I just had to post in this thread so I could come back to it one day. It was legendary.
Are you telling me that we have the exact same handwriting? I have newfound respect for you!
And if, and this is a big IF someone isn't into FPS' full stop then those marketing dollars mean nothing.
I want to see people's opinons on "Titanfall: Fad or Fixture?" and if they think so far if the game is just a fad or is it something they believe can be amongst the ranks of well established shooters based on player counts and how often they play.
Nice chart though would like to see it with November and December added.

No, it absolutely would not. A very modest bump at most, but that's analogous to buying "pro-American"; much less about quality of the product and more about some abstract concept the product barely encompasses.
People wouldn't suddenly buy a system because it doesn't have DRM, they buy them because they have the content and games they want. Nintendo's games (not counting the Wii Sports and such) do not appeal to the majority of the casual or core market. That's why MS and Sony consoles have routinely outsold them, and continue to do so.
Also you're conflating the preorder situation with DRM; that probably had more to do w/ people preferring PS4 for its power, line-up, and good will off the tailend of the PS3 moreso than no-DRM (that was a factor, tho, I'm sure).
It's N64/PS1 all over again (in that order).

lot of my friends havent touch the game on the past weeks,me myself stopped playing two weeks ago..it was fun..but very shallow...for a full price game and only MP the game lacks a lot of stuff
Ditto.
No, it'll only turn into a flamewar I think.

should add post awe of TF leading up to Game of the Year TF
I forsee a ton of "quality vs quantity" comments even though there's only 3 games that aren't on PS4 on that list and they aren't critically acclaimed "GOAT" games.
A good amount of the other comments will ignore those games because they don't have a multi-million dollar marketing campaign. So regardless of the quality or amount of content, they won't exist.

Damn, MS need to open up the digital front. And both lacking of retailers titles - but it is usual for early years.
It's ironic, really. There are plenty of great games that aren't AAA.
Also, "Prepare for Titanfall" in February.

if only to dispel the ps4 doesn't have games narrative some try to put out.
Nov/Dec are about the same as Jan/Feb but in bigger numbers, I.e. PS4 has slightly more games, but not many more, in most of the PS4 has no games comparisons there are a lot of PS4 games that never come up such as Injustice, DC:UO, Warframe, Warthunder, Blacklight, pinball, the other pinball game, resogun, contrast etc etc.
I am shocked on team green....i mean does this include whatever beens releasing on marketplace? Hell has there been anything releasing on XB1 marketplace?
wow...

Yep people don't count a fair amount games for eg it seems F2P games don't count even though one of the biggest maybe the biggest game right now is F2P.

Actually the playstation blog helped out with this
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/03/26/ps4-games-in-2014-the-ultimate-list/
which pretty much breaks it all down
And not only that, I'm a huge fan of the indie offerings that have been coming to PS4.
Nope, it will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Sure, but you can't see the X1 list next to it to make a comparison*
*list war, flamebait and permabans
What on earth happened over at MS.
XBL Arcade was fantastic and really changed the dynamics of the previous gen.
XNA / XBL Indie Games may not have been a commercial success, but 3350 games in a few years showed how much mind share it had with developers. I personally invested heavily in XNA and my graphics library has had over 20,000 downloads.
Where did it go?

meh, the "no games", or no "real" games (whatever that means) is really an empty statement when the system (marketed from top to bottom as a games first console) is being sold out consistently since launch.
That thread was short-lived but hilarious nonetheless. Featured some expected responses from regulars too.

It's more like Saturn and PS1 all over again. Even the price announcements were similar.

I see Sony only doing one bundle per month (of a major game)
they have no need to do multiple seeing as it isn't any major shopping season
I think it would sell decent. I've seen plenty of people say they're tempted to buy a PS4 just because of The Show.

If PS4 keeps selling like that there will be some ugly shortages for Christmas 2014 as there won't be much time to build up stock for those months.

You can market the living hell out of one product with a certain marketing campaign but that doesn't guarantee anything. The PS4 "has no games" is more of continuation of the PS3 has no no games joke, which has heavily outlived its funniness.

I'd be surprised if Sony won't ramp up production temporarily during Sep-Oct-Nov to build stock, as long as it keeps selling at this rate that is.
You don't think they'll have planned ramp-ups in production the coming months, better yields and such?
Genuinely asking here.

Injustice and Resogun didn't release on the Xbone.

I'd rather have Titanfall than all those other small indie games. Titanfall probably outsold all of them put together. If you want to use a "quantity vs quality" argument I'll use one here as well.
