Sony just doesn't know how to make a quality exclusive multiplayer experience.

EDIT: Nevermind. You're getting grilled enough as it is.

I think you are a little delusional about who actually makes the games. "Sony" doesn't make games and neither does "Microsoft". You speak so highly of Halo and Gears of war because they were "made by Microsoft", but the physical people who made those games were Bungie and Epic - both of whom are now developing games for the PS4 as well.

So it really makes no sense to say, "Sony doesn't know how to make quality multiplayer experiences like MS does", because the actual developers of said games are studios that simply develop games for different platfroms based on exclusivity deals and  money.

Moreover, Sony doesn't need to spend money in this genre since, CoD, BF, Titanfall (from 2 onwards), Destiny etc. etc. will be on their console. If Sony thought it was a top-priority to  supplement their library with games like that then they'd focus much less on original experiences like Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Heavy Rain etc. People would muich rather have a plethora of genres and flavours available to them than buying 5 versions of the same genre every single year.

That is why gamers prefer PS over Xb, but you seem to think it's great that MS somehow trumps Sony because of this.


I agree.

Sony studios can create single player experiences far beyond the quality of third party games so it adds more value to the system than creating online focused games which still cant beat third party online games.

Having said that, the online modes on its games are still extremely good with LBP, uncharted and killzone a few examples.

This isn't a terribly good idea for a thread in its current form but we'll keep it open for now. We are keeping a close eye on it though, singling out one group or fanbase could turn ugly quickly.


To be fair he is not singling out the group or fanbase but individual people.

This is a standard crow eating thread.

We have always had these threads on Vgchartz in the past.

Lately though people make blanket statements about whole fan groups and thats when things turn ugly. I say good on OP for taking the time to call out individual people instead of just calling out an entire fanbase.

It takes a small minded person do rub these kind of prediction in peoples faces. Some may have had it coming, but I just find it petty.

I am glad for PS4's success, I did not expect it too sell 60-70% above X1, mainly because I feel the X1 is the better product at the moment. Apparently I am in the minority :).

So you make a thread to call out people that couldn't predict the future... have we hit a new low? I think we have.

Tuscaniman, are you really trying to argue with this? Don't quarell with them, you'll never get anything out of this and they'll make fun of you in a few months... at least that's an easy thing to predict.


A new low? what? Where have you been over the years?

We use to have so much crow eating threads in the past where people were called out. So many.

Nowadays people do it the cowardly way and just go and call out the entire fanbase

A lot of these haven't really had a chance to come true though yet. Some of these don't even have a time cap so there is still a chance for them to come true. All you're doing is predicting that their predictions won't come true. And we all know how your predictions end.

Don't jinx this gen for us :P


This!

As other mods have said.

Dont turn this into a shit house. While I find the OPs intentions here to be questionable to say the least, it can be fun to look back on our old predictions. Keep it clean.

you realize that you are just giving more posts to have another thread like this six months from now. right? MP experiences can pretty much be accomplished through 3rd parties. CoD, Destiny, Titanfall 2, ectect. all which will help ps4 with better res and framerate more

COD is dying a quick death so no that won't satisfy. Titanfall 2 is either: A. 2 years away with the same crappy engine and graphics or B. 3+ years away with new engine and better game so that won't cut it either. Destiny is one game and its available on both consoles. I guess I will have to reiterate my earlier comments. By the end of this gen Xbox One will have outsold PS4 in NA. I'm not talking 6 months from now.  It will start gaining on PS4 after this holiday where I fully expect it to outsell PS4 in NA.

Now if MS doesn't drop the price then all bets are off and then of course PS4 will win NA.

I'm not a fan of COD but wat :P The last COD just sold 20.6 million (and still selling). The 360 version alone sold almost as much as Halo 4. Is that dying too? ^^;

While I understand the utility in looking back at old predictions, I'm not sure a thread such as this is the right vehicle. I think it ends up vilifying and embarrassing fellow forum posters more than it ends up illuminating the past.

I get that over-the-top vainglorious predictions are due for a reckoning, and I appreciate the OP's willingness to highlight his own missed prediction, but I can't shake the discomfort I feel wandering through this thread.

Just my two cents.
