| VanceIX said: Compared to most of the consoles from the last few generations (with the exception of the Gamecube, perhaps), the PS4 has put MUCH less emphasis on multimedia. It plays blu-ray, but it dosen't advertise it nearly as much as the PS3 did. It does Netflix. Once again, not much advertisement. Sony's campaign and emphasis on the console this generation was almost purely on core gaming, with little emphasis on the other features. And I said it is innovative in modern gaming, as in it concentrates on pure, traditional gaming in an era in which manufacturers are increasingly wanting their hardware to be "jack-of-all-trades" and want to fundamentally change game controls in a different way every generation. |
I see what you're saying. I think we're just disagreeing on semantics. Innovative seems like the wrong word to use, but I understand what you mean.
I dunno, I don't see the PS4 as particularly innovative or games-focused, at least not compared against the other current-gen systems. It strikes me as an iterative console with an iterative controller and a comprehensive suite of multimedia options. It's an evolution of the PS3, which was an evolution of the PS2, which was an evolution of the PS1.
I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing. Judging by sales that's obviously what people want.
