So the sales are nothing to do with Sony's decisions and choices. It's all MS dropping the ball?
Correct. Did you read the article about Yoshida not understanding why the ps4 was selling so well?

It's like a youtuber said, $ony ....ed up the least. $ony played it safe after messing up their ps3 launch.
$ony would not have the lead had m$ debuted the console they had now.
"We are so happy," Yoshida said. "But I for one am a bit nervous because we do not completely understand what's happening. You need to understand why your products are selling well so you can plan for the future, right? It defied the conventional thinking."
I need to know about this heat that MS is bringing
good exclusives
constant updates
and most important VERY open to feedback.
That's the heat m$ is bringing right now.
I don't understand how the ds4 is gimmicky, I like the way it works with GTAV. It's a blank canvas waiting to be painted on, it's up to developers to utilize it's functions.
The ds4 being used as a map is gimmicky. Let's say you accidentally graze it then it pulls up the map. That can get annoying. The speaker is also gimmicky.
Not to mention the light bar.
Now for games that actually utilize them in a cool way such as Second's son's graffiti art or Blue Estate's rail shooter gunplay, I'm all for that.
I wonder what Until Dawn can use the ds4 in cool ways.
But when it's just tacked on, it's like was this really necessary?
How I feel about the ds4 is also how I feel about the wiimote and wii u gamepad. Some games USE it, and some game use it. There's a difference.
The game that uses the DS4 the best so far is Second Son... It was cool how they did it... I liked how the light flashes when you shoot on Tomb raider too.
And the speaker is definitely different, I like that a lot too.
DS4 =
And it seems like they fixed the rubber issue on the newer ones. I haven't had any problems with my blue controller yet.
Check out Blue Estate. You can use your ds4 like a gun and it works pretty well.
M$ is not hot right now lol.
Most of the games released right now are available on all platforms, with sony hitting 20 million consoles sold, its very likely one of your friends or someone you know will most likely own a system now or perhaps cop one later this year.
project morph is gonna kill the VR market, although the Oculus Rift and Steam VR are good options. Just remember that Sony requires no hardware upgrades (PC video cards) to play. I think that right there is gonna be a huge factor considering that nobody wants to spend an extra $300.
M$ may have a augmented headset out... But from what I saw it seems like theyre focused on productivity rather than games.
It sounds like you don't own an xb1 and are using conjecture.
m$ is responsible for releasing one of the fastest selling consoles on the market to date. They're on fire.
They've been delivering on exclusives(games/features), updates, and feedback.
sony at 20M+
IT HAS NO GAMES THO.
I guess everyone bought it for its blu ray capabilities.
also is Final Fantasy Real Reborn a good way to gauge the series? i dont like it.
I recognize that as well.
Big ups to $ony for selling 20 mil, but let's not pretend $ony doesn't have other goals to accomplish.
Finally caved in and re-bought TLOU since it was $16.
