get any long term community, Knack (loved it) but it wasn't good in gthe eyes of the mainstream.

Sony loaded 2013 with ps3 exclusives leaving the ps4 dry. They didn't even bother with a cross gen gran turismo, last of us, pupeteer, beyond 2 souls, and ratchet ITN. Stupid.


The mp community is why xb360 became as popular as it has where are Sony's mp games? Their first party mp lineup has always been trash. I really don't know why Sony is handing Microsoft a golden platter to beat the ps4 but seriously Sony needs to get their shit straight. MS has a Halo community and a Gears community.

Sony has diddlysquat and it really pisses me off that they don't want to take the risk of buying out a mp focused studio or making a good one.''

TLDR:

Sony missed an oppertunity of their sales advantage to get their hands on any 3rd party exclusive, make mp focused games, and launching a new revolutionary ip to compliment their launch and have legs. 

 

I don't know what you people expected.

Have you ever been through a console launch period before? I remember staring at my PS2 and thinking that it's a piece of shit cause there were literally no games available at one time.

It's always like this.

The situation is DEFINITELY NOT better onthe xbone 

XB1 atm has Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, project spark beta, pvz gw, ryse, peggle 2, killer instinct, max curse of brotherhood, and titanfall. Soon to come is a bunch of indies Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, fable, and halo.

PS4 atm knack, killzone, and a bunch of indies. Soon to come though for 2014 Infamous 2nd son, MLB, and The Order (Had good hopes for mp, got a middle finger to the face). 

Also please don't list Sony's 1st party cause if a game from nd, ssm, etc... comes out next year we wont get another one from them another 1.5-2 years later aka the wait game.

 

No hate on Sony though here is how I feel MS got these "exclusives"

Here is what I think is going on. Basically MS looses billions on bing yet they keep it going. 

Xbox to microsoft is worth much more so MS is willing to outbid Sony on every 2nd and 3rd party exclusive they can get their hands on. 

Hell I can bet u insomniac fell for MS' and EA's analysis that xb1 was going to outsell the ps4. 

Well it has already bit EA in the ass with titanfall ignoring a 90 million+ fanbase (ps4/ps3 combined) and Insomniac is going to face the same problem ignoring a potential 10 million PS4 fanbase (old school ps fans who grew up with insomniac + many xbox converts) for a 5-6 million fanbase who doesn't care for Insomniac as much and already have a bad rep for them with fuse.

MS is the one to blame imo. Insomniac is small and prob. needed funding. MS prob took advantage and offered help ($$$) and advice (analysis that they will outsell ps4) for exclusivity and Insomniac prob. agreed to a contract not knowing what will happen. 

Same thing prob. happened with capcom.
