PlayStation 4 lifetime sales pass 22.3m worldwide

First, the sales of the PS4 have been amazing and Sony should be commended.



For my own PERSONAL situation. I have a gaming PC so in my PERSONAL opinion, I would by a PS4 for Resogun and Bloodborne and maybe Last of Us remaster.


Besides that I dont see a lot of compelling software reasons to get one myself.

Happy to see the console doing well. I hope this means more Japanese games and collaborations from Sony.

This is definitely what I'm hoping for, a PS2-like library of Japanese games - and I don't mean RPGs, I mean Space Channel 5s and Katamaris and Gradius 6 (Thanks, Konami).

All too easy for Sony, where's the competition gone? Say the PS4 was released 20 years ago, would have made for a much more interesting "fight".....you had Sega still on the scene, Nintendo still giving as good as it gets...Atari still trying to make in-roads, 3DO/Matsushita threatening to de-rail the PS4 momentum with the imminent launch of the M2...(and in this instance the console actually DOES come out..)

Umm...you have heard of the PS1 right?

Much has been done to forget the past. It is better to just hate the present and curse the future because they don't fit your narrative.

PS4 is selling because people want it for a myriad of reasons. With many series moving to current gen only, you'll see sales skyrocket

Lol 2 pages in and PS4 sales thread turned into PS4 has no games thread

It was actually just a few comments in. Some people can't help but crave attention, and these people usually seek bad attention because it requires so little of them.

I mean, the guy comes off looking like a fucking idiot, but you know he's excited about being quoted so many times.

Hydrophilic is (was?) known for making trolling and joke post. I don't think anything he wrote there was serious, but my guess it that he was banned cause the joke was too much and maybe derailed the thread.

The only games on the horizon that I know for sure I'll buy are persona 5 and disgaea 5. Not really into Naughty Dog stuff and what else is there that isn't coming to PC?

On the other hand, I'm just some dude and the way I feel about it is probably not a good reflection of the 20m.

If you're buying persona 5 on ps4, would fighting games like xrd or shounen jump tied-ins like J-star interest you? Personally, I would pick plenty of other 3rd party jpn games on ps4 only over disgaea 5. Especially the upcoming falcom games.

But I do realize people like myself are even more of a minority compare to you.

Messiah gets it. PS4 has simply outcompeted Xbox this generation, and the more rapid front-end sales cycle has extended to consoles and not just hyped games.

PS4 isn't a gateway console for new gamers like Wii was at all.

Okay, I didn't mean the PS4 has the same hype as the Wii, I mostly meant that people that are interested in a gaming console even if they don't follow the line-up of games available, they will grab a PS4 because it's got that public appeal. Like what you said. It's true that it doesn't have that casual appeal like Wii, those 'gamers' have their mobile fix nowadays.

The console is still a joke when it comes to the game library. Two years in.

The way things are going can't see this success lasting long... The ball is in Sony's hands now.

I have plenty of games to play on my PS4, and plenty to come thank you.

How is a terrible example when it's one of the three consoles out right now? Why don't you say it's a terrible example because it doesn't fit my narrative, and I like putting my head in the sand instead when that happens.

GTAV definitely pushed consoles like crazy. Notice how I never said that first party exclusives are all that matter but that they definitely help. Get those big games from each console and if you get the 3rd party exclusives, you will do allright. Add good hype, strong message, a plethora of games, good price, along with a strong international pedigree and you get the PS4. People who keep acting like 1st party games are practically irrelevant in terms of sales must like dismissing the big franchise games when they release.


What the fuck are you talking about? It had them when it released and almost all of them bombed. Had they sold well, they would have kept making them. They didn't, they sold horribly. The idea that a console with slightly better specs of PS3/360 would sell more instead of Nintendo's first party IPs is one of the worst comments I've read here in some time

I didn't say the bolded (also, what are you talking about comparing hardware (PS3/360) with software (Nintendo's first party IPs)), nor did I say that 1st party games are irrelevant. In reality it doesn't matter whether a game is 1st party or 3rd party, so long as the game is extremely appealing and acclaimed. At this point I really don't even know what we're arguing about. I forgot what even initiated this.
 
Good sales, no good games.

This generation is so disappointing for me.
hopefully that changes this year and leads to even more console sales.

Wii U had 3rd party games in the beginning and almost all of them bombed which is why they have very little 3rd party support.

As a Wii U owner, they were almost all shit ports. It was like publishers decided to go for a self-inflicted gunshot would to get out of the draft.

Props to Sony, in any event. I hope I have a justification to pick one up within the next couple of years -- the library isn't yet there for me, though I can appreciate it is for many. :)

It's hydrophillic attack. I'm pretty sure it was a joke post that was too subtle. That's kind of his/her thing. In any case, I think nothing but joke posts are frowned upon.

we just had bloodborne and the show.
Click to expand...

Ok bloodborne I will give you, what else is there?? It's bone dry man!!!

I can't believe we are like 1 and a half years in and there is hardly anything!

Indie titles seem to be the quick easy book, for me if that is the future of gaming then sadly I will be left behind :(

Even Xbox only seems to push and release the big guns around November

This generation and the growing indie scene and all the free to play or pay to win micro transactions really are making my gaming hobby become boring.

My personal view I'm sure 90% of GAF will disagree
 
Wow, great sales.

Can see that figure ballooning during Holiday season 2015 with Battlefront and other big third party hitters.

Btw, I'M FINALLY BACK. :D

Then we're in agreement. What are we arguing about? -_-

EDIT : Not even worth it.

On topic good sales. Hopefully all three companies have a great E3. Bring on Bloodborne DLC From!
 
Hmmm, guess I'm one of the few that actually remembers how slow amazing games trickled out on ps3. With good Japanese support, a possible wii-like moment with VR, and Sony's best studios stepping up to the plate, I feel like 2016 & 2017 are going to completely outclass the current software. So what I'm playing now is already good, I'm just excited really. So much good out and so much good coming.
 
PS4's library is fine. If you still can't find any game that interest you, then maby the console isn't for you. Why continue crying about the "lack of games"? It's like some of you are being picky just to be. And it's hilarious that people still act like 3rd party games don't exist.

Bloodborne just came out last month. Probably the best current gen game so far. Apparently that's not enough. I assume the bunch of other games coming this year won't qualify either.

I'm playing a lot of games on my PS4, as many games have been released for it if you haven't noticed.
