Asked whether the PlayStation 4 might avoid this drought, Yoshida placed faith in the many indie developers working with Sony to fill in potential gaps in the release schedule. "Now there are so many games developed by indie teams," he says. "Of course money is important to these teams, but it is often not the primary motivation, and so they will spend extra time [in development] if they need to. So these games will be continuously released through next year. That is my expectation

It's gonna be funny when Xbone and PS4 have a drought, but we'll be playing games.

Yeah, exclusives like mario and zombiu, mass effect, batman, cross-generational games like call of duty.


Of course a new console's going to have a drought.

Who was that that told me the PS4 wasn't going to have a drought? I forgot who, but time to eat your words. While it's having a drought we will be playing top notch exclusives.

Every console has a drought after it's released. I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

fangirlism.

At least the ps4 shouldn't have a 4 year drought like the ps3 did.
or an 8 year drought like the psv had (has/will have).

As long as it isn`t a Wii U like drought, they are fine. Don`t really see Indie titles keeping sales of HW stabilized.

Not every console will have a perfect run. I mean look at the Wii U, had nothing for 7 months and now its getting some games. Although the Ps4 is confirmed easier to develop for and has more ram I don't think it will be longer than 3 months.

The Wii U had a few indie games, and half-ass ports in those 7 months.

Not really considering the Wii U went through it too and is still going through it. All new consoles typically go through that phase.

It'll be funny when p4, x1 and wu owners are playing games next year while ouya users are watching movies on it instead because it's not a games console.

We just need to keep our mouth shut and don't announce this to Sony fanboys, I want them to be shocked when they get a feel of the drought...

 

While Wii U owners will be playing games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros U, having laugh's at ponies that will went berserk and have a flashback at those first three cruel years that PlayStation 3 when it was bleeding and sucking Sony's wallet dry and then we will hear their excuses. Ponies will fart rainbows and will be running in cycle, do they really though that they won't have a drought?!

 

Lets prepare to see their ego hurt and them being butthurt... :3

Companies really need to think things over first. This is why the 3DS had asuch a long drought and the Wii U as well.

Next year will most likely be gold for the Wii U. Thats what he meant.

there is literally no way around it.

you can save up 12 first party games and launch the system 3 years later, and the third party will have some launch games, but they're not going to bet as big as you are so you'll still have your drought.
Then after the 12 first party games are released, what do you make from a first party perspective? you've exhausted all your franchises, are you going to make sequels?

Except when the PS4/Xbox 1 go through this phase we will have DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Wonderful 101 out and games like Bayonetta 2 and Smash Bros will be following shortly. The drought is ending, and at the same time it emded for the 360: a year after launch.

Nintendo has not exhausted their IP's. Your logic is false.



yeah but at least xbox 1 and ps4 are coming out with great games straight from the off, :)

You must be referring to the abundance of bro dude shooters. In that case Nintendo had a bad launch but if you are talking creative games Nintendo had the best one.
