Some people have complained that the PS4 had to few first party exclusives when it launched in November 2013.

Should Sony have left their old console with only one exclusive instead of releasing God of War: Ascension, The Last of Us, Puppeteer, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, Beyond: Two Souls and Gran Turismo 6 on PS3?

Why though? Because a "Vocal" Minority is complaining? Let the sales speak for themselves. If they waited till PS4, consumer confidence in PS would drop and they would loose a ton of money for a hypothetical future gain with the PS4? Except it was effectively out of stock till like April and much later Non-US, more games would've only made them individually sell less.

Not to mention many publishers were banking on the One at the start of this gen, if Sony abandoned the PS3 early to get ready for PS4 whose to say it wouldn't be in the same toxic situation as the Wii U?

 

Seriously, not a lot of thought goes into these "complaints"

I honestly don't get this kind of comments. So, you think that just because you disagree, people don't know what they're talking about or haven't given in much thought? I find that very rude.

The OP listed many games that could have been released on ps4. Releasing some of them on ps4 and some on ps3 would have been ample support for both of them.  The ps4 has not been out of stock for more than a year. A GT and a God of War could have created more buzz for ps4 and not only could it have sold better the past year, xb1 could have had much lower sales. The lack of games enabled MS to beat ps4 in America for at least two months and to become a true competitor there.
