PlayStation 4 is Winning, But What's Next?

Almost immediately after PlayStation 4 launched in mid-November of 2013, it was clear that Sony was on to something. The company managed to sell a million PS4s in 24 hours, and the console was only out in North America. It was an incredible victory for a company that previously announced over a million PS4 pre-orders that were presumed to be spread across multiple territories, from the US to Sony's stronghold of Europe to its home country of Japan.

PS5.
@Abash. I stand corrected, good day to you sir.

[Abash]

Virtual Reality

That's a good question. X1 not outselling PS4 means MS is amping up exclusives, but what about Sony? They are already financially unstable and know they don't need to take risks since te PS4 is already selling well without emphasis on games.

According to PC Master Race

"Sony understands where console gaming is going, and they understood it way before their competitors."

@ George

"...te PS4 is already selling well without emphasis on games."

Irony at its best.

Which manufacturer designed a console around TV (with gaming as an afterthought)?

Take your time. I'll gladly wait while you wrestle with that.

[randomass171]

Games as well! Traditional and VR. :)

Good read. From the article:

" Before long, Sony will need to deliver those triple-A goods, and the truth is that, at least in 2014, the company doesn't have much. The Order: 1886 is supposed to come out this year, and the much-delayed Driveclub is, too, and that's basically it."

Well that's assuming they have nothing to show at E3 for release this year. Also the importance of multiplats are understated in this article a bit.

Good times though. Both PS4 and the Xbox One are doing well. This fierce competition is what the industry needs.

[levian]

Sadly, it doesn't matter what they show at E3 in this respect. Sure, there's gonna be some awesome stuff that everyone will want. But none of the things they show will be out until 2015 at the earliest.

If they had any real AAA games to be released this year, it would have been shown at last year's E3. Luckily we'll still have games to play, just no exclusives.

Question: Playstation 4 is winning, but what's next?

Answer: More winning.

[Automatic79]

Very good article well said.

[GamersHeaven]

Games next question.

[Lawboy2]

I love Colin...he is the man...that is all

MLB the Show 14 on May 6th. to tell you the truth, there is going to be a long summer drought for all three of these consoles as I don't see anything that is worthwhile over the summer unless you count TLOU HD in Jun by that is still a remake of an old game.

[ShowGun901]

i haven't played TLOU yet (not completely anyway, just an hour at a friends house), so that will be a day one for me!

the show looks good, and im using the summer to pre-order a few holiday season games coming out! you know how it is, June, july, nothing... November? 12 games you want with money for 2 LOL!

[Baccra17]

What's next? They win some more.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

A lot of amazing games from Sony's 1st party studios, JRPG's later down the line, and more superior 3rd party games with exclusive content like Watch Dogs Arkham Knight, and Destiny. Oh and Titanfall 2 at 1080p someday. And project Morpheus has a lot of potential.

[kungfuian]

Um...More Winning...Duh

[jhoward585]

I'd say go for the kill at E3. Just kidding.

[MasterCornholio]

Is Microsoft going to kill Sony again at E3?

;)

Was so funny when they said that.

[jhoward585]

I don't know. I hope MS doesn't put too much focus on last years games. Its seem they've already use up 4-5 slots already. quantum break/sunset overdrive/halo/etc.

I think Sony has used up like one-two slots so far. Drive club is one of them.

we will have to wait and see.

[ShowGun901]

"PlayStation 4 is setting sales records, but when you look at historic console sales, Xbox One is trending well above average."

i guess the ps4's sales are just trending off the chart! LOL

[MegaDan]

Whats with all these random articles downplaying PS4's success?

[Nelson M]

What's Next ?

More Playstation Domination !

[brew]

Come on Colin.

"Microsoft's upcoming catalog in the immediate future is far stronger Project Spark, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, and the much-rumored Halo 2 Anniversary could easily level the playing field "

You overlooked some Sony games -

- MLB The Show 14
- The Last of Us Remastered
- Planetside 2
added to -
- Driveclub
- The Order 1886

[Geekman]

This comment willbe disliked and reported for some stupid reason, but I'm already unpopular on this site so....

I could just play Baseball myself

The Last of Us Remastered is just a remake. Nothing extraordinary.

WTF is Planetside?

Driveclub and The Order are EPIC

70% of the games you listed are uninteresting.

NO, NO, PLEASE, PUT THE PITCHFORKS DOWN!

[Inception]

"I could just play Baseball myself"

Play baseball by yourself? how? catching balls with a wall? But this isn't about you. This about other people who wants to play baseball on video games with their friends.

"The Last of Us Remastered is just a remake. Nothing extraordinary"

What about people who missed the experience and now they want to play it on their PS4?

"WTF is Planetside?"

One of the best MMOFPS on PC

"70% of the games you listed are uninteresting"

For you not for other people. And add those titles with Uncharted 4, Lily Bergamo, Guilty Gear Xrd (exclusive only for PS consoles), Deep Down, or Transistor will make another great addition for PS4 owner OR attract new people to buy PS4, just like me.

[Hicken]

It'll be disliked because it's a stupid ass comment.

Jesus Christ! Why play ANY video game? I can just go it and shoot people, kick people's asses, drift my car around corners. I don't need video games.

I'm not even gonna get into the rest of your stupid comment. But what the hell do you expect when you say something that completely lacks any shred of intelligence like that?

[Potnoodle999]

Well deserved Sony :D

[TitanUp]

ff14 is my game right now on ps4 its an amazing mmo experience on the console.

i wasn't sure square could do it but they did.

[dodgefate]

What's next?

- The Division
- GTA 6
- Call of duty 58
- Battlefield 22
-

[Max-Zorin]

What's next? Sony monopolizes the industry.

[Hicken]

So far, their domination has been a good thing, so odds are it won't actually be so bad if they do it again.

[Max-Zorin]

And if they ever decide to get arrogant again, there's always 2006 to think about.
