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.

Well you cared enough to reply... so thanks ;)

I have 6 work colleagues. All were Xbox fans. They had both consoles. 1 is getting both day 1, 1 is getting a XBO day 1, guess which console the other four are getting day 1... that's right the PS4. These were not what you would call hardcore gamers, they were core... they buy some games and might end up with both consoles.

Most people are not loyalty bound, they will go where they feel they will get the best experiences. For some its 1st party games, others its performance, others its costs, others it's features, some is because of bad PR messaging. No one said that by default the 360 userbase will prefer PS4... he is saying that there are some good reasons to prefer the PS4. I don't think anyone in their right mind that a console that is considered more powerful and is $100 cheaper cannot be considered a strong argument for some people.

Some people will never like the PS4 or XbO because they are bound by blind loyalty to a product. But you would be surprised that many go where the best games are, for the best cost for the best power, and knowing what I do about the past 1st party games on the PS3, imho that is the PS4.. but Sony still need to prove that is going to be the case for PS4 or I will go to whoever is offering me those experiences (and the userbase will make that decision also).

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.

Lucky I have found this post since you didn't quote me :)

"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.

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. 

Pricing but also the social stigma. 360 bros are self conscious lol.

Ryse will get a Zero! (From a bunch of people that have never played it.)

I think Ryse will be polarizing, some love some hate. I high it will settle in the high 7's or 8's. It depends heavily on how much people get into the story.

Plus, the biggest question. What will Zoo Tycoon do!?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Lackluster? What was so bad besides Knack?

As time passes, nothing changes with you, Monty. We always agree! ;)

But, you can't blame overly energized internet goers that consider anything under an 8 "lackluster". The gaming journalist world are partly to blame. KNACK, yes, bad! Killzone, average to above average. All esle looks about what I expect out of a console launch.

To answer this exaggerated topic: Ryse will be butchered, Dead Rising may get in the 70s, and Forza will score just a tad lower than previous iterations.


To me, lackluster is in the 7-8 range. Not great, not bad, but decent to good quality. 

I'm not saying it's a bad lineup, on the contrary. The Ps4 launch lineup is LEAGUES better than the Ps3's lineup on 3rd party software alone. I do think some games suffered from the rushed launch window, they could have used a bit more time in development.

The problem with reviews for games is, they get better fast, so game reveiews get so inflated that average is an 80 or 90 (close to what we are currently at). I remember at one point games scores got so inflated that is was bad if games got below like an 8.5. I think they are "resseting" it at the beginning of a gen, because it's a good time to do it. Based on what they've been saying, I would be incredibly confused if ryse got higher scores than KZ.
