Congratulation to Sony, the biggest, greatest and best game developer in the world.
Playstation is always the winner!!!

We just gonna pretend the 7th gen didn't happen? Let's not burn the history books just because it doesn't agree with you. History is your friend and we can always learn from it! :)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Speculation+Bias+Downplay

Or maybe an opinion 

They aren't mutally exclusive. It was obvious it was an opinion, that's why I didn't say "+opinion". It's not like I'm making a valuative judgement, I'm just describing it with terms.

So we're going to pretend the PS3 hasn't sold more than Xbox 360, despite the former stumbling out of the gates and the latter having a one year headstart? Or were we going to pretend that the PS3 doesn't continue to globally outsell 360?

Well, Technically...

None of those terms are opinions.

Speculation is a theory or conjecture without firm evidence. You do not have evidence of how Sony finacials are set up to determine a reasonable guess of how they would react. A speculation is not just a guess, but a baseless guess. And since your paragraph didn't reference any firm evidence, then it is by definition Speculation.

Bias is an inclination of temperament or outlook to present or hold a partial perspective. Although I don't have any subjective(and solid) evidence on what that bias and so would be biased myself in describing that bias. Simply identifying that a Bias exists is an objective act in and of itself. Furthermore it is easy to tell because of your valuated claims such as "ps4 is not the center of the universe" and "company gets everything doing... mostly nothing". Insinuating that company(Sony) did nothing to get everything, discrediting it as though its on prospectives depends on its competiton is a valuated claim.

In addition you admited it was your opinion, so that presupposes Bias.

Downplay is the only term that could be argued as an opinion because it relies on the considered importance of said object being downplayed. However, I can objectively claim you are downplaying, commiting the action of downplaying, because of terms you used like "not as relevant" and "not as impressive".

So no. It is not an opinion about your opinion. It is a succint description about your opinion. Sure you can subjectively disagree with it, doesn't mean it is not an objective and correct fact.

What is it that causes more investment in games for a platform, in your opinion?


When the ps4 has the 60% of marketshare it will have all the multiplatforms... oh well this is happening today, and the past year. The same happens to XBO with the 28% of the market, it will not change. Also we have to think that ps4 is not the center of the universe in this matter, because if you count ps4, xbo. wiiu and PC, then suddlenly that marketshare number is not as impressive and Ps4 not as relevant  (30% maybe?) And of course, when a company gets everything doing... mostly nothing, with a 70% of marketshare they would need to do absolutely 0. But when a company is fighting for it the chances of the company making great things on its console to make people buy it are higher. When everybody buys the console because is the new trend, and we all have to buy it, then they need to make no effort whatsoever. 

Well, what makes you say that though? Do you feel that Sony were lazy with their first party games for PS3? Or which console are you refering to as an example?

No,  Sony wasnt lazy on the last Ps3 years, In fact, Sony gave the best they could thanks to the need to sell their console, because Ps3 was selling badly at first, so they did what they could. But sorry, I dont feel the same about ps4, I think they are very lazy now and they have no reason to change this time. And this is not an exclusive problem with sony, it happens a lot when a company gets too sucesfull, they become lazy and a bit arrogants for a while.
