Looks like developers are falling back in love with Sony. If this isn't an indication of why the PS4 could bet the #1 console next-gen, I don't know what is.

I don't think indie games sell many systems...

Never said they did. But as a whole, if PS4 becomes the place for indie games over the next Xbox, that would be a selling point to many.

Interesting read.

If you say so. Honestly, it would be a selling point for me, were most indie titles not also available for PC. I don't think my views coincide with a very large portion of the populace, though.



All the reports of MS leaving the gaming part of the ''console'' as a secondary feature, has made me consider switching to the PS4 as my other console next to the WiU.

I don't care about all the LoveFilm, Facebook services crap. I would like a console primarily focused on games. Thats all.

Team Meat had this to say:

"The sad truth of it is they do not need to change," Refenes adds. "Because Xbox Arcade is such a small portion of them overall it does not matter. And they will still attract developers no matter what."

Go back and read a my prevous comment.



ps4 won't be strictly about games neither, otherwise we couldn't watch movies with consoles or whatever else even this gen. the "everything only for the gamers" is just a myth even for ps4 but that microsoft tries to make a full multimedia machine out of the next console should everyone know nowadays even without the braid guy saying it. and i have absolutely no problem with it, i just can't use most the stuff here lol.

i just hope nextbox won't be much weaker as ps4 if it comes to gaming capabilities because then, even most ps4 games could suffer from it if nextbox+wii u would sell much more as ps4. maybe the same game would look better on ps4 but i don't think they would try as much as if ps4 and nextbox would be much closer in specs and those two consoles combined would dominate the market.

It's an indication of another video game crash.



i dont think developers are falling back in love with sony, simply because they have been burnt by sony before and are taking a wait and see vibe . its funny how alot of people are giving sony the next gen already based on specs and promises off of there unveiling , because that is what happened when the ps3 was shown off and that didnt happen. we all should take a wait and see on what the ps4 will actually bring to the table besides the power and ( personal opinion dumb social scrap features ). sony might not be going after the all-in-one media hub like m$ is but the social features are just another way of doing that without bluntly saying it like m$ is. i might buy a ps4, but it will be after the rpgs come out and the price falls below $300 at least, because the rpgs will be mainly home on the ps4. just like every gen , since the playstation came out. i will wait and see on the next xbox the longest, because it will take more than halo 5 and gears 4 to get me to buy it at all, now if by damn miracle ( LOST ODYSSEY 2 ) ever comes to light i will buy a next xbox for that alone. till then i will game with happiness on my wiiu , but at this point the ps4 will be the other next gen system for me to game on besides the wiiu.
