Ms made a bad error with DRM.

However Sony is throwing it away right now. Driveclub is a shambles with its average reviews and broken online aspect of an online heavy game. The order has terrible previews. And my friends are struggling to justify their ps4 right now. They bought because of titles Luke driveclub and the order.

Microsoft just need to keep up the exclusives with good reviews. Indies are all coming so slowly ps4 is looking pretty much a 3rd party machine only atm. I only really see uncharted trying to compete with halo 5, quantum break and rise of the tomb raider. Bloodbourne is coming next year. Butsales will be low for that game as history shows.

Sony are throwing it all away.

tell yourself that enough and you might just beleive it one day! Gran Turismo 7 will be SOny's answer to Halo not Uncharted. Just conveniently forget other exclusives like LBP, Bloodbourne, the last of us and likely some big japanese games. 


Bloodborne could sell great, Sony could create a massive hype (something from software never could)

Uncharted is halo's competitor since GT7 will probably launch 2016/2017 judging Polyphone digital. Spoiler alert halo 5 will win easily.

 

Let us not forget Ratchet and Clank something from Quantic dream and Guerilla new Ip



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Good, that means the x1 wont win! Seriously, does like MS invite him to their Strip Party or what?

The Xbox will do fine, but Pachter is still an idiot


The 3 manufacturers will do fine. We are far away from a new Dreamcast situation with Nintendo and Microsoft. As long they do profits at the end and that we enjoy the games they are offering

WOW Playdomination confirmed... I like that.


You are much better than an "analyst" in prediction.

It was pachter... he always 100% confirm the opposite of what he said.

Gt7 won't be out till 2016 earliest. And Gt has yet to review better than forza for the last 3 Gt games. It will be Gt7 vs forza 6 Xmas 2016 on metacritic.

Metacritic won't change one game will move tons of consoles and other not.

See GT5 vs F4.

GT is the single biggest system seller in Sony plataform... it is the same than Halo for Xbox.

And about reviews you need to see most gamers didn't remember Forza 4 with it high metacritic while GT5 is considered the best sim racing of the last gen (ahead GT6 due content)... it became a cult masterpiece due quality and content.

Haha, doesn't really sound credible. People losing faith in PS4 because of DC and The Order? I can't imagine anyone caring that much about DC, there can't be a single person that bough PS4 for it. Let me remind you - it was supposed to be a free game given away on PS+ right from the start! It was obvious from the first announcement that it would be more of a filler in the waiting for GT7 than a serious new franchise on the market.

On the other hand The Order looked awesome, but let's face it, it's being made by a dev who was only doing PSP games - that is telling. This should be a Vita title really. I'd say that the level of hype and excitement they managed to get aroung their game is a surprising success already. This is a B studio trying to make a step up, the same applies to Sony Bend and their upcoming game. This is the background, not the main dish Sony has to offer. Wait for Guerilla Games, wait for Santa Monica.

Setting Uncharted alone vs Halo 5, QB and TR is as unfair as it gets. TR is only timed exclusive, so it shouldn't even be mentioned. Halo 5 is a massive game, bigger than Uncharted, but QB looks just as disappointing as The Order. Moreover, Uncharted isn't coming alone - there is Bloodborne, which looks awesome and has no competition in the stables of MS. GT7 is inevitable and it is easily on pair with Halo. There are so many other games coming, Sony has many more franchises and studios than MS and it will show soon, just like it did last gen.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

First of all the GT creator said either late 2015 or 2016. So its still possible to be released next year.

secondly, your friends do not like Japanese centric games? Does it means that they also do not like Final Fantasy, Dark Souls, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry ( except DMC one), Metal Gear Solid, PES, Lost Odyssey, Ninja Gaiden, Dynasty/samurai Warriors, and many more? (I could list more but my memory won't allow me)

if yes, then its their loss.......because these Japanese centric games are AWESOME!!

 

 

 

Um resident evil is a terrible series now. final fantasy has been in decline since 10. With 13 being utterly terrible. ninja gaiden 3 was an abomination. We are all FIFA guys and girls. we don't play pes. Dynasty warriors is repetitive garbage and mgs 4 was the worst in the series by a long way. We all lost faith in Japanese games last gen.

 

 

Lost Odyssey was actually good, it played like an old final fantasy title when they were great.

 

 

They bought into sonys promise of the good western games. I believe any 360 only gamers who went ps4 are more western centric gamers in that they prefer games like gears of war 4 player campaign etc. Something I think Sony won't match Microsoft for. And I believe by Xmas 2015 or maybe even halo mcc people will switch back due to better western games like titanfall, halo, gears of war, forza horizon 2 etc.

 

 

one of my friends got a ps4 based on what my Sony friend told him about the order and how Songs first party is way better. also driveclub was gonna blow away forza. He's a bit pissed off at the moment. He hates games like journey for example.

 

 

Doesn't mean he's not a proper gamer, he just prefers western type games.

 

 

I wonder how many 360 owners who went away will feel like that as time goes on.

 

 

He's not managed to play online properly once on driveclub yet. And he's increasingly over at mine on horizon 2. I predict he trades when halo mcc is out.

I wasn't on about sales. among Sony gamers its considered the best sim. Not neutrals or critics. My fave site for Sims inside sim racing also said forza 4 is the better overall sim game.

 

 

halo hasn't had reviews in the 70s like Gt. I'm not having a dig at Gt, but they need to fix a lot for it to be considered best sim racer. sound needs to be addressed. sense of speed needs to be addressed. it needs more tuning options like forza. it needs to get rid of old assets. and tracks need to be laser scanned as some tracks have things missing. and also they need to make Laguna secs the right damn colour. why oh why is there loads of green grass everywhere in Gt Laguna secs. view any real vid of Laguna seca, its griffin Brown/sand.

Before driveclub delay. before ps4 launched in the UK driveclub boxes were all over ps4 promotion stands. Sony pushed this game massive.

 

 

so far quantum break has got great previews. and the order poor previews.

 

 

I agree there is no first party answer to bloodbourne. But I think the witcher 3 will overshadow it both in reviews and sales. It's getting amazing praise. and visually is one of the most impressive games to come on consoles. and it releases right near bloodbourne.

 

 

I still maintain ex 360 owners are more western centric gamers, and Xbox looks to be doing a better job there.
