I find that pretty hard to believe. They keep trying to put forth this notion that LOTS of people who never played PS3, are buying PS4. And quite frankly, considering how many PS3s eventually wound up out in the wild, I just don't really buy it. MOST of the people who already own PS4, are people who likely owned PS3. Just like MOST people who own an Xbone, likely owned a 360. Not ALL, but most, for sure. I just don't buy these lofty claims of totally new buyers.

Well 40% is a number almost comparable to a current gen 3rd placer sales so... Can't really say the same is true for xbox one.

PR spin to justify all the remasters.

We all know that most of these remasters will be bought by people who played the original anyway.

The only reason they're making remasters is because they're low effort, cheap to produce and fill in droughts in first party line-up.

The only people who care about first party line up are on Nintendo b/c 3rd party barely exists, for the rest of the gaming world, its just game line-up.

Price and Popularity are much more of a distinguishing figure than exclusives at this point. Only the big titles like Halo are things people actually care about.

If you don't fill up droughts with something, remasters, indies, etc... your going to end up like the Wii U which huge launch droughts b/c Nintendo didn't realize that HD development is serious shit. That's called poor planning ladies and gentlemen.

And the whole nothing's better that "crap" argument might be appealing on the internet, but in the real world,

 

and you can see that on teh Front Page holmes.

You can demonize remasters all you want but without a viable alternative, you simply don't have a high horse to stand on.
