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
>Market is bigger >And yet they still couldnt match PS2 numbers until way late No
Jordan Cox
oh so you're NOT the fanboy, just everyone else is cool narrative
everyone in 2013 laughed at microsoft, that's about the long and short of what was going on then
Michael Perez

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.
Nathaniel Cook
>ps2 took five years and nine months >ps4 was "just" five years and seven months
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.
Look at the graph again. Switch is at the exact same location PS4 was at when it had been out for the same time.
Henry Edwards
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%.
>market is bigger >places to play games grown exponentially and mobile is bigger than traditional consoles Considering we are about to jump to phones/tablets playing AAA games via streaming, we are probably not going to see success like the PS2/4 anymore
Jaxon Reyes

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.

>Trying to act like Sony is anything besides the Disney of video games
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.
Gavin Hall
Nobody has ever been able to produce proof about sony implementing always online into ps4
Charles Rivera

Kayden Wilson
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
Angel Hall
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.

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 Horizon Days Gone God of War Spider-Man And more to come, they even ruined Ratchet and Clank.
We're not but they or should I say you're fucking up gaming with your mentally ill political shit and we're tired of it, you're shitting up every fucking industry you're in because you're fucking SJWs.

>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?

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.
Aiden Long
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.

But I'm not, I should proofread that better, I was calling that faggot a tranny, only reason you would call me a one is if you're a tranny yourself. Anyone that cuts their dicks off should be publicly shot.
Adrian Campbell
>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.

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.
Samuel Lee

Owen Ward
>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.

Blake White
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.
Joshua Scott

Aiden Adams
>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.
