Sony is broke, so of course they're gonna have a crappy console generation. They're still losing money year over year so they can't really do much R&D. Gamers basically put their faith in a dead horse. Say what you want about what Sony wants to do, but they have the financial power to do almost none of it. This generation expect to see a lot of bargain bin practices from Sony.


...third parties alone will ensure that the ps4 has a better gen than the wii u for example 

...this is why we can speak of arkham knight, destiny, the witcher 3, metal gear, the division, Kingdom Hearts, final Fantasy etc etc etc releasing in the future for ps4 and the one 

...Or do those games not count?

 

Whereas first party support between all 3 is about the same, by that I mean roughly the same number of titles have been announced for all 3 so to me your post doesn't make much sense

 

Assessment of the actually facts in question would undoubtedly lead to the wii u being the dead horse I'd think

My post is saying that if gamers supported either of the other two consoles, they would have a better generation because either one of them could reciprocate that investment a lot better than Sony can.  All Sony is doing is eating the money and hoping they don't go bankrupt.  

 

 

Except when Microsoft was on top last generation, they spent three years or more years pretty much just churning out Kinect 1 titles, and the same four guaranteed-seller franchises. Their non-Kinect exclusive lineup outside of a few external titles brought from PC, and games from the four franchises Halo, gears, fable and Forza, kind of suggest that Microsoft was pretty much just eating the money they could get. That or dumping it desperately into Kinect games. =P

OMG are you saying what you were originally saying was not sarcasm... gah, I missed that then.

For a crappy console that cant do much R&D, isnt it ironic that out of the three companies they made the best hardware, best formfactor and best hardware features.. laughable really.

But none of your statements make sense. Sony is broke and is having the BEST console generation so far so that is already out the window. They have the best console(power and build wise anyway).  Also Sony is not just eating money and hoping they don't go bankrupt either lol. I am not sure if youa re just saying stuff becuase you don't like Sony or if you are being sarcastc. Either way what youa re saying is just a little out there don't you think?

Such a bitter post.

Sony told EA to buzz off, and that their games have no value? :s What happened there, I haven't really been following gaming news too much lately...

where is the evidence of this?

"either one of them could reciprocate that investment a lot better than Sony can"

 

considering that microsoft has a weaker console at the same price and nintendo hasn't really supported the wii u any better than sony or microsoft have supported their consoles in the same timespan ( which feeds into a bigger problem of overall game support since they have failed at garnering third party support )

You mean they made the console that most heavily emphasizes graphics...  They had to do that after they made the PS3...  I don't even consider that a good thing.  Look how many developers went bankrupt over the last generation.  We should stop the graphics push for awhile.  It's killing every other aspect of gaming, you know the important parts (fun, creativity, lots of genres).  That's why indies and smart phone games are booming so much right now.

I'd call it an awful generation.  They are losing third party games left and right (Titanfall for starters), their developers are rehashing old games rather than making new games (The Last Of Us).  Their list of games is painfully small considering they are winning the generation.  Their also slow on the console updates, there was another thread that showed PS4 is woefully behind in adding support for various features.
