How many people picked up a PS4? When did SE say they were putting out FF14 ARR on the PS4?

Next year I think? For some reason I have Jan/Feb in my mind, but for the life of me I can't remember how accurate that is.

My entire reason I did not buy one, as of yet. The Super Hero Lego game looks fun, but Destiny and 1886: London doesn't even come out til like next year? There is nothing else in the near future that I know about that has me going "Oh ****! I really need a ps4!" Kind of a weak launch imo (even indie games, not much I have not already played or care to).

I think the primary cause of the recent weak launches is that console dominance of gaming is truly on the wane. People are still buying the consoles, for sure, but with the Steam boxes on the horizon, and all of the various anxiety of where gaming is headed is leading developers to sit out the release section, and wait to see who and how many adopt what platform before they go balls deep in developing a host of exclusives. Sure, you'll get the multi-platform games, but none of them will "make you want" X system over Y system.

I downloaded a couple games, one where you're a ninja suit of armor, and another RTS, for free from the playstation network on top of the 4 I had after taking advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free from Target, and those will keep me well occupied for months. There's quite a bit more available than what you can get at the store in a blue box. It isn't a ton though, so if you're dabbling, you're gonna be disappointed.

Selection is always limited at launch. I've got PS4 and will be picking up my Xbone in a few days as well. What I want to know is... how am I supposed to feed my kid given that I've spent his yearly allowance for food on consoles? Smiley: sly

Put him in front of the console(s), get him addicted to videogames, he'll forget all about nourishment.

If I let him play games, who will assemble the toys coated with lead paint?

I'll get mine in Feb as well and likely jump on beta. I'm still a bit scared because I hear that some are arriving DOA, or die after a few hours of play. The usual suspects with new consoles. Thats why I wait a bit before I buy.

Well, the govt. does give you $1000 a year for your first kid, and $500 for each additional kid, so I'd say that pretty much covers it.

.4% of them sold so far, or 4000. Out of a million. Odds are good for you, my son. Smiley: smile

I got my PS4 on Friday. I've been playing a lot of NBA2K14.

I need to carve out some time for FFXIV... :/

I was getting a bit burnt out on WP/AK running though. So its a nice break.

You might want to check that its not part of the 1%..I got it Friday and have only played Madden on it a couple times..FF14 has consumed free time..in a good way though..

The title of that article and how misleading it is has been revised to 100% failure rate Smiley: sly

We also understand that some units were reportedly damaged during shipping. The number of affected PS4 systems is less than 1 percent, which represents a very small percentage of total units shipped to date and is within the expected range for a new product introduction.


Doesn't reflect people having the BBoD issue. The 1% only refers to units damaged during shipping.

I wonder how much more informed people would be were it possible for the majority of them to carry an idea through an entire paragraph, rather than just half a sentence....

Is that the popular opinion now? I'm wondering if people who share that sentiment want that to happen for their own personal reasons. Like PC gamers wanting consoles to die so they don't have to buy them for games like Final Fantasy, The last of us, Uncharted, or what ever console exclusives that don't make it to PC. PS4 having one of the largest launch sales in history shows that console dominance is on the wane? Both the Xbox and the Playstation dominated launch sales of their previous consoles. So I ask again, where does the the idea that consoles are dying come from? I'm sure I'm missing something, but the console and the PC experience are different worlds and it seems like people are still very interested in the former. I'd have accepted the reasoning behind consoles dying due to large development costs as a better reason that lackluster launch titles.

I'd say weak launches have to do with companies putting out their hard work at the end of a console cycle for the obvious reasons as there more console owners on the last gen. They use a smaller budget on launch titles because they're aware that not many people will have them early on. It's probably why games seem to increase in quality as time passes, because they they place more production value in the creation. (Though the popular opinion is that the devs got more familiar with the tech so they learn better ways to program. It's partly the reason but, I call BS on that being the main reason.) GTA V could have been in development for the xbox one and ps4 this whole time and we'd have seen one great launch title. However, they released on the old system for more sales. Can't hold that against them. So check this out, if more people bought launch consoles, would we then have better launch titles? Just something I pondered after reading some threads. A lot of the times, we usually ***** ourselves over with silly ideologies.

It's just amusing watching people justify over and over their reasons for not getting a new console. AMG the horrible 1% fail rate on both of them. Nothing good out yet, etc. No one is thinking any less of them for it. They'll get one soon as their favorite title drops.

I played my ps2 heavily through the first 3 years of the ps3. Hell I started God of War in like 2009 (that made me very excited for GOW III and now I'm a huge fan) and was still catching up on ps2 titles I hadn't gotten around to playing. When I got a ps3 for FFXIII I had to play catch up with games like Uncharted, Infamous, and my beloved MGS4, which I didn't think warranted my 500-600 dollars yet. Now that I've experienced Infamous' great story, I have my ps4 ready for when It launches in the spring along side Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeros. The 200 dollar less price tag made it a no brainer for me this time. Not to mention I'm in a better place in my life compared to when the ps3 launched. I'm sure I'm not the only one, as shown by the great launch sales of both consoles. As gamers mature, so does our spending power. This gen seems to be on point for both systems. I hope to see great things from them.

I don't think I'd call these launches weak at all. If you even considered purchasing a console, it probably crossed your mind that we're days away from doom now. A month from merry. Microsoft and Sony have all their little elves slaving away to make sure the jolly one will have enough to go around. I'd put off any conclusion about sales until the tree starts to brown. Take a step back, look at where we are in the cycle and what is on the horizon for releases... nod slowly.

The majority of the moolah is spent on marketing. They don't spend loads developing games immediately because they don't have to. It's cheaper to port a handful of titles from the previous gen. That's the reason you see EA and 2K flooding the shelves. I don't think people make the distinction between console launch and game launch and it leads to the unwarranted panic.

Yep they both sold out. they both did about a million... In about two years we need to see where they are..

The broken ps3 do worry me and it looks like MS has issues too.. I had the 360 and went through like 4 of them.. The failure rate was like 34 percent of launch several weeks or months later which was bad. Might be a few percent now but lets see what it is in a few weeks. Also looking at all the Amazon reviews of all the dead ps4 does not mean much since anyone with a account can post... I am sure allot of those people are xbox fan boys trying to fan the flames. It will also happen to the xbox one.
