Wind back to 2013, where the fanboys were calling out Sony, saying their next console would be shit due to sony being in financial dire straights.

Sony built the PS4 on a shoe string, coming off of a disaster with the ps3, a new guy in charge, a move to the US and still, against all odds and aI competitor with deeper pockets and more goodwill, designed the fastest selling console of all time.

Keep your corporate shilling at the door and take a moment to reflect on what an achievement it is/was.

Sony was on death ground and came out fighting. Hopefully Microsoft will do the same next gen

2009 was the year shit turned around and by 2010 it was outselling both the Wii and 360.

everyone in 2013 laughed at microsoft, that's about the long and short of what was going on then

And literally has 0 games and shit sales.

Shawn Layden saved PlayStation.

It sold the same as PS3+ new China market. Thanks to cod/FIFA/GTA.

PS5 sell the same too.

Mobile gaming barely existed during PS2 era and PC was a niche. Now everyone walks around with a $1000 phone and the entire third world is playing F2P games on Steam.

The PlayStation 4 is the fast-selling home console to reach 100 million sales and, for the first time, digital game sales have eclipsed physical sales. 1B software sales since 2013.

Considering the fact that the PS4 was the market leader right out the gate for this generation and the massive expansion of the home console market, this really isn't surprising or significant. Whichever next-gen console emerges as the leader will also be the fastest to sell 100million units in history, and this pattern will repeat until the consumer base maxes out.

And also Switch

Attached: ps4.jpg (526x300, 27K)

Look at the graph again. Switch is at the exact same location PS4 was at when it had been out for the same time.

Not saying that's not impressive. But in 2013 to population of the Earth was 7.185 billion people. While for the PS2's launch in 2000 it was 6.122 billion.

You can't just throw down the raw numbers, inflation is a thing. It'd be better to suggest the PS4 achieved 0.0139% market penetration after 5 years. Which isn't super impressive when looking at the PS2's 0.0163%.

Janny has been seething since early in the morning.

I don't think anybody was expecting Microsoft to turn Xbox into a government surveillance machine.

ps3 was a success by the end but only because microsoft came along to give sony a much needed kick to the ass

I still remember people saying you could get achievements on Xbox One by holding up a bag of Doritos to the sensor. There were also people on the forums doing damage control by saying things like it could eventually be used to stop domestic abuse by having the Xbox call the police when it senses a fight.

Ps3 stopped being a disaster in 2010

Microsoft is already gearing up to do the same next gen while Sony is about to fuck up again, when they do there will be no Nintendo or Microsoft fucking up this time to save them.

Ps5 and xbox2 are the same infrastructure except ps5 has exclusives, dont know how it's a fuck up

Microsoft has never sold 100M consoles, and never will you delusional fuck.

PS5 will have no games, they're shitting AA studios and indies and their shitty AAA "games" take too long to finish, it's going to be the PS3 all over again, their political stance also doesn't help them.

And Sony will fuck up so badly next gen that they will not recover, ever, I'm not really expecting Nintendo or Microsoft to make the same mistake since they seem to learn from their mistakes meanwhile Sony has went back to their arrogant ways again and are endorsing trannies, only reason to defend them is if you are one. Sony will be joining Atari and Sega in the future, it doesn't how long it takes but it will happen, when it does, will you commit suicide or will you go over to Xbox, Nintendo, or PC?

Nice revisionism, nigger. Microsoft handed the generation in a golden plater by rushing the Xbone reveal while openly admitting it to be an always online box, Sony backpedalled on these same draconian policies they were about to adopt (as proven by multiple reports long before either consoles were revealed) and marketed heavily against during E3 and it all spiralled out of control from there.

Nobody has ever been able to produce proof about sony implementing always online into ps4

>way late
>did it faster
Are you ok?

No I worry the PS5 will be shit because Sony IS doing so well. They’ll get cocky and pull a Xbox one at launch situation.

They’re already losing devs to the fucking switch over their censoring shit and HQ is Cali now so it’s going to be a machine designed around inclusivity instead of being about VIDYA GAEMS

As a tranny, I know you're mentally ill and can't see it, when it happens please post up your final moments before you kill yourself as all trannies do. Just remember, the only reason and I mean the ONLY reason Sony did well his gen is because Microsoft and Nintendo allowed them to win.

They brought multiple studios to counteract that, they AAA studios and AA studios while also endorsing indies like Nintendo, they will have more games than Sony next gen, they're even looking into buying a Japanese studio. Meanwhile, Sony is still stuck making tranny movie games.

Switch is breaking Nintendo records and the ps4 still sells more

I'll spend the next few minutes looking for years old articles which everyone already saw, sure.

Stay delusional, tranny, Microsoft and Nintendo gave them this gen, nothing else, next gen is a different story.

For now, but their next games will be and with Microsoft's release schedule they have enough time to iron everything out.

The Last of Us 2

Days Gone
God of War
Spider-Man
And more to come, they even ruined Ratchet and Clank.

>the ONLY reason Sony did well his gen is because Microsoft and Nintendo allowed them to win.
If that was true how come the Playstation is still selling so well after NIntendo and MS got their shit together. How comoe 2017 and 2018, the years the Switch has been in the market are also the best selling years for the PS4. Wouldn't people abandon Sony if they had nothing to offer as soon as their competition stop allowing them to win?

Zhuge Liang was a pretentious piece of shit that got credit for other people's accomplishments. Never believe his lies. Even when he's right.

>Stay delusional, tranny, Microsoft and Nintendo gave them this gen, nothing else, next gen is a different story.
You are the one who is delusional. Or baiting. There is absolutely no reason at all for the hundred million Playstation owners to jump ship, and the fact that you keep eluding the question only proves my point.

>Nintendo fan is a tranny
I feel like this is super common.

The games on market are so much worse and less varied compared to the ps2 gen, who are buying all the PS4's or is it winning by default since Switch is handheld and xbone is boned?

Yeah, it took an entire generation for the PS3 to outsell a castrated Kinect-centric 360 and a waggle machine that peaked its sales halfway through the gen. Oh yeah, it also took kickstarting the soicore movieshit cancer.

What we're forgetting here is trust. Consumers couldn't trust nintendo after them going full casual shovelware with the wii, and nobody could trust microsoft after they pulled the plug on the 360 early on top of astronomical hardware failure rates. Then nintendo fucked up again with the wii u fisher price kids tablet shit and games even worse than the wii, while microsoft went full retard with the xbone reveal. Sony on the other hand fucked up the ps3 launch but did everything they could to make amends and proved successful in winning over gamers toward the end of that generation. By the time the ps4 rolled around, your choices were failing kiddieshit, a sterilized corporation that was up front about going against its consumers wants, and sony who was just there making games after working hard to get everyone to love them again. Cinematic games, sure, but that's what's in style these days so obviously most gamers didn't have a problem with that.

Switch sales are gonna sink like a rock the moment PS5 is revealed.

>Are you a fucking zoomer, they jumped ship when Onions fucked up with the PS3 and it can happen again
So you are already assuming a hypothetical scenario when Sony fucks up just as bad as the PS3, which by the way still sold better than the 360. As i said, there is no fucking reason at all to believe Sony it's going to fuck up. It's just wishful thinking.

Only idiots buy sony. its the sheep brand like samsung for phones. Bogan sheep with no brains think sony = videogames. Fucken idiots.

I guess you are calling all console owners idiots with this post, because if someone wants to play games and doesn't want to build a PC, the PS4 it's objectively the best choice by a big margin.

>They're made for them.
In what way

>where the fanboys were calling out Sony, saying their next console would be shit
They weren't wrong. Thing's been a dust collector for me.

We don't know this because we don't know the 360's final numbers from what I remember, the 360 outsold it all last gen. Sony has already announced that the PS5 may cost more than expected because they're too stupid to change countries so why would I not expect them to fuck up again? You're a corporate shill.

Where's the gameplay, I'm not paying $60 for a fucking movie.

Remember when Nintendohomos spammed this board with "evidence" that there would be no PS4?

What the fuck has to do that with trannys at all?

>We don't know this because we don't know the 360's final numbers from what I remember, the 360 outsold it all last gen.
Microsoft can update their numbers if they want. Right now, with what we have, the 360 was last. Also the PS3 outsold it every year since launch, it was only behind overall because of the year difference.
>Sony has already announced that the PS5 may cost more than expected because they're too stupid to change countries so why would I not expect them to fuck up again? You're a corporate shill.
They also said the price would appeal to gamers and Shawn Layden talked about the PS3 and said they weren't going to make the same mistakes with the PS5's price. The reality is the playstation brand is a lot stronger and Sony has presence all over the world while the Xbox may as well not exist outside the US and Uk. Not to mention the difference in quality between their exclusives this gen. The people who are now enjoying God of War and Spiderman won't jump ship for the guys who made Crackdown 3 and State of Decay.

Why do you guys care about how much a console sold? are you a fucking bootlicker or something?

Literally no evidence to support this. Meanwhile, analysis are already predicting the PS5 to move 20M units in year one.

I mean, you're just saying what the other guy said in reverse. Sony didn't have some sort of perfect box, and it's launch was very rough considering the best launch title for the console was fucking resogun. What Sony did correctly was make an affordable console that could still run everything pretty well and keep their userbase hyped up enough in the early days that they'd wait around for the solid exclusives they eventually started releasing. This is what most would consider a basic level of videogame business acumen, with Xbox and Nintendo spontaneously combusting with their really putrid consoles at the time. Now that both of those companies have righted the ship and Sony's box has slowed down slightly in sales late in it's lifespan we've seen more parity compared to the total shit stomping seen in 2015-2017 or so.

Damn....

It's over. Nintendo wins yet again.

>Sony was on death ground
If you were actually around back in 2013 you would know that Playstation 3 was turning around ever since Metal Gear Solid 4, but ESPECIALLY starting with Uncharted 2. That system had fantastic exclusives every year that drove sales up to the point where the system caught up to the 360 by the end; while the Xbox didn't have anything anybody cared about because Microsoft was pushing Kinect.

So far from dying; by 2013 Playstation was the cultural leader of console gaming again.

>ywn pass for a real woman

So he can claim moral superiority playing on the console that censors skin while he diddles kids on the down low

He goes to ResetERA, so it's no surprise.

Nintenchads always on top

Go check 7th gen sales charts: around the turn of the decade, most every multiplatform game sold the most on Playstation, and that has remained a constant since.

Yeah thanks to releasing 90% of all the worthwhile exclusives (the main selling point of the console) than it will ever have. After Pokemon and AC it's gonna drop hard, especially after the new Xbox and PS5 are released.

Fuck. How does Nintendo do it? Amazing game.

no, it's still a total shit-stomping. xbox is completely irrelevant at this point and nintendo's new toy keeps getting outsold by the old ps4.
