Well it's quite obvious that having exclusive games isn't affecting how well the PS4 sells. It could get only 3rd party games and still be the best selling device.


Why? Infamous vs Kinect Sports Rivals put the ps4 ahead of the XB1, that's not surprising is it?

Now if we're talking Wii U, that's another matter..

 

Dark Chaos, I am aware that MS is shafting 360 owners by removing a feature that could very well be implemented in it just to make the XB1 version "look" better in the eyes of XB1 owners. Kudos for them.

Sorry, did I miss something? All I'm saying is that the PS4 is selling really well and I don't think it needs 1st party support right now to keep it selling well. 1st party games at this point are just the icing on the cake.

So all your opinions are pointless then? It doesn't matter if Halo MCC sells millions and TLOU only sells 500k because its still milking?

All your market talk and how people didn't want Halo MCC doesn't matter. Thanks just making sure.

All opinions are pointless.  

I shouldve said argument. He basically relinquished his argument the minute sales were brought up.

Just wait till 2015. 2015 will be a good year for all of us.

It seems there is alot of bad attitude in this thread, when did people become so hostile? This is my take on it all:

- MCC was probably the single handedly most wished for announcement by fans from MS.
- alot of PlayStation fans wanted TLOU to be a launch title for PS4, therefore this remake is anticipated.
- MS AND Sony therefore decided to both MILK their franchises and at the same time do something for the FANS.
- This is not bad, since fans of both games get something.
- Sony has the weaker lineup this fall, in my view, but next holiday will be much closer with high profile releases from hem both.
- And can we drop this "not a proper release since it was on 7th gen" or "not exclusive since it exist on PC"? It's so silly.

To each their own I guess. But try to think of it from the market's perspective.

Halo MCC is an enormously attractive offering for NA. Forza H2 is the sequel to a critically acclaimed game, and Sunset Overdrive is the most exciting new first party IP launching this year - doesn't mean it will deliver, but it has that unique potential.


Littlebigplanet 2 metacritic - 91

Forza Horizon 2 metacritic - 85

Halo - remaster just like TLOU

SO - most exciting? that's highly debatable.

Seems you're thinking of it from your perspective, not the market's.

Firstly, I have nothing at all against LBP!

Secondly, the bolded is ridiculous. Both feature for feature, and in terms of likely market reaction.


It isn't at all rediculous.  TLOU:R is a full 100% upgrade with graphics that will rival the best of the best.  It also comes with in-game commentary and new tweaks to the AI and gameplay.

I don't know why we're getting into arguments over who milks whom more. All three do it, lol!
Do some do it more than others? Yes, but it's all the same.

Or maybe its because adding it would not be possible on a 9 year old piece of hardware and have a steady 30fps?

But ofcourse greedy MS.

Forza Horizon 1 didnt have weather affecting the driving and this won't either for the 360 version.

 

Is it shafting when BF4 was 60fps on next gen and 30fps on last gen too?

It does seem pretty silly. It's like online forum users just like to invent anything in order to make an agruement. lol

ITs just...not even a debate lol.

You dont have to like Halo, personally I probably enjoyed TLOU more than any individual Halo game. But in terms of content MCC just trumps TLOU so very, very easily.

Best post in the thread so far.

 

Can't believe ppl say Halo MCC wasn't wanted. Everywhere I visited wanted Halo 2 Anniversary and now to get Halo 2 Anni and all the other games combined was HUGE!!
