Unironically, why has its commercial success upset the majority of Yea Forums so badly...

because Yea Forums unironically believes that 99.9% of the real world have $900 gaming PC's minimum, that they buy all multiplats on PC and that physical games are not purchased anymore. This place is fucking la la land. They think that people who buy a PS4 to actually use it to mainly play their video games are putting exclusives before multiplats. No.

its more that this gen is shit and the ps4 was the only option after the garbage Xbone. That and the smugness from sonysoys about winning by default

Yea Forums doesn't know what a REAL PC website actually looks like. Its not counter culture, its not underground or sekrit klub, its fucking 9gag. Seriously, go to fucking 9gag and go see who rhe PCMR actually are, what they play and how they behave 24/7 about owning a PC of any kind. Worse than a fucking Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

>this gen is shit

Whats it like living in Bizzarro world? I bet you think last gen was really good too.

>I bet you think last gen was really good too.
no

>x only won because y made a little mistake

Getting real tired of this apology. Only those mistakes seem to have happened 3 out of 4 gens now. Funny how NO ONE ever says "you know Wii only won last gen because Sony made a little mistake" like they do for gen 5. Like they do for gen 6. Like they are doing now.

>the gen of fullpriced early access/betas, loot boxes and games as a service
>not terrible
We didnt get any good games this gen until 2015 and since then we get 3-4 great games a year and we got a million money grabs

Everyone i know wih a PC doesn't play Fifa at all, what happens now?

>Funny how NO ONE ever says "you know Wii only won last gen because Sony made a little mistake" like they do for gen 5.
but people do? $599USD was a huge meme and a giant reason why PS3 struggled the first half of last gen

Wii didn't win last gen, Xbawks Hueg won 1st half and PS Triple won the latter.
face it fag, sony always wins

you must be yurocuck. No one plays FIFA in North America.

Im still happier with REmake 2 than RE5,6 and ORC over a 10 year period. Im still happier with DMC5 than DmC. Im still happier that everything isn't a rooty tooty shooter with a fucking piss filter on it. 2015 was the start of walking back a DECADE od mediocre.

Yea Forums is full of disgusting Nincels

EXACTLY. Here is how it goes:

>PS1 only won because because Nintendo and Sega made a little mistake. Next gen it wont be Sony.
>PS2 only won because Nintendo and Microsoft made a little mistake. Next gen it wont be Sony
>ROFL PS3 BLUNDER OF YEARS ALL YEARS HOW COULD SONY FUCK UP THIS BADLY $699! NO FUCKING GAMES HOW COULD SONY HOPE TO EVER FUCKING COMPETE WITH GREAT CONSOLES LIKE THE WII AND 360 BASED BASED FUKKEN BASED THEIR WONT BE A PS3
>PS4 only won because Nintendo and Microsoft made a little mistake. Next gen wont be Sony.

I am a Sonyfag but you are delusional as fuck, Wii won.

Could you tone down the victim complex? SJWs are upset they're being one-upped.

>im falseflag, wii won xD
great argument

>using the term false flag unironically

wii was only winning for a grand total of 10 minutes when soccer moms were all over it

The majority of Yea Forums is American and European. Eurocunts from Portugal to Novorosiya want PC to conquer all of home gaming. Americans prefer Xbox, but they don't admit that on Yea Forums. They don't have to, because there's pretty much multiplatform parity between PS4 and Xbone.

With that said, it's good for Xbox that the PS4 succeeded. Every Xbone sale is great for the PS4 as well. Duopoly has an enhancer effect. Imagine the console wars of the 80s and 90s as world wars with countless contenders, both big and small. Giants falling, younger companies conquering their place. Compared to those, the war between Playstation and Xbox/Windows is more like the cold war. Not too destructive, but this one might never truly end. Sony and Microsoft are frenemies.

Because I hate niggers

It's good and games are fun on it.

kino

It's a madden machine for you then nigger

Yea Forums is literally /nintendogaf/ for the millionth time they want anything to fail that isn't a Smashbros machine.

The underdog mentality.
Xbox gets praised because it got its shit kicked in waay too hard and it's painful to watch.
Playstation gets shat on because it's on top, as per usual.
It really is THAT simple. That and the board being mostly PCtendo, so Sony stands at the opposite side of the fanboy scale.

That argument does nothing, you're just admitting Sony does it best all gens but one (7th) regardless of how you put it. You don't want to admit Sony and their consoles are better overall (as dictated by the public) so you shift the blame onto the other two platform holders for being shit, but all that does is show how Sony is at least competent, meaning they are STILL better.
You're going from the truth:
"Sony's good > Miscrosoft/Nintendo are competent"
To the lie, which has the same result:
"Sony's competent > Microsoft/nintendo are shit"

EarlyAccess/crowdfunded scams were pushed and popularized mainly on PC. Those are unrelated to this gen of consoles, it just so happened to occur during this time period.
Loot boxes and service games are indeed a current gen problem, but again I don't see how this issue affects anyone whose opinion or existence I would give a fuck about.
If you care about Western trash in the first place, much less Western AAA trash, then your opinions have no merit.
AA Japanese games matter the most by far, followed by japanese AAA games, followed by veeeeeery few good exceptions in the western side of things (I'm excluding indies here), followed by nothing - 99% of EA, Ubisoft, TakeTwo, Activision, etc releases are irredeemable and don't count for the general consensus of a generation. Nobody should care about or play any of their games (again, aside from rare exceptions, such as Titanfall2 on EA's part). Big western 3rd party publishers are pure cancer so I refuse to put any weight and credence into them.

This gen was very good, like the other user who replied to you said. I can't say it was better than 5th and 6th gens, but that's just because 7th was HORRID and 8th gen was the recovery phase. In a way 8th gen is as good as 6th gen when we account for the overall growth of quality, it's just that 7th gen ended at a veeeeery low point so 8th gen had a lot of climbing to do, while 5th/6th gens had a great start and went from that higher initial place.
That being said, since 2017 8th has been as god-tier as 6th gen, easily. Soooo many great releases and the renaissance of AA games.
