Then who does, exactly?

maybe nobody does. 

but i know sony sure as hell doesnt. the reason it is being bought in droves is because of the hive mind mentality of consumers, not because sony is aggressively putting out top of the line software. 

 

Nobody does is hardly a valid answer. That almost comes off as 'it isn't my console if choice so they shouldn't get it' but the mass market has disagreed. I also don't think the hive mind mentality is a good excuse either considering the states are close to tied as it is. It basically boils down to personal preference and the fact of the matter is, both other companies shot themselves in the foot so this is the kind of response they got.

i just wish sony lived up to their promise that they made during the feb 13 unveiling of the ps4. cerny and others tried to make us believe that we were going to see ps2 level support, and that isnt even close to what happened. they tried to get us to believe that the development cycles will be more like ps1/ps2 and less like ps3, but that also isnt even close to what ended up happening. instead of all that, make way for exclusive partnerships with third parties so people can buy the multiplat on ps4 instead of x1. i wish sony would just focus that effort on making games of their own.

I would absolutely say that we're seeing ps2 level of support. Indie games are floboard the market, Japanese devs are back on board and because of this the platform already has a library that is only second to steam. They've put PlayStation center stage for the entire company. How is there not ps2 level of support? The difference I see, is back then GTA, MGS, Final Fantasy were 3rd party exclusive. Now they've gone multiplat. So instead of securing all these outsourced exclusives, they've secured third party exclusive advertising. This is the day and age we live in now (something that was brought about in part by MS mind you) and this just might be our next golden era of gaming. 

Honestly, have you never seen people exclaim that PS4 is the true successor to PS2?
