"Selektive" eh? Hmmmm. $100 more than it's closest competitor: Wii U. All systems are inviting to indies at this point. Xbox 1 imo is the best controller right now. As stated, controller ergonomics are entirely personal opinion.
PR made you think lack of supply harmed sales. It's PR, encouraging many to purchase the system cause 'it's the cool thing to do'. I personally saw PS4's in, or asked if they had them in stock in my area, they always were. Outskirts of a city of 1 million people. If there were supply issues, they would certainly be fixed by now with such a drought of sales for the past few months.
Seems a little one sided dude. |
The WiiU had already been on sale for a year, is in a different specification bracket, and considered, by many, to be a console people buy for nintendo-made games only, the PS4's closest competitior is just the Xbox One, as it shares the most multiplatform games, is in the same specification bracket, and shares the same launch window.
Topic discusses the console at launch, at which time the PS4 and Vita were the most inviting platforms to indies, Nintendo and Microsoft are now more welcoming to indies but it wasn't always that way.
Other than the dpad improvement, i actually prefer the 360 pad, the xbox one pad, despite the improved dpad, feels cheaply made.
Dualshock 3 kept a nostalgic but ultimately shitty design from the ps1/ps2 era that hurts your hands after extended play times, DS4 overs major improvements, and is currently my favorite controller, let down only by it's parralel sticks.
Stock issues were real, you can cite individual cases all you want, there was, on several sites, actively updated lists showing stock availability and for the first few months a large majority of them were out of stock.
