Why the Xbox One is losing to the PS4, according to the guy who made Xbox matter

What happened with the Xbox One?

The console's on surer footing now, no doubt, but between its announcement in May 2013, its launch in November 2013, and the six months following said launch, it was dogged by bad press and angry consumers.

Here are some highlights of that terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for Microsoft's Xbox division.

[FallenAngel1984]

PlayStation consoles will always sell more than Xbox console because its a bigger, more diverse brand that performs incredibly well in every major region.

Nuff said.

[Concertoine]

MS left last gen with almost 50% of the marketshare sony once had with the ps2. No one is king forever.

Ultimately the PS3 overtook the 360, but MS was making massive strides, they were in a position to win over even more customers with the downfall of Nintendo, but they screwed it up and are only recently back on track.

This gen Sony made all the right moves while MS didn't, that is definitely true.

[crazychris4124]

Xbox One was one of the worst reveals Ive ever seen but they have done a great job of turning it around. Cant wait to get my Forza bundle next month.

[Thatguy-310]

But look at the hurdles that the ps3 entered the gen with. The fact that it was able to stay competitive and eventually surpassed Microsoft goes to show how strong the brand is in the gaming industry. To top it off Sony didn't slash the price or any of the crazy things microsoft is doing the following yr it released to stay competitive. They stuck with what they introduced and rode on that. Ps4 hit all the right marks and look at how successful is has become.

[Haru]

because 360 relased a year earlier that PS3 and because xbox cost only half the price of a ps3 which was super expensive at the time yet PS3 still won in the end, if Sony choose to relase PS3 a year earlier at the same time with xbox 360 Microsoft wouldn't have gained so much ground even with PS3 costing nearly 2 times as much it was just pure luck

[Concertoine]

@dboy

The strength of the brand was only part of the equation, its silly to put the ps3's success on that alone. It was because to many sony was offering a better console as the years went by. More exclusives, free online, etc.

@Haru

There are conditions to the 360's success, of course. There are conditions to everything. The ps1 came out a year, sometimes two years earlier than the n64 in some regions and their dominance in the 5th gen helped lead to their dominance in the 6th.

[beans]

MS was simply to arrogant at launch and unwilling to explain there plans clearly. Sony not ready for what MS was going to announce just fell into its position by design. "Greatness Awaits" I mean on paper the most powerful console ever known to man kind with every devloper just about on board with a bunch of fans and game stores talking it up as the next big thing.

X1 fans couldn't say anything because MS put themselves in that position. Personally i had been fed up with them since Peter Moore left but hung in there because Playstation just never appealed to me. MS brought on Phil and everything changed like overnight for me.
Finally quality games one after another and the 1st demo Of CD3 completely changing my perspective of this generation. The truth is I want Sony to win because right now MS is doing things I really appreciate. W10 and X1 have a strong future and those not hopping on board may one day understand where the fun is at and join in.

Sony is simply the must have console right now just like wii last generation.

[DialgaMarine]

MS never had 50% marketshare last gen. Not even close. At the beginning, when PS3 and Wii launched, it might have for a little while, but that's because it had a year's headstart. After the first 6 months of Wii's beating sales, it quickly lost that. The only console that came close to 50% throughout the entirety of the gen was Wii, but it never actually did it. All 3 were fairly close in WW by the end of last gen.

[donthate]

dboyc310:

The reason why the PS3 survived that massacre, was because of the outlaying regions (like Europe) plus Japan over a long period of time and the rather at the time innovative offer of free games with PS+.

What MS started with this generation though, was just far more devastating to MS than it ever was for Sony. I mean the message that was being passed around wasn't just that the Xbox One was expensive, it was the FUD about the DRM being spread.

MS is still hurting until this day for that, but the remarkable turn around is far more amazing in my opinion than Sony's reaction to the bad sales of PS3.

MS has been amazingly resilient, and they keep leaping ahead of the competition in basically all areas.

If they continue like this, I think customers will have no choice but to come.

[Spotie]

You don't know what market share is, apparently, since you're trying to equate them to raw numbers. That doesn't work, because the market isn't the same size.

You also can't just attribute the PS3 not doing PS2 numbers solely to the 360. Frankly speaking, if anything took away from Sony's control of the console market, it was the Wii. Even then, it's not as if market share caries over directly from one generation to the next, so you're still wrong.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

overtook the 360 not that much though.
With the help of 10m Japan users PS3 was able to edge it out with the X360 only having 1.5m users.

[Concertoine]

@Spotie

But wasn't the Wii a bunch of grandmas and casuals? What were they doing coming from the ps2? And if they liked the ps2, a core console, why would they stick with a wii for 7 years until the ps4 came out and not buy a 360 or ps3 in the meantime.

Before you say it wasn't all casuals, this gen is selling 11 million units slower than the 7th gen even though the Xbone and Ps4 are selling a combined 13 million faster than their predecessors BECAUSE the Wii U failed to recapture casuals.

The ps3 didn't lose the UK to the Wii, it lost it to the 360 and the Wii. It didn't lose the US to the Wii, but the 360 and the Wii.

Fact of the matter is, MS sold nearly 4 TIMES as many 360's as OG Xbox's. They were making progress. The Xbone ruined that progress. In a perfect world they wouldn't have botched the launch, and who knows what this gen would look like

[Kribwalker]

I would like someone to show me definitive stats that the PS3 has sold more then the 360. Because the last numbers either company has released suggest the 360 sold more consoles then the PS3

360 announced 84million at E3 2014. Sony announced 100million vita PS3 ps4 sold in August 2014 when the PS4 was over 10 million. We know the vita had sold at least 7 million. Which puts PS3 at 83 last August

"MS left last gen with almost 50% of the marketshare sony once had with the ps2. No one is king forever"

This is completely, no where near even remotely true. I do not even know how this myth continues to be respawn over and over.

Look while Microsoft grew its install base with the Xbox platform, it did not steal 50% market share from Sony.

How do we know what I am sayingvis true..well its very simple..Math!

This cannot be stated anymore blunt than this.

Does Microsoft add in xbox one and xbox360 shipment numbers? Today to give its Sales Quarters numbers of units shipped per Sales Quarter?

The answers is yes!

Thus last generation Microsoft only had the xbox360 a single console. Going by the fact Microsoft even today adds in xbox one + xbox360 shipment numbers.

There is no way Microsoft took 50% of Sony's market share because they only had one system!

Just the xbox 360! Uno, single, one, just by itself..you get the picture?

Last generation cycle, Sony had still in retail channels

PS2
PSP
PS3

Combined total sales there is no way Microsoft could have taken anywhere near 50% of Sony's market share from Sony let alone what Nintendo has!

So no, while many may say well it was just Xbox vs ps3 than and if you just narrow it down to the north american market, and the UK, than sure if you exclude the other PlayStation systems being sold also aside from the ps3 than you could use that as avmetric, but its a very narrow veiw of Market share and not the true market share % value.

[Revolver_X_]

"The 360 won last gen and continues to sell"

@343

It's funny how you want to say the 360 won last year, and seemingly cite your stance based on sales of hardware. I guess the 100+ million Wii's don't count? If you wanna go by sales, neither MS or Sony won. Deal with it.

[beans]

I remember (I think it was)Jack Trenton announcing 13 million move controllers when in fact it wasn't even half of that. As matter a fact he announced that figure when kinect had just hit 13 million. Later it was revealed they sold maybe million which to this day I hardly believe in that time frame or at all. Move wasnt even talked about or market3d much during this time period. Sony lies and I don't know how but they do. It's good they are doing well but this lie nobody questioned on tv has always made me wonder how far they would go to claim victory.

Edit: how can you guys disagree with what I witnessed. A link would be nice but I have no reason to lie. Sony lied not me!

[Me-Time]

The original Xbox made massive strides. It did compete against the PS2, maybe even surpassed it. The 360 was great, but M$ wasn't.

Now, things are turning around, but I'm better as **** about their initial policies. I've always been a fan of PS, but Xbox and Spencer are turning things around (amazingly). Stillllll, PS until the day I die (which will be soon).

After that, PS will still be the place to live. BAMM!

[King-u-mad]

@343
http://prntscr.com/87437h

You can always post your data if you like. Everyone knows the ps3 has been and continues to sell more than the xbox 360. It's kind of hard to surpass someone if you aren't moving faster than them.

http://prntscr.com/8744f1

[Brotard]

This should put the power of playstation into perspective, it released a whole year after 360 and online was bricked for months, and it still in the end managed to out sell 360 even though 360 was beloved!

[miyamoto]

"Unfortunately, for the team, there was a lot going on at Microsoft at the time organizationally. They were getting ready to split up the Xbox group. Don Mattrick left right before the product launched. There was a lot of really difficult dynamics, that did not help decision making.

Bach emphasizes that the team launching the Xbox One "was not the Xbox 360 team," and "naturally, they're going to approach things in a different way." In so many words, any established standards set by Bach and the team that launched the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 were largely wiped away after Bach's departure from Microsoft in 2010."

... and many Xbox fans here put all the blame on poor Don M - the guy who made the 360 popular and stuck with his baby until the end-
"fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called Xbox 360."

* tsk tsk tsk
some people are just so ungrateful

[BG11579]

Half? Wait, to who did belong the other half, Nintendo's Wii? Neither Sony or MS had half the market.

They were on pair on sales until the end, yet, Sony's console did got released one year later and also had a very slow start. The 360 was less expensive, had better multiplateform gaming...

Still they only managed to do a little less then PS3 and ended up

[TheCommentator]

Why was there ever any confusion over used games? It always played used games. Read the article, the author even contradicts himself when listing "no used games" as a problem. The reality is that media perception was the problem.

It was required that the disc was in for authentication, just like systems do now, or it would give you an option to buy the digital copy if it wasn't in the machine. There was also going to be an option for developers, at their discretion, to charge a fee to someone re-using a disc. MS stated that as a publisher they had no intention of using this feature but it was there for publishers who don't agree with used sales of thier games to use at their discretion.

It's sad, because it did still help to ruin XB1's image even though it was false.

[Wh15ky]

@donthate

"What MS started with this generation though, was just far more devastating to MS than it ever was for Sony."

What makes you think that?
The sales stats suggest that Sonys arrogance at the PS3 reveals, the delays and high launch prices were far more "devastating" to them than "what ms started with this gen".

"MS is still hurting until this day for that, but the remarkable turn around is far more amazing in my opinion than Sony's reaction to the bad sales of PS3."

What has been "remarkable" about this "turn around"? They've just removed everything that caused the bad start. It's not rocket science.

[FallenAngel1984]

You are mistaken good sir. Microsoft left last gen with 31.2% of the market, Sony left with 31.6% and Nintendo left with 37.2% of the market. Nobody left with 50% in the 7th gen, especially not the Xbox 360 which was the slowest selling 7th gen console even though it had a whole year headstart.

X1 was never in a position to outsell PS4. Microsoft's brand doesn't have the global appeal that Sony's brand does. Xbox One is still Microsoft's fastest selling console and yet its only selling on par with PlayStation 3, Sony's slowest selling console. That just goes to show people have higher expectations for the PlayStation brand than the Xbox brand.

[Concertoine]

You missed what i was saying. MS stole half the ps2's marketshare from the 6th gen. Which was basically a consistent 75%, excluding the dreamcast.

Also your statistic about xbone selling slower than the ps3 is wrong. The ps3 sold 5,552,074 in its first year while the xbox one is harder to approximate. MS states shipped numbers, and 5 million were shipped as of april while amother 3.5 were stated as shipped in the Q4 report. It is safe to say it sold more than 500k of that 3.5 million.

We can talk hypothetics all day, but if the Xbox one didnt sacrifice power for an add on that it would ditch a year later and didn't put off gamers with an unfavorable premise, things would definitely look different, would they not?

Im not saying MS would've outright won, but they were making swift progress before the Xbone ruined it all.

[joeorc]

@Concertoine + 1h ago
"You missed what i was saying. MS stole half the ps2's marketshare from the 6th gen. Which was basically a consistent 75%, excluding the dreamcast."

And again no...it did not!
The 1st Xbox sold life time how much?
25 million LTD.

If Microsoft now with the xbox 360 grew to a let's say 86 to 87 million LTD - 25 million from the first Xbox orig. That means they grew the install base from 61 million to 62 million to right now!

Which is quite a growth..but here is what you are missing, when sales numbers of total life time unit sold ends for the Xbox 360 would it have reached over 100+ million?

We do not know yet, but with the Xbox one having BC, the xbox360 game sales at most likely continue but systems sold may not go high because xbox360 is selling no where near it needs to sustain a climbing metric now in sales quarter growth. Selling another 15 to 20 million more now is pretty unlikely if Microsoft cannot keep it in supply chains further in retail if consumer interest is just not there.

Sony's PS3 still has a much stronger index world wide support cycle still left, 1 mainly because cost for the system has yet to reachbitd lowest price bottom index still further price cuts can in effect be done to further sales indexing. For xbox360 not so much price reduction's are left for the xbox360 without making it a further loss leader.

The ps3 for 2nd and 3rd tier market regions for priced reduced markets, and also with support cycle still in retail chains for the PS3 sony will continue to offer the PS3 as a 2nd choice console in for PlayStation as because unlike the xbox360. Sony's ps3 still further price reduction has not bottomed out yet.

Xbox360's while is pretty much as low as you can go without loss in retail cash revenue due to costs in shipping and manufacturing still being as low already as is..you could go lower but in effect return on sale would in effect be a loss leader.

Again with playstation Vue being also on the PS3.. Over the internet cable streaming makes the PS3 a further option to maintain the unit in retail further, while Microsoft is making less and less reason for the xbox 360 to be a viable option than just choosing the Xbox one, which is good but bad for sustainable xbox360 growth.

[FallenAngel1984]

@ Con

Xbox One has sold 13 million units so far 1.5 years into ifs lifespan. PlayStatjon 3 also sold 13 million around the same 1.5 year timespan. Considering X1 had knd of the biggest launches, you can see that its sales dramatically dropped afterwards whereas PS3's sales just rose. That's why they are both now selling at the same rate.

Blaming everything on initial premise is ridiculous. PS3 also had a controversial E3, but it continued to outsell 360 since day one. X1 never had a chance to outsell PS4, that's a fact. The only region Xbox is competitive in is North America, and its currently doing the best the brand has ever done in that region. Yet its best is still behind PlayStation.

They are still making progress. Anybody who thinks that the fastest selling Xbox console isn't making progress is insane. Its just that Microsoft's best can only match up with Sony's worst. That just goes to show the strength of each respective brand.

[WowSoChill]

That's a pretty ignorant statement to make, last gen Playstation went from selling 150+ Million units with PS2 down to just 80+ Million with PS3 in the span of one generation, Xbox did great last gen but this gen the dropped the ball, the tech industry is fast moving and anything can happen to either brand

What i'm saying is the Console market is a fickle business and anything can happen, just look at Nintendo

[MrBeatdown]

And all it took was for Sony to launch a year later with a platform that cost $200 more.

And even then, Sony still beat out Microsoft.

If Sony's worst performance yields results that are better than Microsoft's at their best, maybe he's got a point.

[WowSoChill]

Who won is not the point, the point is that anything can happen even Sony knows that i'm sure, to argue other wise and to think Playstation will sell forever just because its Playstation is ignorant

[MrBeatdown]

Anything can happen. But why is that your point?

Hypothetically, Apple can be bought out by Ouya and topple Sony and Microsoft. Anything is possible given the right series of events.

But in terms of what will realistically happen, there's nothing to suggest there will be a major shake up that will change the way things are going.

Sony is three for three after 20 or so years, and it's looking like they're going to be four for four. What could Microsoft possibly do at this point, when Sony's systems are selling twice as fast as Microsoft's fastest selling console?

[King-u-mad]

@FallenAngel

I can say that currently their most recent console will indefinitely sell better than the Xbox One so long as sony doesn't "go dumb" like microsoft in the past with their xbox360 and initial xboxone plan. I cannot agree that they will always sell more. That is poor wording. Especially since Phil Spence is really doing a good job with the Xbox One. We have to give respect where respect is due. Who knows next gen microsoft may make one hell of a console in comparison to sony. The original xbox was better than the ps2 but due to it's release date it wasn't received well. Grant it I personally doubt that will happen, but we don't know the future so we just have to let it ride lol.

[DevilOgreFish]

I just want the games.

[DEEBO]

No yr jump,weaker hardware,bad E3,Trying to pull that 24hr no use games and trying to go against the king of consoles PlayStation computer entertainment system.

They are making big strides but it's not like sony is going to let off the gas and the gap is still growing.

[Bathyj]

Does it really matter whose "losing"?

The guy that goes second in a threesome with Jessica Alba, still got to sleep with Jessica Alba. I'm not upset, it was a great night.

[PistolsAtDawn]

X1 is only loosing in sales, NOTHING else.

It's my opinion that you should get every console every gen...if you can afford it that is. IMO the X1 is the best rounded console, and if you don't get one, it's only your loss. No hate at all for the other consoles, I have my fun with those too, but X1 is the one this gen I'd want least to go without. Anyone pretending that PS4 is a massive powerhouse of a console and X1 is extrememly weak needs a wake up call and stop relying on paper specs to form a real world opinion. As we have seen ALL GEN, there has NEVER EVER been a major difference in the final product between X1 and PS4 (99% of the time you wouldn't notice in a blind test)...so pointing to the power difference of the consoles is pointless....and it's DEFINITELY not a good enough reason to miss out on great games just cause they bear the Xbox logo.

If you pick a side this gen due to fanboy reasoning and refuse to see the great games on the other side...it's only your loss.

[sactownlawyer916]

You can say xbox is best for you and that is fine, however the majority prefer PlayStation and that isn't going to change no matter how many post you put on here saying xbox is better.

@ pistols I have both too and vastly prefer PlayStation. What's your next made up stats?

[PistolsAtDawn]

*correction, More people HAVE a PS4, not necessarily prefer one. Those that don't have an X1 can't give a true valid opinion which is "better" and based on games attach ratios/number of hours played...those that have both prefer an X1.

Edit: Please tell me you aren't really a lawyer. ..and apparently to you it's NOT fine that I prefer X1, it clearly bothers you because everytime I say it you try to prove me wrong...and fail

[StrayaKNT]

That's your opinion. Me and him actually own both consoles and prefer the Xbox so I guess the majority of those who own both consoles will think the same.

[Speak_da_Truth]

Show me what statistics or anything that shows people who have both prefer the xb1. I'm curious to see it for myself. A couple of xbox fanboys who claim to have both on N4G really doesn't do it.

[TheColbertinator]

Glad the Kinect is gone. Hated that motion gimmick on Xbox

[Lukejrl]

I think they wanted the always online check and the kinect to make more money selling customer data. When people didn't like it they had to backtrack. But it would be a huge source of income to track buzzwords being used in the living room. The more I think of it the more this makes sense; Don Mattrick was the kinda of guy who saw where to make a buck, and he didn't care how he did it.

[Cohagen420]

It had better working features (Party chat, screenshots, Twitch, faster OS), didn't include a power brick and batteries and has the higher rated games as usual. Its pretty self explanatory but lets keep approving these articles and have the exact same conversation again and again..

[StormSailor]

"Xbox lost five to seven billion dollars during its four-year life," Bach writes in "Xbox Revisited."

God dammit! lol

[Trekster_Gamer]

I could care less how many more PS4's sell, I am enjoying the games for my XB1! This Holiday sales won't matter XB1 has the best line up of games. This trend also continues 2016 and beyond.

[Eiyuuou]

You forgot to add "imo" or "for my personal taste". ^^

[Ionlybuynamebrand]

No didn't you know xbox fans preferences supercede those of any other people /s

[DragonDDark]

When the 360 was in the lead every XB fanboy was saying "SALES SALES SALES" lol

[muzikjunkie80]

could say the same when bk in the ps2 days when the xbox was 3x more powerful and all ps fans were shouting its all about the GAMES GAMES GAMES... your point is?

[Eiyuuou]

Geez, the bigger the gap between Xbox and PS becomes, the more articles like this pop up...

[0to100]

they were morons like most if it not ALL in the gaming industry, they don't know what gamers want, maybe because they didn't ask what gamers want, dumb community managers. the cheapest console sells & so does cod every year.

the social media (hint to the community manager, they are the community) have already pissed on xbone & its too late

[Lucreto]

Another big factor is Europe. The main reason the PS3 caught up was Europe and the reason the PS4 is so far ahead.

If the PS3 and 360 launched at the same time not 18 months apart in Europe the numbers would be a lot closer.

If the Xbox One had a perfect launch I think the PS4 will still be winning but by a lot narrower margin.

It also didn't help being called a Tier 2 country.

[Speak_da_Truth]

After seeing QB and Scalebound at gamescom I think I've made up my mind to pick up an xb1 but I'll wait for the deals MS has this holiday. I've never own an xbox console. It's been Sony and Nintendo for me. This will be my first xbox.

[DragonDDark]

Why so early? QB/Scalebound aren't coming this holiday..

[Speak_da_Truth]

Because MS will certainly have some sweet deals this Holiday.

[DragonDDark]

Oh.

[Kingoftherodeo]

i think had they had two buddles at launch 400 kinectless and 500 it would have sold better. i never understood why everyone cried about always online i mean your cellphone is always online. unless you live in a 3rd world country i can see why this would affect you but even then if you couldn't afford reliable internet why buy new gen console

[joeorc]

Again what has really hurt Microsoft's main problematic growth of the Xbox as a platform is not its ability as a console..which is fantastic as platforms go..its Microsoft's attempts to turn the game console market into another PC market!

That is what has , and always will hurt them in the consumer's electronics market, because they are not trying to grow this market they are trying to use the PC market arm in order for absorption of the very core reason for the console market to even exist!

Its about keeping a monopoly where the main OS and Api is locking the consumer into one and only one OS powering your system and one and only one graphics Api is the default Graphics Api that has to be used for games development!

The main point is they are a company and its expected to try to corner a market. But this very same company that has already did this with one market wants to do the same to a market that was made in the first place to separate itself from the PC market Monopoly that a single company already has locked in for computer entertainment.

Where no other OS or graphics Api has a chance to really be able to compete. So this very same company wants to turn the game console market into a clone of the PC market?

And you do not think people would have a problem with that?

Microsoft's problem is what its always been Anticompetitive Market control, they did it to the PC market, and now they want to do the same to the game console market.

People may say let consumers decide, and they are right..but looking at the past with media center PC's not becoming the standard, and in the game console market both Nintendo and Sony still in Microsoft's way..its looking like people are and have said no to the PC cloned market.

That Microsoft wants the console market to be , not what it is!

[gamer7804]

i didn't read the article because the picture they selected for it shows exactly where everything went wrong in xbox one's marketing strategy.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

@King-you-mad

Man timeout with the BS Microsoft Paint sales charts. Where is your official source? Funny how Sony never said anything about selling 85 million.

November 2013: http://us.playstation.com/c...

June 2014: http://www.gamespot.com/art...

So you trying to tell me in less than 7 months the PS3 had sold 4 million. Okay.

[Wickerman1972]

I don't agree that the console launching at $500 was as big a problem as many people say it was. It was the combination of it being $500 and technically weaker than the $400 alternative that was lethal. I believe a $500 X1 could have launched hugely successfully if it didn't come with Kinect but with beefy hardware instead, say GPU capabilities in the 2.5 tflops range (For comparisons sake the X1 we got is 1.3 tflops and PS4 is 1.8) and 12 CPU cores instead of 8. Obviously changes like that would also mean having to go with a different memory architecture than DDR3.

[Picnic]

Xbox 360 got such a huge lead partly because the brand had accrued some loyalty , particularly in America, thanks to the powerhouse and arcade perfect nature of the original Xbox and possibly because of some of its wacky irreverence including guilty pleasures such as Dead or alive volleyball. The Xbox 360 was easily the most powerful console and the only HD console until the PS3 came out and even then multiformats were not as easy to make well on the Cell and Sony were not so directly personal in their relation to fans. Once Uncharted 2 got huge scores, and the PS3 became slimmer, and multiformats were just as good or better on PS3, and the price was lower ,Sony turned the tide and have sailed it ever since on having best tech and on being more or less cinematic gamesmakers who don't cancel quite so many games and don't flip flop so much on their aim.

What perhaps needs to be understood but that Microsoft wont say is that if coming 1st in console sales would mean giving free online for a few years like Sony then Microsoft would rather come 2nd. The Xbox has a great lineup of games, sometimes pitched at a slightly more hardcore gamer, but Xbox owners earned them through all those Xbox Live fees for so many years .

[IAmTheBest35]

Playstation will always sell more than xbox because Sony is the king of the gaming industry, always has been and always will be. No other company in the world has as diverse of a lineup in every major region, listening to customers and delivering them exactly what they want. Sony has their finger directly on the pulse and understands this market better than anyone in the history of the world ever has. Sony are truly Gods among us. We are not even worthy of these fantastic products they have bestowed upon us. It is only by their grace and their grace alone that we have the fortune of playing Playstation consoles. It is only by their mercy on the human race that we are able to experience true gaming bliss.
The king has rightfully taken back its throne. The PS4 is the fastest selling console in the history of the world and it has the most diverse lineup of first party and third party content. Only on PS4 can you get exclusive deals and backstage passes. Long live the kings of the gaming industry.
