Comparing PS3 to PS4, it's a drastic change imo. Even since the E3 unveiling it seems like they've just sat back on their thrones and just coasted. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my take.

And I am a month or so away from owning all three consoles so I want them to do great. 


Where was the PS3 exclusive wise at this point in it's life? As far as I remember it was MGS:4, Uncharted, and a Ratchet game or 2, but that was really it. There was LBP and Resistance 2 later in 2008, but It was 2009 that saw KZ:2, Uncharted 2, and Infamous.

So far the PS4 has KZ: Shadow Fall, Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Infamous: Second Son, ect. That's not a bad list, and 2016 looks just insane for the PS4. The PS4 didn't see a year that looked that good until much later. 2011 probably, that's 2018 for the PS4.

I'm not JUST talking about exclusives but about corporate wide competitiveness. Remember Kevin Butler? Remember free online gameplay? Remember the HUGE price reductions early on? Remember how much better the UI got from 2006 to 2009? Remember the awesome PS Plus games they were giving out? 

I am old enough to remember the PS2 vividly. I was in my early 20's. Right now, this era feels closer to that Sony than the PS3 Sony which was lagging behind and fighting tooth and nail to win gamers back. Saying that it's only been two years since launch and thus, we shouldn't expect this or that because the PS3 didn't do it yet is not an apple to apples thing. Sony isn't IN dire straights, searching for a way to win. They ARE winning, and have figure out how to win years ago so, there really isn't any more excuses.
