Well, as a ps4 and wiiu owner, I disagree. Mario kart is great, and always sells well. That doesn't mean people weren't starving for games though, it just would sell regardless. Now, watch dogs, on the other hand, sold well because ps4 fans (of which I am and own one) are starving too. I got watch dogs, and that piece of shit game is a monumental disappointment that I wish I didn't waste my money on. Now if the ps4 had such a wealth of software as you say, that steaming pile of shit wouldn't have broke a million across all consoles. That's an example of a game that sold well to starved owners simply because they were starved. Not mario kart. Mario kart is a 9/10, watch dogs is a 5/10.

I just gave you so many games which released between February and WD on PS4, while only 2 released on Wii U between Feb and MK8. Its obvious which game sold due to quality and which one did due to lack of choice for the consumers.

WD being a 5/10 is your opinion, not everybody's (though something tells me you've not even played the game and are just plain hating on it because it outsold you precious MK8). For me, who actually has played it (though I've yet to finish it) its easily a 9/10. The only other games on PS4 which are better than WD is Infamous: Second Son, Tomb Raider and Battlefield 4.


Because watch dogs sucks in my opinion means I didn't play it? Your ignorance is sky high. If I cared enough to prove it to you I could post a pic of my ps4 and watch dogs, but you're really not worth the bandwidth. Second son, tomb raider are excellent games, your precious watch dogs is not. You down play my 5/10, when I've actually finished the shitty game, then, in a true display of arrogance and ignorance, proclaim a 9/10 when you are the one who hasn't finished it? Lol, stop dude, you just look like a fool.

i honestly thought watchdogs sold so well on ps4 because ps4 owners were starved for games.

Yet PS4 had 7 games between February and WD and Wii U had only 2 games between Feb and MK8. That is the whole point. If PS4 owners are zstarved for games with 7 games releasing over 3 months and Wii U owners are not starved despite only 2 games releasing in the same time, then it would prove that Wii U owners are casual gamers, or like you are being hypocrites.

more than two games released for wii u between february and june. what youre using for 'game' is your complete own discretion. the ps4 had one worthwhile exclusive release during that time. all those other games are far below sub par.

Exclusives aren't all that matters. Wolfenstein: The New Order and MGS V: GZ are great games and from what I've heard so is FF XIV: ARR. Also the only 2 games Wii U got between Feb and June besides MK8 are also available on PS4, so your argument becomes truly worthless.

my wife read that part of your reply to me, she said that was the meanest nastiest thing that someone can say. and she doesnt like how youre treating me.

Yeah, he's really acting like a jerk to you :(

So out of the 7 games he mentions in his OP, he only says 3 of the multiplats are noteworthy of being decent, all of which he's "heard" are great games. Yes, truly a 40-minute demo and an MMORPG is what I buy my next-gen consoles for.

haha yeah. i didnt really mind it but.. my wife demanded i let him know because she didnt like that at all. lol. so she made sure i wrote it.

and yeah, we are talking next gen consoles here.. i mean, i know the wii u with dkc returns is like.. just like the wii version except with marginally better graphics, but it seems like ALL the games that have come out for ps4 could have been done on the ps3. who buys a next gen console for cross gen multiplats and remakes of games less than a year old? so i agree with you whole heartedly. ill admit when ps4 does something awesome, but seriously, up until now, they have been lagging so hard in the games department, its sad. even if you look at upcoming games, nintendo has so much more to look forward to. and it really shouldnt be that way since sony is supposed to have all these developers making games on it and have supposedly short development cycles like mark cerny wanted us to believe.

I see that UFC game is topping the UK charts. If there was ever an example of people buying a game because they are starved of games, you got it right there.

People like UFC, what's wrong with that?

I would argue that the Wii u's install base is holding mk8s sales back



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Or because it's a good game from one of the most popular franchises in gaming.
Unlike Knack, a shitty game with little effort put into its' development that managed to sell well only because it was a launch title.

Nothing like a good riot.

Why such downplaying of a game on a console that is no threat? I don't get it, like all the vehement arguments for why MK8's graphics actually suck?

Because we need to mock everything Nintendo-related!

So why didn't Pikmin sell?

So why didn't Donkey Kong sell?

So why didn't Wind Waker HD sell?

So why didn't SM3DW sell?

Nintendo Land?

Mass Effect 3?

Call of Duty?

 

OP tried to be tough and just looked like a fool in the end.


Just out of curiosity, why do you think those didnt sell? I know why COD and ME didnt, just asking about the exclusives.
