Barebones in which sense?

I agree with Soundwave. My PS4 has been fantastic for multiplats, but the exclusives lineup is one of the worst first-years I've seen.

It just doesn't interface with any media that I have. I can pop a movie file on a USB stick and play it on my PS3, can't do that with a PS4, it just feels like basically all I use the OS for is to load up a game and nothing else.

The X1 to me, even though MS has taken a lot of sh*t, feels a lot more robust as an overall platform.

Once more just your opinions, you are proving nothing.

Well that's just your opinion. It proves nothing. ;)

But seriously the "proof" if you want it is that Sony themselves has said they don't understand why the system is selling so well. They know just as well as anyone who knows this business that the library as of yet is not anything great. It's comparable to the PS3's first year, maybe even slightly worse, yet it's selling far better. So it's an interesting case study I think in consumer perception and the role hype plays. 

It can play music now from a pendrive now. You can't play movies from the same pendrive, but you can pop in a Blu-Ray and watch it, use Netflix or Hulu to watch some shows, hell... even Youtube. And even with all of that, it can go from a game to the menu pretty quickly, even going as far as letting you play a game before it fully installs. So your argument is that the PS4 is barebones just because it doesn't play video files? Okay...

To me it's a step backwards. I had to go back to using my PS3 because my PS4 doesn't have the same functionality, IMO that's just not right. I mean playing music off the pen drive, that's nice (who really does that though?), but I guess why not movies? 

I think the backlash to MS' "always online" and thus crapping on everything about the MS' OS was a bit unfortunate from the online community. Sometimes onlines gamers can behave like spoiled children throwing a temper tantrum. MS' vision for the whole console OS and integrating it with TV is actually not that bad, I tried it out over the weekend, and I have to admit it's pretty nice to be able to flip to TV channels without putting the controller down or voice navigate TV channels. 

But all we got was "Ermyagawd! Stop talking about Teeee Veee! I wants to see Halo 5!!" at E3, lol. I admit I got suckered into that whole narrative, but since I've actually tried the X1 I have to admit their approach has some real merit to it. Their OS feels more "alive" and more robust and connected to my overall living room than Sony's setup.

MGSV, Persona 5, Dragon Quest Heroes, Yakuza Zero, Disgaea 5, EDF 4.1, Neptunia V II, RE: R2, Ys, Bloodborne, FFT-0 HD, FFF ADF, Hotshots Golf, DOA5, Dragon Ball Xenoverse, GE2 RB, One Piece PW3 and whatever I missed or unnanounced. Then theirs the chance of Tekken 7, FFXV and Touhou etc. The problem is many are available elsewhere (PS3/Vita) so who knows how well they will do. Recently The Evil Within was split 50/50 PS3/4. All we can do is hope for the best I guess What... touhou??!! when did they announce it for ps4, inb4 japan only T.T

It is not one game... it is more.

Yeah, I just started looking around after I posted that last post, and found out it was announced 2 months ago. Just goes to show how well I'm keeping up with the latest news, LOL.

Too bad it's only spin-offs, and not the main games. But hey, it's better than nothing!
