"Sony launched their 8th generation home console, the PlayStation 4 launched in North America on November 15 and November 29 in Europe. This is almost exactly one year after Nintendo launched their 8th generation home console, the Wii U. In just over three months the PlayStation 4 has topped Wii U worldwide sales to become the bestselling 8th generation home console.
The PlayStation 4 has managed 5,847,194 units as of the week ending February 22. The Wii U has managed to sell 5,765,484 units as of the same date. The PlayStation 4 launched in Japan this week with sales of 319,689, which is what helped it top the Wii U."
The Nerd Stash: “The letter scene in Grandia is a magnificent, layered early example of the game's wonderful NPC interactions, and a real tear-jerker.”
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".
The ps4 is the best platform for video games because of its amazing value, powerful hardware, it's software, features, history, Sony first party devs and others.
Good job sony listened to gamers and offered the best value with its hardware and services. I loved that sony didn't betray their loyal followers by abandoning them and not focusing on core gaming the most but focus massive efforts on gimmicks like cameras and other peripherals that doesn't enhance core gaming experience
Sony Ps4s are selling out before they are stocked on shelves. Sony is the best gaming company for many reasons and the ps4 is selling well because it's the best gaming system. Looking at the other gaming companies that makes gaming console now and it'll become apparent that those systems are built around gimmicks that siphoned resources that could have been added to make the hardware overall a better device for core gamers.
Ps4 is the future and the future is ps4
nice
It was only a matter of time
By now to be expected and it should retain the position if the PS4 demand stays high in Japan and WW. All that must happen now is that the PS4 must weather the Titanfal storm then that should be the end of any doubt or debate that the PS4 are the crowned king of consoles. There are still some of those real or potential gamers out there that still don't believe the facts and reality but soon even them will be converted by the majestic performance and show of the PS4. Of course there will always be a few that remains unconvinced, as we see here on the N4G comments sections, right up until the end if we go by recent history during the previous gen.
Well obviously..
:D
