Over the head once more. Allow me to clarify what GameCollector has been trying to say the whole time.
In this world, there are games. And for the most part, the majority of these games are fun, intuitive and of decent quality. These are what we call quality titles. Now, the PS4, does actually have these kinds of games. No matter the redos, the ports, the exclusivity, what you've played and how you felt, if it hails better on other systems, or any other shred of bias. The only factor in this, is if it is a quality title and if it's on the PS4, which in turn revokes the statement made by R00bot. That was the whole point of it.
In attempting to counter that by means of saying stuff along the lines of "Second Son/Resogun is the only game worth getting on PS4", you're basically saying the equivalent to: "Games like Tomb Raider, Rayman Legends, Assassin's Creed IV, Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends and Dead Nation aren't and will never be, no matter what it is on, a quality title to the masses."
That's how base and direct GameCollector was being.
As for the topic, good job Sony. People on here seem to rant about how it is all hype marketing. Well guess what, that's what business is. If you tell people "This is what I have", you're gonna sell less than the guy who says "This is what you want". This is what Sony did. They went with "This is for the Players". They basically went and said "Right. We're gonna focus on getting devs what they want, gamers what they want and the business that we want" and **** me they are doing it with flying colours. You guys keep saying that the PS4 is just a multimedia box, but guys you can't even import your own music on it. The only thing that gets it to multimedia level is stuff like Quikflix/Netflix and the Share functions. It does less than the PS3 did.... no wait, it does less than the Wii U does.
Which, speaking of, the Wii U marketed what exactly? Now, I do know that I live in Australia where video game marketing isn't nearly as prolific as it is in the UK or the USA. Bugger if I've ever seen anything beyond the local game stores, and even then it's been what, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8. Didn't even see any displays for any of the other exclusives, like Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101 or heck any of the stuff that was there at launch. I'll admit, the PS4 is in the same position on that store front, not really having anything beyond the shelf, but at least it's on the side of buses, on TV, in movie previews, basically giant public places for exposure. I'm not gonna be stupid and say it is hurting Nintendo, just that it hurt their chances at achieving a lot more sales. A lot more.
X1 has the same deal, but I'll never be sold on it. We all know that PS4 and the Wii U will receive better games in their life cycles. Still gets more exposure than the Wii U. (Still kinda want for Killer Instinct though).
Marketing is bloody important in a competitive market. But more than that, people know what to expect further down the line, and most importantly, how often these things will come out. PS4/X1 will just have titles pumped month after month (regardless of whether you consider them quality or not), and the Wii U will get pulled out occasionally for a few good titles every now and then amidst all of it's too nerfed for comfort ports. It's about time some of you started realising this, with the Wii U being out long enough to get the general picture. I'm not saying you have to switch over. Be Nintendo only all you like. Just stop making yourselves sound like children refusing to accept the truth, jumping on everything unnecessarily. Take 3DSForums for example. You can talk about pretty much about anything over there, and this place used be just the same. Made talking about the Wii U and other consoles fun. But god forbid it now, you do that and it's the equivalent of a white man impersonating a black man. Time to bring out the ****ing cavalry.
To be honest, removing the chat box was the worst thing ever. That's when thewiiu became a hostile cesspit of people b*tching and no one understanding.
