And most of them will probably sell better than SO and FH2, so they won't be bad filler
This is a good point.

In Japan. no one is buying vitas anywhere else, JRPGs or no. And even on vita, there aren't any high profile titles on P5's level. the last one was what, FFX remaster?

Pretty much. But I guess the truth doesn't make for a good story.
Top tier games: Uncharted/GoW/GT
Mid-Tier: Infamous, Killzone, Drive Club, Motorstorm
Filler: Everything.
That's the kind of hierarchy I've seen people employ when ranking Sony games.
That's a good point.
Vita is non-existent outside of Japan.
Larger install base maybe?

Xbox won December 2013. Almost a full year though in a market they dominated last gen.

2015/2016 according to Kaz. They don't seem to be willing to commit to any hard dates for the series after what happened with GT6. Hopefully we'll hear something about it at the PS Experience.
When PS Australia announced the PS4 sales they mentioned that Until Dawn was an early 2015 title. So Sony will have that Bloodborne, MLB, and The Order during that period. Ratchet is also due in the first half of 2015. Then you have whatever unannounced titles and indie games that'll help fill out the rest of the lineup.
Outside of The Order, Bloodborne, R&C Remastered, and UC4, everything else IMO is a tier below.
EDIT: I could argue Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and maybe WILD, but that's it for me.

According to Shinobi, Sony isn't going to reveal the game until E3 2015, so you probably shouldn't expect anything related to this game to be announced in December event.

Ah well just need to make do with Witcher 3 then and hope Fable turns out better than it looks.

Large install base doesn't guarantee sales. Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 were the poster children for niche titles that the general gaming community didn't care about despite gaming media and forums gushing about them. Same for Bayonetta 2.

I have doubts those things are decided in November and earlier. Personally, I believe we won't be seeing it till even after E3.

I don't know about this. From the Gamescom demo the game looked highly unpolished; some of the animations were so unfinished that it "moved" like a PS1 game. I'm expecting a delay.
Yeah I imagine we will get a release date next month.

They had a tough transition at their WWS even canning a game 3+ years in development at Santa Monica that no doubt left a void. 2015 will be where they reaffirm how great their studios are.
MS has done a great job this holiday season of shaping the narrative that PS4 has no games and Xbone has an abundance of games. I will be interested to see how it gets covered in the media when that is flipped around in 2015. Right now it is very much a near sighted look at the market that is happening.

Pretty much, I bet many PS4 games delaying because of high standard reviewers on PS4 system. If keep going on with low scores, it will destroy Sony's reputation.
The Order being delayed royally fucked the holiday line up for Sony, probably that cancelled SSM game as well.
GT6 should have been released this holiday instead of last year :/

Seems like Bend is working together with Santa Monica on a new PS4 game.

Agree and agree. Better to get it right though. They really need to avoid a driveclub situation again though.
More in line with every upcoming PS4 exclusive not being a must have for gamers.
It's not quantity that matter, but quality.
With the exception of TLoU, I can't think of a game that got universal acclaim, as well as commercial success from WWS recently.
What does that mean? Yes obviously they're a tier below in terms of likely sales potential, but they're not filler. Most of them have the potential to be fantastic games, some of the best in its respective year.

they've been a nonfactor every gen for sony. they are a different market. ps1,ps2 and now ps4 all destroy the competition anyways.

The PS3 could have been a CPU/GPU clone of the 360 and you'd still be incorrect: a large part of the extra cost was due to Blu-ray.

Those are not mid tier games they don't sell enough to be them .

Heh, maybe that was a bit hyperbolic, but the point is that the game looked like it still needed a lot of work.
And name how many PS3 games actually benefitted from it?
I could see that being the case, but MS doesn't have a consistent line up of games to support that.
They hoard their titles for the holidays, leaving the rest of the year wide open for Sony to lap up more consumers :/
That's the discussion at hand. How would I know if a game is bad if I haven't played it?
Just saying that most(for me at least) don't appeal to me.

Almost all of the first party games in the 2nd half of its life. MGS4, Uncharted games, God of War 3, etc I am sure would not have fit on a DVD.
I remember Spencer saying on IGN podcast they want to change that and spread out games through out the year. We will see come 2015.

The game media think it's decide quality the people that buy the games do also.
For eg Infamous SS sold 1 million in 9 days but the media would make you think FH2 and SSO are bigger games.
Still they could not sell 200k in NPD in first month .

Pro-tip: He won't be able to tell you because it's empty, save for Below and Ori. Sony's 2015 is looking packed in terms of exclusives alone so I think they'll be alright. Microsoft's problem is that any momentum they gain this holiday will quickly die without exclusive content to prop it up slightly in the slow months, seeing as PS4 is the chosen box for multiplatform games.
It's unlike a year ago where PS4's momentum continued simply down to it being new and at a great price....that kind of thing isn't going to fly as we move into 2015 for either platform so exclusive content in the drier months is where it's at. Sony has you covered. Microsoft on the other hand doesn't seem to.

What? How's it different? I was kind of hoping to jump into the series with it

They might do it earlier (at PSXP) to remind people who's boss this gen.
Or maybe they don't need to since they are so going to re-reveal TLG there.

lol, I love how you come up with both qualifiers. Because it's not good enough JUST to have universal acclaim,, you're also got to be a commercial success. And that's an incredibly easy thing to do, right?
