Simple, the PlayStation brand is the strongest out of the three.

Marketing.

When you think about it, it is pretty clear. Marketing is by far the biggest diference between the 3 this gen so far. Nintendo don't really do it, Microsoft did everything wrong, while Sony not only did everything right but used MS mistakes against them.

Don't take me wrong, marketing won't define a gen by itself, but it has a lot of weight in the beginning, before any of them can build a true library of exclusives or find another big hit to drive sales.

I'll leave these here:

The better question and the more natural quesion would be 'why isn't the XB1 selling very well?' But let's not do the obvious.

Did I talk about Xbox One? did i tell you to compare them? No right, i told you give me 10  games, well and I see you cant give me them cant you.
Your talking about ''scores'' well nintendo whips the ass if it's about scores. come on give me 10 games, and you really think I should give it this makes me look bad, It's internet boy/girl I don't care, i just want my question to be answered

Well making an exception means something changed so that negates your full statement. Ya know, civilization as we know it ended, well... except that time it didn't... 

What would be the point? You'd only dismiss his list anyway.

Edit: LOL, just saw your conditions. We can't help it if we're more open minded and have much broader tastes in games. You're basically stating he can't include anything you don't like. LOL

It gives the people what they wanted. The most power, the least limitations, and the best variety of games for the cheapest price.

Good job in trying to make your opinion as fact but It can also be spin in a different way you know, here is how I see it.

Wii U: few exclusives worth playing, no third party support = poor to average overall library + too expensive for what it has = it deserved the sales it has.

PS4: few exclusives worth buying, excellent third party support (which are the real selling point between the masses)= better overall library than Wii U.

As much as you want to think that third parties doesn't count, people look at the overall console library which by looking at the multiplatform sales, ps4 is the place to play those games.  That maybe you don't like third parties games or see them as bad games, it doesn't matter, what really matter is what the masses want.

xbox: has better games overall but nobody ask them to try to pull the DRM fiasco that nobody asked for.  Now people got afraid that they might do it again.

Criticize playstation all you want but at least in the console space, they have deliver in every generation.  Even with the ps vita they at least tried but the sales of the games were poorly. it won't happen with ps4.  And again the most important thing is the overall library which include both first parties + third parties.

Wii U might have better exclusives than ps4 but overall which is what really matter, ps4 > Wii U.

My point wasn´t that WiiU is a better console though, but calling PS4 "The best console by a long way" is just ... absurd imo

The console doesn´t do anything better than XBO, is just a bit more powerfull.... how can be the best by a long shot? All the problems with XBO at first don´t exists anymore, they share 95% of multiplatforms and xbo has more quality exclusives.

So ps4 is not the one with better exclusives (that´s wiiu) and it´s not the best balanced between exclusives/multiplatforms/price.... so how can be "the best console by a long way"?

I wasn´t saying that the console was bad per se or something like that.

People bought the empty hype.
