Otter is right.

PS4 has so much software sales than the SW that its almost in a different league. PS4 LTD in software will be 1.5 billion. Sony doesn't mind cutting price as the entire point is to bring as many people into the ecosystem as they will continue spending money on software.

Nintendo purposely price guards its releases so it doesn't hurt its bottom line. They entire revenue stream is completely dependant on first party sales unlike the PS4 which has great 1st party and third party sales.

Yeah, with just 1st party games, Nintendo can still survive very well without relying on 3rd parties, but Sony? No way they can do that. Agree with you.

Imagine trying to find a way that having great 1st and 3rd party support is a bad thing.

No matter how much we love 1st party titles on our console of choice it is very hard for the platform holder to keep the system feed all the time, so having good 3rd party support can help on that.

I'm sure the record sales will go all summer. Nice that the strong work / quality is rewarded. The Last of Us 2 looks like a next generation game, I find.

I hope that the devs get a solid bonus for it.
