Forums - Gaming Discussion - The PS4 may be stealing players from Microsoft and Nintendo

TheWPCTraveler on 26 August 2014

Don't a lot of Nintendo gamers end up getting another platform anyway? After all, I don't think people can subsist on the Wii U alone.

The XBOX gamers are the ones I understand, though. Halo will drag them back in headfirst soon enough.

stealing sounds like a fanboy term for a more appealing console that is marketed better.

yeah but did PS2 have a great number of those titles in its first year on the market?  Also I don't really agree with the general sentiment I mean what games were on PS2 that weren't on PS3 franchise wise?  Some of those old PS2 exclusives may be multiplat now (GTA, DMC, Final Fantasy, KH) but they're still on PS4 and with its other exclusives and services and price right from the getgo instead of being released a year later and taking a couple years to get on even footing this time it's pretty clear that Playstation dominates if they don't go shooting themselves in the foot.

I don't think those games nowadays have the same appeal as they did in the PS2 days, they are made more westernized and further, back in the PS2 days they were leaders of game genres. Nowadays they are standalone. That doesn't constitute a library for a genre.

eh agree to disagree I was kept far more busy by PS3 than PS2 but then again I wasn't getting a constant stream of free games with PS2 in between my anticipated releases and indies weren't around to fill any gaps like PS4.

This has been evident the entire gen. But I don't think 1200 people is a statistically significant survey. But Given that the ps4 has consistently outsold the ps4 in the US every month, it's no surprise.

2.83% margin of error assuming reliable sampling methods (@10mil total population size). It's actually within acceptable levels.

so looking at 0.012% of the install base defines what they all did in the past.... nice logic there

I'm betting an online survey of 1200 out of 10 million is going to be using reliable testing methods.

Don't even bother.... There are always people who belittle statistics because it doesn't fit their perception of reality...

Sarcasm?

Didn't know this was a simple online poll (article didn't mention the methodology). Where was this indicated?
