People must really want to play Killzone.....


No need for this stealth troll attempt. We all know no other games are ever being made for PS4 right? 3 million must have wanted to play fighter within.

Or DR, F5, or KI? lol why do Sony fans continue to mention the lowest ones, when it is fact that X1 had better reviewed/more variety in exclusives in 2013?

Err you do realize that the PS4 is a future investment right? People are buying to play Infamous Second Son, Uncharted 4, GT7, LBP 3, and so on. Did people just buy the XBO because they HAD to play Ryse? 

Why mention a bad metacritic score game??? Why not mention Killer Instinct, Forza 5, and Dead Rising 3, 3 big games that clearly out-variety PS4's one worthwhile exclusive FPS? X1 has great 2014 upcoming games as well.

Just saying people are buying it for the price and the name, not for what is actually available. Which is nice for Sony and allows for bragging rights from fans.

Ok, then why not mention Resogun using that logic? It's the highest rated exclusive on the PS4 and XBO. My point was that most people buy these consoles as a future investment, to get games that are coming later. Most people bought the XBO to play Titanfall or Halo. They didn't pay 500 bucks for Dead Rising 3 or Not Turismo 5. 

I wouldn't have bought the PS4 or XBO if I could only play their launch lineups. I bought so many more exclusives for the PS3 than 360 so that's why I felt comfortable getting a PS4. I know the great exclusives will come, Sony has some of the best developers in the world. It all begins in March with Infamous Second Son. And XBO owners get to enjoy Titanfall, so everybody wins! 

Not turismo 5, I lol'd.

Wrong. Resogun and Flower were rated higher than anything on the XBO. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Believe me, I like to count digital titles, but they were always downplayed by PS fans last gen because they werent retail and AAA. On the other hand, digital titles are rarely system sellers.

BTW, an investment tends to appreciate in value, not depreciate. It isn't a bad thing to say something is currently selling on brand name/price alone. PS4 is viewed as trendy and more affordable. Gamers rarely buy a console for games that don't exist yet. Early adopters are just that, they adopt for the sake of adopting.

Because digital games (one of them is on PS3 for years) are what sell systems. Sorry though, should have specified retail.

I am really betting on Infamous bumdle, to get my ps4 :(



*Sighs*

That thread about PS4 not selling well based on the Knack bundle selling slower than other bundles.

Now I understand the very definition of desperation.

Moving on.....

Xbox One can win January, February AND March NPD for all I (or Sony) care.

Once Sony gets the Japan launch of the PS4 out of the way. Majority of PS4 stock will be sent to the States.

There won't be no looking back then.

My advice to Xbox fans is to enjoy this "little" period of respite. It won't last long.

This is rich..You are the one that came into this thread and threw out 1 game that had nothign to do with anything. Ps4 has a better overal meta average for 2013 then MS, but thats irrelevant anyway. Ps4 also had way mroe variety...digital games count.

Pure nonsense, these people would NOT be early adopting if no more games were coming, everyone knows the ps4 like 3 2 and 1 will have a slew of games coming. Sony has a long history of brand they built and recognition. Early adopters are also hardcore gamers they are well aware of the games that are coming.
