We've noticed. Probably because they doesn't have any actual first party releases.

That's........very harsh.

Its entirely true though. DriveClub and Little Big Planet 3 are not gonna shift a ton of PS4's. They have a really weak holiday line up in terms of exclusives, luckily no one seems to care. The PS4 will sell like hotcakes for sure, but its first pirty titles will be at the botton of the list for reasons people bought the system up until Bloodborne arrives.

Untrue.

People buy it knowing exclusives are coming soon, and since a lot buy consoles at christmas, they wont wait for next christmas, after all, exclusives are coming in february.

The good near futur, it's one of the reasons at the top of the list.

If the PS4 sells as well as I'm expecting this fall, the percentage who are purchasing it knowing of  Bloodborne and The Order's impending releases will represent a tiny minority in my opinion. Most will be buying it for Fifa, Assassins Creed, Destiny and Call of Duty. They won't even know what demon souls is let alone bloodborne lol
