I don't own a PS4, why would I defend it?  Just saying, PS+ free games collection launched in 2010, which is 4 years after the PS3's launch, which is 4 years worth of games they can pick and choose from.  PS4 has been out for almost a year now, I personally think it's unfair and certainly a sense of entitlement to expect AAA titles every month.  You're most certainly free to disagree with me, it's absolutely your right (I personally feel that anyone with that expectation should've thought about it a bit more, and probably avoided putting money down on such a silly notion, but that's me). Giving away bockbusters  for free so early in the lifecycle, especially when the bulk of profit comes from software, peripheral and DLC purchases, is unsustainable.

PS Vita's 2+ years old, so it has a larger library (187 games to 62), also, it's struggling like hell to sell, so naturally you'd want to provide people with some incentive to purchase it.  Makes sense to me, might sound like I'm defending the PS4, but, I'm simply applying logic.  If you give away every major title from the beginning of a consoles life, you won't be selling major titles.

To put this in perspective, they've given away 147 titles on the PS3 (PAL), 61 on the Vita (1 less than the amt of games on the PS4...that've soldat least 10K on vgchartz) and 19 on the PS4 (That's 30% of their games library, btw).  30%...w/in the first 10 months (almost 11) from the systems launch.

You don't have to like it.  But, you also don't have to buy into it.  So, it's entirely up to you, but expecting blockbuster giveaways so early, is just not going to happen inside the first year.  Though, I also feel that had the issues with DC PS+ edition not occurred, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Defend because I feel like this is the obvious summary of opinions on PS plus :  PS3 awesome/Vita: Why do I need to buy games XD?....PS4''  hmm many indies and where is DC?            Then again if you ask people what they should give away with PS plus they don't know aswell =p...  I don't think PS4 plus is bad, it is just kind of weak ^^'.

You're talking to me, not the 'obvious summary of opinions'.  This is how I view PS+ and the PS4 currently, I didn't read through the rest of the pages and garner every point I felt valid and summarized them into my own. 

As far as DC, I already mentioned it, if you want further information on the PS+ editions whereabouts, I suggest inquiring to Paul Rustchynsky (@Rushy33) than expecting me to know.  I will say though, the PS+ edition of DC is not the full game.  So, sure, if Sony wants to make heavily gimped versions of current PS4 AAA games, then by all means, that'd make sense.  It's almost like a demo.  Though, folks can pretty much do the demo thing now with the Masamune update out (or coming very soon).
