mornelithe said: You guys do realize that Sony was giving away AAA titles on PS+ on PS3...like, 4 years into the consoles life right? Hard to give away AAA titles, when the majority are 3rd party, and less than a year old. Some seriously entitled gamer's out there. |
Honestly it feels like you are just defending a bad thing. I feel like the Vita got/gets way better Ps plus games than what PS4 did. symbolic wise it is strange because the PS4 is doing amazing and Sony is like 'Wow we have 5-8 million or more extra PS plus subscribers thanks to PS4...Here is an free Indie game'...and 'wow almost nobody bought a Vita in the US and EU and we got only 100 extra Ps plus subscribers here are some amazing free ps plus games'... .

I don't own a PS4, why would I defend it? Just saying, PS+ free games collection launched in 2010, which is 4 years after the PS3's launch, which is 4 years worth of games they can pick and choose from. PS4 has been out for almost a year now, I personally think it's unfair and certainly a sense of entitlement to expect AAA titles every month. You're most certainly free to disagree with me, it's absolutely your right (I personally feel that anyone with that expectation should've thought about it a bit more, and probably avoided putting money down on such a silly notion, but that's me). Giving away bockbusters for free so early in the lifecycle, especially when the bulk of profit comes from software, peripheral and DLC purchases, is unsustainable.
PS Vita's 2+ years old, so it has a larger library (187 games to 62), also, it's struggling like hell to sell, so naturally you'd want to provide people with some incentive to purchase it. Makes sense to me, might sound like I'm defending the PS4, but, I'm simply applying logic. If you give away every major title from the beginning of a consoles life, you won't be selling major titles.
To put this in perspective, they've given away 147 titles on the PS3 (PAL), 61 on the Vita (1 less than the amt of games on the PS4...that've soldat least 10K on vgchartz) and 19 on the PS4 (That's 30% of their games library, btw). 30%...w/in the first 10 months (almost 11) from the systems launch.
You don't have to like it. But, you also don't have to buy into it. So, it's entirely up to you, but expecting blockbuster giveaways so early, is just not going to happen inside the first year. Though, I also feel that had the issues with DC PS+ edition not occurred, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
