And I said most decent games on PS3/4 don't have local multiplayer, they mostly rely on online multiplayer or singleplayer. Which is true. So yes, it matter if the game is of good quality and not just some mediocre game. I hope you're not paying $570 to play some mediocre games. 

I think it's safe to say that most people that are buying a PS4 this early can be considered Sony fans. Wii is a different story. N64 and GC sold way less than the Wii, so yes the Wii sold to more than just fans because of the fad of motion control and Wii Sports. PS1 and PS2 had big userbases(so did PS3, eventually).

So your opinion is fact now? Got it. Because I played Knack and Rayman with my wife since critics opinion of knack was mediocre and rayman wasnt exclusive than I shouldnt have enjoyed them with my wife. Do you realize how asinine your comment was yet?


But why did you spend so much money on a new console just to play Knack and Rayman Legends(which is available on basically every console)? Wasn't it better to wait for better games and perhaps a pricedrop(not very likely seeing as how good it's selling). That's something I don't understand, hence my posts here. 

My opinion isn't fact, but if I didn't think my opinion was true then it wouldn't be my opinion now would it? 

I'm not just saying this because I'm a Nintendo fan because I didn't think the Wii U was worth the purchase when it was €350 with the only exclusive a 2D Mario game. I waited till the Wind Waker HD bundle was €280(a game I never played) before buying the Wii U. This saved me more than €170(because the launch games I bought were a lot cheaper as well now).

For the same reason the Titanfall  game and bundle are both in the top 10.

Apparently a Legend of Zelda OoT 3DS game that you cannot buy on the website is the most popular item on the website.

I saw the edit. PS+ subscriptions aren't that many as they only started to rise after the PS4 launch.

The number 2 Titanfall means it's not selling hardware as much as people thought it'll do. That's what I'm thinking even at that price, Xbox one isn't selling and that Titanfall is only selling to people who already owned an Xbox One.

Popularity=/=Best-Selling though.

It doesn't matter that the bundle includes a year of PS+, it should still be high on the top seller list if the list is accurate because it's something many PS3 users want and every PS4 user needs to play online.

3DS OoT being the most popular item on the website proves their ranking system is either extremely flawed or extremely irrelevant, I will bow out of the thread and allow you to decide. Toodles.

There's more stuff in the box. PS+, extra controller as well as a game. Add that to the fact that people perceive the PS4 to be better value anyway and there you have it.


...but that PS4 bundle doesn't have Titanfall though.

  • PlayStation 4 Console
  • inFAMOUS Second Son Regular Edition
  • 1 Year PlayStation Plus Subscription
  • A 2nd DualShock 4 Controller

...and the $499 Xbox One Titanfall bundle has more content too:

  • Xbox One Console
  • Kinect Sensor for Xbox One
  • Wireless Controller
  • Chat Headset
  • Xbox One Titanfall Game Download
  • 1-Month Xbox Live Gold Membership
  • HDMI Cable
  • Power Supply

 

umm you cant be serious?

PS4 doesnt need a power supply.

PS4 comes with an HDMI cable

PS4 comes with a headset, but the XB1 headest is better though.

PS4's offer offers one year of PS+ compares to one month for Xbox live.

PS4 comes with the ability to have me as a friend, Xbox One does not offer that. 


He's joking.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Please educate yourself. The only two ps4 games i bought thus far are co-op and my wife and i had a blast playing them already. Not only that but as the sales suggest its far from Sony fans buying the ps4 up. 


Why would the sales suggest that? There are many Sony fans out there, PS2 is the best sold console of all time(rightfully so I might add). I'll be surprised if the PS4 could outsell that. 

And tell me, are your two games any good(are they universally acclaimed)? And are they exclusive to the PS4? 

Wow, you complain about games like FIFA being bad. A game which is critically acclaimed and commercially successful. and then make a comment like this? Wow.

Critically acclaimed by reviewers. If you look at the user score on Metacritic it tells a different story. Makes me think the reviews got bought off. FIFA isn't bad if you look at just that game, but it is bad when you look at all the titles that came before it. Not enough changes. Not worth a yearly release. They should just use patches to update the rosters. But EA just wants your money and relies on blind football fans.

I didnt buy it for those games. I bought it for infamous, uncharted, GoW ect ect. Doesnt change the fact that i needed a second controller already (and most likely in the future). I pretty much knew I would i would buy more than enough games in the future to justify the purchase and i knew the first game on my must buy list was Infamous which launched earky this year.

Well, since a pricecut is out of the question with the PS4, I can somewhat understand your purchase. If it was me, I'd have still waited though. On the plus side, Infamous looks really good. Hope you like it. :) 

As for GoW, I realy hope they do a spin-off with a different character from the franchise(perhaps even a brand new one) instead of focusing on Kratos again. That guy is as likeable as chewing gum on my shoe.(I like GoW by the way, I just think Kratos is way too one sided in personality).

Why buy PS+ on gamestop when you can just renew with your credit card/debit card/your PSN wallet?

that's just your opinion man. there is no way to verify if the users rating the game are not just butthurt pes fanboys or folks who don't even play football games (just like you, based on your comments). But people seem to love it and buy it every year because they enjoy it. Look at ps4 software sales in EU weekly.

Yes, a lot of European gamers are blind football fans. They'd buy their yearly FIFA regardless of what EA does with it. I'm European, but instead of a blind football fan, I'm a blind cycling fan. But I don't buy Cycling Manager because that game is crappy anyway. :p 

Yes, it's my opinion, that's why I started that sentence with "Makes me think".
