Forums - Gaming - Playstation 4 will fail sales wise. Here is why...

I guess we now know what's responsible for the low summer sales. The Dualshock 4. The demon device that will lead to the PS4's certain doom.

underrated post



Yeah... really bad sales...

Have sold only more of PS2.



I agree PS4 will definately fail. They have released a controller that is worse than the one before and force feedback was used in all of 1 game, so that was 100 million well spent. As the PS4 struggles to reach 6 million sold this holiday period the Xbox one will continue to blow it away and rise to around 12 million sold. Blame Sony for releasing such an underpowered machine that it could not cope in a discerning market. Going back on DRM, Killzone shadowfall being a huge hit in March and removing the Playstation Camera have all ultimately not helped for the PS4 to such a degree that it will probably never sell well ever again.

I have a feeling Sony is going downhill and will do badly everywhere, except maybe decent in Europe. Nintendo will take Japan while Microsoft will take the US.

 

The main reason Sony caught up with the PS3 to some extent is because they were just fine with selling the console at a horrible loss for a long, long time. Anyone with enough money in the bank can make the most powerful system and sell it at a loss to get people to buy it. I don't think Sony can/will do the same thing again for Vita/PS4.

Yeah, no. A year later and the hate is still unchanged.

It looks like the Playstation 4 will use the same boring controller of 18+ years but with a touchpad (which I think is useless for the most part). I have said it before and I will say it again that the console with the novel controller which enables novel gameplay ideas will win the new gen. That's what the mass market wants. That's why I think Wii U will win sales wise. That leaves Microsoft with possibly bringing out something innovative but I doubt it because I don't think they are creative.


I think you focussed on the wrong aspect of the Sony reveal!

This is fun to read some of those old posts! I wonder how many ended up getting a PS4 in the end!

Hehehe I read it and totally understand it. I've been a lurker for so long and read some of you guy's post in the past that I can almost instantly recognize sarcasm. Mines was just cornier. LOL
