Isn't that all anyone is getting on consoles anyway since its all multiplats?

I miss when gens were 5 years long and every year was packed with amazing releases.

When I was a kid there were always incredible new games coming out and I couldn't afford to play them all. Now I'm an adult and I can afford to buy any games I want but we get 1-2 decent games a year at most
>>
None of them. 8th gen was trash
>>
>>376911831
At least the Wii U had a few neat games, but ultimately I agree with you. This has been the worst gen I've ever seen, we're about 4-5 years in and one of the consoles has been replaced, and I can barely think of 10 great exclusives between all three consoles.

There is literally no way a new console generation will be released within the next five years. Announced, -maybe-, but the Xbox line is done and Nintendo is out of sync with the rest of the home console cycle. I don't know if Sony can even afford to develop a successor to the PS4. I wouldn't be surprised if there was no next generation at all, at least not from the existing console manufacturers.

Xbox lacks JRPGs and slice of life games. They have had only a token showing in Japan ever since they launched in 2001.

But yes, Sony unironically assfucked both Nintendo and Microsoft forcefully to the point where both of their anuses are still filled with blood and Kaz Hirai's semen.
>>
>>376912640
Microsoft spent millions in Japan getting Japanese games to come out on the 360, it only resulted in a tiny increase in sales. Whereas PS3 even during it's first year of "no gaems $599!" managed to outsell the 360 Worldwide purely to the sheer volume of PS3's sold in Japan.

Switch is a portable WiiU, PS4 Pro is a PS4 with updated display resolution support and Scorpio hasn't come out.

>>376911712
Come the fuck on, Apple is huge there. XBox isn't selling because it fails to appeal to JP market, and Microsoft lacks the groundwork with developers that Sony and Nintendo had. The way they treated Sega also soured lots of people on it.

Even when Microsoft spent millions bringing Japanese games to the console, the sales figures were still pathetic.
>>
>>376912969
PS4 Pro isn't really that significant increase in power, and given how many regular PS4s were sold, and are still selling, the devs can't just abandon the base system to exclusively make use of Pro's power. Hell, base PS4 is still in production, and has no sign of stopping.

>>
>>376910638
The PS4 was/is worse than the PS3.
There was never any reason to own an Xbox One.
The Wii U had games but it was still much less than what you'd expect.

Also. I almost can't believe that paid online became an industry standard. It's like a nightmare.
Worst generation in the history of videogames.

>>376913272
>No new console on the radar for the next 4 years minimum.
Meh I wouldn't be surprised to see the next consoles from Sony/Microsoft in 2019. 2020 at the very latest. If the Switch does exceptionally well and eats into PS4's sales I expect the 9th gen competition to appear sooner rather than later. 4 years though is definitely a pipedream.
>>
>>376913405
What did they manage to get released? Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and FFXIII? None of those were exactly critically acclaimed, so no wonder it didn't work.
Idolmaster was a fluke, and while it did manage to turn 360 into otaku machine for a while, the moment it got PS3 release and sold much better there, that stopped too.
>>
>>376913448
Should sales numbers matter to consumers?
You could argue that "more sales = more exclusives", but the opposite seems to be true
>>
>>376912376
Just put in into the game slot, gramps.
>>
>>376913094
If you combine all the Xbox One sales, Wii U Sales and Switch sales together, they still don't add up to the Sony sales.

So yes as much as the Sony hate force on 4chan will adamantly deny it till the end of time, Sony always wins. Sony is the Floyd Mayweather of video games. Everybody hates them, but they just keep winning and killing sales.

Sony raped Nintendo when the PS1 dropped.
Sony had the best selling home console of all time with PS2.
The only time Sony didn't win was when the Wii came out due to all the wagglin gimmicks that won over casuals.
Next gen, once again Sony is outselling other consoles 2 to 1.

I will never understand why 4chan can't accept that Sony has always been, since 1996, the most dominant company in the video game market. When you consider they also have the fastest and highest selling Virtual Reality device on the market as well as literally ALL the games it should come as a surprise to no one that PS4 is still the #1 console on the market.

Really the next gen is up to Sony to lose. There is no way for them to lose the stronghold they've built with PS4.

Once again Sony has created an environment where people don't even really know what an Xbox One/Scorpio or a Switch is but the word "PlayStation" is synonymous with "video games" to the average consumer.

I really can't think of much outside of Bloodborne and Uncharted 4, and neither of those are really all that new or exciting. I guess it just got Horizon too, but that kind of just seems like a generic Ubisoft style open world game

>>376913568
Paid online is definitely the worst development this gen, putting aside the declining creativity and quality of AAA games. I blame the normies and burgers who let the Xbox 360 succeed with that business model.

It's amazing the lack of value gaming represents nowadays. It's not quite to the point of cinemas where $10 gets you about 2 hours of entertainment, but it's getting there. The brazen insult of Sony and Nintendo charging for their online "service" despite their track records is just too much to bear.

I'm staying on last gen hardware as long as I possibly can. PC, 3DS, and my PS3 are serving my needs currently. But some day I will need to bite the bullet and shell out to these bastards, and that horrifies me.
>>
>>376914117
Oh so you went the route of ignoring them instead of calling them shit.
>>
>>376913628
Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, FFXIII, FFXI, Tales of Vesperia (Exclusive in the west), Idolm@ster, and the dozens of shmups that are exclusive to Japan.
>>
>>376913696
PS3 was the dark horse finisher of 7th gen. It got panned as dead on arrival early on, but had surprising staying power despite being outflanked by the Wii and 360 for the first 3 years. After 2009 it started outselling them both though, and has definitely been the slowest of the last gen consoles to die. It even got Persona 5 on it just last month.

come on man absolutely no one is convinced that Europe isn't a starving communist shithole overrun with third world immigrants.

Also this argument is fucking retarded. You can buy FIFA on an Xbox One. You can buy it on a PS3 or a Xbox 360 because that's how poor Europe is. You people make Africans look rich.

And yet despite that, even the starving, emaciated yuros would rather spend their money on a PS4. Go figure.

This is yet more of the typical denial on /v/ where people just can't accept that Sony, as always, dominates the market.

>>376914041
As someone who has not owned a Microsoft or Nintendo console in over 10 years, I'll try.

The Scorpio is really powerful.

I want to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the next Halo and uh.... yeah I have no idea what else is on Xbox besides shit that gets cancelled like Scalebound.

The Switch is portable, and has Zelda and uh... there's Mario and... some SMT game?

Yeah you were asking WAY too much asking me to name 5 exclusives. Who can even do that for these.

But yeah I could name you about 10 sony exclusives I bought or preordered just within 2017.

Honestly I will never understand people who don't own a playstation and claim to play video games. I have a PC that's more powerful than my PS4 Pro and I hardly ever get to use it because PC has no games.

yes because no one plays fighting games on pc except SFV. And the only reason people do that is because it has crossplay with PSN.

PSN is the platform where all the fighting games get played on.

>>376914857
>>376914903
Because you can't prove I'm wrong. Look at your reaction: outrage rather than reason. This is yet another reason why Microsoft and Nintendo continue to fail: even the fans on whom they rely upon for sustenance are weak.

No wonder Sony is still winning.

>>376914908
>FIFA is available on both Xbox One and PS4

>Yet despite this, everyone would rather buy a PS4 and play FIFA there

boy I boy I wonder if it could have anything to do with the entire continent realizing that not only does Sony have the best platform but also realizing that Sony has a shitload of other exclusives, all of which place it as a higher returning investment than an Xbox or a Wii U.

Sony dominates in Europe because the Europeans are smart (but poor)
Sony dominates in America because Americans are smart (they elected Trump!)
Sony dominates in Japan because Japanese are smart (at least that's what the IQ tests say)

4chan hates Sony because they're retarded.

It's really not that hard to figure out.

this was my home screen in march or something

games I've bought recently: ultimate marvel3 ps4, gravity rush 2, persona 5, nier automata (got it about one month before the PC version, Hong Kong Digital PSN), nioh, yakuza 0, last guardian, horizon.

and I've already preordered Guilty Gear Xrd revelator 2, Tekken 7, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, looking forward to God of War 4, Death Stranding, final fantasy vii, detroit, Spiderman, and Gran Turismo 7.

Everything there is like late 2016-2018. I didn't even count anything before Last Guardian, in which time PS4 was still the platform I was using more than anything else due to games like Bloodborne, uncharted, final fantasy (which sold EVERYTHING on PS4), last of us remastered etc.

I've owned every single video game console since the NES. Honestly I've never felt happier with any console than I feel with the PlayStation 4 Pro and I don't feel any need to buy Microsoft or Nintendo hardware anymore. I still have a PC that's more powerful but again, I rarely use it.

>>376915429
I live in the greatest nation on Earth, America. Also please, please, please just fucking try to prove me wrong.

Seriously you guys get SO fucking upset over people just explaining, in simple basic terms a 10 year old can understand, why Sony is the most dominant company in the market. And you talk so much shit but you guys are NEVER able to prove anything I or any other Sony fan says wrong.

Please try. You guys get so shittershocked it just amazes me. I can smell the blood coming out of your ass through my PC monitor. This shit is sad.

>>376915563
Yes it is. Despite being a paid platform, every fighting game always has shitloads of players on PSN. Whereas you can always find matches on PSN for something like Guilty Gear, you can never find shit on Steam except like one room that barely works with laggy Brazilians or some shit. It's awful, after trying to enjoy Xrd Revelator on Steam I just gave up and preordered the game on PS4.

I skipped this generation and bought a PC instead. Now I'm rolling with that sweet Switch + PC combo. Might buy a PS5 later on if they deliver on better exclusives though. This gen just sucked ass.

>gen is nearing its end
No. Anyways, I have a Wii U and PS4 and like both, but I prefer the PS4.

that delusion

>>376910638
>nearing the end

The PS4 isn't going anywhere anytime soon. No clue why fags think the PS5 is coming out soon? The PS4 is doing insanely well, why would Song rush out a new console while their current one is making a killing?


>b....because Nintendo and Microsoft launched new consoles this year

Maybe because they had to.
The PS4 slaughtered the Wiiu an and Xbone, so both companies cut their losses and made new consoles. Until the Switch and Scorpio both prove they are a legit threat to the PS4 (that means selling well for more than a few months) Sony has no reason to launch a new console.

Those are at least interesting exclusives and not yearly garbage releases by Activision and EA
>>
>>376916972
It's the same reason the PS2 was still getting games years after the PS3 was out. Both the PS3 and 360, by virtue of being on the market for so long, have a large install base so there's still money to be made by putting cut-down, low-effort installments of high-selling games on them.

>EU Football games taking up 60% of top 5, Shit of Doody and Jew V

The only "good" games were Jewshit if you ignore online, and Splatoon, though I don't really like Splatoon anyway.

>>376918598
Gen won't be over until they launch the PS5. And that isn't happening anytime soon. How can you claim the gen is over when all the companies haven't launched new consoles.


>PS4 pro
>PS4...pro
>PS4!
No clue how people think it's a next gen console with the same name. It's the Past with some 4k upscaling bullshit slapped onto it.
>>
>>376918262
Scorpio isn't a new console, though. It's a much higher-specced XBONE, much like the PS4 Pro. It is still a part of this gen.

For that reason, this gen won't be ending any time soon. The Pro, Switch, and Scorpio have extended it for another few years at least, though I'm not sure what generation the Switch exactly belongs to.
>>
>>376917470
Same. Never thought I could get by so long with just a PC and a 3DS. For a while there in 2015 I thought I might give in and buy a Wii U or PS4. Needless to say I'm glad I held out.

My PC is dying though and IDK whether to replace that first or get a Switch. I really want them to release a hardware revision for the Switch because the current one is not a handheld in any way.
>>
>Play on PC
>Generations are meaningless
>Just build/upgrade PC as needed
>Don't need to buy into marketing bullshit so some fat cats can sell me an overpriced, under-powered plastic which I can't play old games on and have to pay to play online

Being a console kiddie must be the fucking worst. The saddest thing is the way they suck off big corporations and then fight over which scam rips them off the least.
>>
>>376919107
>Switch has been replaced
>new Xbox coming out soon
>b-but the gen isn't even close to being over because Sony won't be done with the PS4 for a while!

2/3 being done is close enough for me to consider the gen "almost over"
>>
>>376919130
>It is still a part of this gen.
Thats what M$ wants you to think, but its essentially just going to be a fully backwards compatible new console. I'd bet everything I own that it won't be long until Scorpio starts getting exclusive games
>>
>>376919585
This. Consoles haven't been worth your money since before 2005. If money is no object you can maybe justify owning the latest nintendo or sony handheld for some exclusives, but apart from that PC has everything and is cheaper on net.

I only bought an Xbox this gen. I don't know if this gen was shit or if I'm just losing interest in games because even though there were so many games that came out I had no interest in them except for multiplayer ones with friends. Same goes for my pc. Fh3 is one of the highest rates games of this gen but I legit cba to play it over bf4 with friends.

It's more because you got an Xbox. Just shit, or no games. That's the reason why you think you loose interest.

Nintendo is the Japanese equivalent of FIFA, GTA, and COD, i.e casuals.

There isn't any game on any other platform which is remotely interesting to me. The only exclusive I was actually interested in was fh3 and it is still the only exclusive I've bought this gen. It's also by far the best exclusive of this gen unless you're a manchild weeb or have have no friends (I.e. if you bought a switch or ps4)

You can believe that if you want to, but you'd be a dummy.

I'd rather try splatoon than a new Uncharted tbqh senpai
>>
>>376918573
But its okay when Sony makes a popular game that pedos love right?
>>
>>376921482
Nobody cares what you rather try you manchild, not even nintendo want you to buy their games
>>
>>376921557
Let's not forget that this game was one of the worst """big""" games of last gen. I bought the special edition and played about 5 hours of it and ended up giving it to my neighbour because it's so fucking boring. They should have just made a movie instead.
>>
>>376912697
Because Civ 6 is so fucking bad
Even worse than Civ 5
>>
>>376921792
>They should have just made a movie instead.
You're in luck because a Last of Us movie is in production.
>>
>>376910638
This gen have had such few good games it legit still feels like the next gen consoles were just released and are still in their launch stages.
>>
>>376921446
Nah get a PS4, mate. It has all the best exclusives, like:
>Anime harem simulator. Press X to be the anime of your own favourite self-insert weebshit!
>Genderbent Tomb Raider
>Epic mature games for mature gamers like myself movies with no gameplay because that's for infants. Movies are for adults.

Is that why they've only shown 20-30 year old people in their advertising rather than children with the switch?

Its a damn shame I won't be able to confirm this for another 4 years because I'm not spending fucking $90 on a new Civ game

Wew lad.
>>
>>376923083
One is a family friendly game about squid people shooting each other with paint

The other has DLC where two kids fall in love in a lesbian relationship
>>
>>376910638
They were all shit, but the ps4 probably came out on top. Overall this generation was pretty bad on console.

But what do you mean by nearing it's end?
>>
>>376911105
We're probably just going to get a more powerful revision of the current consoles every few years
>>
>>376924851
>But what do you mean by nearing it's end?
Wii U already hit the 5 year mark and was replaced and Scorpio is on the horizon. I'm sure Sony and M$ will try to stretch the gen out to 8 years again, but generally speaking we're in the last stretch of the gen right now
>>
>>376921415
Barely 4 years with a massive drought for the last 2 years of the console is now 6 years. The Wii U barely had support in 2015 and 2016. But somehow the console being dead forgot half of its 4 year life span is now a fully supported console of 6 years. This is the average state of a Nintendo dick rider. This type of scum is the one who camped for the Wii U 2.0.
>>
>>376925301
>Wii u hit the 5 year mark
Try 4. We still have a ways off before ninth gen begins.
>>
>>376925517
How old is the 3DS by the way? Over 6 years? Any minute now we hear the successor, right?

In fairness, we have the switch. Nintendo are just pretending it's a console as a get out of shame card for existing the console space.
>>
>>376921039
The Switch is a new generation system.
If anything you're just highlighting why it doesn't make perfect sense trying to apply a generation across console manufacturers.
