AAAAAAAAAAND WE'RE BACK, BABY!

AAAAAAAAAAND WE'RE BACK, BABY!

>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.

Sony always* wins baby

>we're
>we
do you work for sont and benefit from this in some way?

if not. why should you care? fuck. why should any of us care?

>In the US

I hate this shit

These people know video games are a global business right?

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

US was the only country where Xbone was beating PS4, now it's top seller everywhere

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.

You're right why does nobody ever report that Xbox has NEVER beaten Sony in the only market that matters: Japan

More sales = better multiplayer experience = more attention from publishers = more games = more and better exclusives

etc.

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.

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

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!

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.

>More sales = better games

The Wii should have the best game library of all time then. Your logic is flawed.

muh sales

But if your favorite team is PC then you'reMAster race x°D

Sony always wins baby.

Consoles are dead in japan, they mostly play handhelds and mobileshit now.

Didnt work for Wii because grandmas and soccermoms are the reason the Wii sold so much.

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

this whole gen show that hasnt happened.

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.

>muh casual meme
practically everyone bought a wii. wii sports and just dance arent the only games on there you clueless retard

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.

4THEPLAYERS BABY

GLORIOUS 25 FPS

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.

O-o-of course, sony always wins

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

>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.

its still shit , struggles to play war frame , war frame is 10 years old.

>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

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

looks like I struck a nerve :^)

>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.

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.

>exclusives strive
PS4 exclusives can't even top Wii U exclusives

>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.

>we're back
no, sony doesn't give a fuck about you faggot

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).

PS2 sold 155 million on the back a core gamers
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
PS2 was what brought casuals into gaming en masse in the first place.

Is this where Sup Forums gets their insight and pretends like they played the game when they post here?

And I need 6 titles that you wouldn't have played on a Sony system had the PS4 sold poorly.

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?

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.

>PS2 sold 155 million on the back a core gamers and that showed in the library

lmao

>Wii U exclusives
Please be bait

>The only games that are not coming to Xbone are ones that would have never ended up on an Xbox console to begin with.
Disagree, if it sold better worldwide it would have gotten those games.

>blah blah casual hardcore durrr
shut the fuck up you dumb nigger, what do you mean about the library all those consoles had shovelware

>free games
>$60+tip
>"free"

Probably.

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

>second game on that list is Darkwatch
>which was multiplatform

Stop

"free"

Yes the WiiU has exclusive you know those games that are not shared on Xbox and PC.

>if it sold better worldwide it would have gotten those games.
Show me your proof.

>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.

The best selling PS4 exclusive can't even top MK8, NSMBU or Sm4sh lmao

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.

>Manbabbies cant take facts
So this is the nintendelusion all nintenhomos share?

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

Here is your (you)

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

No shit, thats all nintendrones have to play. PS4 offers something for everyone. Thats why its successful, it doesnt cater exclusively to manchildren

good post

>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!

PS2 is easily the most overrated console in vidya history, besides maybe the 2600.

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.

>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

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.

lol what a retard

Spotted the N64 babby. I know it hurt to lose FF7 but get over it already jeez

>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.

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"""""""

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

we did it bros

Reminder you're either with us or against us #greatnessawaits

>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.

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

Sony is trying to build up PSNow so they can move to streaming-only in the future.

>Early PS3 was a beast
wut

PS3 lost man go shill somewhere else

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.

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.

>plus bigger discounts
discounts you can't apply to the "free" games, preventing you from owning them rather than renting.

>and multiplayer
who cares

>do you think we can break
>think we can
>we
You're fucking retarded and are everything that's wrong with gaming nowadays.
You're not sony, eat a dick kid.

>PS4 sold 50 million units
>Xbone sold 30ish million units

Xbox was never on top.

>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.

Still got more support than now. Sales are in a direct correlation to the games library of a console.

>don't do tvtvtvkinectsports
>don't do wannabe ipad - starfoxlol
aka not being retarded

Piracy shot that one down pretty early on.

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.

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.

>>Xbone sold 30ish million units
No way They are most likely below 25 millions.

>with exclusives like Resident Evil 7
why are you guys so shit?

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!

>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.

>Exclusive games are just for people who REALLY don't care about multiplats

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.

>GUYS THE SELLS MAKES A CONSOLE

Actually Kill Yourself

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.

WE DID IT NEOGAF BROS!!

SONY ALWAYS WINS
