Expected and deserved given how much money Sony spends here and generally in Europe. They managed to make Playstation the one name for gaming.

How is this deserved thanks to Sony spending money? There is not even half as many commercials as there were during the PS3 era.  It even feels like microsoft is having more commercials than Sony. There is no flyers in shops or anything.

Or are you talking about the Metro Group "confusion" deal? 

Even Sony does not know why the console sells so much. It just does (word of mouth)

 

I am talking about commercials who intentionally leave out Xbone versions. Or poster ads I saw this morning for GTAV with only PS4 beneath. This just adds to the name Sony has since PS1. It's a factor you can't ignore over many years. Sony managed to give Playstation the image of the one and only gaming machine in Germany, since many, many years. And ads add to this, of course. Effective marketing (that doesn't mean it's the only factor in this, of course. Playstation consoles were and are a good place for gamers in general).
