And the PS4 is delivering. There's a thing called 3rd party support. 3rd parties make excellent games, as well, that help also push a system. It doesn't hurt that the PS4 is the most powerful, so it'll be the best place to play those games if you are a console gamer. Then, you have fun indie titles that add to the catalog, as well as Sony's great 1st party support, which will really ramp up in 2015. You also have the fact that Sony doesn't drop support for its gamers just because they are about to launch a new console, as Nintendo and MS often do, so gamers know they'll still have games coming to them even when this gen is about done. So, if you can look at the above and still say it's only because of hype, sorry, but I think you are looking at this with a console war mentality. Even being a PS fan, I get the appeal of the Wii U, and will probably buy one when it drops low enough in price. |
I did not buy a Wii U in its first year for the same reason I'm not buying a PS4 or an Xbox One in their first year; the library wasn't there yet.
I am very open to getting a PS4 (And an Xbox one, for that matter) once it expands its library in the future.
The "ramp up in 2015" part is the problem in my view. If it gets a bunch of great games in 2015, then it deserves great sales... in 2015. Personally, I think it's dangerous to give the industry that idea that we'll pay now for promises a year away. (Though one could argue that with the growth of preorder culture, the genie is already out of the bottle)
