Sony releasing flops? Even The Order will sell decently

Shokio, Blackbond, and the other stooges with opinions and Youtube channels are some of the absolute worst people in the video game community. They're a tiny group out to waste every one else's time with bait videos and uninspired trash talk. I'd take the opinion of a randomer on here over these wangs who only upload when they're running out of ad pennies any day.


Never heard of them but I'll take your word for it. Are they like crapgamerreviews and nrxtgen720?


Yep funnily enough, there's some sort of rivalry between the nextgen guy and Blackbond. It's all a big tragic lump of shite.

It has more to do with the multi-platform games the Wii-U misses out on than the exclusives it has. Wii-U doesn't even get the annual sportsgames or COD, what did people expect?

well nintendo said they go for the core gamers, and they did. cod and fifa are casual games and dont come to a core console.

they fucked up bigtime when they went away from the casual road after the wii, the sales are so bad because the targeted audience isnt that big, and its very fragmented. the twins are doing far better because they have a huge casual audience that doesnt realy care about quality or innovation.

sony is atleast trying to please to core gamer with firstpartys, but its pretty clear that the ps4 would sell well without any sony firstparty game.



Well the SEGA Dreamcast went after the "hardcore gamers" too and they hit the market perfectly. The problem is, it isn't big enough to sustain a console.

Is Blackbond a sony or Nintendo fan?

Yeah, the PS4's success is more about being a better console in terms of specs / 3rd party friendliness, memetic hype due to not fucking up the announcement like Xbox, and the snowball effect of being the more popular console after launch, rather than having the best "exclusives". Not exactly news.

PS4 could comfortably rest on its laurels as far as exclusive library goes for a while, but my impression was this year it had a few exclusive games that would put it above the Xbox library (unless you're a Halo fan) this year. The Order was a dud (reception-wise) but Bloodborne will probably be loved by the fans and the Dark Souls franchise has built up enough goodwill that having the spiritual successor as an exclusive should pay off. The latter part of the year will depend on E3 announcements. The Wii U may or may not have quality exclusives to compete with it for best lineup of the yearbut that only matters to a small segment of the market - for the mass market it's a two horse race, and it Sony's exclusives will have to keep bombing in terms of quality (not even just being "meh") while Microsoft has some great ones for the leader to change.

Sega couldnt make a profit if they have a beermonopoly. they were stupid, loved but stupid, i mean holy shit how can you come up with a idea as retarded as the sega 32X?

i think the core market alone can sustaine a console, and nintendo will make a profit with the wiiu in the end.

By the looks of it he used to be a Nintendo fan, but now a PC guy who makes videos shitting on Nintendo. He's pretty spot on when talking about fans though. 

He can also be funny as well, it's hard to take any of them seriously.



The stigma that unless the game is perfect it's a flop should stop wether it's an exclusive game on blah console or not...

Lol, I really don't mind all that much. Nintendo screwed up, but I've played my Wii U twice as much as my PS4 and Xbox One combined, so whatever.
