2015: Why the PS4 Remains the Best Console

PS4Home: "We aren’t even 2 years in, yet we are beginning to see why the PS4 has matured and blossomed into the obvious console of choice."

DarkOcelet3274d ago (Edited 3274d ago )

PS4 pretty much sealed 2015 for me by two exclusives.

Bloodborne and the upcoming Persona V. The rest is icing on the cake.

Until Dawn
Ratchet&Clank
The Tomorrow Children
Wild
Soma
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
No Man’s Sky

All those exclusives are on my list aside from the 3rd party games. Its a great year so far.

styferion3274d ago

It also helps that on many sides of the world most of your friends are on PSN, I mean we're paying customers not Christopher Columbus, we pick sides where our friends exist not isolating ourselves being some pioneers.

DarkOcelet3274d ago (Edited 3274d ago )

Hehe, i like to go solo :)

And i did make alot of friends online that i didn't know in real life when i was on the X360. So its the same here btw.

And most of my real life friends are not gamers at all which is bad yeah but my brother keeps me company especially in co-op games so its all good mate.

And like i said, i usually like my games solo.

styferion3274d ago (Edited 3274d ago )

I myself also prefer singleplayer games, especially RPGs, I literally bought WiiU only for the one game Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I think exclusives have significance mostly on region where the sales are neck-to-neck, or for people who want to buy second consoles like me.

For gamers who can only afford one consoles, whether because of finance or angry mother/wife reasons environment plays a bigger part than exclusives. Previous consoles, friends, local stores, media.. there's all kinds of factor instead of just who has the greatest exclusives. Like for example in my country's biggest internet forums, the first place people go to when they look for friends to play with, barely 10 people there play Titanfall on XB1 on its peak. And don't ask how many play Halo:MCC, it almost didn't have a forum thread.

So yeah, it's not like people around the world blindly hate some consoles and sheeps buying things because of hype or some dumb nationality reasons, it's just that our environment makes the choice obvious from the start. Unless you have money of course.

miyamoto3274d ago (Edited 3274d ago )

PS4 is the best because PS4 is the most powerful, well balanced, well rounded, most accepted, most acclaimed, and most developed for console platform on planet Earth.

It has the best balance of:
Japanese and Western games;
AAA, Mid-Sized, and Indie Games
Mature, Teen and Everyone games
Genres of games
Support in All Regions of the world
Paid and Free Games

Letthewookiewin3274d ago

Well I have no need to post my thoughts now :)

joab7773274d ago

Same for me. Making a logarius wheel build now. Just upgraded to +9.

Anyway. I also like knowing, or at least never having to worry about multiplat either. They will either be the same or better.

I will grab an xbone at some point, as I am sure they will have their moment, but so far for me, Bloodborne is the best next gen game to date.

iTechHeads3274d ago

Because PS4Home.com is the one writing the article and I can't imagine this site saying anything else.

(Ouya rules BTW)

StrayaKNT3274d ago

Hours I've put on my xbox 800+
Hours I've put on my ps4 30+

Oh wait it's ps4home.com lmao

Seriously its clear Microsoft owned last year and this year and by the looks of all the megatons Microsoft has announced, next year is already in the bag

Germany73274d ago

You are the best source, they should make an article about you.

Provolone243274d ago

Megatons? What megatons? E3 hasn't happened yet. And even then I wouldn't hold your breath. Surely you're not refereeing to Microsoft's "blockbuster" holiday lineup featuring the same three games they've been pumping out for over a decade now? Or maybe you are because you're clearly delusional.

Big titles for Sony in 2015:
The Order
Bloodborne
MLB 15
Until Dawn
No Man's Sky
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
(all but one are new IPs)

Big titles for MS in 2015:
Halo
Fable
Forza
Ori? (idk if I'd call that a big title)
Tomb Raider doesn't count

Idk what you're smoking but please keep it far, far away from me.

aceitman3274d ago

sorry I hit disagree I do agree with you provo

ilikepizza3274d ago

the order was a big title but it failed terribly

bloodborne is a niche title, sold well but has made gamestop rich with all the trade ins

mlb meh,probably sells 2 million lifetime,not really big

until dawn a former move game that no one cares about,not a big title at all.

no mans sky,another game the media makes out to be the 2nd coming of jesus but the general public will ignore this game as will I

everybodys gone to the rapture,no one known eveything about this game except its ps4 exclusive

xone indies destroy anything sony will have this year and next. Smite and gigantic will be huge and then you have elite dangerous which you hear much about on this site but menetion no mans sky and you get clicks despite no info on the game since last years e3.

Tomb raider counts lol,after my gf's friend played tomb raider from gas with gold she will be getting the halo 5 edition xbox one with rise of the tomb raider,it will be a console seller that goes without saying. Everyone is so quick to say xbox is having a game drought but wont mention sony has nothing coming till spring 2016 and we know that will get pushed back to summer or fall,it's quite ridiculous when you look at sonys line up since 2013.

Number 1 console based on hype,you promise everyone over 40 games in the works,hint at sony staples (uncharted,god of war) people got hype,greatness awaits but is not here just yet.

Number 2 media coverage ( look at this site most of the stories here are pure sony fan bait for clicks,this site has never been more profitable in all it years I'm guessing)

Number 3 the price,good move on sony for that one,even if it means they took camera out at the last minute to undercut xbox. Now it bites them in the ass when they are pushing morpheous and you need the camera.

All 3 things that go against the xbox and you have recipe for disaster except the xbox one is thriving in it. The updates keep coming,games keep coming and the windows 10 overhaul will make the ps4 look like the ps3.5 that it is.

6 years ago the xbox 360 was looked at a super media center and the ps3 was catching up. Gaming consoles were becoming all in one media boxes. Now everything has Netflix,hulu Pandora and youtube. Its no longer special and now the ps4 and xbox one are looked at as basically gaming consoles. That all changes when you introduce things like game streaming, universal windows apps, tv dvr'ing and you know they have much more things planned only possible on xbox or a microsofts platform. This is just the beginning, it was beta tested for the future :)

@ilikepizza:

The denial is strong within you.

I can tell.

Automatic793274d ago (Edited 3274d ago )

remixx1163273d ago (Edited 3273d ago )

You know Ilikepizza

I really can't stand when you fanboys try and pick apart games like that....I can easily do the same.

Halo-rehashed shooter that Microsoft won't let die because it is their only real money maker.

Forza-a stale rehashed yearly franchise that had once been great.

Scalebound-a niche franchise that will make GameStop rich with trade ins

Tomb raider a coming to ps4 and PC later

Ori-a Nintendo style sidescroller.....

I could go on but I'm making myself vomit because none of what I said are facts, they are all just fanboy sentiments that jackasses cough up to help justify their purchase to their parent company that doesn't give a f*ck about them.........idiot.

Not to mention Sony indies, rime (lol MS gave this one up and phil said he regretted it), no mans sky, the tomorrow children, WiLD etc.....now those destroy any indies period, hell you could mistake rime and no mans sky for AAA games.

Also why does the sale of mlb or any game matter or if its niche???? Oh I get it you only play mainstream games right?? Nothing but halo, cod, FIFA for you huh big boy??

wegetsignalx3266d ago (Edited 3266d ago )

@ilikepizza

The Order was a good game that sold pretty well. Bloodborne did not "made gamestop rich with all the trade ins ", you are spreading baseless lies. Stop trying to downplay Playstation exclusive games.

Both consoles have good indie games, but PS4 has far more higher rated indie games and more higher games overall. Stop blindly praising some indie games and blindly hating others.

"it will be a console seller that goes without saying" No it won't sell many. People will wait for the timed exclusivity to end.

PS4 is not #1 based on hype, it deserves every sale. It has a large game library, a solid online network, and it's the most powerful console.

Morpheus has nothing to do with PS4's sales success and if the camera is required for it, there will be bundles with the camera. Stop spreading FUD about Morpheus.

PS4 is also getting many updates, including the major 2.50 update.

@ilikepizza so many of your posts are marked for trolling, I'm not sure how the moderators missed that one.

Which xbox? xbox1 or the xbox one? wait whaat!? o_0

Stogz3274d ago

Ah, of course! One of the biggest and saddest X1 fanboys on this site says X1 will win next holiday, it must be true!!

MasterCornholio3274d ago

Its funny how you assume that your opinion equals the world. And you also claim on a regular basis that if anyone disagrees with you they are not gamers.

Here's my opinion. I believe your comments are quite immature and you don't have any respect for the preferences of others. A true gamer is someone that while they might not like every single game of every single system on the market they respect the preferences of others. A true gamer also desires that everyone has an amazing experience with their platform and doesnt wish them any bad.

As a gamer I respect your preference for the XB1 and I wish you the best of times with it. However as a gamer I will not accept you insulting others for not having the same preferences as you.

If we all learned to respect what other people like the comment section in N4G would be a lot more peaceful.

Khajiit863274d ago

Owned last year?? BWWWAAAAHHHHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAH

You are an amazing source for TRUE facts...... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!! !

StrayaKNT3274d ago

Sorry dude Im wrong wrong, driveclub and Lbp owned last year lmfaoooooooooooooo

ninsigma3274d ago

So the amount of hour YOU have put in is indicative of the rest of the worlds favourite console?? Yeah ok lol
Ms didn't own anything last year. They had a great Christmas I'll admit but the whole year consisted of titanfall and the xmas lineup. That just sucks.

@your second comment
Lbp was an awesome game so I don't see your problem. Not a racing fan but I heard DC was a very good game once the bugs were fixed. If halo mcc gets a pass for its bugs so does DC. Also last year doesn't only consist of september to december so on top of lbp and dc there's infamous second son, tlou remastered, mlb etc. Compare that to titanfall in the same time period. Prefer your xbox all you like, it's a great console but stop coming in here with fanboy nonsense to stir crap. If people weren't so defensive we may be able to have some constructive conversations around here.

Ocsta3274d ago

Two queries if I may: what are you on, and may I have some? OT: Sony IS gaming. Have been for 20 years.

Automatic793274d ago

@AussieGamer 1

I feel exactly like you I own both and my Xbox One Primarily gets all the game time, but on this website for the time being we are going to get more disagrees then agrees for simply stating we love Xbox One more. Then you got guys like Provolone24 pushing BS agendas like Xbox One has no games by creating long list of games for PS4 and shortening the list for Xbox One.

ninsigma3274d ago

Oh stop acting the victim. There has been plenty of that from xbox fanboys as well. This whole gen all I hear is "no games for ps4". It comes from all sides so stop acting as if it's only against xbox and stop whining. How do you think WII U fans feel when people keep saying that console is irrelevant?? Provolone24 is clearly just a fanboy so I don't know why you're taking it to heart. You know Aussiegamer is a fanboy too right?? He only ever tries to stir the pot. And so what you get disagrees?? They literally do nothing to you, just an insignificant number on a screen. Get over it.

SpinalRemains1383274d ago

What's wrong with that?

This website is just indicative of the rest of the world where most gamers prefer PS4.

If most gamers prefer PS4, and you prefer XOne, is that not the textbook definition of "disagree"?

I dont see what you're complaining about.

wegetsignalx3266d ago (Edited 3266d ago )

Listwar is completely factual. There is a disparity in # of upcoming retail and digital games in favor of PS4.

Both consoles have good games, it depends on what the gamer wants to play. It's not fair to trash PS4's library because it doesn't have an abundance of shooters like Halo, Gears, or Titanfall.

PS4 has a wider variety of genres and higher rated games in non-shooter/racing genres.

You really think anyone here believes you do own a PS4?!

I don't even think you believe half the sh*t you say......I feel like your mouth is just on autopilot.

wegetsignalx3266d ago (Edited 3266d ago )

Both consoles have good games, it depends on what someone wants to play.

Xbox has higher rated games in the shooter and racing genres. PS4 has higher rated games in other genres, more games, more higher rated games overall, etc.

Just check metacritic or listwar.

@aussiegamer0 ummm sales say otherwise , how is it u think xboxone owned either year when the sales for ps4 has been owning since launch ,ps4 has had ps4 exclusives all year while ms just hits in October through December leaving months without xboxone exclusive games seriously its clear all around sony has it in the bag . not to mention unannounced games coming . xboxone has halo , forza 6 as xboxone exclusive this fall and I mean xboxone exclusive not xboxone - pc games and not timed exclusive games ( tomb raider ) http://www.mcvuk.com/news/r...
http://www.ps4home.com/16-u... this list while its about 13 true ps4 exclusives there is a larger number this is only a small portion of games exclusive to ps4 this year .

Germany73274d ago

We could talk about variety, quality and quantity of Sony exclusives in comparison of Xbox. Saying that Microsoft "owned" anything recently with Xbox One it's crazy.

StrayaKNT3274d ago (Edited 3274d ago )

Sales say otherwise?
So kinect adventures is better than any ps4 game because it has sold 24 million?
Or forza 5 is better than bloodborne because it has sold a million more?
Candy crush is better than any ps4 and xbox game because it has sold more?
Justin beiber is the greatest singer ever because he sells more??
Lmfao do you know how ridiculous you guys sound with your sales stat's.

Xbox owned last year obviously everyone knows that and as much as I loved bloodborne, one good game just isn't going to cut it dude.

Plus Microsoft hAve released
Ori
State of decay
Fast and furious
Ki season 2

But hey they're Not games are they? Even though ori is the best game this year. Sales mean nothing and as I stated above I have spent over a thousand hours on the Xbox one because it has a tonne better games obviously why else would it be my main console.
And to all those guys who come here saying "oh aussie you never have owned a ps4 and you never will" here is a picture of it so enjoy :) Http://m.imgur.com/e7UqGQt

aceitman3274d ago

lol really ur comparing the 360 to ps4 , we are talking about x1 and ps4 , by the way ps3 outsold the 360 , bloodborne has outsold forza by now and u have ori that is on steam and sold the most on steam at half the price , state of decay pc game
fast and furious and ki season 2 is dlc, if dlc is a game then we can multiply ps4 games . and from ur comments u do nothing but troll ps4 . if u like xbox y u even bother buying a ps4 , oh because u don't own one , and that's all u had since halo mcc that does not point out to be the best console with games .

reko3274d ago

@Aussieleech

Lmao here we go again with his "I have a ps4" hahahahahhaha hahahahaha hahahahahhaha hahahahaha!!! Lol lol
You're still trying to convince people huh? LmAo!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂

ilikepizza3274d ago

btw the ps3 did not outsell the ps3. Not only did it not outsell the 360 it came in last place in the US and worldwide. If the xbox finished in last it w be acceptable,they were coming off a successful but no way near the ps2 success with the OG xbox,to destroy the ps3 in America and overall win worldwide on just yo second attempt is no small feat. The xbox one will be in first place in America by next holiday. Sony outsells it by 20 to 30k every month but come nov and dec xbox one outsells the ps4 by 500-700k,ou do the math.

anyways last gen went as follows

North America
1)xbox 360 (60 mill+)
2)wii
3)ps3 (40 mill+)

Worldwide
1)wii
2)xbox 360
3)ps3

that has been verified by plenty of news outlets but youd never se that on this site and it's probably why so many people run around saying the ps3 outsold the xbox 360 last gen.

buttcheeks3274d ago

Man times must be tough over at the xbox camp when the only games you can think of are a 2d indie platformer a 360 indie remaster and dlc.....ooohhh poor aussie a general of the xbone army surviving in the trenches with essentially only a Hershey bar ,a can of baked beans and a ten year old can of sardines until October.

SoapShoes3274d ago

What exactly did Xbox own last year? When you take the whole year into account it had squat. 3 exclusives in the holidays and one for the rest of the year. It had a 7 month gap between exclusives and the multiplatform games sold worse on it.

slappy5083274d ago

At the end of the day stating which console has the better games is subjective. The ps4 has continued to sell well into it's second year, and you can only sell on hype for so long, so it's doing something right.
Oh and here, you dropped one of your pom-poms

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
