Another monopolized generation, that´s very possitive for the game industry. Or maybe not.

The message that the industry is getting now is very sad, we don´t need new good games, we don´t need to be honest, we don´t need to be different, we don´t need good exlusives, we only need hype, marketing and numbers to sell whatever we want.

Btw, congratulation for that numbers, is really a big achievement.

No, the message is "if you're the only one to not fuck anything up, you're probably going to win". Sony haven't done anything particularly exceptional so far this gen (no one has really), but unlike Nintendo and MS, they didn't shoot themselves in the foot. Add in that the PS4 is an affordable console with decent hardware, a pretty good overall library (considering its age) and plenty of highly anticipated exclusives and multi-plats, and its sales are somewhat unsurprising.
