Im sure i'm not alone in this, but up until now, I feel PS4 has been riding the wave in that it "isn't Xbox". Now that reviews are setting in, I hope people can see PS4 as it is, not as a comparison model.

what?

Listen, don't want to make a big thing, but many people like PS4 not only for what it offers, but because it is socially unacceptable to praise Xbox 1 at the moment.

So instead of the vibe where PS4 is great "because Xbox 1 fails" its now going to be "PS4 is ______ based on its launch lineup reception".

Not complicated, and I am not taking a dig at PS4. You can put away the claws ;)

Let's me it clear why the PS4 is popular:

It's cheaper and yet more powerful, it's from sony, so it will get the best exclusives games. And, this time multiplat games are just as good. 

I could care less about xbox fail stuff, Sony focused on their own misakes from last Gen and made a very good console. One thing I never worry about Sony : games.

Your opinion isn't the one brush stroke that encompasses the thoughts of everyone who likes PS4.Your post.......good god. I have been away from this place so long I forgot what it is like to read pure unadulterated bias.

Its cheaper....k. Thats nice. The power difference is at its core so miniscule that you have to be delusional to believe it is anything significant for the masses to see (splz click on my link in sig). "It's Sony".....I am not even going to get into that. Best exclusives? That is entirely subjective.

Don't see why you have trouble thinking that many 360 gamers are switching to PS4 because they didn't like Xbox 1's mistakes? To many, PS4 is appealing by default, deal with it. Your last line makes me facepalm......not-so-thinly-veiled zealotry. Cmon.

Why are you criticising him for his reason why he prefers the PS4. His reasons are perfectly reasonable. You agree that its more powerful, but its miniscule... to use your condescending phrase... k. Thats nice. But its more powerful and cheaper. So if that's not up for debate (as you agree), why is it a problem that some of his reasoning.

He feel's they have the best exclusives. Yes that is subjective, but *he* feels that's what he likes. Some people love Halo or Killzone, some people don't... not really an issue. Not really a reason for you to go on a childish ... you are wrong. 

I think you should consider going away for a while longer if you are just going to come here and moan like a little child.

I am not criticizing his reasons more then addressing that he thinks my reasoning is non-existant. That it is impossible that PS4 is preferred by default by 360 centric gamers due to X1 pre-launch errors. Your last line is just wrong, and I could care less what you think.

We don't care about 360 gamers jumping ship, that's their issues. What we care about is Sony going away from the PS3 mistakes and giving us an very powerful machine. It's a huge diffence between $599 to $ 399. I'm not worried about the xbox, it will sell fine, it will have great games, kinect is terrific.

My preditcions

Forza : 85-90 ( plays like any itehr forza cars with improved graphics, physics and the new drivatar)
KI : 85-90 ( since it plays and feels like the original KI)
DR : 75-80 ( Fun game but i have a feeling the technical issues will bring the score down. The graphics are next gen as you canget those graphics with no loading times with that amount of zombies on current gen).

Ryse : 75 -85 ( I have a feelign teh reviewers will bash the comabt realizing that it was aimed at replicating the way the romans fought in those times . They ill be expecting GOW style fighting for them despite it being impossible due to teh stuff tehy wear and carry).

"We"? Tell me you have a centralized caste system now that seperates Sony diehards from Xbox ship-jumpers :P.

Ok, your reasoning is correct, as I am full aware of how well Sony played their cards. But people buying PS4 simply because they don't like the X1 direction is a PS4 customer all the same. They are part of your family now, learn to co-exist (lol). Just saying they are out there too, along with people who wanted PS4 from the start.

Guess we can leave it at that on a neutral note.

DR3 will probably land between a 55-65 because of technical issues but still an alright game.
Ryse a 60-70 for good looking but so far looking pretty shallow in terms of gameplay.
KI 60-70 for lacking content and my doubt of Double Helix Games
Forza 5 80 - 85 its not breaking any boundaries but still a great game

Out of all of these I hope I am wrong about Ryse. I'm a sucker for these type of games and it looks like it has the potential to be a great series. But its equally possible to have another DMC2 on our hands.



Sales, considering your string of recent posts I think you should either take the advice of your own signature or remove it so you don't look like a douche.

To be fair, those early mistakes has forced MS to release a much better console with a better line up than the PS4. Getting 3rd party exclusives also help. I don't see why someone who enjoys the 360 needs to switch so badly.
