>The PlayStation 4 was the top selling console for November, taking back the spot from its rival console, the Xbox One. >Sony confirmed to us the PS4 was the best seller in the US, but had no formal statement on the matter. >Worldwide since release, PlayStation 4 has sold 50 million consoles since release. With a few rare exceptions, the console dominated the sales figures month after month
So we're already at 50m, do you think we can break 55m by the time the Nintendo Switch is released or do you think sales will slow down in Q1 and Q2 2017? I doubt it, considering we'll have strong months early next year, with exclusives like Resident Evil 7, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 collection, Nioh, Nier Automata, Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5.

I hate this shit
These people know video games are a global business right?
Sebastian Parker
Why do you guys care so much about this shit? You aren't receiving a single dime from any of these sales. And what' s with this "we" shit? What is this football? "We're going all the way to the superbowl!" -fat drunk in his recliner
Ayden Richardson
US was the only country where Xbone was beating PS4, now it's top seller everywhere
Anthony Bennett
I don't work for Sony, but since I own a PS4, they winning means I win. Game publishers and developers want to support the most popular system around, so great sales for the system I own mean more games for it.
They don't talk about global sales because the PS4 dominates Europe, South America and Japan. Only in the US we had the Xbox One winning for a few months.
Evan Campbell
You're right why does nobody ever report that Xbox has NEVER beaten Sony in the only market that matters: Japan
Jack Baker
More sales = better multiplayer experience = more attention from publishers = more games = more and better exclusives
etc.
Jack Roberts
Not OP, but being a console fanboy is like being a sports fan. You have your favorite team and you want them to win along with shitting on the fans of the other teams and poking fun at how less successful they are even though you gain absolutely nothing.
Wyatt Sanders
Why do console babies care about this? Why do you care how well a console sells after your purchased it? >tfw too intelligent to understand peasant logic
Christian Williams
It's been winning for 3 years and yet it still has no games. WaitStation4 indeed. Will be picking on up next month though, as that's when gaems will FINALLY start landing. I mean, it only took half the generation, but hey! Winning! rah-rah!
Zachary Parker
Didn't the PS3 sell 50 million in the same timeframe as well? And wasn't the PS3 the worst selling console in 2009? This isn't very impressive, if anything it's worrying that the PS4 is repeating the PS3's sales pattern despite being the leader.
Brody Murphy
>More sales = better games
The Wii should have the best game library of all time then. Your logic is flawed.
Aaron Fisher
muh sales

Jacob Walker
Consoles are dead in japan, they mostly play handhelds and mobileshit now.
Benjamin Fisher
Didnt work for Wii because grandmas and soccermoms are the reason the Wii sold so much.
John Rodriguez
it did have a good library of first party games but that's because it's nintendo and they would have made games for their own console if it sold well or not
Easton Williams
this whole gen show that hasnt happened.
Dominic Gray
Nintendo's Wii games were by and large shit.
Respect for Punch-Out! and Kirby RttD. However, most of my Wii games are from 3rd parties.
Wyatt Johnson
>muh casual meme practically everyone bought a wii. wii sports and just dance arent the only games on there you clueless retard
Carter Allen
The Wii can't be considered for this. It's a fluke for Nintendo and for game consoles in general. It has a very weird control scheme and it's absurdly underpowered.

What will you be playing on the next four months? I named 6 titles that you won't play on a system that isn't Sony's.
Nathan Roberts
O-o-of course, sony always wins
Christopher Bell
he wins self esteem, after not having anything to feel proud of in his life he has to ride on some random company's success
Asher Harris
>The Wii can't be considered for this
Because it breaks the logic of sales = game quality.
Its the same with the PS4. 99% of games are multiplat nowadays, the only exclusives that the PS4 has are games that would have been PS4 exclusive regardless of sales. ie Japanese games and games Sony helped publish or finance.
Hudson Anderson
its still shit , struggles to play war frame , war frame is 10 years old.
Carter Brooks
>most of my Wii games are from 3rd parties trying to think of a 3rd party game other than monster hunter that wasn't shovelware
Colton Lewis
WiiU flopped = dead after 1 year of medicore support and the worst library of any consoe
Xbone flopped slightly less = Lost good chunk of support and exclusives sell like shit
PS4 great success = Shiton of games from all third parties and exclusives strive
Kayden Jackson
looks like I struck a nerve :^)
Matthew Price
>practically everyone bought a wii. wii sports and just dance arent the only games on there you clueless retard >100 million = everyone had it PS1 sold 101 million, PS2 sold 155 million on the back a core gamers and not soccermoms and that showed in the library.
Now go cry somewhere else nintenhomo.
Mason Martinez
Because it's the only system that had good sales but poor game quality.
All the other best selling consoles - NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 - had the best catalogues in their respective gens.
Josiah Cooper
>exclusives strive PS4 exclusives can't even top Wii U exclusives
Juan Ramirez
>Xbone flopped slightly less = Lost good chunk of support
It didn't lose support though. All the same games that are coming to the PS4 are still coming to the Xbone despite lack of sales. It even got FFXV and it's still getting KH3. The only games that are not coming to Xbone are ones that would have never ended up on an Xbox console to begin with.
Parker Anderson
>we're back no, sony doesn't give a fuck about you faggot
Asher Bailey
Fragile Dreams, Pandora's Tower, Sonic Colors to name a few.
Meanwhile Nintendo shat out by far the shittiest Animal Crossing game, the divisive Mario Galaxy games (not a fan), the laughably bad PokéPark games, and an amazing DKC game... ruined by shit controls (thank god for the 3DS port).
Caleb Torres
PS2 sold 155 million on the back a core gamers HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PS2 was what brought casuals into gaming en masse in the first place.
Brayden Campbell
Is this where Sup Forums gets their insight and pretends like they played the game when they post here?
Brody Evans
And I need 6 titles that you wouldn't have played on a Sony system had the PS4 sold poorly.
Dominic Brown
They give me free games every month and very good weekly deals and flash sales.
What does Nintendo give you? 30% off at best one time a year for 10 year old games?
Austin Cooper
NO DELETE THIS
XBOX WAS MAKING A COMEBACK
NO ONE BOUGHT A PRO ON BLACK FRIDAY
THIS CANT BE FUCKING HAPPENING BROS, ITS NOT FUCKING FAIR

>they winning means I win. What makes you think that? It puts them in a position where they're free to treat their customers worse than the opposition; see the losing console of last gen being the one that had free online services. >Game publishers and developers want to support the most popular system around, No. They WANT to support every system, because a bigger net catches more fish.
Aaron Bennett

Hunter Morris

Probably.

well yes, the ps2 was the last great console, i still regret buying a ps3
Caleb Kelly

Stop
Gavin Fisher

Brandon Parker
Yes the WiiU has exclusive you know those games that are not shared on Xbox and PC.
Thomas Morgan
>if it sold better worldwide it would have gotten those games. Show me your proof.
Xavier Myers
>Game publishers and developers want to support the most popular system around Exclusives don't sell anymore, most games are multiplat now because they want to maximize sales. UC4 sold 5 million, Bloodborne sold 2 million, everything else is much lower. People only buy consoles to play CoD and FIFA.
Mason Ross
The best selling PS4 exclusive can't even top MK8, NSMBU or Sm4sh lmao
Wyatt Sanchez
Dragon Quest XI Fate/Extella Final Fantasy VII (Remake) Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Ni no Kuni 2 Shenmue 3 The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Yakuza 0 Yakuza 6 Yakuza Kiwami Ys 8
When at least 5 of these are available to purchase and PLAY, I will buy a PS4. As things stand now, and for the past three years, it's produced zero games I want. Which is fucking abysmal. Early PS3 was a beast compared to the 4's pathetic lineup.

"PS2 sold on the back a core gamers" is not a fact. Just shitposting

Lincoln Moore
consoles are dying, PS4 and One got like 1/10 of the amount of games last gen got, and the PS3 and Xbox already only got like 1/100 of the games the previous gen had, call of duty doesn't sell that much anymore, halo doesn't sell that much anymore, final fantasy doesn't sell that much anymore
Anthony Roberts
No shit, thats all nintendrones have to play. PS4 offers something for everyone. Thats why its successful, it doesnt cater exclusively to manchildren
William Cox
good post
Wyatt Peterson
>muh sales
No one cares faggot it's still shit.
SAGE! EVERYONE SAGE AND REPORT THIS THREAD FOR A CANCER FREE Sup Forums THE RE/V/OLUTION STARTS NOW!
Evan Roberts
PS2 is easily the most overrated console in vidya history, besides maybe the 2600.
Christopher Mitchell
Look at last gen. 360 sold over a million in japan and was more prominent in europe. Thats all gone now and PS4 has become the number 1 target for devs.
Kevin Barnes
>consoles are dying
I would say no, but Microsoft is merging Xbox with Windows, and Nintendo is merging home and portable consoles. That leaves Sony with no alternative.
oh who am i kidding sony is literally john cena
Jace Anderson
They also had the most amount of shovelware in their respective gens.
There is no evidence of causation between higher hardware sales and increase in game quality. If anything there's correlation with the better selling consoles getting more and more shovelware.
Jayden Myers
lol what a retard
Lucas Hernandez
Spotted the N64 babby. I know it hurt to lose FF7 but get over it already jeez
Colton Phillips
>see the losing console of last gen being the one that had free online services.
PS3 had sold 85 million units by november 2013. It continues to sell well and it still has games coming for it every month, plus upcoming games to look forward to like Persona 5. It's much higher than that number now.
Xbox 360 sold 85 million units by november and was discontinued, literally no games have come for it other than kickstarted ones since early 2013.
Nintendo had to sell 3 Wiis to make the same amount of money Sony did with 1 PS3 by the end of that generation, plus no one was buying Wiis or Wii games after 2010.
The PS3 didn't lose that gen, sorry.
Jayden Barnes
you're right the PS4 caters to retard who don't know you can play those multiplats on better platforms how embarrassing that a PS4 exclusive with a 40 million install base can't surpass the sales of a Wii U exclusive on a 12 million install base how embarrassing that Wii U exclusives get better scores than PS4 """""""games"""""""
Jonathan Ross
Most of these reviews would've been written when the median score was around 6.5. Now the median is more like 8.5 and anything below is below average

>pay $60 >get $1,105 worth of games alone for free after that, plus bigger discounts and multiplayer
Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me.
Cameron Martinez
This is clearly the wrong place to ask, but give me your honest opinion on the PS4/Pro With the new Marvel vs Capcom and a few other things on the way I'm considering getting one but it still kinda worries me. You do need PSN+ to play online multiplayer, right? I know I can get Marvel for PC but I doubt it'll have crossplay and I want an actual playerbase
Gabriel Ortiz
Sony is trying to build up PSNow so they can move to streaming-only in the future.
Brayden Perry
>Early PS3 was a beast wut
Daniel Sanchez
PS3 lost man go shill somewhere else
Aaron Bell
360 was the worst selling console in Japan last gen by far. Third party devs still supported the PS3 even back when it was in last place. The PS4 is the target platform for third party devs because it isn't an obtuse piece of shit to program for.
Camden King
Yes, it is embarassing that the PS4 is a success for giving fans what they wanted as well as being more interesting than its competitors. Back in 6th and even 7th gen, other consoles were viable besides just Sony's but MS and Nintendo have really thrown in the towel this gen to show they dont care about advancing their games.
Samuel Harris
>plus bigger discounts discounts you can't apply to the "free" games, preventing you from owning them rather than renting.
>and multiplayer who cares
Jayden Hill

Chase Hill
>Yes, it is embarassing that the PS4 is a success for giving fans what they wanted
The PS4 is a success because its other 2 competitors flopped hard this gen.
Evan Rivera
Still got more support than now. Sales are in a direct correlation to the games library of a console.
Connor Edwards

Piracy shot that one down pretty early on.
Andrew Powell
Are you retarded? Do you think these companies care about huge exclusive game sales? They are made with the only purpose of enticing people to buy their specific hardware to play a few exclusives while they wait for the tentpole releases like GTA, CoD, FIFA etc.
Exclusive games are just for people who REALLY like this whole shit.
Jonathan James
Are you honestly trying to shill for PS+? Even the most hardcore of Sonyggers have to admit the PS+ games aren't worth it, not to mention Sony hasn't used the extra revenue to improve their network.
Samuel Clark
>>Xbone sold 30ish million units No way They are most likely below 25 millions.
Ethan Gomez
>with exclusives like Resident Evil 7 why are you guys so shit?
Cooper Ross
so you admit PS4 fans "wanted" mediocre 3rd party platformers and not sony exclusives lmao and by advancing their games you mean charging for online and providing a worse experience than PC. all you're doing is proving the PS4 sold to 40 million retards, that includes you!
Liam Russell
>being more interesting than its competitors To me, the PS4's big competitor is the PS3.
No BC. Shit media capabilities. And most of its library are uprezzed PS3 games.
Can't even run music or videos from its own internal hdd, forcing you to buy an external drive. baka. I miss Krazy Ken.
Lucas Robinson
>Exclusive games are just for people who REALLY don't care about multiplats
Noah Sullivan
Still didn't catch up to 3DS. This gen is a disaster anyway. Laugh all you want at Nintendo's and Sony's fuck-ups. Shrug off Xbone already being practically obsolete. Mobile shit is taking over faster than ever before and there's nothing that can be done to stop this trend.
Hunter Bennett
>GUYS THE SELLS MAKES A CONSOLE

Colton Clark
It has the exact same support as it does now, minus a few niche shmups. Console sales only correlate to the shovelware library of a console.
