Metacritic is an indepandant site, but it is on the Internet so I can see why it might be biase in favor of Sony



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I would say its multiple things. First I would say its games. There are people expecting another God of War, Gran Turismo, and new franchises like Bloodborne and the unveil of Uncharted 4 help push continue PS4's momentum. It was genius of them to really be aggressive by courting indie developers. It always feels like something is coming out on the PS4.

Microsoft's PR debacle effected people's decision. I remember awhile back after months being out, a casual gamer asked me if you have to always be online still to play video games on the XB1.

Sony is a stronger gaming brand. The PS3 catching up in sales of the 360 pretty much proves that. I think it was going to good regardless. They have a good reputation and ended or ending strong with the PS3 with The Last of Us, Puppeteer, and Beyond Two Souls.

Sony started out cheaper and had a clear message and stuck to it.


I think it is a bit of everything. I think Sony has done a great job and they will hold the lead the whole cycle but I would expect Microsoft to at least have some bursts of momentum from various games. I hope if anything this will keep Microsoft from relying so heavily on Halo, Gears, and Forza. They need to stir the pot with new titles that could sale the XB1 to people outside their typical fans. I don't want this to be a completely one-sided win.

That is my take on the subject :)

It will have the best library, that's a reason of why it's selling good.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

The oposite should happen if that was the case, pretty much all games last gen that had more reviews on the 360 had a lower metascore, because of the troll sites trying to get views by giving a low score

I'm just saying that those multiplats more or less should be counted as the same. Anywho PS4 will easily end up with the best library anyways, especially given the Japanese support.

The ps4 has the library I'm most interested in.

here we go. Sony is selling the best because they are the MOST trusted. Its that simple. It doesnt matter what people feel numbers speak for themselves

No.
So far, its lineup is staggeringly unappealing. I can't think of a single game that makes me want to buy the system.

Also not the games that will arrive in the next 6 months? im not gonna name them ok but if u really not gonna buy the PS4 cause of games like Bloodborne or Uncharted 4 or The order with all the 3rd party games then can i ask what on earth will make u?!!!



Add me if u want :)

How is that possible?  It's an aggregate number based on all reviews.

Why did you even buy one?

As for "rehash", (which by this point has degenerated into a synonym for "sequel on a system I don't like") I could level that at PS4 as well; Killzone, Infamous, Last of Us...

 Do you really want me to explain that?... Okay.

So back in 2012, I was in front of the TV watching Nintendo's E3 12 presentation when they first unveiled the name of their new gen hardware and details. They spit up all this gamer that their new console would be a true next gen system with games from every genre combined with a state of the art new way to play and superior online services that, all of those combined, would put any 7th gen console to shame. In my mind, Nintendo was basically talling me that they were going back to the days of the SNES and N64 when Nintendo actually innovated and put many awesome games on their console that appealed to all. They weren't trying to pull another Wii. They wanted to make an actual games console, and not something that's only fun when you're drunk at a family party. So I get back from MCRT a couple months after Wii-U's release and decide to buy based off hearing such good things coming to the system. Almost as soon I do, that's when the console's whole image goes completely to crap. The online service is garbage. There's literally no games on it besides ANOTHER NSMB, a very poorly done zombie title, a lego game, and a list of third party titles that don't even run as well as 8 year old hardware, plus the controller, the console's biggest selling point, turns out to feel clunky and feels cheap. Nintendo starts marketing to children again, all the "this is a hardcore console!" goes out the window, and the only games that seem to even remotely matter are more cartoony low end titles that I have zero interest in. 

To put it bluntly, I fell for the lie, and now I refuse to support the console anymore than I have already. At least until something that genuinely interests me releases on it. Sadly, from what I've seen of Zelda U, that may not happen for a loooong time. 

While I agree that what is available on PS4 thus isn't the greatest thing ever, the console at least gets genuine third party/ indie support, and the list of upcoming titles is only looking better and better as the months go on. With Wii U, I feel like the console will literally be done as soon as Zelda U releases, with almost nothing of worth between now and then.

Mind you, this is all just my personal opinion, and I should hope noone is personally bothered by it.

But why keep it? Why not sell it if you're not using it?

 Well, I was holding onto it for Zelda U and Smash, but I'm not even sure about those anymore. I will probably get them sometime down the road, but Wii-U will never be my primary, probably not even secondary, console.

 Funny, Sony fans made that same claim about MS a lot last gen, and they were told that was total BS. What changed, hmm? I love how people keep trying to tell myself and others that PS4 has no games. I own 12 games (7 physical), of which 8 are exclusives, and I'm have titles like DriveClub, LBP3, The Order, BloodBorne, Uncharted 4, Persona 5, God Eater 2, and Alienation to look foward to next year. When people will finally come up with a valid argument against the PS4 that isn't just BS spewing out of their asses, I do not know...
