Those games don't count, so it haz no gaemz. 101 22.25%
 
Total:453

I like how Xbox fanboys were all about the indies last gen and those games counted!! Now the PS4 is absolutely killing the XB1 on this Indie front they are all of a sudden saying Indies don't count... Games are games my friends and they absolutely count. Having more options to play while AAA games come out sure beats what's going on with the X1 and that wasteland right now.

So long as everyone remains civil, and they're capable of it, I see nothing wrong with this piece, especially since it is fact. The retro talk is pure opinion, though.

nonsense, retro is an endless sea of games, too many to play in a lifetime! xD

And people were saying the PS4 only sold on hype...


It is over hyped and so is X1...

Quantity is not a statement of quality...

Qunatity is also not a statement about new and original or innovative content...

If you go through the lists and kill all games that have shipped on other platforms...  Both the PS4 and the X1 look very thin.  I cannot believe how gamers this generation are falling for the Recycling Generation.

I have gamed in all 8 generations.  To date, this is the most disappointing generation so far outside of maybe the third generation.  I can't believe how well all three consoles are selling.  Wii U, X1, and PS4 deserve to be at one third the levels they are at today...  Gaming would've died long ago had other genreations followed the path of this one...

X1 certainly was overhyped, but not so much for the PS4. Remember, people purchase consoles of their choice as a long term investment. You never see anyone purchase a system for just one game. This is especially true after SCEJA's pre-TGS conference. The PS4's already-very-good 2015 lineup became even better and Sony has another pre-TGS conference on the 17th. Shinobi confirmed that there will be new announcements from both 1st and 3rd parties.

Early adoption is always a gamble. However, many consumers had a lot of confidence in the PS4 and their gamble is paying off, in my opinion.

PS4 is over-hyped as well.  For every announcement at E3 MS had an equal announcement.  Same at Gamescom, and MS has already announced a lot of Japanese content so at TGS Sony is just catching up.  Name an announcement and I will counter every one with an equal X1 announcement.  It is just that people are only listening blindly to Sony right now.

As for buying a console for the long term that is a pretty dumb consumer decision.  That is like buying a car frame with the promise of the engine and tires to coming later.  You have no idea what size the engine will be or what tires will be on it...  In games, you have no idea what quality the games will have over the next few years.  And just because Sony has a strong first party track record, people should not just automatically buy their stuff.  Track records can change, and we are already seeing some shift in the discussion on The Order from "greatest game ever" to "its looking pretty average"...

Console sales peak in years 3-6 not year one...  This is because by year 3 you start to see the critical mass of games released on each console that drives their sales.  That is why people are saying PS4 is over-hyped.  The amount of new, unique, and quality content available on PS4 is brutal.  X1 is slightly less brutal, and Wii U has saw third parties pretty much abandon them. ALL THE CONSOLES ARE OVER-HYPED RIGHT NOW.

Yeah and Xbox 360 had probably some thousand more games as PS3 and many still said that Xbox 360 has no games. You can count every single game but yeah...

If quantity would be a great measurement I would play only on my phone. 

Also funny that I have twice as many games on Steam as PS4 has as whole library. Shows that the amount of games doesn't say much.

MS didn't really announce much Japanese content. They only announced a few Japanese titles before E3 and that was all about it. Sony actually had some Japanese content announced before their pre-TGS conference. A lot of the stuff they announced during their conference were already planned out long before. It was just not a smart decision to announce them during Gamescom or PAX because those games mainly target the eastern audience, not the western audience.

Your car analogy doesn't make sense at all. A car frame is more comparible to the PS4 case. The car engine is like the PS4's CPU and GPU. The tires are like the PS4's RAM. Actually, there really is no need for an analogy at all hence why yours was so terrible. It's not as complicated as you think. The majority of consumers bought the PS4 because they saw the potential of the system. They know how much more powerful the PS4 is. They know how good of a value PS+ is. They know that Sony will deliver on games based on their track record. The Order: 1886 looking "mediocre" to some people isn't stopping them from highly anticipating other games like Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne.

And yes, console sales peak later, not at the beginning. However, Playstation platforms have always had a slow start, even the PS2. However, the PS2 wasn't overhyped at the beginning as it sold the most in video games history. Heck, all game systems don't peak until a few years later, but if you want to call the PS4 overhyped, you have to called all the other systems overhyped, too. However, at that point, it becomes incredibly silly.

TL;DR: PS4 is not overhyped. If it is, by your definition, every single system in video game history was overhyped.

I think XB fans are just laughing at sony fans for how they flip flop on how to count games all the time...  Remember, it was Sony fans that made the "digital games don't count" rule last gen, not Xbox fans...

To me, games should not count if they are not new...  Meaning they are not on any other platform.  That pretty much dwindles both list down to nothing.

And PS4 is not killing MS on the Indie front...  MS is getting almost all the same indie games plus some of their own as well.  Remember, PS fans like to say timed exclusivity doesn't count...  Warframe came out yesterday on X1... Therefore it was only a timed exclusive (Actuallytimed console exclusive)...  Same with Outlast...
