It's simply amazing how the PS4 has sold so much with one OK exclusive and a Bad exclusive. Guess they just wanted to play slightly better multi platforms.

People only buy consoles for what's currently available?

No, but they should.

You guessed wrong.

There are many reasons to owning a console right away. First you have games from a new generation, which is something that doesn't happen that often, then you get prettier/better/bigger games. And don't forget consoles are investments in your gaming future. New games are released monthly, so not everyone has to wait.

I completely understand what you mean and yo uare right, but the only new and exclusive games the PS4 is getting soon iare Infamous Second Son and Drive Club. Personally, 2 exclusive games just aren't worth raking in $400 for. I'm planning on getting one later on when more games catch my attention. Everyone is diffrent and can be willing to pay $400 plus two good games earlier on, so I can understand your point.

This.......is possibly the silliest thing i have ever read. You expect people to not take into account that a console lasts years and a huge amount of games will be released for them in the future? People buy conssoles and then throw them in the trash after a few weeks?

Yet you wouldn't commit to that bet ;) you're going to be disappointed very soon.

I can´t bet to something that my rival can win in a matter of weeks, but for me to win would have to wait years.
