How about "Exclusively not on PS4"? Theres so many ways to say that PS4 doesn't have it, I am glad you are participating in ways to convey this sentiment.

No smart person who knows the tendencies of today's gamers would've made such a claim. Nothing beats an online shooter in this day and age. Especially when said shooter is exclusive to XBOX.

To clarify, it is a multiplat not on PS4.

Ya but those diehard PS nuts will whip out google dictionaries and say exclusive = only available on one thing and bs like that.

"Multiplat not on PS4" stings more IMO because its available on many platforms but their favourite console and has the effects of an exclusive regardless. Its like there was a party and only they weren't invited ;P


Depends on how the word is used, in gaming its generally used on single console basis (has been used that way for a long time actually, so people are pretty much used to the'exclusive' word being used that way). Oh, its on Origin for PC users, not XBL for PC

I'm not surprised, but a lot of people were arguing Infamous SS would crush Titanfall. You'd think it would, being one of the only full retail releases on PS4, a console with a higher install base. But I think the fans were ignoring the fact that being a glowing purple superhero was more niche than Titanfall. Not knocking Infamous, and the game blew away the prior installments in the series. But that's just the thing: the series before had pretty small launch numbers. It's a cool and loved series, just not a huge mainstream one.

Anyway, I know people think I'm against Sony. I am not. I don't want this to seem like I'm bashing them. I have a lot of respect for them and they make a ton of great stuff, PS4 included.


kinda surprised an xbox fan is using the argument of sales being concentrated on fewer games.

No xbox fans could accept that when I said that about 360... but put it into context of a PS4 and all of a sudden it stats making sense. lol what a joke.

Lets not forget titanfall was hyped up as the "COD killer" and "game of the generation" so infamous did really well.

How about Ouya is more likely[than PS4] of getting it[Titanfall]?

Well it is April Fools' Day...

Man, this console war stuff is silly. I have a Sony 3D camera on my desk right now and it rocks. I really don't hate Sony. 

You have a Sony 3D camera?

Ok, I have no doubt this is an April Fools' thread. You just gave yourself away with that one.

PS4 lost 2013 and Q1 2014 in AAA games. No biggie. The gen is a marathon, not a sprint ;). Lets see what Q2 brings to the table.

But PS4 is winning in sales, so thats good right?

No, I really do. It's called a 'Bloggie' - not the fanciest, but I got it used for $90. It has an autosteroscopic screen like the 3DS, but it can output 3D via HDMI and save 3D videos.

I love that people are using the "inFamous did really well" excuse now that it was outsold. I thought the reason that Titanfall X1 woulndn't sell as much was because its also on PC and Xbox 360. While true that sales would have drastically grown if it wasn't on those platforms it is on them. While inFamous is a TRUE exclusive that couldn't outsell a multiplat on ONE platform.

Titanfall was given away for free and the system had a price cut and it didn't outsell Infamous by much. If infamous was bundled free with a ps4 this thread doesn;'t exist. Not bad considering how hyped Titanfall was.
