I agree with the OP. As I said before the smoke is starting to clear.

Man, thinking Splatoon will sell 6m is crazy talk.

Have to say I agree with this article, As a owner of all 4 gaming platforms, PC, XB1, PS4, WiiU. I have this to say. Ever since Launch, what were the games that killed the competition for the PS4? PS4 has had the 3rd best line up of games this gen excluding Bloodbourne which has only just been released. The system has been riding a wave of success for unknown reasons since launch. The games are no different to what's on XB1 and PC yet falls short on 1st party exclusives but continues to dominate the market. Lets look at some of the most popular genres here.

1st party/Exclusive games

Racing
XB1 - FM5, FH2
WiiU - Mario Kart 8
PS4 - DriveClub
^ Clear winner is on Xbox

FPS
XB1 - Halo MCC, Titanfall
WiiU - Zombi U
PS4 - Killzone SF
^ Clear winner is on Xbox

OpenWorld
XB1 - Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, State of Decay RM
WiiU - ?
PS4 - Imfamous SS
^ Clear Winner is on Xbox

Fighting
XB1 - Killer Instinct
WiiU - Super Smash Bros
PS4 - ?
^XB1 and WiiU Tie

Platformers
XB1- Ori and the Blind Forest
WiiU - Mario 2D/3D, Donkey Kong Country
PS4 - Knack
^Clear winner is WiiU

Linear
XB1 - Ryse
WiiU - ?
PS4 - TLOU, The Order
^Clear Winner is the PS4

Now iv only mentioned some of the most popular genres here and its clear that the PS4 is lacking in games and quality. The PS4 is selling but its not selling because of its better games. I am still a little unknown with the WiiUs game lineup but I reckon WiiU has the bases covered especially in the platforming genre.

E3 is looking like XB1s best year of gaming, WiiU has some Gems coming out while PS4 is hiding in the shadows with no high quality franchises we can think will come out anytime soon apart from God Of War 3 RM. However the PS4 will continue to outsell the opposition regardless of its games.

This is what baffles my mind the most. PS4s more does not equal better. What ever 1st party game you buy on PS4 there is more of a chance theres a better counter part on another platform.
 
My post relates to Metacritic scores, quantity and popularity, and is subjective to my own opinion.

Guilty Gear Xrd doesn't make your list? Is it because it's on PS3 as well? Ori and the Blind Forest is on PC too.

The fact that people are taking this seriously is troubling.

Come on! It's funny to see the strong agreement. That's what makes it funny.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It's also very enterataining. I don't think any them actually read the whole OP, or at the very least the last sentence. 



so over 60% of WiiU owners should buy a brand new IP from Nintendo ?

Splatooon will sell 1,5M-2,0M max imo


Minimum actually 1mil-1.5mil minimum, 1.5mil-2mil is definitely going to happen, possibly closer to 2.5mil. Especially if my prediction of 1mil by end of june comes true :0

Well 60% is Closer to 8.2mil-8.5mil if WiiU hits 15mil lifetime, so no thats too much!

wow..... so THE LAST OF US sucks.... Sony haven't released that many first party blockbusters besides secound son which apparently sucks.. and bloodborne which also sucks ......

Last of Us was 2013. Infamous, while great in is own right, is completely overshadowed by GTA5, and doesn't have any sort of multiplayer/coop. Bloodborne isn't 1st party.....From Software is independant last I checked (not being sarcastic there).

Hey listen, PS4 is 1st place so no need to become defensive. That said, they are being more reliant on 3rd parties and indies. With 1st party being composed of average titles in their respective genres (KZ: SF, Infamous, Drive Club). Even LBP 3, a great title, flew under the radar of most core gamers (essentially outstaying its welcome as a IP) and sold on bundles alone. Sony has yet to showcase a real 1st party powerhouse with Uncharted being delayed into 2016.

I mean, these titles will come, they always do. But for all the good cred gamers are giving Sony, its gonna be 3 calendar years PS4 existed and they still havent released a real AAA powerhouse. That said, with the way PS4 is selling now, I doubt Sony execs are making 1st party games a priority like last gen, when they really needed them to differentiate.

GtA5 is sandbox open world, inFamous is sandbox open world. That doesn't mean they can be compared with each other. They're not the same kind of gameplay.

The way you approach every single of those discussions... You seem to say that every single game released by Sony needs to be the best of the best ever in the history of the universe for you to give them an ounce of credit. It got old a while ago. Not every titles will become powerhouses. It's the same for every developers. Including your precious Microsoft. And that doesn't make them bad games in themselves. They're still offering diversity. And that's the main point people are making here.

And just to make it clear, the PS4 will be two years old in november. Not three.
